Default THANKGIVING SPECIAL (not really)

Happy Thanksgiving Audi Fam! While decompressing by means of online search engine this morning I came across the one! The (possibly) ONLY! GOODWOOD GREEN Twenty SIXTEEN (I know it rymes)LOL. Goodwood? To describe a color? That is interesting. Here ya go! I just hope no one gets hurt fighting over who will buy it first.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodwood_Festival_of_Speed.

Goodwood is a famous annual British event. Name of the colour likely comes from there.

This one confuses me. I actually like the color - just not ideal for a sedan. Rest assured this is a one of a kind.

The color is almost as bad as the MTM S8. There are some attractive shades of green IMO. This is like an evergreen, I wouldn't want to drive a christmas tree. If I bought it I would wrap it asap. The interior is normal. The only difference between the plus and ever other D4 S8 I thought was 25 horsepower. What's the big deal with a plus?

Nothing after you tune it 😁

I believe it is more like an 85 hp gain - at least as Audi presents it, but you may be referring to what some have proven on the dyno (Audi purportedly sandbagged the hp rating on pre-Plus S8s).

Nonetheless, you bring up a good point. It’s already listed at a discount and I bet you can knock off another $5k and use that to tune and wrap. You still walk into a S8 for less. One would need to be prepared to have trouble selling it down the road.

Still a fascinating color choice. Maybe a true Eagles fan/player?
