Though it’s certainly close in specification to the car we featured back in January at Audi Frederick in Maryland, these cars are not the same. That one was new, and this one is just barely used. This one also has grey brake calipers, Alcantara on the steering wheel and shift knob, and what looks like perhaps an aftermarket matte carbon fiber rear upper spoiler.
It’s a handsome spec. Audi exclusive Cumulus Blue won’t sear your eyes out like some in-your-face colors, but it’s very light robin’s egg style blue is highly unique and draws attention just the same. Paired with Audi’s Valcona Leather and blue stitching with blue-flecked carbon fiber, the car is incredibly tasteful.

You’ve gotta love the Peanut Butter and Jelly spec on a great car. Combine with the peanut buttery smoothness of Cognac leather with grape-like Audi’s Velvet Purple and you have an incredible car for fans of purple specifications.
This RS 6 is also a performance, with matte black finish on its Y-spoke alloys, Executive Package, Driver Assistance Package, Interior Protection Package, RS Sprot exhaust, Night Vision Assistant and Ceramic Brakes with Red Calipers.

We’re always fans of dealer sales staff getting notice out to enthusiasts ahead of cars coming available via the usual dealership methods like pushing to the dealer website, AutoTrader or the like. In this case, it’s Audi Birmingham’s David Guerzon posting early pre-PDI shots of an Audi exclusive RS 6 performance in Nogaro Blue.
Other options confirmed by Guerzon are Matte Carbon Package, Executive Package, Driver Assistance Package, RS Sport Exhaust and Red Brake Calipers. He also shares in that post that the car will be sold for sticker without dealer markup.
If you reach out to Audi of Birmingham, ask for David Guerzon and thank him for posting it early for the rest of us.
As mentioned yesterday, Germany’s Scherer Sport dealership has a building full of Audi RS 6 Avants. According to a recent Facebook post, they claim to have over 40 RS 6 Avants available at a promotional price. Amongst them is this very striking color combination.
On the outside is Riviera Blue (rivierablau; non-metallic Uni; LP3G; Audi). Inside, this specification continues to strike a bold pose with light Diamond Silver Leather paired with Alaska Blue contrast stitching.
The last time Scherer Sport ran this sort of promotion, headlining with a gaggle of Audi R8s, it coincided with the end of production of Audi’s mid-engine supercar. We know the launch of the A6 replacement is imminent (Mach 4 via ooooIYKYK.com). Given the proximity of that reveal, it’s quite possible the RS 6 Avant is nearing its production end.
Get them while they’re hot. The C9 Audi RS 6 is expected to be a hybrid, which means added weight. Though the RS 6 Avant is no clubsport lightweight, we’re told the M5 Touring is over 400 lbs heavier.
Since the Audi showroom operated by Scherer Sport is in Germany and not in the USA, we’re not running this as a market find. Nevertheless, this Frankfurt-area Audi dealer appears to have a showroom full of new RS 6 Avants that is worth paying attention to as posted on their Facebook Page.
At the front of that lineup, quite literally, is this example in Oak Green Pearl Effect (oakgrünperleffekt; metallic uni; Q82; Audi). Not to be confused with Porsche’s Oak Green Metallic that we’ve also seen painted on Audi exclusive commissions, the Audi take on Oak Green tends to be a little less dark and a little more gold.
Scherer doesn’t confirm interior details on this car, though it appears to be a tailored Audi exclusive specification on the inside. It’s primarily black, though features accents including bolster panels in Cognac. This is a guess though, so those particularly interested in the interior specification should reach out to Scherer directly HERE.

Why We Love It:
Factory matte paint is always something special. More expensive than your usual paint to sample shades, it demands a certain premium up front and can prove a bit more work to maintain. Nevertheless, it almost always looks spectacular, emphasizing character lines and creases in the body that often get overlooked when coated with highly reflective gloss surfaces.
More often than not, we tend to see matte finishes on neutral shades – grey, black, white. It’s rarer to see them in colors like green, and also more of a rare find from Audi exclusive unlike brands such as BMW or Mercedes that have coined mattes with brand-specific terminology such as “frozen” or “magno”. Whatever. In a world where rarer is more interesting, a matte color on an Audi exclusive build is most interesting indeed.
That’s where this RS 6 performance comes in. We run our own internal check and see (as confirmed by the Monroney or window sticker) that it’s a matte paint. What we can’t see is final confirmation on the color, though a careful perusal of the photos makes us think it is Audi’s Sonoma Green that was pretty common on the early B9 RS 5, though never offered outside of exclusive for the RS 6.
No doubt this is a handsome car, and the specification continues with factory options including Matte Carbon Package, Bang & Olufsen Advanced Audio with 3D Sound, RS Design package plus (Grey), Executive Package, Driver Assistance Package, RS Sport exhaust, Red brake Calipers and Interior Protection Kit.
Checking out the CarFax, this wagon appears to have been sold new and serviced at Audi West Palm Beach.

