One of the first ‘Exclusive’ versions of the new Audi R8 Spyder has now found a home at Audi Forum Neckarsulm. This special car is finished in ‘Arablau Matt’, which is Audi talk for matte blue, and it features a black soft top as well as Titanschwarz or gloss black exterior pack as well as carbon detailing.

Now, all of these good things are optional extras commissioned to Audi’s Exclusive department. You won’t find any of this stuff speccing up your Audi R8 Spyder at your local showroom, which is why this car is that bit more special. That is also why most people tend to just buy a ready-made Exclusive Audi, even if it’s not entirely to their taste, rather than wait in line for a bespoke one.

The Arablau Matt Audi R8 Spyder we have here looks really cool in its matte blue paint and all the carbon and black garnish on the outside, including the 20-inch gloss black 10-Y-spoke design rims which hide carbon ceramic brake discs behind them. Also contributing to this car’s beauty is a pair of clear-coated carbon fiber side blades on either side and a pretty unique, tri-tone interior.

The cabin of this Audi R8 Spyder Exclusive is adorned with fine nappa leather seats with “Rautensteppung” design pattern in Alabaster White for the seats and the lower half, and black for the rest, both complemented with arablau stitching. The car also boasts arablau decorative trims on the dashboard as well as regular carbon fiber trims and a multifunction steering wheel and Audi’s virtual cockpit system with navigation.
