Carmakers love creating special editions, almost as much as they love giving them ridiculous names.


10.) Scion TC Release Series 7.0

My X-type is too a real Jaguar prefers iOS:

It is a car not a version of Windows.

9.) Nissan Silvia Almighty

Introduced in late 1992, the Almighty slotted between the J's and Q's, offering options not available on J's, but not including all the standard features of Q's. So in this sense "almighty" meant "exactly mediocre." They did have a cool badge you can grab for $20, though.

8.) Pagani Zonda F Final Edition

This would be a great name if it was the Final Zonda F. Of course, that's not quite true...

7.) Chevrolet Venture Warner Bros. Edition

Minivans + kids + cartoons = profit. I get it, GM.

These came with a VHS player and integrated LCD screens.

I must say, stupid name or not, it's still kind of cool...

4.) Fiat 500 Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari

I love this car. The attitude, the sound, the looks. But the Ferrari badging? Not so much. It's even worse than a Harley Davidson Edition F150...

2.) Bugatti Veyron World Record Edition


This is another case of a name that would be good if it were true. When these cars were sold they were speed-limited, meaning that you spent a ton of money for a World Record Edition that couldn't set a world record. Bugatti eventually fixed this.

1.) Jeep Comanche Eliminator

It was the Comanche Eliminator. Eliminating Comanches since 1986! Who thought this was a good idea? What about the "trail of tires" edition?
