We’ve asked the question time and time again. Does a car artfully built from the standard options list count as tailored? I’d argue they do, and there’s an art to creating something truly unique within the confines of those options. By these criteria, I’d argue this Taycan Cross Turismo 4S is tailored.
The color is a standard one and known as Cherry Metallic. On the inside, it’s paired with Porsche’s Olea Leather option package, one that in this case includes rare Truffle Brown leather that pairs excellently with the exterior color.
Another rare option list choice is color-matching the wheels. Back in the 1980s, color-matched Fuchs on a G-body 911 was a popular option and thus the look became distinctively Porsche. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen those 5-spoke alloys color-matched to a Taycan, but we can’t remember ever seeing it done in Cherry Metallic.
One last thing, this is a late model electric car, meaning it succumbs to a heavy level of depreciation. In as much, lightly used examples make for an excellent buy. Priced at $84,991, it’s well below its original window sticker price.
We ran a check on this car and drew a blank. No information was available via our first check source. And while we can go to a contact at the factory for additional information, we try to only do that when we’re stumped. In this case, we’re not really stumped and are fairly certain the car is Cumulus Blue.
Dear Audi, can you please put a color code on your Monroney window stickers? The dealer in this case has the Monroney in the listing and so we include it below, but not including that information on the sticker doesn’t allow dealerships to know what they have… sometimes even Audi franchise dealerships… which seems like something a brand would want to fix. And don’t even get us started on taking the time to purchase or find an Audi exclusive car only to find the CGI rendering in your My Audi app is boring silver, while your boring factory colored Audi ins the same app are as-delivered correctly colored.
Okay, rant over. We think this car is Cumulus Blue. Fortunately, there aren’t a lot of colors in the Audi exclusive portfolio that are remotely close to this color. There’s also a Cumulus Blue Audi in one of our staff’s garages so we think we’ve got a better understanding than most about the many shades from white to Gulf Blue that a Cumulus Blue car can take.
Whatever the case, this is a handsome RS e-tron GT, so handsome in fact that Audi recently included this color on its own German market Audi exclusive information page. And while they car on that page is of the facelift J1.2 variety, it’s effectively the same car as this visually… all the way down to the wheels.
It’s a great spec. The apparently factory agrees. If you are looking for a really unique tailored EV, we’d add this one to the short list.
Rolls-Royce is celebrating 100 years of the Phantom nameplate, so what better and more opulent car and backdrop could emphasize this point than the one-of-one commissioned Phantom Goldfinger on display at the 2025 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. It just sort of makes sense.
In case you missed it, the Phantom Goldfinger is a lavishly appointed bespoke example built to honor the 1964 James Bond movie Goldfinger. This private commission includes 24-carat gold details paying tribute with unique film references throughout the car. Rolls-Royce revealed full details of the car and its highly unique specification back in October and we published that information HERE.
Fans of the James Bond films will likely remember that the film’s villain Auric Goldfinger himself drove a 1937 Phantom III Sedan de Ville.
Beyond the cars, the Rolls-Royce design team exhibited eight artworks highlighting the evolution of the Phantom, while a Phantom V drove in the event’s opening parade.

The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is the perfect setting for Rolls-Royce, as both this gathering and our marque celebrate the motor car as an object of art, craftsmanship and cultural expression. In this exceptional location, we are proud to make the public debut of Phantom Goldfinger, a remarkable expression of our Bespoke capabilities and a powerful tribute to a film cherished by the client. To have the original 1937 model, which featured in the film and inspired this motor car, displayed at the event makes this moment even more special. Presenting these exquisite Phantoms and original artworks created by our designers in tribute to the nameplate in its centenary year is a fitting celebration of our pinnacle motor car.” – Chris Brownridge, Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars celebrated the 100th anniversary of Phantom, the marque’s most famous nameplate, at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, Italy, on 24 May 2025.
Rolls-Royce chose this exclusive gathering for the worldwide public debut of Phantom Goldfinger, presented on the Grand Hotel’s renowned Mosaic Lawn on the shore of Lake Como. The striking one-of-one Phantom Extended pays homage to the 1964 James Bond film, Goldfinger – one of twelve Rolls-Royce appearances in the 007 film franchise.
Revealed in 2024, the film’s 60th anniversary year, the motor car takes inspiration from the 1937 Phantom III Sedanca de Ville owned by the title’s eponymous villain, Auric Goldfinger, which was also shown at the event. The story of this motor car and the film is masterfully explored in Phantom Goldfinger, which includes 18- and 24-carat gold detailing, cinematic references, and intricate storytelling elements inspired by the film’s characters, locations and themes.
Further celebrating the centenary of Phantom, an exhibition of eight original artworks charted the evolution of Phantom’s design, and the world it has both inhabited and shaped over the past 100 years. Designers at Goodwood created the series, each capturing a different Phantom generation in the artistic style of its era. The settings of each piece also reflect the influence Phantom has exerted over its ten decades, and the many roles it has played and guises it has assumed.
Guests and media from around the world also witnessed the gathering’s opening parade, which included an immaculately presented example of Phantom V. This celebrated generation of the marque’s flagship motor car has been owned and loved by some of the most significant cultural and political figures in modern history, a reminder of Phantom’s role as a symbol of power, influence, and leadership.
Amid a year of heightened cultural and luxury activity across Italy, the debut of Phantom Goldfinger and the celebration of Phantom’s centenary at the event became a defining expression of Bespoke artistry and enduring cultural significance. This moment reflects not only Phantom’s remarkable legacy but also its ongoing power to inspire, captivate and lead as it enters a new century.

There’s something about a low mile and recent year tailored build from a top luxury manufacturer. Letting someone else pay the premium to make something spectacular is a great way to get a shrewd price on a modern offering, and we think this Isle of Man Green X6M fits the bill.

It’s always fascinating when you find a tailored specimen on a mass platform like Carvana. Sort of like happening upon a Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt toy in a bin at Walmart, it makes for a delightful experience you’re not likely going to replicate anytime soon.
We’ve been watching CarMax for a while now, though have now added Carvana to our list as well after seeing the car’s former owner post about seeing his car on the mass market used car dealer’s site.
According to the claimed original owner, there are a few things to know about the car including some engine modifications and some mechanical needs it had when he owned it (apparently before he traded it). He says he’s open for further questions about the car but is unaffiliated and that Facebook post can be found HERE.
If there is an upside for petrol enthusiasts in these early stages of the EV era, it must certainly be what appears to be an ongoing trend of marque backed remastering and at times recreating of the classics. The idea of mega expensive, customer bespoke and meticulously built remasters brought about by the likes of Singer and their ilk nowadays isn’t lost on OEM manufactures. From Porsche Classic-built 993 Speedsters to classic Land Rover Discoveries and more, it’s a great time to be in the highly exclusive club of intelligent reuse and reimagining. Take for example the Bentley Blow Jnr.
The firm behind the Blower Jnr is Hedley Studios, though the creation of building an 85% scale recreation of the 1929 Bentley Blower has been done entirely in conjunction with Bentley. Unlike companies like Singer that use an existing homologated chassis and rebuild it, the Blower Jnr is technically a new creation.
Effectively, it’s an electrified and road legal car that captures the spirit of the original Blower Bentley that is itself nearly a century old. So yes, it’s a new thing, and it’s just completed 18 months of on-road testing in order to refine and prove the design. That completed, Bentley has signed off on production of the cars. The first deliveries are expected to begin this summer.
Further details can be found in the original press release and gallery below.

Blower Jnr completes sign-off and enters production
Hedley Studios’ scaled, road-legal recreation of the iconic Bentley Blower enters production
Sign-off follows extensive road-testing programme, culminating in 650-mile event on Channel Island of Jersey
40 mph island-wide speed limit and stunning scenery deliver perfect proving ground for Blower Jnr’s charm, drivability and character
First customer deliveries expected in late summer
(Crewe and Bicester, 29 May 2025) Following the completion of a joint sign-off event, Hedley Studios has begun production of its first road-legal, driveable piece of automotive artwork, the Bentley Blower Jnr.
Designed and developed in conjunction with Bentley Motors, Blower Jnr is an 85% scale recreation of the 1929 Bentley Blower. This electrified, road legal creation carries the spirit on the original, near-100-year-old legendary Bentley to a whole new generation, and the Blower Jnr has now completed 18 months of on-road testing to refine and prove the design.
The final sign-off took place on the coastal roads and historic lanes of Jersey – the largest of the Channel Islands and a place steeped in natural beauty. With narrow roads, an island-wide speed limit of 40 mph and a total area of just 45 miles, Jersey was the perfect place for a smaller-scale electric vehicle to complete its development journey, and one where Blower Jnr’s character and charm could be appreciated to the full.
Covering over 650 miles across three days, a select group of representatives from both Hedley Studios and Bentley Motors were joined by international media to evaluate the Bentley Blower Jnr’s full on-road driving potential, set against the stunning backdrops and vistas of the Jersey coastline.
The completion of these test drives marks an important step in the Bentley Blower Jnr’s development, as production of customer models gets underway. Utilising meticulous, hand-crafting techniques, Hedley Studios’ team of artisans will hand-beat the panels of the Bentley Blower Jnr’s bodywork, while expert engineers assemble the fully-electric 48-volt powertrain.
Only 349 examples of the Bentley Blower Jnr will go into production, with prospective owners able to customise their commission to their own individual style. Hedley Studios’ team work closely with each client to curate a Blower Jnr that is bespoke to their taste, from specific colour finishes to a choice of racing number.
This personalisation process is further enhanced through the use of the Hedley Studios configurator, in which clients can let their imagination run wild with almost limitless levels of personalisation at their fingertips. A range of curated style packs provide a baseline for Blower Jnr personalisation, making each example a truly unique piece of automotive artwork.
Ben Hedley, CEO and Founder of Hedley Studios, comments:
“Heading into production of the Bentley Blower Jnr marks a seminal moment for our brand, as we bring to life our very first road-legal piece of automotive art. Our team of engineers and craftspeople have worked tirelessly to design and craft the Bentley Blower Jnr, and in close collaboration with clients around the world, they have begun the design process of some wonderfully unique examples of the Bentley Blower Jnr. With only 349 examples of the Bentley Blower Jnr to be built, we’re very excited to embark on this production process and see these pieces of handcrafted art out on the roads. The sign-off process in Jersey was a wonderful sight to see, and navigating the picturesque and undulating roads of the coastline behind the wheel of the Bentley Blower Jnr would have been an enviable experience for those involved.”
We’re anticipating that the first customer deliveries will commence in just a matter of months, and we’re just as excited as our clients are to see them behind the wheel and out on the road.”
Mike Sayer, Head of Product Communications and the Bentley Heritage Collection for Bentley Motors, adds:
“From the moment that we first took the original 1929 Bentley Blower Team Car #2 to Hedley Studios, we knew this project was going to deliver something truly special. Years later, and with thousands of road miles under the wheels of the development prototypes – appropriately called EXPs as the first Bentleys were – we’re ready to put the car into production.”
Hedley Studios has reimagined a car that sits at the very heart of Bentley’s history and heritage, with extraordinary attention to detail and craftsmanship. The Blower Jnr may be smaller in scale, but its presence, performance and sense of occasion invoke the spirit of the original. We can’t wait to see these cars on the road soon, and look forward to taking delivery of the first car to join our Heritage Collection.”
The Bentley Blower Jnr
Blower Jnr is a collaboration between Hedley Studios and Bentley’s Heritage Collection. The original Team Car from 1929 – insured for £25m – was used by Hedley Studios to master the design of Blower Jnr, with details recreated at a sizeable 85 per cent scale. The result is a vehicle that will have even experts looking twice – with the car measuring 3.7 metres long and 1.5 metres wide. Unlike Hedley Studios’ other products, Blower Jnr is fully road legal and designed specifically to be used on the road and is perhaps the most sophisticated city car ever built.
Crafted by hand to the same standards as any Bentley, and adorned with beautiful details all inspired by the original Team car, Blower Jnr is built around a 48V electric powertrain with a 15 kW (20 bhp) motor, meaning a top speed of 45 mph / 72 km/h in the UK and EU (25 mph / 40 km/h in the USA due to legislation) and an expected range of around 65 miles, with tandem seating for two adults.
Beyond the headline figures, the beauty of Blower Jnr is in the recreation and repurposing of details from the original car. The frame is painted steel, to which an authentic chassis specification is attached. Leaf springs and scaled-down, period-correct friction dampers bring a comfortable ride, while Brembo disc brakes at the front and drums at the rear provide the stopping power. The electric motor is mounted across the rear axle, while the batteries and drive electronics are all housed in a hidden undertray.
