While they are not as famous as BMW frozen paints or Mercedes' designo line, the finishes created by Audi Exclusive are among the most interesting in the industry.
An Audi Exclusive paint finish consists of four layers, which when combined are not even as thick as a piece of human hair. You can pretty much order any color imaginable, including ones you'd normally associate with cars from Lamborghini or Porsche.

As you order a brand new RS6 Avant and hope to blitz every highway to the sound of your twin-turbo V8, you can also order Sunny Yellow, Wine Red, or this magnificent Riviera Blue.

This pre-facelift RS6 was recently shared by Audi Middle East's Facebook page. However, judging from the houses in the background, we'd wager the photo is actually German.

We dug a little deeper and found that in January 2013, Audi Forum Neckarsulm celebrated its first 5,000 Facebook fans with photos of an identical Riviera Blue RS6 and we think that's where this model is located, not in the Middle East.

Regardless of its location, the super-wagon has been decked out with a number of cool touches, including silver painted front blade and side air intakes. Inside, leather covers most of the dash in black and, for the lower part of the doors, light cream.

Riviera Blue is a car usually associated with the Porsche 911 GT3, though it has been seen on a few other Audis in the past, including the RS4 and the TT-RS. In May this year, Porsche Exclusive also used the same color to put together a special Boxster S, built to special order with a unique interior.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
