Find of the Day: 2017 Audi exclusive Merlin Purple SQ5

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="48279"] words: Bill, photos: Audi Sylvania When we were raffling an RS 3 with Audi exclusive paint thrown in, the color most people said they wanted was Merlin Purple...and it was also the color most people said they didn't want. It's a love-it or hate-it color. I happen to love it but didn't think I would see it on an Audi SUV until today. While scouring Facebook looking for a Find of the Day for our Throwdown tonight, I ran across this from a p...

Find of the Day: 2014 Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue RS 7

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="47762"] words: Bill, photos: Cars.com and German Cars for Sale This car may look familiar...it was one of the cars featured on our Find of the Day: Throwdown Edition livestream last week. What was astonishing to me was that this Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue over Crimson Red was in the Daily Driver segment where the price is capped at $50,000. That's right...you can get this RS 7 for under $50,000. I was astounded. I didn't even look at these for ...

Audi exclusive Exclusive Report: Goodwood Green for Goodwood Green

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="46226"] by: Viktor Hadjiev, Continental Audi of Naperville When it comes to being attached to your Audi, some take it a step further than others do. P.G enjoyed his Goodwood Green pearl 6-speed B6 S4 for 16 years. When it came time to upgrade, he was not ready to give up the color though and he still wanted something rare. As soon as ordering started, P.G. placed an order for the first 2020 RS 3 sedan in the same color as his S4. Being Audi exclu...

Find of the Day: Former H&R Audi exclusive RS 3

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="37510"] words: Bill, photos: H&R, George Achorn This particular Audi exclusive Orange Pearl Effect V3 may look familiar to some readers as it has graced both the pages of quattro Magazine and the website (featured in q1_2018 and in the SEMA Show photo gallery on the site). It was my instant favorite at SEMA not only because of its eye-grabbing color but also of the "ghost" Audi rings on its flanks...reminiscent of when I played Gran Turism...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="32889"] words: Bill, photos: Kelly Motorcars How does one stand out of a crowd?

words: Bill, photos: Prestige EuroCars How do you follow up the much beloved B5 S4? Audi had the answer with the B6 S4 and stuffed the 4.2 V8 under the bonnet. The sound of that V8...oh man. So how do you stand out from other B6 S4s? You choose one in Goodwood Green (I have a thing for GG). This particular example has seen some mileage...107,580 to be exact.

Find of the Day: 1994 Audi exclusive RS 2 in Porsche Oak Green

words: Bill Cho, photos: autoscout24.com The last time we featured a FOTD RS 2, it was a 1995 Polar Silver example with only 38,000 miles and was listed for €69,911.00 ($89,597.36 USD). This one can be had for quite a bit less and it's a 1994 model which means you only have to wait a couple of months to legally import it to the States. Located in Amsterdam at De Automobielfabriek, this RS 2 has 126,395 km (78,538 miles) and can be had for significantly less that the Polar Silver...

Audi exclusive Mocha Latte A4 allroad at Walter’s Audi

"Buick Beige"? The hell you say. The Audi exclusive color Mocha Latte may be on the beige end of the spectrum, but it's anything but boring. It's been a unique regular amongst Audi exclusive builds, here most recently on an allroad that's in inventory over at Walter's Audi in Riverside, CA. Mocha Latte first wowed Audi aficionados when it landed on an RS 6 in the Audi Forum Ingolstadt. Consider it an extension of the lighter toned paint trend that ushered in the likes of Nardo Grey, its a...

Audi Sport performance parts on R8 and R8 RWS

Take for example these three different R8s that have circulated through the Audi Forum Neckarsulm. Audi announced several months ago that it was launching this line of customer racing inspired performance parts. For now, they're geared toward R8 and TT RS models, likely with more to come in the future. The line is comprised ...

Take for example this Audi exclusive S5 Sportback in inventory at Walter's Audi of Riverside.

Audi exclusive Ipanema Brown A5 Sportback

There's a reason Ipanema Brown has been a subtle player in the Audi exclusive business for years. It's not a color that screams look at me like a Lime Green or even a Nogaro Blue. While understated in its medium brown tone, it is like nothing else out there. In as much, it's an excellent choice for a customer seeking something unique, but without needing to scream it. What you see here is a European market Audi A5 Sportback. The Sportback variant of the Audi A5 lineup is quickly becoming ...

Audi exclusive Porsche Grauschwarz at Ed Carroll Audi in Colorado

We fell in love with the shade 'Grauschwarz' (Gray Black) as the Porsche GT3 RS paint code that was used on one of H&R's RS 3 sedans on display at SEMA. It's a great looking medium grey with undertones of blue, and thanks to Ed Carroll Audi in Fort Collins, CO, we now know it looks as good on an RS 7 performance as it did on an RS 3. What we know about this car is the basics. First off, it's an Audi RS 7 performance that's come available at Ed Carroll Audi. In addition to the Porsche ...

Audi exclusive S5 Sportback in Nogaro Blue at Audi North Houston

Nogaro Blue has been a mainstay amongst Audi enthusiasts since it first dropped in Europe on the RS2 Avant (then later in the USA on the B5-era S4). Not surprisingly, it's also a popular choice amongst those opting for Audi exclusive special order paint. Case in point is this S5 Sportback that just landed at Audi North Houston. Word from AJ Brivic of Audi North Houston is that the car is not only live and in the metal at their Texan dealership, it's also not currently spoken for. Rega...

Audi exclusive RS 3 in #2D8 Green

  We're not 100% sure this is the color code #2D8  known simply as "Green" on the standard Audi exclusive color chart, but there's really nothing else like it in the "standard" offering from Audi's in-house tailoring department. What we are 100% sure of is that Audi UK's PR photography is on point in choosing such a special build for a photo shoot. To our eye, this is the exact same green Audi of America put on five of its Color.Storm mix of S3s run in the pre-facelift genera...
