    Market Find: Audi RS 5 Sportback in Solar Orange

    Also known as Glut Orange, Solar Orange is a long-running Audi exclusive mainstay that captures the primary orange vibe. According to the dealer who currently has it for sale in Ohio, it’s one of two that we’re guessing refers to RS 5 Sportbacks sent to the USA in the 2022 model year though they aren’t entirely specific on that.

    Specific or not, what we know is that Solar Orange looks great on an Audi RS car.

  • Market Find: Audi exclusive Kemora Grey RS 5 sportback

    Market Find: Audi exclusive Kemora Grey RS 5 sportback

    What: 2019 Audi RS 5 sportback
    Color: Audi exclusive Kemora Grey Metallic (metallic-UNI; LX7F; Audi)
    VIN:  WUACWCF51KA904939
    Mileage: 69,872 miles
    Price: $40,991

    Window Sticker: N/A
    Location: Carrolton, TX
    Listing: Texas Hot Rides

    There’s no use in sugar-coating it- this RS 5 sportback has been hit. Twice. But with a cost of entry that reflects- just $40k- does this represent good Tailored Driver value for money? To us, yeah, totally. Audi’s RS 5 might not be the fire starter that BMW’s M3 is, but its still no slouch. Couple that value and performance with the cult favorite that is Audi exclusive Kemora Grey, and we see a real winner here.

  • Market Find: “1 of 1” Citrus Yellow Audi RS 5 in Jacksonville

    Market Find: “1 of 1” Citrus Yellow Audi RS 5 in Jacksonville

    What: 2022 Audi RS 5 Sportback
    Color: Citrus Yellow (zitronengelb; non-metallic UNI; LY1G; Audi)
    VIN: WUAAWDF55NA900944
    Mileage: 24,832
    Price: $73,995
    CarFax: N/A
    Window Sticker: See Listing Link
    Location: Audi Jacksonville, Jacksonville, FL
    Listing: Link

    The dealer listing for this car suggests the car is one of one. While we’ve not been able to confirm that claim, we do know that Citrus Yellow is not as common in Audi exclusive parlance as say a Vegas Yellow or an Imola Yellow.

    From photos, the color appears to be more on the buttery side, not quite as gold as Vegas, or even more venturing toward orange as Imola. That said, the exterior shots of this car make it seem far less intense as it does in the door jams on the interior shots. If you’re curious, this is one we’d recommend seeing in person. Check it out at Audi Jacksonville.

  • Market Find: 2022 Audi exclusive Suzuka Grey RS 5 sportback

    Market Find: 2022 Audi exclusive Suzuka Grey RS 5 sportback

    What: 2022 Audi RS 5 sportback
    Color: Audi exclusive Suzuka Grey Pearl Effect (suzukagrau; pearl effect; LY7F / M1 ; Audi)
    VIN: WUAAWCF5XNA901159
    Mileage: 22,421 miles

    Why we love it:

    Within the Tailored Driver spectrum, it’s difficult to get more subtle than Audi’s Suzuka Grey. Pearl off-white in the right light and simply basic white in others, the color blends into the parking lot masses more than you’d expect. In fact, it’s so subtle that it’s nearly impossible to accurately capture in photos, making it somewhat of a hard sell when time comes to spend $3,500 on Tailored paint through Audi exclusive. Fortunately for the original Tailor of this RS 5 sportback, California has the right lighting conditions about two-thirds of the year, making the selection quite an astute one.

  • Market Find: 2019 Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue RS 5 Sportback

    Market Find: 2019 Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue RS 5 Sportback

    What: 2019 Audi RS 5 Sportback
    Color: Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue (nogaroblau; pearl effect UNI; Z5M; Audi)
    VIN: WUABWCF56KA903510
    Mileage: 60,902
    Price: $52,999

    Location: Kent, Washington
    Dealer listing: Unique Motors Seattle

    Why we love it:
    Audi’s B9 generation RS 5 is pretty tough to beat- good power, great size, and featuring a modernized interpretation of box flares. This Tailored Driver is finished in Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue (LZ5M) over Black leather with Rock Grey stitching, alu-optic exterior trim, and was optioned with the dynamic package which raises the speed limiter and adds Carbon Ceramic brakes. For a quite reasonable $52,999, this West Coast two-owner example would be an impactful addition to your Tailored fleet.
