2014 Nissan GT-R Special Edition

Filed under:

Nissan has unveiled the 2014 GT-R Special Edition. Finished in Midnight Opal paint, the GT-R SE will be limited to just 100 units worldwide, with 50 earmarked for the US.

With sales slated to start this fall, the Special Edition of the 545-horsepower GT-R tacks $6,000 on to the $105,590 price of a GT-R Premium. The hand-applied Midnight Opal paint isn’t the only special item, though. Forged RAYS wheels are included in a ten-spoke design that’s never before made it to American shores, and there’s a dry carbon-fiber rear spoiler, similar in design and appearance to the one found on the GT-R Black and Track Editions. Finally, a gold-plated plaque has been fitted to single out the GT-R Special Edition from the very fast herd.

US sales of the GT-R SE are slated to begin in September. Scroll down for the official press blast.

Ford has pulled the wraps off its anticipated 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition model, a new variant of the popular street-legal off-road specialist. In a nutshell, the “special” is all cosmetic – there are no mechanical upgrades to the truck and its 6.2-liter V8 (411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque), Torsen limited-slip differential, beadlock-capable wheels and internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers all remain untouched.

The SVT Raptor Special Edition, which adds cosmetic enhancements to the existing Luxury Package, will be offered in Ruby Red Metallic and Tuxedo Black Metallic with box-side graphics. The interior upgrades include Brick Red seat bolsters (with black inserts), cloth honeycomb highlights and a console top finish panel.

As of now, Ford has only release a couple pictures of the Special Edition model. But check back later, as we will update the gallery when additional high-res images are released later today, and be sure to peruse the press release below for all the details.

BMW’s 2014 6-series Lineup Receives a Few Performance Upgrades and a Special Edition

Leave a comment

By John Lamm

BMW's 6 Series for 2014: can we hear a cheer for all-wheel drive, carbon ceramic brakes and a 6-speed manual?

There was already much to like about BMW’s latest-generation 6-series, and for 2014, the Bavarians have added a special-edition 6er and more of the equipment we love. While the car’s primary objective has been cruising the likes of Newport Beach, South Beach, and Greenwich in style, BMW has added another M-branded 6-series to the lineup for 2014 in the M6 Gran Coupe. But the new-for-2014 performance goodies don’t end there. The brand now offers all three M6s—Gran Coupe, coupe, and convertible—with a homegrown six-speed manual and carbon-ceramic brakes.A no-cost option over the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, the manual will provide automatic rev matching on downshifts so long as the car’s drive-mode selector is set to Efficient or Sport. Select Sport Plus and you’ll be left to match revs yourself. In addition to their well-documented stopping power, the carbon-ceramic brakes knock off 42.8 pounds of unsprung weight and, to impress the neighbors, have gold-painted calipers.

But if exclusivity, rather than outright performance, is what will impress the neighbors, you might consider the Frozen Brilliant White edition 650i convertible. Just 100 of these special editions will be made. The name would refer, of course, to the matte exterior finish, while the side-mirror caps, the grille, and the 20-inch aluminum-wheel accents are done in matte Frozen Black, while the ragtop is just black. The Nappa leather interior also is finished in black, and accented by Gray Poplar wood trim. The Frozen Brilliant White edition will be the first BMW stateside to arrive with the brand’s Dynamic Digital Instrument Cluster, which sees instrumentation alter “personalities” based on which drive mode is selected. There’s the choice of sDrive rear-wheel drive or xDrive all-wheel drive, with xDrive adding the Cold Weather package, which includes heated front and rear seats and a heated steering wheel. Included in all 100 editions are the Executive and M Sport packages, the latter not making this a full M6, but adding items like an aero kit and an M steering wheel. Exclusivity, as is said, comes at a price, and the price for this one-of-100 650i convertible is $106,695, or $110,095 for xDrive models.
