    Market Find: Audi exclusive Goodwood Green RS 7

    Some variation of “I’d take the fast one, in some shade of green” is a common utterance around our office, so to say this fits the bill would be an understatement. Offered currently on Bring a Trailer, this 2016 Audi RS 7 was Tailored in Audi exclusive Goodwood Green (goodwoodgrün; pearl effect UNI; Z6X; Audi), a color which Audi has tried their best to make ‘stick’ with limited take-rate in each instance. We’ll blame the dealers, because to us it’s damn near perfect.

    In fact, the pairing of Audi exclusive Goodwood Green over Silver Valcona leather with the slightly deviated Rock Grey stitching is so striking, it seems the owner enjoyed looking at it more than they enjoyed using it. Just 16,000 miles has been covered since this RS 7 was delivered in 2016, which is a real shame.

    Your chance to right this wrong is just days away however, as this Audi exclusive Goodwood Green RS 7 will go to a new owner when the Bring a Trailer auction closes later this week. Follow the auction live, here.

  • RS Q8 performance in Java Green by Audi exclusive Deutschland

    RS Q8 performance in Java Green by Audi exclusive Deutschland

    Audi Deutschland on Facebook is always good for seeing the latest models in special paint and trim. With the brand forum in Neckarsulm, Audi exclusive is a particular focus for this account. Case in point is this Java Green Metallic (Y6W) RS Q8 performance shared this week.

    Inside, the interior is fitted in Jet Grey with Iguana Green stitching that ties the interior to the exterior hue. Note too those green seatbelts.

  • Market Find: Audi exclusive Firmament Blue A6 allroad

    Market Find: Audi exclusive Firmament Blue A6 allroad

    There’s something about a primary-ish blue Audi Avant that just seems right. You can thank the original Audi RS2 for starting that theme… or at least sending it into icon status, but every medium blue Avant since definitely hits this note in some capacity. And while the car you see here isn’t a rare 1 of 25 Audi RS 6 RS Tribute Edition, it is a C8 long roof in a color you’d be forgiven for mistaking as Nogaro Blue.

    It’s not Nogaro Blue though, and how we know this deserves calling out. Yes, this blue is unlike any of the conservative and forgettable factory A6 allroad colors, so we already knew it’s an Audi exclusive build. Such cars are easy enough to find on classified sites, but knowing whether it’s any number of medium blues depending on lighting for the photography can be a real challenge. Even Audi dealers, more often than not, don’t include the name of the Audi exclusive color in an online listing. So, when a Ford dealership in Tennessee lists it, we don’t exactly have high hopes. Or, more accurately, when Ford of Franklin confirms the color in the listing, Firmament Blue to be exact, it’s worth calling out and offering a golf clap.

    The car in question (VIN# WAU92BF23MN037703) is also a nice spec beyond just the color. It’s a 2021 Prestige package car (Audi’s Best on the Good, Better, Best scale), and includes full body paint over the fender flares for a sportier appearance. This fresh trade has also covered 26,909 miles. Listed at $55,382 it’s roughly half the price of the equivalent RS 6, getting you a fair degree of the big body Audi long roof experience at a fraction of the RS 6 price.

  • Audi exclusive Velvet Violet Pearl RS 7 Sportback performance

    Audi exclusive Velvet Violet Pearl RS 7 Sportback performance

    The headquarters of Audi’s in-house tailor Audi exclusive is effectively the Audi Forum Neckarsulm. On the second floor of the brand’s customer welcome center at their second largest corporate manufacturing facility is a showroom featuring some seriously creative builds. As a result, these sorts of cars tend to be highlighted by Audi Deutschland’s Facebook presence, cars like this RS 7 Sportback performance painted in Velvet Violet Pearl Effect (samtviolettperleffekt; pearl effect UNI; 092 QB7; Audi).

    Also known as “Velvet Purple” this hue is a popular choice amongst those seeking Audi exclusive paint in order to make their car a little more unique. That it’s on Audi exclusive’s main palette also means it’s more affordable than say painting the car the same purple hue as your yacht or alma mater.

