We all love to see out in the wild. There’s something tantalizing about them — you can make out the , but all those little details are hidden away from your prying eyes. The imagination runs wild, trying to conjure images of what might be beneath .

Of course, companies have capitalized on this. , meant to tell viewers — even if we can’t quite make out how the vehicle looks. So it’s only natural that an automaker would try to take this one step further: Selling production cars decked out in camouflage. Audi, with its RS e-tron GT “project_513/2,” is doing just that.

The name refers to the RS e-tron GT’s original, internal development code. The number “ defines the product’s segment, generation, and body style,” according to Audi, which I presume is why the fraction hasn’t been reduced to a proper project_256.5. The name pops up in the infotainment screen, on the windows, and even embossed into the leather interior.

The project_513/2 also gets a unique set of wheels to complement the black-and-gray livery, but the rest of the non-cosmetic options are pulled from the car’s parts bin: Ceramic brakes, rear-wheel steering, carbon accents, and front seats that are both ventilated and massaging.

If you’re aiming to be one of the 75 lucky buyers of the project_513/2, double-check your bank balance before you start writing checks. The car will retail for $179,900, before fees for destination, paint, and your usual tax and title. Though, Audi knows the current market — the company outright states that “Dealer sets actual price.” Though, if you’re spending $180,000 on an Audi, do you really care about a few grand in markups?

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?
Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...
