Canadian Market Find: Volkswagen 2018 Golf R Spektrum in Dark Violet Pearl
Super fans of the Volkswagen Spektrum run of Golf Rs in 40 different semi-tailored colors can likely already tell you that Canada received its own run of Spektrum cars in the 2018 model year - one year before America took delivery of its own mix.
Market Find: 2018 Canadian Volkswagen Golf R Spektrum in Copper Orange
Did you know the U.S. wasn't the only market to get the limited run of specially painted Golf R Spektrum models? Canada got them too, which means even more examples of these rare cars can be found north of the border. Take for example this Copper Orange Metallic example that's been listed in Ontario.
Market Find: BMW Individual Nardo Grey M3 Competition
Will·
We certainly love a good OEM+ build, and while this Tailored Driver may push the boundaries on that description, we think the overall theme fits squarely into the category. A CS-style hood, GTS-style lights, and M performance bits are all present here, if not quite as obvious as the 20" BBS LM wheels finished in Gold.
Market Find: BMW Individual Daytona Violet Metallic M3 Competition
Will·
In certain circles, paying up to get your new Tailored hot rod painted purple would be looked at as a downright strange choice. Fortunately this is not one of those circles, and Daytona Violet is not a color to be underestimated. Occurring for one wonderful year during the E36 M3's run before being replaced by the slightly different but just as cool Techno Violet, Daytona has become a favorite of enthusiasts and BMW themselves in recent times.
Market Find: 960hp Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue RS 3 Sedan
Will·
When launched, it wasn't hard to draw parallels between the then-new Audi RS 3 sedan and the tuner's darling B5 generation S4. Apart from physical size, it had great aftermarket potential, solid interior quality, and was understated enough that it wouldn't cause a scene in the lot of Whole Foods.
Market Find: Nogaro Blue Audi exclusive RS 5 Coupe on Carvana
It's always fascinating when you find a tailored specimen on a mass platform like Carvana. Sort of like happening upon a Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt toy in a bin at Walmart, it makes for a delightful experience you're not likely going to replicate anytime soon.
Market Find: Nogaro Blue Audi TT RS
If you’re looking for a car that’s never been modified, this car probably isn’t for you. That said, the folks who are into Audi’s turbocharged 5-cylinder models like the TT RS are probably aware and attracted to a built car. While photos are limited, we can clearly see tuning going on under the hood and negative camber on the wheels. The listing doesn’t give details, but it states 0 miles on a freshly rebuilt engine.
Market Find: 911 Cup-Inspired Porsche Paint to Sample Signal Yellow GT3
Will·
Some of us a are more, well, thorough than others when it comes to the Tailored Driver ethos. Paint to Sample colors are incredibly prevalent, so if you really want to set yourself apart from the others at your local Cars and Coffee (especially in the Bay Area), you have to bring it.
Market Find: 2018 Audi exclusive Riviera Blue RS 5 Coupe
Will·
Riviera Blue has been covered here before, and for good reason- it's a wildly popular bright blue that genuinely looks incredible when applied to all brands covered by Tailored Driver. Seen here on a 2018 Audi RS 5 with a tasteful yet subtle feature on it's Brake Calipers as well, this Tailored Driver also features several unknown modifications.
Market Find: BMW Individual Laguna Seca Blue M3 competition
Will·
Arguably underappreciated in it's day, BMW's Laguna Seca Blue is a vivid pastel blue that has gained traction in the past decade to the point where it's not just a frequent Tailored Driver flyer via BMW Individual, it also comes with it's own surcharge when found on E46 M3s and later Z3 M coupes.
