find of the day: Hoonitron Wheel to Benefit Lucy Block’s 43 Institute

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="93847"] Normally we feature cars in our find of the day series, but occasionally when we see a stand out part, piece of automobilia, etc., we deviate and make an exception. That's especially the case when the sale of the item benefits a good cause. It's for that reason we feel the need to draw your attention to an auction launched by Lucy Block and the 43 Institute via Ebay Motors. Effectively, it's a mix of Ken Block memorabilia. We've inc...

find of the day: Highly Unique Audi exclusive S5 Coupe

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="99056"] If you're looking for a unique GT with four rings on the hood, this 2023 Audi S5 may fit the tune. What began as a well optioned Audi exclusive Vegas Yellow example went even further down the performance path when Audi Wilmington's Sam Brandes bought it as his personal car and then began to apply upgrades. Check out the listing at Audi Wilmington's website and you'll find the basics on the factory build. That was just the start thou...

find of the day: B8 A4 Avant with V8 Manual Swap

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="98896"] If you're lamenting the bygone era of big displacement and manual transmissions, then this 2010 Audi A4 Avant may be just the thing you've been waiting for. Not only has it had a manual transmission swap, but it's also got an Audi 4.2 V8. The idea of a B8 V8 wasn't entirely lost on Audi. The S5 had one when it launched, though switched to the supercharged 3.0 TFSI when the S5 got its mid-lifecycle refresh. Not so the A4 or Q5. These...

find of the day: Ur S6 quattro Mag Feature Car on BAT

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="98794"] Remember that super clean S6 Avant we featured back in our Q4_2022 issue? We have to say, it’s one of our favorite OEM+ builds of all time, and now its owner Josh has it for sale over on Bring a Trailer. We’re catching this one late in process, meaning it’s got less than 24 hours left on its auction and is tracking at at a remarkably affordable price at this hour. Check it out HERE.

find of the day: Manual Swapped B8 Avant

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="98726"] If the idea of a manual-swapped B8 A4 Avant caught your eye, we fully understand. It caught ours too. Audi never built a B8 manual Avant for the USA, so finding one already done is a treat. Alas though, it needs work, so figure that into your budget... labor too if you don't have the know-how to do it on your own. Long story short, this is a 97,000 mile 2010 A4 Avant. It's owned and maintained by a self identified former Audi Master...

find of the day: First-Gen Q7 TDI offroad

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="98008"] For those wanting something unique, yet without the time, skills of funds to take on your own project, buying it built can be a solid  strategy employed for vehicle acquisition. To that end, we've found a dealership in Sacramento, CA that appears to have a thing for off-road prepped first-generation Q7 TDIs. Why do we say "a thing" for them? Well, they've got at least two similarly equipped Q7 TDIs in inventory with photos uploaded...

find of the day: Low Mile 2006 Audi TT 3.2 Special Edition

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="97782"] Back in 2006, Audi closed out Mk1 TT production with a special edition roadster. For TT enthusiasts, these are sought-after cars, as they paired some of the highest factory spec with the more iconic Mk1 body style. They don’t come up on the market often, particularly low mileage examples such as this one at DRIV3N Auto in Tucson, Arizona. Just 99 examples were built, and all to the same spec. Each was painted Quartz Grey Metallic ...

find of the day: Goodwood Green Audi RS 7 at Audi Norwell

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="97750"] There's tasteful and then there's Goodwood Green (a.k.a. really tasteful). It's hard not to love Audi's take on the iconic British Racing Green theme that's a little darker and a little more gray. This green hue dropped in the early 2000s on cars like the Mk1 TT, RS 4 B5 and RS 6 C5. It remains 20-something years later one of the more popular Audi exclusive colors, so when it pops up on a new RS 7 we sit up and take notice. [gallery lin...

find of the day: Nogaro Blue 2021 Audi RS 6 RS Tribute Edition (1 of 25)