    In this case, the car in question also has some unique interior details. These include an individually specced combination of black and diamond silver leather and stitching.

  • Market Find: Audi exclusive Goodwood Green S4 Avant

    Market Find: Audi exclusive Goodwood Green S4 Avant

    An Audi exclusive 2004 Audi S4 Avant is a rare find. You see the exclusive program from Audi wasn’t as popular in the early 2000s as it is today. So finding a custom build from that era is truly exclusive. Here we have a Goodwood Green Pearl Effect (goodwoodgrün; pearl effect UNI; Z6X; Audi) over “Panda” two-tone interior B6 S4 Avant from Lafayette, IN. The car has about 144,000 miles and the seller states: “The timing chains were done around 130k by the previous owner. Mechanically in good condition runs and drives with no issue, cosmetically could use some love like any 20-year-old car. Originally a West Coast car, no rust, mostly just rock chips, and no bubbling or peeling paint.

    The only modification is lowered on lowering springs and B7 S4 wheels, also done by the previous owner. Selling it because this is my second wagon and I just don’t drive it enough and don’t have the time to make it return to its original glory.”

    In the original post, the seller also attached a video of a cold start to showcase there is no chain rattle and the engine has a clean bill of health. Below are more photos and the original post can be found on Facebook Marketplace.

    With typical Audi performance thanks to quattro all-wheel drive, a five-cylinder engine, and sensational appearance, the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO conquered the racetracks of North America at the end of the 1980s. Today, the victorious vehicle inspires the new top model of another icon from Audi’s portfolio: the Audi RS 6 Avant GT2. New photos show the special model, limited to 660 cars, against the backdrop of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and the unmistakable nature of the surrounding landscape.

    As the second-largest car market in the world, the USA is an important growth market for Audi. The company wants to strengthen its brand in North America and sees the region as one of three pillars worldwide. Ten new market launches will follow by 2026 as part of this strategy. Now in its fourth generation, the Audi RS 6 Avant3 enjoys cult status in the USA.

    The following picture gallery offers a selection of new images of the Audi RS 6 Avant GT2 in Nardo Grey and Arkona White, together with the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO.

  • Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 Years

    Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 Years

    • A tribute to the RS4* Sport: Anniversary edition with exclusive design
    • Greater power output: V6 biturbo with 346 kW (470 PS) for the Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1 and the Audi RS 5Sportback performance edition2
    • Limited edition: Only 250 units per model available in Europe

    To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the RS 4, Audi is launching a special model, the Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1. As the performance flagship of the A4 series, the model boasts impressive driving dynamics. With exclusive interior and exterior details and the iconic Imola Yellow color, it is reminiscent of the Audi RS4* Sport. The Audi RS 5 Sportback performance edition2 is also receiving a 15 kW (20 PS) power upgrade. Both models are limited to 250 units each.

    In the 1990s, Audi established the idea of the sporty wagon with the Audi Avant RS2 and Audi S6 plus. However, the first RS model from quattro GmbH (now Audi Sport GmbH) was the 1999 B5-generation RS4* Avant. Compared to the Audi S4, it broke onto the scene with a widened body and a 2.7-liter biturbo six-cylinder engine developed in collaboration with Cosworth, which at the time had an impressive output of 280 kW (380 PS). The sportiest version of the first RS 4‑generation hit the market in 2001 with the RS4* Sport. Its features included an even lower suspension, bucket seats, sport exhaust, and a suede steering wheel. The RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1 echoes the memorable design of this vehicle and is itself the sportiest version of the current B9 series.

    Engine: 15 kW (20 PS) output increase

    Advances in the engine, suspension, and wheels deliver impressive performance. The V6 biturbo in the new RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1 has an output of 346 kW (470 PS) and a maximum torque of 600 Nm. That is an increase of 15 kW (20 PS) compared to the RS 4 Avant3

    The pinnacle of the series accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds, 0.4 seconds faster than the Audi RS 4 Avant3. The vehicle has a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph) and the standard RS ceramic brake system handles negative acceleration. The RS sport exhaust system plus with tailpipes in matte black generates an intense sound pattern.

