Market Find: Audi exclusive Jet Blue Metallic R8 V10 plus
Will·
Some things tend to age better than others, don't they? Take this Tailored Audi exclusive Jet Blue Metallic R8 V10 plus for example. The facelift 1st gen R8 was handsome then, and to our eyes still is today. But where it tends to fall apart- as most do- is the interior.
Market Find: 2014 Audi RS 7 in Bentley Verdant Green
Verdant Green is a color Audi borrowed from Bentley, the ultra luxurious British marque that's a sibling to Audi in the Volkswagen Group. And while the hue looks natural on something Anglo and stately like a Continental GT, we'd also argue it looks the business on an RS 7.
Market Find: Audi S6 with Audi exclusive Cognac Leather
Will·
A budget pick that's close to home, this S6 has a ton going for it. Higher miles, sure, but this Ibis White example sports Audi exclusive Cognac Leather seats- an incredibly rare find. For just $14,500 this Tailored Driver represents an incredible value for both style and performance as it's likely a one-off, and is just a $900 flash away from more than 500hp and equal torque.
Market Find: 2014 Audi exclusive A4 quattro in Imola Yellow
A part of the tailored car segment we find to be most interesting are older examples, leaving us interested in how they've held up and how they price in against comparable cars of their age.

Market Find: 2014 Audi exclusive Nimbus Grey RS 5
Will·
The B8.5 generation of RS 5 was a pretty rowdy car, with it's incredibly high-revving V8 and subtle box flares, wrapped in a package that is aging incredibly well. Not many left the factory with Audi exclusive paint, so this particular example finished in Nimbus Grey is not only cool, it's also quite rare. Your guess is as good as ours as to why it's at a Nissan dealer, but we feel this may be a great case of a Dealer not really knowing what they've got. If you're interested, act fast.
Market Find: 2014 Audi exclusive Velvet Purple Pearl Effect RS 7
Will·
Not to be confused with the more prevalent and very similar Audi exclusive Merlin Purple Metallic, this Tailored Driver is finished in the slightly darker, more subdued Audi exclusive Velvet Purple Pearl, giving it a cool factor that goes beyond the fact that it happens to be applied to an RS 7.
Market Find: 2014 Audi exclusive Teak Brown Metallic S4
Will·
We’re always interested in a one-of-one, and this Audi exclusive Teak Brown Metallic S4 is just that. A claimed sixteen S4s were painted in this hue, but just one was paired with the uber-rare two-tone Chestnut Brown interior. Moving beyond the uniqueness of this S4, we start to see where the initial Tailor of this driver perhaps missed a box or two.
Market Find: Jerry Seinfeld’s 2014 911 50th Anniversary Edition Turbo S Coupe on BaT
In 2014, Porsche celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the 911 with a special "50th Anniversary Edition" model that utilized the then-wider body of the 991. 1963 were built to this specification, most easily recognizable for their Fuchs style wheels, houndstooth seats, and only available in either darker Graphite Grey (graphitgrau; non-metallic UNI; C2C2; Porsche) or lighter Geyser Grey. And while all of those had the base 911 drivetrain, Porsche also specially built a Graphite Grey Turbo S 50th Anniversary Edition for none other than Jerry Seinfeld. That car is currently up for sale on Bring a Trailer.
