Our friends at Northwest Auto Salon have created another masterpice, they have satin wrapped the Audi Cycling Team‘s Audi Q7 TDI. When I took delivery of our very own Project Q7 TDI back in September, my good friend Mike who runs the Audi Cycling Team called me almost immediately to get my feedback on the car. Little did I know that he would go ahead an order the exact same vehicle, fully loaded, and the same beautiful Orca Black paint! After he received his car 2 weeks ago I absolutely insisted that he take his car up to Northwest Auto Salon who I think is the very best detailing shop in the Northwest, if not the country. He took me up on my advice and not only did he get a detail, beat me to getting a satin wrap done (which we have planned for our Q7!). I’m a bit jealous to be honest, but am very happy for Mike and look forward to driving around town in our Q7s together! I must say he has great taste!

We’ve seen a lot of crazy and highly customized Audis in our time, but this super stretched Q7 takes things to a whole new length! Spotted in the small Greek coastal town of Nafpaktos, Johnny Walker has commissioned this Red Q7 as it’s flagship (emphasis on ship) marketing mobile. We just hope that it has the 500 HP V12 engine otherwise we are not sure but I’m guessing it probably isn’t too much fun to drive. We don’t know much about the Q7 but it is unique enough that we thought we’d share. Click the link below to see some more pictures.
