If you're a fan of the so-called "Large Chassis Audi" segment (anything C or D segment, typically older) then you'll know that a 1991 Audi 200 20V Avant is one of the most sought-after. This was the last of the C3-generation for Audi, and it was the only year where the 200 got the more robust 20-valve (3B) 5-cylinder turbo. A manual transmission was the only choice, assuring this would be a wagon enthusiast's car like few others. Only 150 Avants wer...

If you were on the market for a very special RS 6 Avant, we're not sure you could do much better than this one. The long roof you see here was special ordered as Audi exclusive inside and out. It's painted Porsche Oak Green Metallic (not to be confused with Audi Oak Green Metallic), while on they inside it received Havanna Brown leather with Alabaster White stitching. It's also got a few tasteful modifications, making it the perfect specimen for s...

When Audi launched the current RS 6 Avant into the U.S. market in 2021, it led the charge with the "RS Tribute Edition", a model built to pay homage to the iconic RS2 of the 1990s. Only 25 examples were built to an identical spec, featuring Nogaro Blue paint, red brake calipers, silver optic 5-spoke wheels, black optic trim, and blue-stitched interior with additional leather on surfaces such as seat base sides.
With just 25 built, this already made...

An Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 rally car is a priceless thing, so the building of replicas has become a much repeated art for those who want their own versions of Audi's most bonkers Group B rally car. In theory then, you could buy one, build it and run it without the concerns of hurting something priceless. It's a grand idea.
Case in point is this specimen, reportedly built in Poland out of a 1984 Audi 80 chassis. It's popped up for sale on Bring-...

The RS e-tron GT is new enough in Audi of America's lineup that tailored Audi exclusive versions are still relatively rare. So, when they do pop up, we definitely take notice... especially if it's an iconic and sought-after color like Nogaro Blue.
This particular version is especially interesting, because it's both highly desirable and new inventory (so available). It's currently sitting in inventory at Audi Lancaster in central Pennsylvania. Yes, ...

There's this bridge time for classic cars that moves from old and affordable so ripe for modification, on to old and in need of expensive repairs that may not happen, then on to old and classic where pristine and unmodified condition can pay off in spades. The B5-generation A4/S4/RS 4 is definitely reaching the latter status. So, when a clean example of an S4 Avant shows up on Bring a Trailer, it's worth noting... and watching.
This example ...

The Audi 50 3-door hatchback was produced from 1974-1978 and offered in 2 trims: the LS or GL. 180,812 were built and proved popular in Europe. Volkswagen rebadged it as the Polo and while the 50 production stopped in 1978 after one generation, the Polo is still being produced. This fantastic 50GL was fully restored in 2017 and is offered up for auction. Here's the ad:

I've said it before but there's something about Audi and the color blue. There are so many great shades but one seems to always stand out: Nogaro Blue. Audi of America celebrated it by offering the RS 6 Avant RS Tribute edition to pay honor to the RS2 Avant of legend. If you missed out on the Tribute but still need the space, you should check out this Audi exclusive Q7. Here's the ad:

Remember Ambassador Automobile, the small New Jersey? Kevin Ginsberg, the owner and former guest on our podcast, has built a niche in hard-to-find and well-preserved old Audi models. Kevin's a regular on auction sites like Bring-a-Trailer for the cars he finds. Take for example this 1991 200 20V in '90s-tastic Pearl White Metallic.
If you didn't know, 1991 is the only year the C3 Audi 200 came with the 20-valve version (3B) of Audi's venerable 5-cylinder turbocharged engine. A manual was the ...

There's a cult following for Audi Avants and especially powerful ones. This is a 1995.5 S6 Avant. There weren't a lot of them imported into the States and some that you find today have suffered the decades of neglect and rust...except for this one. Bobby Hopp owns this one and if you know Bobby, he goes through lengths to keep all his vehicles in top shape. Here's the ad:

The Mk1 R8 V8 - such a statement when it burst upon the scene and has endeared itself to many. While some lived a comfortable life of a garage queen, only taken out on weekends, others were driven. Meet Igor; he belongs in the latter group. He and his Audi Club owner made a drive to the 2018 Audi Club National Event in Tacoma, WA in the company of other Audi Club members (The Conga L...

There's a poster near my desk that has every Sport quattro made and what color they are. Of course, Tornado Red (128) dominates the palette followed by Alpine White (48), Copenhagen Blue (21), Malachite Green (15), and Black (2). This Sport quattro is one of the 21 Copenhagen Blue.I've seen Tornado Red and Malachite Green in person but not this color and I have to admit, it may be my favorite. Here's th...

You may or may not know this but the 1st generation Spyker C8s are powered bu Audi's 4.2L V8. It's not the high-revving one found in the RS 4 but rather the V8 found in the B6/7 S4. Spyker itself says that a Spyker isn't your 1sr supercar; it's your eighth. The original Spyker not only manufactured cars but also fighter aircrafts. You can see this history in their logo and also in some design features. He...