The bodywork is crafted in two sections, and while the rear body structure is crafted in carbon fibre rather than being an ash frame, it’s covered in impregnated fabric, just as the original. The bonnet, with its multiple cooling louvres, is hand-crafted in aluminium using traditional techniques and fastened with beautiful leather buckled bonnet straps. The two-person cockpit is in a 1+1 layout, with a central adjustable driving position and the passenger travelling behind in the rear seat. An optional bespoke weekend bag fits behind, in the scaled down and repurposed fuel tank complete with lockable latch.
At the front of the car, the supercharger now houses the charging port that connects the onboard charger to any Type 1 or Type 2 socket, and is surrounded by the famous Bentley mesh grille, in an authentic nickel-plated radiator housing.
At first glance the dashboard looks like a scaled-down replica of the original, with Engine Turned Aluminium forming the dashboard itself. The fuel pressurisation hand pump has been repurposed as the drive mode selector, with a choice of Comfort, Bentley or Sport. Forward, Neutral and Reverse are selected via a lever that looks and feels like the ignition advance control from the original Blower. Other switchgear for the headlights and indicators copies the form and materiality of the magneto switches from the Team Car, while the battery charge gauge recreates the original ammeter.

McLaren is headed back to Le Mans, 30 years since the brand’s most recent victory at the fabled French endurance race. In as much, there’s plenty to celebrate and Woking plans to do that with this special edition 750S coupe.
On June 18, it will have been 30 years since drivers JJ Lehto, Yannick Dalmas and Masanori Sekiya stood on the top of the podium beneath the iconic Rolex race clock and celebrated their victory – the first appearance at Le Mans for McLaren, though it would be their only victory there since.
Acknowledging that 30-year anniversary will be just 50 examples of McLaren’s 750S. The design features a new MSO High Downforce Kit (HDK) that bestow the 750S with additional track-focused enhancements. Further additions include a roof scoop, unique 5-spoke LM wheel design harkening the wheels of the 1995 Le Mans-winning car plus further Le Mans branding.
Colors will be limited as well, though several will be offered. These include Le Mans Grey or McLaren Orange exterior. Inside, Carbon Black with Dove Grey or Carbon Black with McLaren Orange interiors are meant to complement or contrast.
McLaren plans a return to Le Mans, and is set to arrive in 2027 with a new LMDh prototype squarely aimed at that top step beneath the Rolex clock. Until then, 50 lucky McLaren owners can celebrate the plan in their very own 750S Le Mans special edition.
Further details can be found in the original press release and gallery below.

McLaren Automotive celebrates the 30th anniversary of its winning debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans – completing a unique Triple Crown* achievement – and McLaren’s return to the top class of the event from 2027. With just 50 cars being built, the 750S Le Mans is set to be one of the most sought-after McLaren series production supercars.
On June 18, 1995 McLaren F1 GTR #59 – driven by JJ Lehto, Yannick Dalmas and Masanori Sekiya – won the gruelling 24-hour race, joined by three more McLaren F1 GTRs in the top five placings. Just days before the 30th anniversary, two McLaren GT3 EVO cars – based on the 750S – will compete for LMGT3 honours at this year’s edition of the endurance classic.
The McLaren 750S Le Mans pays homage to the iconic #59 F1 GTR with matching Le Mans Grey exterior paint – with the option of McLaren Orange also available – roof scoop and 5-spoke LM wheels. It will also feature the new MSO High Downforce Kit (HDK), which adds visual drama to the 750S with a raised carbon fibre Active Rear Spoiler with integral endplates. In conjunction with a front bumper featuring an enlarged carbon fibre splitter and rear wing, downforce is increased by 10 per cent compared to the standard 750S, enhancing track performance and echoing the famous McLaren F1 LM edition’s aerodynamic additions. Completing the HDK package is a new body-coloured carbon fibre under-wing panel featuring gloss black louvres.
McLaren 750S Le Mans customers will also have a choice of Carbon Black with Dove Grey or Carbon Black with McLaren Orange interior colour combinations with Le Mans branding and a dedication plaque, with all cars featuring a portfolio of unique features as standard:

An optional track record plaque lists the 1995 Le Mans victory, with Triple Crown* achievements also featured alongside McLaren’s many significant motorsport successes. Mounted in the front luggage compartment, this option is available to purchasers of all new 750S cars.