    Suspension: Sharpened for optimal dynamics

    The Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1 comes standard with the RS sport suspension pro, a manually adjustable coilover suspension that ensures a perfect combination of dynamics and comfort. This gives the anniversary model a 10-millimeter lower ride height than the RS 4 Avant3. Furthermore, customers can manually lower the ride height by an additional 10 millimeters for an overall ride height that is 20 millimeters lower than the series model. The vehicle also comes with the quattro sport differential, which ensures greater agility and more rearward bias for increased driving fun, especially in “dynamic” driving mode. The updated software in the transmission control unit makes for faster shifting times and a noticeably increased spread between the various driving modes.

    Exclusively for the Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1, the negative camber on the front axle was increased to two degrees and stiffer control arms were installed. This results in improved grip and better handling for faster cornering speeds. A firmly fixed subframe on the rear axle provides more precise suspension feedback and better overall performance. This is further enhanced by the improved Torsen differential.

    Rims and tires: Top performance for all kinds of use

    To put all that power on the road, the RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1 comes standard with the Pirelli P Zero Corsa high-performance tires designed for the road and the racetrack. The tires are mounted on machined 20” alloy wheels in Palladium matte. The forged wheels known from the RS 4 Avant3 outfitted with the competition package, are weight-optimized and have been visually enhanced by intensive milling. In addition, they have a modified offset from ET 22 to ET 18 to underline the sportiness.

    Customers also receive a kit composed of a second set of wheels, the Pirelli sensorized P Zero Trofeo RS semi-slick tires and Pirelli Track Adrenaline system from their Audi partner. The tires are specifically designed for the racetrack and come on exclusive 20” alloy wheels in black matt.

    Due to their specific rubber compound and asymmetrical tread, the Pirelli sensorized P Zero Trofeo RS performance tires offer exceptional grip in dry conditions, thus increasing stability and lateral grip. The exclusive Track Adrenaline system features sophisticated sensors in the tires providing the driver with real-time information about tire pressure and temperature, a high-performance control unit and a dedicated phone app, supporting Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Through Pirelli Track Adrenaline, the customer will experience real-time information and recommended actions for optimal tire management on the racetrack.

    One more highlight: In addition to the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS semi-slick tires and the Pirelli Track Adrenaline System, customers also receive a pair of gloves for use on the racetrack. Made by Alpinestars, they were specially designed for the special edition and, like it, feature yellow accents.

    Design: A tribute to the RS 4* Sport (B5)

    To commemorate the color of the RS4* Sport, today’s edition model also comes in Imola Yellow. Nardo Grey and Mythos Black are also available as exterior colors.

    A wide range of exclusive design features make the edition model truly special. For example, the trims on the side windows come in glossy black. For the first time, the edition features a black inlay in the rear lights. The Audi rings and lettering also come in gloss black, and the 
    Matrix LED headlights feature darkened bezels specific to the RS family. The roof rails have been removed to give the vehicle a flatter, sportier silhouette. 

    Standard equipment includes tinted sun protection glazing for the rear door and side windows. A unique highlight: “RS 4 edition 25 years” lettering is engraved in the windows between the C- and D-pillars. The appearance package Carbon matte was designed exclusively for this edition. It features front blades, side flaps, and sill extensions, as well as the diffuser clip and the wing mirror housings in Carbon matte. 

    The interior, with its yellow decorative stitching, is reminiscent of the black/yellow leather Alcantara combination from the 2001 RS4* Sport. For the first time, the floor mats have an RS 4 logo, and the traditionally red Audi Sport rhombus and black RS lettering are now also yellow in the edition model. The steering wheel rim, the leather armrests on the doors, the center console in dark black Alcantara, and the gear gaiter all feature stitching in the same color. The RS bucket seats with honeycomb stitching and the carbon backrest come with an impressive deep black leather/Dinamica combination with contrasting yellow stitching. Directly below the headrest is RS 4 lettering in the same color. The logos on the entry sills and the RS projection from the entrance LEDs are white. 

