Any Nardo Grey's out there?

**MerlinS3** · 08-10-2014 01:41 PM

Hey Guys,
so im pulling the trigger and ordering a b8.5 S4 this week and am thinking going nardo grey on it. Wish i could find a full list/color chart of audis exclusive colors to see what else would be nice.

but back to the point, I was wondering if anyone on the forums has a nardo grey S4? if so... please post pictures.

Ive seen it on some RS5's and RS7's and for some reason the color looks darker sometimes and almost a white color at times.. is it depending on lighting or just sometimes the paints a little darker?

Nardo doesn't get near white IMO (suzuka goes between grey/white), but it definitely changes depending on light.

Light:

Nardo is a great looking color! Thinking about painting my WB B5 this, but cant decide between it and Grigio Telesto.

I think Grigio Telesto looks nearly the same under light, but with a bit more blue and it's darker in the shade than nardo.

I'd seen that rs5 before but the nardo seemed really dark on that car! In my mind I picture nardo as the rs7 lol. Glad to know it changes with lighting from darker to lighter.
Now I just want to see it on a B8! Either way I'll be ordering it in nardo

**b8audis4** · 08-10-2014 02:10 PM

Looks amazing!

**LINDW4LL** · 08-10-2014 02:11 PM

I don't think there are any photos of B8s with it. Here is an RS7 where it looks darker.

**isles1** · 08-10-2014 02:21 PM

About two weeks ago I saw an RS7 in Daytona Gray Matte parked at my gym. Now THAT is a color!

**BlueByU** · 08-10-2014 02:41 PM

Nardo Gray is my favorite color! Good choice! Must get black optics pkg too.

**chrisbryan89** · 08-10-2014 03:07 PM

I think the s4 will look sick in nardo/blacked out.

I'm going for the black optics and nardo with silver alcantara/black leather and the aluminum inlayed wood

**Jango3434** · 08-10-2014 03:20 PM

Can't wait to see the nardo on your S4! It's such a gorgeous color but make sure to do something with the clappers such a nice touch!

**riseabv** · 08-10-2014 04:22 PM

Do it! Nardo is beautiful and something you'll never regret.

**chrisbryan89** · 08-10-2014 04:24 PM

The Eurotech RS7 is amazing in person. Love nardo, even if it is a funky sounding word.

**tgsweat** · 08-10-2014 06:31 PM

Link didn't work for me

**paulo6** · 08-10-2014 07:21 PM

Per auto-trader add this is called Aviator Grey ....
U need to copy the whole link. The last line is not hyperlinked that's why it's not working ...

These colors are a bitch for someone color blind like me!

**MrFunk** · 08-10-2014 07:33 PM

Amazing Color!

**VADERS4** · 08-10-2014 07:44 PM

I had a chance to purchase a 2014 RS7 in Nardo Grey that was a buy back with 500 miles on it (guy bought an R8 convertible) for $128,000....I made a mistake letting that one go!!! I just love the size of my S4!! The RS7 is ungodly fast, but it is a big boat!!! A fast boat...but a boat none the less!!!

There are a surprisingly large amountof racing/motorsport-inspired colors from Audi. A few more on top of your list, there may be more but these are the ones I remembered or quickly found...

Daytona, Misano Red, Monza Silver, Mugello Blue, Goodwood Green, Nogaro Blue (Nogaro is the location of a track), Dakar Beige

Thank you! Someone else who agrees with me. I also had the chance to buy one, except this one had 1k miles on it. After driving it, though, it just was way too big and way too boaty. It was stupidly fast though....actually took my breath away lol

+1... and that rear end - UGGG... terrible fail. I'd get an S8 before an RS7 any day if I was in the market for a large fast Auto Trans Audi.

**Pilfer** · 08-11-2014 08:46 AM

S8 because Ronin

**catch** · 08-11-2014 10:49 AM

order it! post up pics! I'm a huge Nardo Grey fan

**SLYCAT** · 08-11-2014 10:56 AM

Doo eet.

**The.Wizard** · 08-11-2014 11:20 AM

Errmm..no disrespect to anyone but personally the colour doesn't float my boat, it's too much like a primer with clear coat.
When you're paying so much money for an exclusive paint surely there's a more interesting colour to choose.

Teh sex! Wow! So nice!

Now I need a smoke, and a nap.

**Jimminez@Nemesis** · 08-11-2014 12:13 PM

I say do it, but you won't be able to leave it stock IMO. I don't think you will, but I feel like Nardo is one of those that lends itself to modifications.

Agreed, they shouldn't even offer it without the black optics package

Definitely a color to do a blackout on
