Default What color is this B8 A4?

Is it Quartz Gray, or a Euro-only color not available in the U.S. (unless special ordered)?

Looks like it. S-Line &amp; 19" SP wheels are the same, according to order guide.

Default Finally some pics!! That's Monza Silver. For the US B8 A4 it's an S-Line only color.

Glad you found some pictures of it. I've been looking but usually only find it on the RS6.

Default Are you 100% sure that's Monza Silver?

I couldn't find any pics online of Audi's in Monza silver. And someone across the pond votes for "Liquid Blue Metallic."

Can you post a couple photos of Monza Silver Audi's for comparison?

Default I vote Quartz Grey. But if you want to compare for yourself...

Take a look at a UK brochure. It has a swatch (of sorts). Colour repro may be too dodgy to be sure though...<ul><li><a href="http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/new_cars/Pricing_and_Specifications.html">http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/new_cars/Pricing_and_Specifications.html</a</li></ul>

Default Wow, Monza looks really dark in the brochure (questionable match accuracy?)

It's darker than the grays.

Default Never 100%, but the RS6 doesn't come in Quartz or Ice at all...

...so for comparison any silver photos of an RS6 are Monza by default.

Other than the UK brochure posted above if you compare Monza to Quartz on the UK configurator Quartz looks a touch darker.

The photo doesn't look blue enough to be liquid blue, but I've never seen liquid blue color before. Also note the top two pictures where it looks more blue it's sitting outside under a bright blue sky.


Quick Reply: What color is this B8 A4?
