Audi seems to be getting a lot of attention lately. We recently showed you one artist’s take on a floating Audi, the Hydron study, and now someone else has chosen to interpret a hot rod Audi.

Similar in concept to Volvo’s T6 Roadster, the Audi Gentleman’s Racer is an old-school rodder with foreign ancestry.

Found for sale on eBay is this flamboyantly unique Audi S5 Coupe featuring a killer color combination that makes it stand out like a lime in a bowl of lemons. And this ain’t no vinyl wrap; the “Porsche Lime Green” exterior finish was a special factory order that cost the owner $2,500. Open the door and you’ll see why most manufacturers don’t allow customers to combine certain exterior shades with certain interior colors even if they are available. More photos after the break.
