DB9 Carbon Black: Darkened tail lights, 20” wheels in silver or satin black, four colors for painting the brake calipers and black-leather coating with piano-black inserts. And, of course, carbon fiber: it appears at diffusers, spoilers and side strakes, at the side mirrors and at some internal items. Combine that to painting the body in black or white and the additional equipment options and you’ll know what DB9’s newest special edition is all about. It carries over the naturally-aspirated standard 5.9L V12 engine, for both coupé and Volante.

RS7 Dynamic Edition: Audi decided to put together most of the items available at its personalization program into one of its best cars of nowadays. The red color appears at brake calipers, seatbelts and accent stitchings, and is combined to carbon-fiber external and internal items and 21” gloss-black wheels. There are also four external colors and everything the standard RS7 offers when it comes to mechanics, such as three-stage damping, rear sport differential and dynamic steering. You can have this car for US$ 146,045 in the U.S..

M4 Convertible: Given that you’ve already seen 4-Series Convertible and M4 Coupé, faking surprise for BMW placing both variations together might’ve been hard. What is much easier to feel is excitement, regardless of what you look to: the exterior brings an aerodynamic kit with more aggressive bumpers and sportier wheels, while the cabin responds with sporty seats and steering wheel and the option of red leather. The twin-turbo, six-cylinder 3.0L uses a seven-speed gearbox, reaches 425 cv and 56 kgfm and takes it from 0 to 100 kph in 4s2.

Corvette Z06 Convertible: If you used to think droptops couldn’t be as sporty as a coupé, this car is dedicated to prove you wrong. The exterior features everything you’ve already seen at the Z06 coupé, like the aerodynamic kit, only without the roof, along with a 20% more rigid body than the outgoing equivalent. The entire mechanical part is shared with the coupé, which includes the supercharged 6.2L V8 engine whose power figures haven’t been revealed yet. There will be a standard manual seven-speed gearbox, with an eight-speed as optional.

Mustang 50 Years: What could be a better event to make such celebration? Ford’s legendary pony car turns 50 with the first special series of the current generation. It’ll always be fully-equipped, which means there will be a 5.0L V8, with 420 cv and 53.8 kgfm. The engine’s output will be enhanced with the Performance package, while the cabin adds two-tone coating and steering wheel in leather and cashmere. You’ll only need to choose between Kona Blue or Wimbledon White and manual or automatic six-speed transmissions.

XK Final Fifty Edition: F-Type has gobbled up most of Jaguar’s sales when it comes to sports cars, but it doesn’t mean XK should be forgotten. Its farewell edition is based on the XKR trim and will have 50 units, half as coupé and half as convertible. The outside features black painting, 20” wheels and both the Dynamic and Performance packages, while the cabin receives sporty seats, Bowers & Wilkins audio system and a plaque with Iam Cullum’s signature. The 5.0L V8 produces 510 cv and 63.6 kgfm and reaches 4s6 and 280 kph.

GranTurismo MC Stradale Centennial Edition: In order to celebrate the Italian automaker’s hundredth anniversary, both this coupé and GranCabrio received a very elegant edition, based on the MC Stradale trim. The external color will have seven options, which will be repeated or combined to others in the cabin, along with some elements made of carbon fiber. Both use a 4.7L V8 engine, capable of 460 cv and 53 kgfm. Using an automatic six-speed gearbox, the coupé goes from 0 to 100 kph in 4s7 and to 297 kph of top speed.

MX-5 25th Anniversary: This one is halfway from Mustang. Mazda is celebrating twenty-five years of selling its compact roadster in North America with a 100-unit limited edition. It’s based on the hardtop version and adds external black-painted elements to an exclusive metallic-red body. The interior, in turn, features white leather coating and the dashboard combining black and that same red, while the mechanics were enhanced with Bilstein dampers and 17” wheels. You can take it with six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.

S63 AMG Coupé: Like what happens with the sedan, the coupé is receiving S63 as its first sporty variation. And like what happens with Audi and BMW, you can think of it as two others put together. The sedan’s package added heavier steering and stiffer suspension here, along with this gorgeous two-door silhouette in a more aggressive look. There will be 4Matic AWD, Speedshift transmission and a 5.5L, twin-turbo V8 to take everything from 0 to 100 kph in 3s9 (300 kph of top speed): it generates 577 hp and 664 lb-ft.

Viper Anodized Carbon Time Attack: For those who love this kind of car, this is nothing but putting together the two equipment packages that compose the edition’s name. This Viper will have only ten units, and features items like carbon-fiber rear spoiler and aluminum forged wheels. The cabin is expected to receive sporty seats in Alcantara and Nappa with carbon-fiber parts, while the tech specs were boosted with Brembo brakes, Pirelli tires and Bilstein dampers. There’s no information about SRT’s “ultra-exclusive” vehicle’s price yet.
