You might not be familiar with the 1996 Golf Harlequin, but many Audi/VW fans are. And for some strange reason the car has developed an almost cult like following. You certainly would struggle to find any other factory delivered car that has anything close this crazy of a paint scheme. The result was a car that truly stood out in a crowd. Whether or not you believe this was in a good way, well that doesn’t really matter if the point was to just stand out.

15 years later, an Audi owner named Michael Reisinger decided he wanted his 2000 Audi RS4 to stand out in a crowd as well. He adapted the Golf Harlequin theme, with a little bit of a twist via Hello Kitty brakes and a splash of pink. He finished the look off with a set of 20″ Rotiform forged BLQs with gold centers and chrome hoops. His goal was to stand out in a crowd, and we can’t possibly see how that will be any problem for him now. Before you start sending hate mail his way, he was able to accomplish this new livery with the use of vinyl (temporary) graphics. So all of you Audi supremacists can relax, he didn’t ruin a perfectly good RS4 in the process.

We applaud Michael for his bold design and the cohones to pull of such a feat. We don’t think that there are many cars out there that can pull this type of outfit off, but the RS4 Avant certainly has the power to leave any would be mockers in a wake of tire smoke. The car also features custom B7 RS4 brake disks and RS6 brake calipers. The RS4 also has a custom tune likely in the mid 400 HP range and custom Friedrich Motorsport suspension.
