1.) The extra cost above the standard metallics?
2.) The choices offered; i.e. if you wanted British Racing green, would that have been available to you?
3.) The additional time a non standard paint added to delivery time

Hi Rick: here's answers...

1) There are two different price points for special order paint colors; $2500 for any pre-exisiting color from the VW/Audi model lines, and $6000 for any Audi Exclusive color or custom match-to-sample orders. In my case, Shiraz Red is currently offered on the A1 and A5 models in Europe, so it cost $2500.

2) In Europe, the A7 is available in Tiefgrün (Deep Green) Pearl Effect; it looks pretty close to a British Racing Green. Audi has also offered a color called Goodwood Green which is similar. The cost on either should be $2500.

3) I was told that the special order color would add about 6 weeks to the timeline. In my case, it ended up being an extra month. Other AW members have reported longer waits due to supply chain issues, most notably following the earthquake/tsunami in Japan.

That is a really beautiful color on the A7. I'd like to see more shots of the exterior and the interior with the oak trim.

I appreciate your responses, as I'm in the market for an A7 and wanted a different look for this very unique design. I think the extra cost is worth having that very special color. It almost looks iridesent.

More pictures please. Could have you have ordered nougat interior with it?

Default Thanks for the comments; I'll get a few more pics posted this weekend.

As for interior colors, I believe you could option it with any of the available colors, Nougat included.

I typically only go for White/Black/Silver... But that color combo works well.
