One of a kind, Viper Green Audi RS4 comes up for sale

According to Robert De Niro's character in Meet the Parents, "they say geniuses pick green." If that adage holds true, we imagine only a mad genius would choose a Viper Green Audi RS4 (a shade from Porsche's palette). A mad genius, in the absolute best sense of the words. Of course, we're no strangers to green Audis. Most recently we featured Jack Baruth's one-off Porsche green S5. Hell, we even devoted an entire post to the envious hue last St. Patrick's day. But we have never, ever, witnessed a green Audi quite as cool as this one. And for good reason I guess, since this is the only Viper Green B7 Audi RS4 in existence. Now, due to the owner's impending relocation to Germany, this rarity can be yours.

After reading the original listing on Teamspeed, we immediately contacted the RS4's owner, Derik, for more background on the car. Luckily for us, Derik is our kind of guy; a long time Audi owner, with great taste in four-ringed rides. In his own words, here's how Derik came to own this RS4.

"After being a long time Audi fan and owner of various coupes and 5000 quattro models, we decided to go to Chicago on our search for an RS4. Upon our arrival to The Audi Exchange, we found a multitude of color choices at the time. Red, white, black, orange, and Viper Green. The said model was sitting on the showroom floor. We were told by the salesman that the car was owned by the owner of the dealership (who also owns The Porsche Exchange). It seems he has ordered the car from the factory in Viper Green (exclusive) because he was also ordering a Viper Green GT3RS Porsche for his daughter. The car had 50 miles on it, so it had had hardly been driven. The reason for him selling the car is that he was frustrated that Audi would not honor his request of installing green piping on the seats. We were quick to purchase the car since it was quite unique."

Quite unique indeed. We can't believe that Audi would deny matching the seat's piping in green. In fact, green piping would have been an extra special touch. However, had it not been for this frustration, Derik would have never found his dream car. And now, Derik's move to Germany will hopefully open a door to someone else's dream. Located for sale in Illinois, the rest of the car's details can be found in the original listing as follows:
