    Why We Love It:

    Here’s an interesting turn of events. We’re always interested in dealerships apparently selling a new tailored build apparently without any dealer markup as this appears to be. We’re even more fans of salespeople inside the store who are motivated to snap initial photography and get the word out to enthusiasts online. Such is the case with this 2025 RS 6 performance in Audi exclusive Ipanema Brown over Cognac Brown Leather.

    Though the link isn’t embeddable, Trevor Fehr from Audi Naples posted the car and basic details over on the Audi Club North America Classifieds Facebook Group HERE. Gold star to Trevor, who also named the color and the specs and options (Matte Carbon Package, Bang & Olufsen Advanced sound, Executive Package, Black Dinamica Headliner, Driver Assistance Package, RS Sport Exhaust), sharing photos and even a grab of the window sticker that proved essential to our finding the car for sale online at his dealership.

    Why was that essential? Well, over at the dealership’s site, photos aren’t up yet and it’s mislabeled in the description as Goodwood Green, which is a great Audi color but clearly not the same as Ipanema Brown and also quite a bit more common in Audi exclusive parlance.

    What’s so special about Ipanema Brown. It’s always been a very exclusive color at Audi, used over the years for auto show cars in exotic world gatherings like the Geneva and Paris motor shows. @Auditography once shot video of one, getting reposted on Motor1 under the headline “Audi RS 6 Avant with Ipanema Brown Paint is Peak Wagon”. We’d tend to agree.

    Back to this particular car, Trevor Fehr from Audi Naples shared in that post to the Audi Club Classified Facebook Page that the car is in inventory and won’t last long. Being so unique and not laden with annoying markup, we’d tend to agree with that assessment. If you are interested. Move quickly and reach out to Trevor when you call the dealership since he was kind enough to share it. Also, let him know you saw it on Tailored Driver.

  • Market Find: 2021 Audi exclusive Arrow Grey R8

    Why we love it:

    The Audi R8 has been heralded as an everyday supercar since inception, and having spent quite a bit of time living with both generations, we’d have to agree. Admittedly a bit flashier choice than say, a 911, this particular R8 is still what we consider a fairly understated spec. Finished in Audi exclusive Arrow Grey, which as we’ve noted is the same code (LZ7W) as Aviator Grey, and without the fixed rear spoiler featured on the V10 plus variant, it’s the build of a connoisseur. Add to it the contrasting Yellow stitched leather and its a compelling package for those who want to stand out in all the right ways.

    Why we love it:

    Our friend Sam Brandes from Audi Wilmington told us recently that he’s seeing a renaissance for the C7 RS 7 Sportback. According to Sam, he’s moved several over the last few weeks and he’s buying any good examples he can find for his dealership’s inventory in order to satiate this market desire. In the vein of C7 RS 7s then, we’re not sure there are many specs that are more desirable than an RS 7 performance painted Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue. Bonus points for low mileage and condition.

    In the case of this RS 7 that’s just entered inventory at Audi Naples, there’s a premium for the low mileage of 22,900. From our perspective, that’s either collector grade miles or it’s about as new as you’re going to find in this market should you be a Zuckerman and want to buy the ultimate vintage example then drive it because that’s what one does with great cars.

    Other notable equipment includes a sport exhaust from the factory by Akrapović. At the time, Audi had invested in the Slovenian manufacturer of titanium exhaust systems, and Akrapović was developing race exhausts for the RS 5 DTM and R18 e-tron quattro LMP1 Le Mans racer. The tie-in offered the ultimate credibility to the purveyor of ultimate titanium exhausts. In period, Audi did offer S6 and S7 exhausts from the dealer and built to Audi spec, though the exhaust on this car is believed to be an Akrapović exhaust sold via their own Akrapović retailers.

    If you’re seeking the ultimate specification C7 RS 7, we’re not sure you can do better than this one. Yes, you’ll find them cheaper, but we doubt you’ll find one this nice.
