    Rumor: Special Edition Audi TT Forza Motorsport 3 In The Works

    We've professed our love for Forza Motorsport 3. We've gabbed about its beauty and how the graphics look true to life. And now, like some sci-fi movie where animated objects fly off the screen, rumors abound that Audi is producing a special model to honor the game that's on every Xbox fan's mind: the Audi TT Forza Motorsport Edition. The limited-edition's best, though perhaps most redundant feature? Each comes with an Xbox 360 Elite console stashed in the trunk, alongside a copy of Forza Motorsport 3. No official word from Audi about the rumors just yet, but here's hoping. Really, really hoping. [Autoblog]

    Mazda celebrates 20 years of roadsters with special edition in Japan July 31st, 2009 By Nelson Ireson Nelson Ireson, Author, July 31st, 2009 Nelson Ireson 5 Comments

    Mazda celebrates 20 years of roadsters with special edition in Japan When Mazda launched the Miata, or Roadster as it's known in Japan, in 1989, few suspected it would go on to become the best-selling open-top sports car of all time, but over 860,000 vehicles later, the car is officially the most popular roadster in existence. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the car, Mazda has released today a special edition in Japan.

    Based on either the soft-top six-speed manual version or the retractable hard-top automatic version of the car, the Roadster 20th Anniversary comes with a special set of equipment to make it stand out from the regular lineup.

Based on either the soft-top six-speed manual version or the retractable hard-top automatic version of the car, the Roadster 20th Anniversary comes with a special set of equipment to make it stand out from the regular lineup. Red and black Recaro seats, 20th Anniversary badges and clear fog lights are some of the first details that catch the eye, while 17in aluminum alloy wheels, a front strut tower bar, five-setting heated seats and synthetic leather door armrests and console elements finish off the package. As for the exterior color, you can get the Roadster 20th Anniversary in any color you want as long as it's Crystal White Pearl Mica. Pricing in Japan starts at 2,860,000 ($29,880) for the soft-top/manual version, while the power-retractable hardtop with the automatic goes for 3,110,000 ($32,490). Mazda previously celebrated the 20th anniversary of the MX-5/Roadster with a celebration at Le Mans in France.Mazda Roadster 20th Anniversary Special Edition Read More

    2010 Camaro TRANSFORMERS Special Edition announced The Transformers movies have been one of the major co-branding successes of recent years, and General Motors is using it for all it's worth, today releasing a new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro TRANSFORMERS Special Edition.

It focuses on a black stripes on yellow layout - like the Bumblebee Camaro from the movies - and also includes an AUTOBOT shield on both door panels, the wheel caps and embroidered into the center console.

    Lotus Elise Black & White editions revealed While Lotus is certainly known for its minimalist philosophy of design, it is also increasingly known for the incredible multitude of special-edition models offered. Today we get to add another pair to the ranks - the Bell & Colvill Black & White editions.

    The pair of special cars features the monochromatic theme that lends them their name, a special tri-stripe down the middle of the car, upgraded microfiber interior materials, upgraded wheels and a special rear diffuser.

    The options packages - both Black edition and White edition - will be available from Bell & Colvill, the longest-established Lotus retailer, and only on Elise R and Elise...

The options packages - both Black edition and White edition - will be available from Bell & Colvill, the longest-established Lotus retailer, and only on Elise R and Elise SC models, reports Lotus Enthusiast. Despite the appearance-only nature of the Black and White editions, pricing sits at a fairly healthy £1,950 ($3,200). On the other hand, the full package includes features worth about £5,000 ($8,200) if purchased separately. No word on whether the packages will cross the pond for sale in the U.S., but given the association with Bell & Colvill, don't expect to see this one in left-hand drive.Lotus Elise Black and White Editions Read More

Mercedes Benz is set to expand its C-Class range with the addition of the new Special Edition line, a new range-topping model with exclusive styling and a host of standard equipment. Available in both the Sedan and Estate bodystyles, as well as the complete C-Class engine range, the new Special Edition is only being offered in Europe for now. Changes to the exterior include subtle touches such as shoulderline trim strips in polished aluminum, a finned radiator in a silver matt finish with chrome highlights, plus an integrated star, front fog lamps with a chrome ring and chromed twin louvres, chrome highlights in the bumper, and a glossy black B-pillar. There are also darked headlamps, a unique indium grey paint scheme, and 17in five-spoke alloy wheels. Like the exterior, the interior is based on the sporty Avantgarde line of time. Its styling has been altered with the addition of new sports seats trimmed in Artico man-made leather and Liverpool fabric in como beige. The same como beige trim is used for the stitching in seats, centre armrest, door centre panel and floor mats. Other details include brushed aluminum elements, a multifunction leather steering wheel, and a 4.5in display in the instrument cluster. Standard equipment includes Mercedes’ Agility Control active suspension dampening, adaptive brakes, auto adjusting bi-xenon headlights, and Parktronic parking sensors. The new Special Edition range is positioned above the Avantgarde trim and depending on which engine option is chosen, prices increase by about €2,689 to a maximum €3,879. No word yet whether Mercedes will offer the range in North America.2010 Mercedes Benz C-Class Special Edition Read More

    BMW working on Rolls-Royce custom Mini Special editions and the Mini seem to go together like rubber and asphalt, with no fewer than three out in the last month, including the luxury-focused Mayfair Edition (pictured). But the next special edition could be something special, indeed.

    Built in cooperation with Rolls Royce, the new Mini would focus primarily on upgrading the interior experience. Coachbuilt Minis actually have something of a history in the UK, reports Autocar, and the latest Rolls Royce Mini would seek to tap into that vein.

Coachbuilt Minis actually have something of a history in the UK, reports Autocar, and the latest Rolls Royce Mini would seek to tap into that vein. Exactly what would be found in the interior of a Rolls Royce Mini is still unknown, but high-grade leather upholster, wood and metal trim elements, re-styled console elements and a unique color scheme are tipped as likely inclusions. There's no timeline yet for a release, but it's believed that the Rolls-Mini collaboration is already at the late prototype stage, so an announcement could be coming any time now. Read More