    Matte lettering on the center console indicates each individual car’s sequential number, from 1 to 250. Customers who purchase an RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1 can select a white background for the tachometer and speedometer via the MMI – a tribute to the 1994 Audi Avant RS2, where the analog dials initially came in white. Launch Control, which fully exploits the acceleration potential of the RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1, signals the ideal moment to accelerate off the line with its traffic light icons.

    Exclusive chronograph: Edition to edition

    Concurrently with the launch of the Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1, Audi collection is introducing the Chronograph RS 4 Avant edition 25 years. The watch mirrors numerous details from the vehicle. For example, it has a carbon dial and yellow details, such as the RS 4 logo, the central stopwatch second hand, and the contrast stitching in the leather strap. Like the special model, the chronograph is also limited to 250 units.

    Most powerful Audi RS 5: performance edition2 with 346 kW (470 PS)

    The RS 5 is also receiving a power upgrade: The V6 biturbo in the new Audi RS 5 Sportback performance edition2 has an output of 346 kW (470 PS) and a maximum torque of 600 Nm. That is an increase of 15 kW (20 PS) compared with the RS 5Sportback4. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds, which is an improvement of 0.2 seconds compared to the RS 5 Sportback4. Its top speed is 300 km/h (186 mph). The Audi RS 5 Sportback performance edition2 also comes standard with the RS sport suspension pro with dynamic steering and an improved Torsen differential.

    Production, market launch, and pricing

    Produced in cooperation with Audi exclusive, the RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1 rolls off the line in Ingolstadt alongside the A4, S4, and RS 4. This integration of the limited special edition into regular production emphasizes the flexibility of the production site. 

    The Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1 and the Audi RS 5 Sportback performance edition2 are available to order starting June 2024. The Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years1 starts at 142,905 euros; the Audi RS 5 Sportback performance edition2 starts at 128,420 euros.

    * For the first RS 4 model in the B5 series (1999 to 2001), “RS4” was written without a space. This changed with the RS 6 in the C5 series in 2002.

    Audi TT Roadster Final edition Celebrates Legacy of Original Audi Design Icon

    • TT Roadster Final edition features unique design details, including a gray convertible top, carbon fiber inlays, 20-inch wheels, and S line exterior
    • Available only as Roadster and painted in Audi exclusive Goodwood Green pearl effect with Palomino Brown leather interior
    • Limited to 50 units and only for the United States

    [source: Audi of America]

    RESTON, VA – Today, Audi of America celebrates three generations of iconic design with the 2023 Audi TT Roadster Final edition. Finished in an Audi exclusive shade of green – Goodwood Green pearl effect (goodwoodgrün; pearl effect UNI; Z6X; Audi), the TT Roadster Final edition includes unique elements including a modern interpretation of the original TT’s baseball stitch seats. Only 50 units are available for the U.S. market.

    TT Final edition celebrates the original Audi design icon
    The TT Final edition features unique design elements that celebrate the heritage of the Audi TT and embody the model’s reputation for transcendent design.

    The TT Final edition presents an exclusive list of equipment not available on other Roadster models, including:

    • Audi exclusive Goodwood Green pearl effect
    • Audi exclusive Palomino Brown stitching
    • Audi exclusive floor mats
    • Audi magnetic ride
    • Extended leather package in seat color
    • Gray convertible top
    • 20×9-inch 10-Y-spoke design forged wheels
    • Carbon fiber inlays
    • S line exterior

    Unique design elements
    The TT Final edition is available only as a Roadster and comes finished in Audi exclusive Goodwood Green pearl effect paint, which was offered as a series production color for the first generation TT Roadster. Platinum gray matte exterior bumper trim and side trim elements are integrated with the S line exterior, which is offered for the first time on the third generation TT Roadster, and comes equipped without S line badging for increased exclusivity. Complementing the gray accents of the S line exterior is a gray convertible top. The gray color soft-top was only previously used on the 2019 TT Roadster 20thAnniversary edition, and features an electrohydraulic drive system that can raise and lower the roof in just 10 seconds while the vehicle is driving at speeds of up to 31 mph.

    Inside, the TT Final edition is finished in Palomino Brown leather, which nods to the first generation’s iconic baseball stitch leather. When paired with the Audi exclusive Goodwood Green exterior, it creates a timeless combination and is a tribute to the first generation TT Roadster. Furthermore, the TT Final edition comes standard with an extended leather package, which finishes the door armrests and center console in the same Palomino Brown leather and stitching, as well as black leather covering the airbag cap and instrument cluster hood. Audi exclusive Palomino Brown stitching was added to the steering wheel and gear selector boot, and the floor mats are trimmed with Palomino Brown leather piping and stitching to complete the look of the interior.

    The TT Roadster’s S sport seats are also equipped with neck-level heating to keep you warm on chilly days with the top down and include built-in seatbelt microphones for optimizing Bluetooth and voice recognition operation. Finally, Carbon fiber inlays adorn the interior surfaces, underlining the sporty character of the TT Roadster Final edition.

    Legendary TT performance
    The TT Roadster Final edition comes standard with 20×9-inch 10-Y-spoke design forged wheels, wrapped with 255/30 R20 92Y XL summer tires, borrowed from the sporty TTS. Also taking a cue from the TTS is the Audi magnetic ride suspension system, which adapts the damping forces depending on the driving situation for increased driving dynamics, as well as provides a lower center of gravity with its 10mm reduction in ride height compared to the standard suspension.

    The TT Roadster features a 2.0-liter four cylinder turbocharged engine with 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque that comes mated to a 7-speed S tronic dual clutch transmission and quattro all-wheel drive. The TT Roadster can sprint from 0-60 mph in as little as 5.5 seconds.

    It is all in the name
    The model name “TT” is reminiscent of the legendary Tourist Trophy on the Isle of Man – one of the oldest motorsports events in the world where Auto Union brands, NSU and DKW, celebrated great successes with their motorcycles. NSU would later use the TT nomenclature to commemorate the brand’s historic race championship on its sporty small car – the TT Prinz.

    In 1998, Audi debuted its TT Coupe to the world – and followed with a Roadster model just one year later. The Bauhaus inspired design challenged conventional ideas of Audi design, while the Audi TT’s name itself was a deliberate departure from the brand’s usual nomenclature to underscore the novelty of the model line.

    A fond farewell
    Over the years, the TT model line often served as the technology leader for the brand, launching several iconic design and technology firsts including – the electronically deployable rear spoiler, Audi virtual cockpit, and the first Audi with available OLED taillights.

    The Audi TT closes production after the 2023 model, ending a chapter of iconic design for the brand with four rings.

    On sale now
    The Audi TT Roadster Final edition is on sale now for the U.S. market with an MSRP of $67,800 plus $1,095 destination charge.

  • Prototype-Inspired Audi RS e-tron GT project_513/2 Limited Edition

    Prototype-Inspired Audi RS e-tron GT project_513/2 Limited Edition

    • Audi’s first camouflage graphics–skinned vehicle from the factory with original RS e-tron GT prototype design
    • Unique interior and exterior e-tron camouflage design elements complete the package
    • Limited to 75 units and only available in the U.S.

    [source: Audi of America]

    HERNDON, VA – Today, Audi of America announced a limited offering of just 75 units of the 2023 Audi RS e-tron GT project_513/2. Developed in collaboration between Audi of America and Audi exclusive, customers now have the opportunity to drive a version of the e-tron GT that most closely resembles the prototype car. This limited edition leverages the original design used for global prototype testing with “e-tron” camouflage script on both the exterior and interior, and is exclusive to the U.S. market.

    Exterior design 
    The RS e-tron GT project_513/2 is the first Audi to offer a camouflage graphics-skinned and wrapped exterior from the factory. Camouflage graphics are often used by Audi for initial testing, and are designed to create confusion for onlookers that may be looking to capture the latest glimpse into automotive exterior design and technology before it is made public.

    The exclusivity of the project is underlined by leveraging the internal code name as a special edition.

    The project_513/2 represents the project naming convention which defines the product’s segment, generation, and body style. This naming is crafted early in the development process and is typically kept internal.