[gallery columns="1" link="file" size="full" ids="97580"] As most RS 6 enthusiasts can tell you, Audi of America built just 25 RS Tribute edition RS 6 Avants back in 2021, then promptly locked out its iconic Nogaro Blue paint from future RS 6 production. That lockout stood until MY 2024 when the color was reopened, though the rareness of Audi exclusive production slots has kept many further cars from being produced at this time. It’s rare that these cars come on the market, but we w...

find of the day: Actual Nogaro Blue S4 in Colorado

[gallery columns="1" link="file" size="full" ids="97419"] Yesterday we ran a find of the day that was a used and likely modified S4 that was also an unconfirmed Nogaro Blue. Listed as Navarra Blue, it looked more like Nogaro though could have been something similar. Thanks to the post on our highly informative Facebook Group, we've learned not only the actual color of that car, but also that there just happens to be a new 2023 S4 Prestige in Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue at Audi Colorado Springs...

find of the day: Possible Nogaro Blue B9 S4 at AutoNation in Texas

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="97328"] Our usual monitoring of the Audi marketplace has turned up an interesting B9 S4 in Amarillo, Texas. The car looks like it may be an Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue build, possibly with a few modifications, but details by the dealer aren't entirely conclusive. Here's what we know. The 2020 S4 Prestige is listed as "Navarra Blue", though clearly it's not that. Navarra is a dark navy blue metallic, while this is much more of a primary blue....

find of the day: Nogaro Blue B8 A4 Avant Back on Bring a Trailer

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="97251"] This particular Nogaro Blue A4 Avant has a bit of a following. Built to a perfect spec in 2012, it's bounced around amongst several owner aficionados while picking up some tasteful OEM plus modifications along the way. It's also only logged about 30,000 miles, helping assure it remains in well kept condition. Even better, it's just come available (again) on the Bring a Trailer auction site. The original build was Audi exclusive Noga...

The spec is unique in more than just color. Combine that with Audi Certified Pre-Owned status makes it a solid choice for somebody looking for a unique modern Audi on a bit of a budget. [gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="97198"] Obviously, the paint is the main draw here. While the ...

find of the day: Porsche Riviera Blue SQ5 at Niello Audi (Again!)

[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="97183"] Somebody at Niello Audi has a thing for Porsche colors on SQ5s. It was literally just yesterday that we were reporting the availability of an example in Porsche Jade Green. Now, here’s another in their current inventory in Riviera Blue.

find of the day: Porsche Jade Green SQ5 at Audi Niello

[gallery columns="1" size="full" link="file" ids="97102"] We're not sure if it's a coordinated effort, but we're seeing more than the usual mix of Audi exclusive SQ5s coming into market as new MY2024 inventory right now. Take for example this specimen that's popped up as inventory at Niello Audi in Sacramento, California. It is painted a very unique Porsche Jade Green.

find of the day: Collector Grade Neiman Marcus TT

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="97075"] If you're a TT Mk1 fan or collector of obscure Audi special editions, you may want to take note of this rather unassuming 2000 TT we stumbled across on the Audi TT Marketplace US Group over on Facebook. It's a rare Neiman Marcus Edition with just 15,500 miles... but that's not all. At the very start of the Audi TT's first arrival in the United States, Audi of America paired up with premium catalogue house Neiman Marcus to offer a li...

find of the day: Suzuka Grey Audi exclusive TT RS

[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="96763"] If you haven’t seen Suzuka Grey Metallic in person, you really need to. In bright lighting like the photos you see here, it may look like simple white. Simply though, it’s not. Sort of like Porsche Chalk, it’s a very unique pivot on white or light grey. It was also a popular factory offering during the TT RS Mk2 era, so when we spotted a Mk3 TT RS in the same color in inventory over at Audi Wilsonville, we were admittedly curious...

find of the day: 1999 Audi S3

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="96139"] photos: autoscout24.com We in the States have this [retracted] 25-year import rule so we can only look in envy at Europe and Japan at all the desirable models. Heck, even Canada has to wait for only 15 years. But good things come to those who wait (25 years) like this 1999 Audi S3. We obviously didn't get the 8L S3 and definitely didn't get the 8L S3 with this much power. Here's the ad (translated from German): [gallery link="none" column...
