I don't think you will. I am not aware of any vinyl siding available in any shade of red.
Twenty years or so ago, several manufacturers (including Alcoa, Reynolds, and Certainteed) made "redwood" colored vinyl siding. All eventually faced huge warranty claims when the color faded prematurely. These claims also arose from colors other than "red". In general, all darker colors resulted in claims. Alcoa had a popular dark green color that turned a streaky greenish-yellow color. The reds generally turned into a streaky reddish-brownish color. The blues and charcoal greys discolored likewise. These, and other, companies paid tens of millions of dollars in warranty claims to have the problems remedied.
As a result, todays colors are all in the beige range and the color selection is very limited. Vinyl siding is now, and was then, sold by claiming that the "color runs throughout it" and salesmen would even cut into a piece of siding to demonstrate that fact. Unfortunately there is no way to peel back an extremely thin layer of the vinyl every couple of years and expose fresh colored siding! So far, UV protective coatings on the surface of the siding have not been able to substantially stop the fading effects of the sun.
Todays vinyl siding colors fade just like they used to do in the past. However, the vinyl siding industry has learned that the fade in certain colors is almost unnoticeable to the untrained eye. Hence todays' "shades of beige" and the reason all manufacturer's colors are virtually the same.
Good luck with your search for an exterior finish.

If you have a Menards or Home Depot in your area, they might have it and if they don't they should be able to order it.
if you have no luck there, maybe try a local siding company, they might be able to point you in the right direction.
I know they make it I've seen it.
