Market Find: Volkswagen Spektrum Squirrel Grey Golf R
Will·
While not the most staggering of all Golf R Spektrum statistics, we're somewhat surprised at the rarity of Squirrel Grey. Just 6 Volkswagen Spektrum buyers opted for a color that's equal parts unique and inoffensive. Perhaps it was the dull, pastel grey's similarity to so many other colors that were then- and still are now- somewhat in vogue.

We've covered Spektrum Golf R's here before, and each time one pops up it's admittedly somewhat of a surprise. Cult following, roughly 200 built (33 in Viper Green), enthusiast brand and model- which is a long way to say "these things are sold before hitting market."
Market Find: 2019 VW Golf R Spektrum in Irish Green (Round 2)
We've said it before (literally) and we'll say it again. Irish Green is one of the best colors you could have gotten on Volkswagen's 2019 run of Golf R Spektrum cars painted very special colors. Yes, we've seen this car before. It transacted on Bring a Trailer late last year, and it looks like it ended up in the inventory of Wyomissing, PA dealer Bay 22.
Market Find: Ginster Yellow Volkswagen Golf R Spektrum
At this point we suspect our readers are familiar with the Volkswagen Golf R Spektrum series from 2019. In short, 40 different colors were chosen, built, and subsequently sold through the U.S. and Canada. Of those, Ginster Yellow was chosen to hark the 1997 Driver’s Edition GTI (Mk3).
Market Find: 2019 VW Golf R Spektrum in Irish Green
Beyond special or limited edition models, Volkswagen hasn't had its own in-house tailoring department. However, in 2019, then Golf product planner Megan Closset decided to take matters into her own hands. VW of America was never going to set up a program like Audi has with Audi exclusive, but by doing a very limited run of a large spectrum of colors she could effectively do the same thing. So, that run was made ergo "Spektrum", and those cars showed up at dealers with enthusiasts seeking them out like a Hot Wheels Treasuer Hunt.
