    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.

    Audi exclusive Racing Blue Mica is one of the more rare hues on the Tailored Driver spectrum, likely due to its similarity to several other hues- most notably Navarra Blue, which was an optional factory color for that year. Perhaps not wanting to pay the cost for such subtlety, prospective Tailors have missed out as Racing is both a deep and vibrant blue, reminiscent of BMW’s San Marino Blue. This incredibly uncommon shade on the secondhand market comes at a reasonable cost, as this low mile RS 5 with no accidents reported is available for just $54k- very much in line with standard colored examples.