The Audi RS 6 performance is already a compelling case, though a rare Audi exclusive color sends it over the edge. In the case of this new car inventory RS 6 from Audi Frederick in Maryland, that color is Cumulus Blue.
What’s Cumulus Blue? It’s one of those virtually white colors that we’d hesitate to call pastel only because a ubiquitous Carolina Blue (looking at you college sports team fans) or Hyundai N’s Performance Blue are both notably darker and more saturated in comparison. So, Cumulus Blue is so subtle that you’d be forgiven for mistaking it as white. Park it next to a white car though, and that’s where it becomes obvious. Cumulus Blue is like nothing else really on the road, making ownership of a car in this color an exercise at eliciting comments from people who are paying attention.
Near as we can tell, Cumulus Blue has never been a standard order book color on any Audi, though it’s’ been in the Audi exclusive color catalogue for years. This makes it known in Audi circles, but also exceptionally rare. That’s all a win in our book.
Beyond the paint paired with black interior, this particular RS 6 also has some nice options. This includes Matte Carbon Package, Executive Package and Driver Assistance Package.

Given the recent exchange rates, buying cars in Canada using the American dollar can be a great way to get a deal or reach beyond your budget for the right car. Also, given the typical willingness to travel an aficionado of tailored cars will be willing to travel for the right car, traveling to Canada for a special build and going through the importation process isn’t something to fret about much. Now, throw on the fact that Canada gets some options Americans don’t and that’s icing on the cake. It is with this in mind that we share with you this very low mileage RS 6 performance that’s popped up at a Chevy dealer in Alberta.
For starters, no matter what market this car is in, it’s an exceptionally tasteful specification. Audi exclusive paint, listed as Oak Green by the dealer, is a definite bonus. Worth noting, this isn’t Audi Oak Green Metallic but rather Porsche Oak Green Metallic (oakgrünmetallic; metallic uni; 265 / 22L / 60K; Porsche). In fact, it looks awfully close to a car we featured photos of a few months back HERE.
Beyond the paint, there’s a lot more to like about this car. This Albertan Ford dealer is exceptionally detailed in their listing, so here’s what we can share about the car. Based on the listing, it’s got: Audi Exclusive Oak Green Metallic Paint, Cognac w/ grey Stitching, Valcona Leather, Dynamic Package, Carbon Matte Optics Package, Matte Neodym 22 5 Y Spoke Wheels, Bang and Olufsen Advanced 3D Sound System, Leather Package, Black Dinamica Headliner, Night Vision Assistant.
Beyond that, they also list some aftermarket add-ons. These include: AWE Tuning SwitchPath Cat-back Exhaust, CETE Lowering Module, H&R 10mm/12mm Wheels Spacers, Full Body PPF by Posh Detailing, Window Tint 35% and 70% by Posh Detailing, Exoshield Front Windshield by Posh Detailing, Kamiglaze Ceramic Coating by Posh Detailing. We also see Audi Accessories roof bars and rubber mats in the photos.
So let’s get back to the Canadian spec of this car. First, it’s got the aforementioned Neobdym wheel finish, which is a slightly gold/platinum color. While offered as a stand alone option in Europe and likely in Canada too, Audi of America blocked this wheel finish after fitting them exclusively on the RS 6 performance Bronze Edition and RS 7 performance Bronze Edition. Unless you got one of those cars or imported the wheels yourself, Americans can’t get them. In our eyes, that makes this car even more desirable.
Now let’s get back to price. In more recent months, the Canadian dollar has fallen in value compared to the U.S. dollar. Other than a drop recently to about .60 cents on the U.S. dollar, it’s been tracking mainly at .70 cents to the U.S. dollar. Apply that conversion to this car’s listed price and you get an exceptionally good deal for any RS 6 performance, let alone one Audi exclusive paint, very low mileage, American unobtainium wheels, and a host of other useful equipment including PPF and ceramic coating.
Are there any caveats? Based on what we know, and we defer to experts on this, the car is certified for the North American market, so the warranty should transfer to the U.S. based on a chat with contacts who are more familiar with the process than us. There may be a process, and we’re not familiar with it so we’d suggest figuring that part out before buying if having a warranty in place is important to you. Also, even though it’s certified for North America, there is a basic importation process from Canada to the U.S.A. that may have associated costs. There’s also basic duties to consider and, beyond that, the tariff landscape that could change things depending out American politics play out. You’ll want to dig more into all of these if you’re considering this car and you’re American. Clearly, if you’re Canadian, then have at it as we assume that’s not much harder than finding the money.
Honestly, we debated not even sharing this one so we might inquire about buying it ourselves. Check it out via the link above.

Why We Love It:
Here’s an interesting turn of events. We’re always interested in dealerships apparently selling a new tailored build apparently without any dealer markup as this appears to be. We’re even more fans of salespeople inside the store who are motivated to snap initial photography and get the word out to enthusiasts online. Such is the case with this 2025 RS 6 performance in Audi exclusive Ipanema Brown over Cognac Brown Leather.
Though the link isn’t embeddable, Trevor Fehr from Audi Naples posted the car and basic details over on the Audi Club North America Classifieds Facebook Group HERE. Gold star to Trevor, who also named the color and the specs and options (Matte Carbon Package, Bang & Olufsen Advanced sound, Executive Package, Black Dinamica Headliner, Driver Assistance Package, RS Sport Exhaust), sharing photos and even a grab of the window sticker that proved essential to our finding the car for sale online at his dealership.
Why was that essential? Well, over at the dealership’s site, photos aren’t up yet and it’s mislabeled in the description as Goodwood Green, which is a great Audi color but clearly not the same as Ipanema Brown and also quite a bit more common in Audi exclusive parlance.
What’s so special about Ipanema Brown. It’s always been a very exclusive color at Audi, used over the years for auto show cars in exotic world gatherings like the Geneva and Paris motor shows. @Auditography once shot video of one, getting reposted on Motor1 under the headline “Audi RS 6 Avant with Ipanema Brown Paint is Peak Wagon”. We’d tend to agree.
Back to this particular car, Trevor Fehr from Audi Naples shared in that post to the Audi Club Classified Facebook Page that the car is in inventory and won’t last long. Being so unique and not laden with annoying markup, we’d tend to agree with that assessment. If you are interested. Move quickly and reach out to Trevor when you call the dealership since he was kind enough to share it. Also, let him know you saw it on Tailored Driver.
What: 2024 Audi RS 6 performance Color: Audi exclusive Suzuka Grey Pearl(suzukagrau, pearl effect UNI; LY7F / M1 ; Audi) VIN: WUA1DBF28RN904811 Mileage: 5,018 miles Price at Time of this Writing: $133,700 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: Benson Ford, Easley, SC Dealer listing:Link
Why we love it:
Unless you look closely, Suzuka Grey is virtually white. It’s also slightly on the cool side of the grey spectrum, as is Glacier White Metallic from the standard palette of the RS 6 Avant. So, when a 5K mile RS 6 Avant pops up at a Ford dealership, you’d forgive them for mislabeling the car. We found this car auto-listed (probably due to vIN) as Audi exclusive paint on a major listing site, and followed it through to the dealer site to find more information. While there, we found its listings where it’s mislableled as Glacier White while also listing its VIN. Since we suspected it was Suzuka Grey, we ran the VING and found it confirmed it is indeed Suzuka Grey.
As Audi exclusive colors go, Suzuka is a subtle one. Rather than an eye-searing attention getter, it’s more of an if-you-know-you-know shade that dates back to the B7 RS 4 Avant. Since that time, it’s been present in other RS models like the B8 RS 5 and Mk2 TT RS.
From the looks of it, the dealer is pricing it like pretty competitively for its age and mileage of RS 6 performance, making it an excellent if-you-know-you-know opportunity for buyers. If you’re interested, go see it in person as these photos are low-resolution and not great.
