    It’s been our experience that Audi TT owners are simply a different type of enthusiast. While it may be dismissed by the uninformed as a less-than, there simply is not a more dedicated, more committed, and more frankly nerdy bunch of fans out there. Sure 911s have a similar group behind them, but that car benefits from a cool factor that’s nearly ubiquitous. TT enthusiasm requires a quiet confidence, and an ability to regularly answer questions that with a 911 no one bothers to ask.

    So it makes sense then, that this Tailored Driver also goes above and beyond with a dedication that only the most astute Tailor would posses. Incredibly uncommon on US soil, Racing Blue Mica was chosen here, likely as a result of it’s popularity in Europe- something a real fan of the four rings would pick up on. But it’s the Audi exclusive Ocean Blue partial leather that really gets us going. Plucked from the original TT and briefly featured in special edition TTs, this interior becomes an incredibly special place, further elevated by matching door card inserts, the steering wheel’s center stripe, and stitching.

    The seller claims this is a one-of-one, and we don’t doubt that for a moment. Shame, really.

  • Market Find: 2023 Audi exclusive Suzuka Grey R8 V10 performance with Ocean Blue Leather

    Market Find: 2023 Audi exclusive Suzuka Grey R8 V10 performance with Ocean Blue Leather

    Why we love it:

    Generally speaking, life is cyclical and the world of Tailored Driver is no different. Like seasons, Tailored colors on the secondhand market seem to cluster and we’ll spot incredibly rare or interesting specs in twos and threes. Case in point is this Tailored Driver, a 2023 R8 V0 spyder in Audi exclusive Suzuka Grey Pearl Effect paired with exclusive Ocean Blue extended leather. Both of these options are having a moment- this being the second Ocean Blue exclusive interior we’ve seen in a week, as well as the second exclusive application of Suzuka found in the same time. Making this more compelling though, is that this Tailored Driver is a last of it’s kind as R8 production has ceased. What a fitting sendoff.

  • Market Find: 2022 Audi RS Q8 with Audi exclusive Ocean Blue Leather

    Market Find: 2022 Audi RS Q8 with Audi exclusive Ocean Blue Leather

    What: 2022 Audi RS Q8
    Color: Audi Glacier White (Gletscherweiß; pearl effect; LS9R/2Y; Audi)
    VIN: WU1ARBF19ND010955
    Mileage: 17,606 miles
    Price: $99,900

    Why we love it:

    Sure, we love a good exterior but as they say- it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Audi’s Glacier White paint is augmented by the frankly stunning Audi exclusive Ocean Blue leather interior on this Tailored Driver, resulting in a fairly stealth OEM build if not for the copper Avant Garde wheels. Aftermarket carbon fiber bits are found throughout the exterior which certainly enhance the sportiness of this RS Q8, but frankly we’d be tempted to put it back stock. In our opinion, letting the Glacier White and Ocean Blue combo stand on its own is more than enough to stand out.
