Factory Mistake Creates Unique Mystery: VW Golf R Painted the Wrong Color

A 2017 Volkswagen Golf R was accidentally painted in Carbon Steel Grey Metallic, a color that was never officially available on the model from the factory. Volkswagen was unable to provide a definitive answer as to how this happened, suggesting it was either an incorrect entry or a system error. The car gained attention and sparked a frenzy among buyers, leading to the introduction of the Spektrum program, which offers a wider range of paint options for the Golf R. The unique Golf R is now up for sale and comes with a special letter of authenticity from Volkswagen.
