find of the day: Audi exclusive Arrow Grey Pearl R8 V10 Coupe RWS

[words: Bill Cho, photos: Coleton Guerin, Clear Detailing] Yes I know our last find of the day was also an Audi exclusive R8 V10 Coupe RWS but since there are only 320 landing on our shores and fewer in Audi exclusive colors, any find is a find of the day. This gorgeous example is painted in Audi exclusive Arrow Grey Pearl. Coleton Guerin, owner of Clear Detailing in Greely, CO and photographer of these photos, spent over 12 hours  bringing out the brilliance of this color. ...

find of the day: Audi exclusive Riviera Blue R8 V10 Coupe RWS

[words: Bill Cho, photos: James Lee (food4audis)] The R8 V10 RWS is already a rare breed with only 999 produced with 320 of them coming to the States. If you want even more exclusivity, feast your eyes on this Audi exclusive Riviera Blue...1 of 1. While cruising through my Facebook feed, a flash of blue caught my eye. Our friend, Phil Braun, posted this beauty. Phil is the Audi Sport Specialist at Walter's Audi in Riverside, CA. I asked if he could send me more photos and that's when J...

find of the day: NOS Minichamps 1:43 Audi Sport quattro Pike’s Peak

Today's find of the day goes out to the scale model collectors amongst us. Rare and out of production models tend to pull a serious premium on auction sites like Ebay, and that's if you can find them at all. Take for example the Minichamps' 1:43 iteration of Walter Röhrl's 1987 Audi Sport quattro Pike's Peak racer. Minichamps did a limited edition run (6687 units) back in 2006, complete with cool display box featuring a map of the Pike's Peak hillclimb. It seems at least one of those un...

find of the day: 1962 DKW Munga

For those hoping to build an esoteric collection of vintage Audi models, we have just the thing. A 1963 DKW Munga Jeep has popped up as a lot in the Lucky Collector Car Auctions Spring Classic. While not exceptionally rare in Europe, few of these Jeep-like 4x4s ever made it to the USA and so they're a treat when encountered. Like many post war pre-turbocharger Audi models, the Munga isn't the fastest option in this segment. It sports a 2-stroke 3-cylinder engine with 900cc displacement. A...

find of the day: 1985 Ur-quattro

[words: Bill Cho, photos: Bring A Trailer] Ahhhhh...Bring A Trailer. Why must you torment me so? For those not in the know, Bring A Trailer (or BAT) is a website for finding great vintage cars in one spot. Also a website for wasting a lot of time dreaming of vehicles from your dreams. Take this 1985 Ur-quattro. Said to be one of the 73 imported to the States for the updated 1985 model, it's finished in Stone Grey Metallic over grey leather and everything looks great. Ad: Thi...

find of the day: 2002 Audi S6 Avant – Big Turbos and Manual Transmission

words: Bill Cho, photos: Craiglist  After a title like that, do I even to explain why this is a find of the day? I mean who wouldn't want a manual transmission swapped S6 Avant? But wait, there's more. This is not a wolf in sheep's clothing; this is a freaking wild boar in pig's clothing. The 'normal' S6 Avant came with the venerable 4.2L V8. This beast has the 2.7T V6 with two big Tial 605 v1 turbos installed. The ad reads: For sale is my 2002 Audi S6 with a built 2.7t mot...

find of the day: 1990 Ur-quattro 20V RR

words: Bill Cho, photos: 4 Star Classics The Ur-quattro will always be a special car and because so, they are getting harder and harder to find in good condition. This one classifies as "good" if not "great" condition.  The last of the breed, this is a 1990 example with only 81,092 miles since new. The description says there's no damage aside from a small crack in the front splitter and only a couple of small blemishes in the Crystal Silver Metallic paint.  All the glass and lens...

find of the day: 2016 Audi exclusive Viper Green S3…a Skittles car with 500hp

words: Bill Cho, photos: Pepper Yandell 25, 5, 1...500. Numbers plucked from the air but these have meaning. Twenty five special S3s were built by Audi exclusive: 5 Vegas Yellow, 5 Glut Orange, 5 Sepang Blue, 5 Misano Red, and my personal favorite, 5 Viper Green. One because this one is for sale and 500...well that's how many horses live under this Viper Green hood. Owner Ryan Blair, like the owner of our last FOTD, is a pure Audi-phile. He is a Master Guild Audi Technician who wo...

I ran across this Craigslist ad and it intrigued me not only because it was an RS 4 clone but it had to have been the most detailed ad I've ever read. The list of what was done goes on and on...and on. I sent an email to a friend who sent an email to a friend and befor...

find of the day: 1995 Audi RS 2 Avant

words: Bill Cho, photos: Audi Van Beynum In a recent interview, Audi of America's Scott Keogh mentioned a 'surprise RS model' coming to the States. The debate on our page quickly boiled down to an RS 4 Avant or an RS 6 Avant with some people throwing the RS Q5 into the mix. That got me thinking about the granddaddy of them all, the RS 2 Avant. With the earliest ones built in 1994, that's only 1 year away til we can import them into the States. How many can I find for sale in Europe on ...

Raced by Team SAINTéLOC, it campaigned at Spa Francorchamps, Nogaro, Monza, and Brands Hatch just to name a few. Beyond that, there's not that much information on this particular vehicle.

words: Bill Cho, photos: Craigslist There are executive cars and then there are executive muscle cars. The C5 RS 6 falls into the second category. The first RS model (and only RS 6) to hit the shores of the States, it made quite an impact. Motor Trend said: "The RS 6 spools up with so little drama, it doesn’t feel as quick as it is. Until you look down and realize you’re going 20 mph faster than you thought you were–and 50 mph faster than your mother would want you to." This part...

words: Bill Cho, photos: Gooding & Company To find a clean Ur-quattro in the States these days is getting harder and harder so I normally look at the European sites to get my fix. These cars were a fantasy of mine since middle school ever since I read about Rally Group B. On a whim, I decided to look Stateside and I ran across this 1985 beauty on the Gooding & Company website.

A friend of ours pointed us to the Craigslist ad. That's right, it's a C6 S6 Avant...that's for sale...in Seattle. German AutoHaus Woodinville built this wunderwagen sometime before 2016.

find of the day: 1993 Audi S2 Avant with RS 2 Goodies

words: Bill Cho, photos: mobile.de Any conversation about which Audi is the most desirable and most likely, the RS 2 Avant is at or near the top of the list. Alas (at least for us in the States) we won't be able to legally import one until 2019 because of the 25-year import laws not to mention the sky high prices that are listed for them. Rats. However, there are options. In 1993, Audi produced the S2 Avant powered by the 230hp 2.2L turbo 5. 1993 + 25 years = joy for Americans who want...

words: Bill Cho, photos: Kelly Motorcars Every once in awhile (ok, pretty much every day), I look for cool cars for sale on the internet. Today, I ran across this 2008 RS 4. I see RS 4s come up for sale on a regular basis but what caught my eye on this one was the mileage listed- an almost unbelievable 9,650 miles. I say almost unbelievable because there isn't an actual photo of the odometer with the car on in the ad. The second thing I noticed was that this RS 4 is an Audi exclusive m...