    Audi exclusive leveraged the red and black color theme from the original prototype test mules, and presents for the first time “red” Audi rings on the front and rear of the exterior. Unique 21-inch aero wheels finished in black are framed with both front and rear ceramic brakes painted in red. Furthermore, the rear quarter glass is etched with the “project_513/2” logo that underlines its exclusivity.

    Interior Design 
    The interior is inspired by its exterior colors and design elements using red and black colored accents as well as Audi exclusive interior elements unique to the edition. The air vents have been painted in the exact red color used for the exterior Audi rings, while red also appears on other details such as the steering wheel, floor mats, and the Fine Nappa leather honeycomb stitched seats.

    The dashboard introduces an Audi design first – Carbon fiber inlays with camo graphics that mimic the exterior design. These graphics include an innovative “partial matting” patented process, which is just a few thousandths of a millimeter deep, all primarily created by hand. The overall process includes the first component to be masked with a special foil, followed by glass media material that is pulled over the component using a suction jet method creating a distinctive, consistent look.

    For the first time on an Audi, the center armrest leather is embossed with the name of a special edition with “project_513/2”. In addition, the RS e-tron GT project_513/2 introduces an innovative e-tron background on the standard 10.1” MMI infotainment screen that includes an exclusive “project_513/2” logo in the bottom corner.

    Additionally, the RS e-tron GT project_513/2 presents an extensive list of standard equipment:

    • Fine Nappa leather seats with honeycomb stitching
    • 18-way front sport seat with ventilation and massage
    • Ceramic brakes with red caliper
    • Rear wheel steering
    • Power steering plus
    • Audi exclusive interior
    • 21“ 5-double-spoke concave design wheels in black finish
    • Dinamica headliner
    • HD Matrix-design LED headlights with Audi laser light
    • Carbon fiber roof
    • Carbon fiber exterior door inlays
    • Carbon fiber mirror caps
    • Illuminated Carbon fiber door sills inlays with RS logo

    Pure performance
    The Audi RS e-tron GT project_513/2 leverages the thrilling performance of the RS e-tron GT – Audi’s fastest 0-60 mph accelerating production model. Performance comes from two different motors (one on the front axle, and one on the rear axle) producing a combined 637 horsepower – making acceleration to 60 mph possible in just 3.1 seconds.

    Enhancing performance and precision handling at all speeds, the project_513/2 comes with standard rear wheel steering. This unique system allows the rear wheels to turn up to 2.8 degrees in the opposite direction of the front wheels at speeds up to about 30 mph for a tighter turning radius, while above 30 mph they turn in the same direction for greater stability and dynamics.

    Already have an e-tron GT? Audi has you covered
    Last year, Audi of America introduced the e-tron GT camouflage Indoor car cover for sale at audi-collection.com. The Indoor car cover holds the same camouflage wrap available on the RS e-tron GT project_513/2 made from a breathable and anti-static material, tailored specifically to fit your e-tron GT. The e-tron GT camouflage cover features black and white “e-tron” nomenclature underlined with elements of red and black color just like the limited edition model. For those customers that may not be fortunate enough to get one of the 75 limited edition units, the car cover will make anyone’s e-tron GT or RS e-tron GT look like they have the prototype in their garage.

    You can find out more information about the Audi e-tron GT Indoor Cover by visiting the following link from the Audi collection website: Audi e-tron GT Indoor Car Cover

    To further celebrate the exclusivity of each individual project_513/2, customers will receive a never before offered special edition VIN art. The VIN art portraits are printed on a thin aluminum plate with a high-gloss surface and are derived from the Vehicle Identification Number – exhibiting a detailed art print expression of the customer’s vehicle in high-resolution for display.

    The 2023 Audi RS e-tron GT project_513/2 is slated to be on sale this spring.

When driving during cold, snowy, or icy weather conditions, ensure that your vehicle is equipped with appropriate all-season or winter weather tires. Tires are supplied and warranted by their manufacturer.

    Drift mode is only to be used on racetracks or closed courses by drivers who are trained, skilled, and experienced in drifting. Drifting can result in accidents and serious injuries or death.  See Owner’s Manual for further details, and important limitations.
