Audi of America product planners occasionally get to roll out micro batches of special edition cars and 2015 probably saw some of the most colorful ideas to come out of Herndon. The so-called 'Skittles' S3s were a batch of 25 cars equally split between 5 colors: Vegas Yellow, Viper Green, Sepang Blue, Misano Red, and Glut Orange. The paint wasn't the only touch; each car got an Audi exclusive leather package w...

I was really excited...I found a pristine Mars Red 1983 Audi Quattro that was perfect; started to write about it, and then...thought to search on our website to see if I had posted it before and lo and behold, I did back in September 2019. I was fooled by new photos of the Quattro. Oh well...it's still for sale if anyone is interested.
However, this find of the day I know I've never feature...

Yes this is our second Avant find of the day this week but really...you're going to complain about this one? Actually, I don't think anyone is complaining but I've been told in the past that I'm a little dramatic. This popped up on our Facebook Audi Club North America - Classified page yesterday and it's causing quite a stir. I reached out to Stephen for some additional information and he was kind eno...

The Avant is big news again in the Audi world as the RS 6 Avants have finally hit our shores and the A6 allroad is back. Interest from Audi enthusiasts hasn't changed though as they seek out desirable Avants of yore and I think this specimen will grab someone's attention. Obviously the color, Imola Yellow, is hard to miss but there are a couple of other points: it's a beloved B5, it's a 6sp manual, and i...

For our first find of the day on e-tron connect, we present this. You may wonder why we are featuring an A3 Sportback e-tron. It’s a Premium so not well equipped but there’s a story about this one…we think. The 1st thing you’ll notice is the color. We rarely, if ever, have seen Audi exclusive on an A3 e-tron. We confirmed with Audi of America’s Audi exclusive manager that this one was ordered...

So maybe we've gone a little Avant crazy lately. The Audi RS 6 Avant has finally landed, there's new footage of the A6 allroad, and this old-timer popped up on our radar. What you're looking at is a 1995.5 S6 Avant with some things done to it. I'll let the ad speak for itself:

*Bing* I awoke to the sound of a message coming through and was it a good one. Well, good could be a relative term. Emre sent me this R8 V10 performance with no comment and maybe no comment was needed. This is an Audi exclusive Zanzibar Brown R8 V10 performance. I don't remember if I've ever seen this color before. Here's the ad:

Yes, I'm not a fan of the MK1 TT and I get abused for it daily but there are a few things that will make me love a MK1 TT: Nimbus Grey, baseball leather seats, Fat Five wheels, a manual...and this one ticks off all the boxes. This TT is a time capsule and I'll let the ad describe why:
This is one of the cleanest Audi TTs you'll ever come across. The first Gen TT is getting harder to find and this one is ...

My cup runneth over. Ever since Season 1 of our find of the day: Throwdown Edition ended, I've been flooded with great FOTDs like the 1986 Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 Tribute...why couldn't these have popped up when we were playing the game? I might have actually won one. Wait, I did win the last episode. Hooray for me. Any way, enough about me. Here's the star you've been waiting for: a 1994 Audi RS2 Avant in...

The Audi Ur-quattro is climbing in price as every decent example (and not so decent) is snapped up. We've featured a couple like this one and this one. The former is priced at $46,000 and the latter at $85,000...not a price everyone can afford but what if there was an alternative?

This floated my way the other day but yesterday's 1986 Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 Tribute took priority as the next find of the day. That doesn't diminished though what this car is: a 1983 Audi Ur-quattro in Mars Red. These cars are getting harder to find and this one looks like it's in pretty good condition. Here's the ad:

I was feeling ill the last couple of days and have been on and off social media (mostly off) so when I woke up this morning, I had several messages about this car. Oh baby...someone's feeling better already. What you see here is a 1986 Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 tribute. I've seen several for sale over in Europe; can't remember seeing one here. Here's the ad:

Wow. That's all I have to say. Someone took a 2017 Audi R8 V10 plus and figured it wasn't enough so they dropped over $80k in parts and labor...and created this beauty here. Normally, I'm just content with a 'regular' V10 plus but then I've been told I'm not normal. Here's the ad:

Greeting from the season finale winner of find of the day: Throwdown Edition! Sorry about gloating; I've never won an episode before and well...it felt great crushing the completion with this baby. As I was looking for an entry into the show, I ran across this 1 of 150 Audi ABT RS 6 Nogaro Edition. I was so enamored by the car that I didn't pay attention to the vehicles in the background...all motorhomes...

Soooo yesterday I was ranting that my B5 RS 4 Avant should have won last week's find of the day episode but I totally forgot about this selection: a 1 of 8 2015 Audi R8 V10 Le Mans edition in Sepang Blue. George's choice won its round and the overall award...sorry Jacob. The ad for it is very bare bones but luckily we had our resident Audi Nerd, George, to fill in the blanks. It shows up at the 43 minute...

As I was searching for an Audi for last week's find of the day: Throwdown Edition, I found this B5 RS 4 Avant in Nogaro Blue. Since we had a Canadian Audi Club member as a guest, we went with the Canadian 15 year import rule (the U.S. has a twenty five year rule). It totally should have won its category if not the whole show but I'm not salty...much. Now some may know this about me but th...

Here's something you don't see every day: a 2 door Audi 4000. Ok, I don't see this every day; in fact, I don't think I've ever seen one before. In that mythical land of non-rusted vintage European metal (the Pacific Northwest), there lies this creature. The PNW seems to be filled with vehicles like this; in fact, our Executive Director bought his 1984 4000S quattro from this area and that thing is ...

As I prepared to fly solo on last night's find of the day: Throwdown Edition, I couldn't help but look back at last week's Audi Club vs Audi of America episode. While our guests were winning round after round, a vocal group of viewers were proclaiming that George should have won two of the rounds: Audi dealer stock and Audi classic. Here they are:

Until recently, I was looking for a B8.5 S4 and while there were plenty out there, I was looking for something special...different. George and I were scouring sites when he spotted something he hadn't seen in years and me never; a 2015 Nogaro Blue special edition S4. The announcement from Audi of America:
