I knew I wanted an SC430 but when I saw the 09 Pebble Beach Edition, I was sold:

It has a 2-tone black/white interior.

Well, that'd be pretty easy for me: Pagani Zonda.......R.

^ I think that and the Clio V6 are my favorites. Both completely unexpected.

my spot is next to a blk/blk CLK63. maybe black series? there is a huge diffuser in the rear bumper, along with a factory widebody kit. got me thinking - the 63 series for MB is super exclusive. its as if to say regular "55" AMGs wont cut it. guess it is on par with the S/RS series for audi.

i thought ive seen a few in the wild, but it always turns out to be the kid that parks next to me in my bldg. he carelessly parks in any ol' space at the gym, grocery store, etc. drives me nuts. esp. b/c hes in his 20s - maybe even a college student.

yeah, I think the original intent of the post has gone totally astray...best examples I've read so far: Renault Clio, Grand National, Neon SRT-4, possibly the Caddy CTS-V. The base car should be mundane, not a supercar and preferably with the special versions having some type of production run and not "one-offs"...
I'll add one...Ford Lightning SVT
and Harley Davidson Edition with same powertrain

Without a doubt, the 722 SLR Stirling Moss special edition. One of my all time favorites. It really doesnt get any specialer than this...

I'm a huge fan of even the regular X5. I would take one any day of the week. Especially an M.

Not crazy at all. But like I said, I'd take even a regular X6 in a heartbeat. Honestly, aesthetically I don't see a huge difference between some regular X5's and X6's and the M versions. Must mostly be under the hood.

The X6 is an acquired taste. I've driven the BMW E70 4.8 and had a total blast behind the wheel. I can imagine how much more fun the E70 M would be in comparison to the 4.8.

How can this discussion go this far without someone mentioning a special edition Mustang? I'll take the Boss 302...
If the base Mustang is not mundane enough, then right there near the top of the list for "transformations" has got to be the GMC "special editions": the Typhoon/Syclone...

While the 69 COPO Camaro is my favorite special edition car, I wanted to bring up another one.
The 88-89 Mazda 323 GTX.
While it may not look that special, this car came about as a result of Mazda wanting to take part in Group A rally racing. FIA regulations said they had to produce 5000 road going versions of the car to homologate the car. Power came from a 1.6 liter twin cam 16 valve turbo 4 and was delivered to the pavement via AWD. This was essentially a rally car tuned down for street use. It cost roughly twice as much as a base 323.

I love the fact that it has nice curves, ultra comfortable, and drives like a boat even though it has a v8.
Finding replacement wear/tear parts (floor mats, leather seats, etc) are really hard though since they're limited edition. That goes for all special/limited edition.
