I never saw a red one in real life [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] , it's probably not that popular in belgium.

I don't know. All I know, and I could be wrong, is that there were 485 UK cars. [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

My guess is the rarest color of all standard colors is Goodwood Green (ie excluding special paints from Quattro).

Don't think I saw one for real (was there one in Hockenheim out of the 50-60 RS4 ??).
And -as some may know- i've been tracking the second-hand market in FR for 3 months : I saw the first one in an ad last week, at the cheapest price ever of all RS4s.

On www.mobile.de -probably the largest online database of RS4 for sale-, here's the ranking for 89 RS4s:

- Goodwood Green : 3 (3.5%)
- Imola Yellow : 5 (5.5%)
- Nogaro Blue : 8 (9.0%)
- Misano Red : 14 (15.5%)
- Brilliant Black : 26 (29.5%)
- Avus Silver : 33 (37.0%)
Price range : EUR 36,500 to 89,450 (for B&B tuned one)
- Kilometer range : 5,600km to 123,000km

Spooky that you should say the Goodwood Green RS4's are the rarest. I think this also, as I've only ever seen one, in videos or in real life. Thankfully, it was in real life, and it lives just down the road from the University of Bath where I am currently studying! Anyone that's local or knows the area, it's halfway up Bathwick Hill from the town, near the youth hostel. It's beautiful.

First RS4 I ever drove was a goodwood green one, made me want one but wanted a stealth colour so opted not to take the green beast
Can't beat a bit of boost!

However, Simon (DP at Amersham Audi) is running a green RS4.
