Verdant Green is a color Audi borrowed from Bentley, the ultra luxurious British marque that’s a sibling to Audi in the Volkswagen Group. And while the hue looks natural on something Anglo and stately like a Continental GT, we’d also argue it looks the business on an RS 7.
This one is up for private party sale on AutoTrader. It does sport some modifications (those black wheels in the photos are clearly not factory), and the owner also sounds pretty specific about imperfections it has collected in its first 46,100 miles.

When a new Tailored Driver gains our attention, we find it impossible to not at least briefly try to put ourselves in the shoes of the original owner. Through that lens this RS 7 finished in Audi exclusive Vegas Yellow is an incredibly interesting proposition when you take a moment to review the CarFax. Ordered in Greenwich and seeming splitting its time between fancy Connecticut and Santa Barbara, the prior owner surely lives a life of luxury. But neither of these places exactly scream “Vegas Yellow” RS 7 to us. It’s got us wondering- was this owned by the trust funder in their Robert Graham button down causing a ruckus? Or was it simply a hedge funder with a sense of humor? Either way, this Tailored Driver presents a great opportunity in the secondhand market for someone looking to enter the fold.
Perhaps take from the dealer-doesn’t-know-what-they-have department is this 2018 Audi exclusive RS 7. Why do we say this? Well, for starters the description (Panther Black Crystal Effect, and Black with Mercato Blue Interior) don’t seem to match the photos. Admittedly, the photos are low resolution, so it’s a shame we can’t see the original high-res files.
We ran the VIN and the car is checking in as Teak Brown, which matches the color seen in the photos. That all makes sense. There are no Audi exclusive badges on the door panels, hinting that whatever the interior is, it was a standard offering in period. So, you have a nicely-built RS 7 in a relatively rare Audi exclusive color. Now, throw in the relatively low miles of 53,816 and the price at $58,900 that KBB rates as a “Great Price” and we’d say it’s a great buy.

It (almost) never fails. Tailored Driverfinds something, tells you how rare or uncommon it is, and within days, another one surfaces. Egg’s on our faces, right? With this one- not so much. A first-generation RS 7 with the Performance package and incredibly sought-after Akrapovic Titanium exhaust that was a factory option, this example is perhaps an even more interesting proposition than the last. It carried an original sticker of reportedly $160k, features deviated stitching in Blue throughout it’s cabin, and somewhere along the way, suffered what CarFax denotes as “Moderate” damage. That’s to say that while the selling dealer will not disclose their price, massive depreciation is to be expected, although an “I know what I’ve got” number is likely to be expected as well.

Believe it or not, Audi exclusive currently offers no less than 8 different matte effect color options– Florett and Dew Silver, Daytona and Nardo Grey, Ascari Blue, Sonoma and District Green, and the Glacier White you see here. Seeing as the prospect is perhaps more tempting than the reality, we can understand why these 8 are rarely come to our attention in market, so when one finally does it makes the listing all the more noteworthy. Frequent Tailored Driver fliers Audi San Diego have one such offering, this Glacier White Matte Effect Audi RS 7 sportback. Under the California sun Glacier dances with a subtle cyan glow, even if the clearcoat is opaque. We think it’s a sharp package, and can’t imagine it will last long.
Even though the car you see here is for sale, we’re foregoing running it as a Market Find given it’s being sold via Scherer Sport’s dealership in Germany and our finds are tailored for North American buyers. Nevertheless, there’s a lot to love about this ABT RS 7 Legacy Edition.
Let’s start with the paint. Though it’s been a factory color for cars such as the TT RS and RS 3 sedan, you’d need to place an Audi exclusive order to get Kyalami Green (kyalamigrün; non-metallic Uni; LZ6A; Audi) on an RS 7.
Next, the car is built to ABT Sportsline’s Legacy Edition specification, upgrading a whole host of components while adding the very distinctive body kit.
Though most of the cars ABT Sportsline builds are current-generation Audi offerings, we still count them as a remaster. Rather than simply selling upgrades and components, which they also do, ABT builds series cars to set packages like the Legacy Edition and then finalizes those with client determined details of the specification.

We are always, and I mean always, fans of dealer salespeople getting the jump on tailored builds by posting them to enthusiasts on social media. We’ve seen it happen all the time, an enthusiast at the dealership knows what they have, grabs their own photos (see them in this story) and shares them online (see it on Audi Club North America’s Classifieds Facebook Group HERE) as Danny Alves just did.
The car in question is a very tasteful spec, 2025 Audi RS 7 Sportback performance with Audi exclusive Goodwood Green Pearl Effect paint. Inside, it’s also got Iguana Green interior stitching to round out the look. Other options include Matte Carbon Package, Executive Package and Driver Assistance Package. We’re going to give bonus points to whomever built it for going with more subtle black brake calipers over red that bestow just a bit too much of a yuletide vibe on a Goodwood Green Audi.
Thanks again to Danny Alves for sharing it with his own photos before the dealership has them live on their site. If you call Audi Freehold to inquire, check in with him since he was kind enough to share these photos. Email him at dalves@audifreehold.com or call him at 732 347 5371.

We’ve always loved the ‘LEGO’ nature of Volkswagen Group vehicles, which has allowed for some wildly inventive and impactful OEM+ upgrades on platform share vehicles over the years. With a catalog of hits as deep as theirs, it can also extend to colors as well, which is exactly what we’re presenting in this Tailored Driver. Lamborghini’s Balloon White is used as a subtle differentiator on this RS 7, further bolstered by a vibrant Audi exclusive red (exact shade undetermined) extended leather found within. Tasteful modifications are featured throughout, making this Tailored Driver the ultimate expression of the very concept this site was founded on.

When it rains, it pours. Just a few days ago, we featured a different Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue RS 7, and here we have another. Albeit not a Performance model like our prior post, this RS 7 packs plenty of performance courtesy of the deep aftermarket support that brands like Audi benefit from. All told, this RS 7 is said to have about 800 horsepower, which is certainly more than enough to do just about anything- legal or not. Other highlights include HRE Wheels, an H&R lowering module, software from APR, and full paint protection film. So whether it’s this particular RS 7 or the stock example featured previously, a Tailored RS 7 in Nogaro has never been more attainable.

Our friend Sam Brandes from Audi Wilmington told us recently that he’s seeing a renaissance for the C7 RS 7 Sportback. According to Sam, he’s moved several over the last few weeks and he’s buying any good examples he can find for his dealership’s inventory in order to satiate this market desire. In the vein of C7 RS 7s then, we’re not sure there are many specs that are more desirable than an RS 7 performance painted Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue. Bonus points for low mileage and condition.
In the case of this RS 7 that’s just entered inventory at Audi Naples, there’s a premium for the low mileage of 22,900. From our perspective, that’s either collector grade miles or it’s about as new as you’re going to find in this market should you be a Zuckerman and want to buy the ultimate vintage example then drive it because that’s what one does with great cars.
Other notable equipment includes a sport exhaust from the factory by Akrapović. At the time, Audi had invested in the Slovenian manufacturer of titanium exhaust systems, and Akrapović was developing race exhausts for the RS 5 DTM and R18 e-tron quattro LMP1 Le Mans racer. The tie-in offered the ultimate credibility to the purveyor of ultimate titanium exhausts. In period, Audi did offer S6 and S7 exhausts from the dealer and built to Audi spec, though the exhaust on this car is believed to be an Akrapović exhaust sold via their own Akrapović retailers.
If you’re seeking the ultimate specification C7 RS 7, we’re not sure you can do better than this one. Yes, you’ll find them cheaper, but we doubt you’ll find one this nice.
