Are these eight of the strangest special edition cars ever made?
Sometimes, car manufacturers get a bit weird with special editions. We take a look at eight of the wackiest.
Manufacturers love making special editions. Whether it’s to stir up a little bit of buzz around a single car, or simply stand out from the crowd, these weird and wonderful creations showcase what car makers can do when they let their imaginations run wild.
Here, we’ve picked out eight of the wackiest special-editions to ever have been created.
Bentley Bentayga by Mulliner Fly Fishing
That’s where the Fly Fishing by Mulliner edition Bentyga comes in. Fitted with bespoke rod tubes trimmed in saddle leather and a central storage station, as well as a waterproof wader stowage trunk, it’s a great option for those who want to spend time at the river, but be able to head home in the very highest luxury.
Volkswagen Golf Harlequin
Created in 1996, the Golf Harlequin was produced for just one year. Just 264 of these colourful cars were produced, and were made as a result of the immense popularity of the smaller Polo Harlequin.
Ssangyong Korando Sports DMZ
However, the DMZ edition possessed something particularly special – camouflage paint. It either stood out from or blended into the crowd – whichever you prefer – and gave the Korando Sports a beefy, military edge. It was cleverly named, too.
Bentley Bentayga Falconry
A veneer inlaid with a falcon graphic features on the car’s passenger-side trim piece, and is made up of 430 separate pieces which are painstakingly placed together by hand.
Skoda Felicia Fun
However, the Felicia Fun had a trick up its sleeve – the rear bulkhead could be extended to reveal two rear seats with a convertible section above, meaning four people could come along for the ride.
Rolls-Royce Wraith ‘Luminary Collection’
Inside, the main dashboard is fitted with 176 individual LEDs, designed to resemble ‘the trailing light of a shooting star’. Which is nice, if you want stars on your dash.
DS3 Black Lezard
The interior of the car is finished in high-quality leather, and gloss black trim is used to help lift the overall look of the cabin.
Range Rover Evoque Special Edition with Victoria Beckham
Inside, the four seats are finished in high-quality leather with contrasting white ‘baseball’ stitching. Prices at the time were almost impressively high, with the special edition coming in at a weighty £79,995.
