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.
Market Find: 2019 Volkswagen Golf R Spektrum in Copper Orange Metallic
Though VW doesn't have a tailor of their own, most regular readers of this website should by now know of the Golf Spektrum run of cars. Back in 2019, VW built a large collection of Golf R models painted in micro batches of unobtainium colors. These cars command a premium and are highly sought after when they come up online.
Market Find: Volkswagen Spektrum ’91 Blue Golf R
Will·
What's the origin of '91 Blue? We don't really know, but it's not that we haven't tried to figure it out. We even reached out to a member of the product team at Volkswagen who made the cars happen. Here's what we got.
Market Find: Volkswagen Spektrum Sarantos Turquoise Golf R
Will·
Tailored Driver has covered the one-year-only Volkswagen Spektrum Golf R models in the past, but this one is a bit special. Sadly not present at last weekend's gathering of R's called "Wookies in the Woods" and held annually near Robbinsville, NC- where many Spektrums were present- this particular car has plenty of VW event history.
Market Find: Unique Volvo V90 T5 R Design
We don't typically feature repainted cars on this site, because the technical focus is the factory tailors or the remasters. Still, every once in a while, a redone car comes along that captures our attention. This Volvo V90 in Porsche Black Olive seems to qualify.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Kemora Grey RS 5 sportback
Will·
There's no use in sugar-coating it- this RS 5 sportback has been hit. Twice. But with a cost of entry that reflects- just $40k- does this represent good Tailored Driver value for money? To us, yeah, totally.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Chalk RS 5 sportback
Will·
This Tailored Driver has already started to cause somewhat of a crisis within our office. George loves the RS 5 sportback. George loves Porsche's Chalk color. But he's also picky. While not a Comp pack model, this RS 5 has just about everything he wants in a Driver.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Racing Blue Mica RS 5 sportback
Will·
Audi exclusive Racing Blue Mica is one of the more rare hues on the Tailored Driver spectrum, likely due to its similarity to several other hues- most notably Navarra Blue, which was an optional factory color for that year. Perhaps not wanting to pay the cost for such subtlety, prospective Tailors have missed out as Racing is both a deep and vibrant blue, reminiscent of BMW's San Marino Blue.
Triple Blue Porsche 911 GT2 RS ‘Weissach’ with RM Sotheby’s in Miami
We're noting a theme amongst the cars from the Todd Blue LAPIS collection, mainly blue and sometimes triple blue (blue body, blue wheels, blue interior) with some sort of incredible fabric pattern on the seats for good measure. Such is the case with this 991-era 911 GT2 RS "Weissach Package", an incredibly unique build with a long list of special wishes touches.
Market Find: 2018 Volkswagen Spektrum Copper Orange Metallic Golf R
Will·
One of the more rare Volkswagen Spektrum hues, paired with an old-school 6-speed manual transmission, this Golf R is an exceptionally engaging Tailored Driver at a fairly safe price point.