Purchasers of the Le Mans edition cars will also benefit from the multi-award winning** benchmark-beating 750S performance delivered by the mid-mounted, 750PS M840T 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 McLaren engine. A motorsport-inspired carbon fibre Monocage II central structure and Proactive Chassis Control III suspension system help to ensure that the 750S is the lightest and most agile car in its class, now enhanced by the HDK aerodynamic additions.
“The 750S Le Mans marks not just 30 years since our debut victory in the iconic race but an exciting time for the brand with McLaren GT3 EVO cars competing in this year’s race and the announcement of our return to the top, Hypercar class in 2027.
This exclusive 750S is the first McLaren Le Mans edition since the F1 LM to feature HDK aerodynamic enhancements and is set to become one of our most sought-after supercars, with previous Le Mans editions of the 650S and 720S commanding a premium over standard models.”

What: 2016 Audi S8 Color: Goodwood Green (goodwoodgrünperleffekt; metallic UNI; Z6X; Audi) VIN: WAUJSAFD8GN009652 Mileage: 86,230 Price: $34,900 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: Jaguar Land Rover Solon, Solon, OH Listing:Link
A car like the Goodwood Green Audi S8 you see here makes a compelling case for a number of different reasons. For starters, it’s a nearly ten-year old S8 (D4 generation) stemming from a time before diesel gate, meaning cost cutting at Audi and its parent the Volkswagen Group hadn’t yet truly begun. For many, this makes it relatively pinnacle in that era of great cars coming from a large manufacturer managing historically renowned marques.
Also, at nearly 10 years old (and 86,230 miles), this car slots in at a relatively affordable price. If you’re looking for a budget-level entry into the tailored automotive market, we’d definitely advise cars like this S8 be considered.
Events like Air|Water bring a wave of vibrant colors from the Porsche community. When it’s thoughtfully curated, it feels like being a kid in a candy store. @PTSRS and Air|Water teamed up to present “Colors of Air|Water,” and we spent hours capturing content for our site. The rain didn’t stop us. It added mood and contrast, bringing each color to life in both overcast light and the bright California sun.
We continue the series with a standout solo feature: a 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring in Paint to Sample Oak Green Metallic. Everyone has their own definition of the perfect spec, but this one feels universally right. On her Bramo profile, Hannah shares, “Purchased in July 2024. My second 911, but my first GT3. Specifically bought this GT3 T for its stellar ownership history—low 6k mileage, perfect DME report, serviced and driven with care. PTS Oak Green Metallic. Understated and classy without the wing. My Porsche addiction started when I first drove my 991.2 7MT 911 Carrera T. I’m at my happiest while I’m behind the wheel of my 911s.”
Understated and classy without the wing? We couldn’t agree more.
Oak Green Metallic (oakgrünmetallic; metallic uni; 265 / 22L / 60K) is a classic Porsche shade rooted in the brand’s 1980s and 1990s catalog. Though offered as a standard color during that era, it remained relatively uncommon. Today, it returns through Porsche’s Paint to Sample program, preserving its distinctive character as an elegant green with prominent gold flake and a warmer tone than its modern counterpart, Oak Green Metallic Neo. Its rarity and vintage appeal have made it a favorite among enthusiasts aiming to evoke Porsche heritage with a timeless factory-correct look.
This E46 330Ci Convertible has already found a new home, but we wanted to bring back this older video from Shooting Brake for one standout reason: the color. Finished in BMW Individual Ruby Red Metallic (rubinrot; metallic; S03; BMW), this spec is a rare sight and suits the E46 perfectly. Paired with a two-tone black and red Nappa leather interior, it gives the whole build a bespoke feel. The BMW Individual door sill is one of those rare options we don’t see often, and it adds just the right detail to set this car apart. Rare, tasteful, and aging with grace. Scott gives a quick walkaround and drive, showing off just how timeless and sorted this build still feels today.
Color Check – Ruby Red Metallic (rubinrot; metallic; S03; BMW) Ruby Red Metallic is one of those low-production BMW Individual colors that rarely shows up, but when it does, it has our full attention. It’s since been modernized as Ruby Red II Pearl Effect Metallic, now available through the BMW Individual program. Always exciting to spot the original in the wild. It’s a rich, deep red, think cherry wine, with a fine metallic finish that comes alive in the sunlight.
