Born from the VW/Audi parts bin for transaxle models, this brilliant white carries a glacial purity that's hard to ignore. It's clean and precise with just enough warmth to avoid feeling sterile. In bright sun, it practically glows—the kind of white that makes a 944's angular bodywork look razor-sharp.
