    It’s been 17 long years since Tony Stark drove an R8 in the first Iron Man, a defining moment that put Audi’s then-new R8 on the map. In fact, the R8 was somewhat of a media darling in the product placement sphere, spear-heading a massive push that will be studied in future Marketing and Advertising classes if it isn’t already. So it comes without shock that in-period buyers wanted to opt for something a bit more exclusive for their own R8. Highlights here are Audi’s Night Blue Metallic paint, and the ever-so-subtle R8 V10 side blades in Carbon Fiber. What does come with a shock though, is the price. Early V8 powered R8 models have suffered the wrath of depreciation, now trading for as much as a fully loaded Audi S3. When we’re this close to what we think could be the floor, now may be the time to add a Tailored R8 to your own fleet.

    Why we love it:

    We’re big fans of the road less traveled here, that’s not exactly a secret. This Tailored Driver is exactly that- finished in Porsche’s Midnight Blue Metallic (rare), with 1992’s 911 C2 Cab Rest-of-World only Turbo Look body optioned (more rare) Leather to Sample in an unknown light blue (incredibly rare). Per the listing this Tailored Driver is one of just 1,532 C2s optioned with the factory widebody, and has spent the entirety of it’s life in Germany. Being a 1992 model year example, importation to the US should be a breeze using a reputable vendor like Orchid Euro.
