Automakers tend to build special edition models to turn a quick buck. A model is coming towards the end of its lifecycle and a special edition is rolled out to shift a few more units. Or a new model is built and a special edition arrives to garner some interest and start off sales with a bang.

Sadly, Prince died on April 21, 2016 of an accidental drug overdose. To honor the late superstar, Koenigsegg quickly took to the social media airwaves and posted this rendered image of its hybrid hypercar, the Regera, in purple. "Purple Rain" is the name of the iconic Prince song but there's also a double meaning here, in Swedish.

The inspiration? Bruce Brown's 1966 "Endless Summer", a classic documentary about surfing. Garage Italia Customs began with a stock 2016 Miata and gave it a unique livery that mimics the "long summer sunsets" with a bright orange paint that fades to indigo above the waistline for a cool two-tone look.

The tuner picked a set of 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels from Mazda's own accessories list to complete the exterior look. Inside, that two-tone theme continues with a denim finish with orange accents.

No problem, here's a briefing: it's a famed comic series in Japan that was later turned into an anime. The main character, Takumi Fujiwara, drove a modified Toyota AE86, the iconic ancestor to today's 86. Fujiwara was actually a delivery driver for his father's tofu shop.

Kia Sportage X-Men Edition
Back in 2015, Kia figured it'd be appropriate for all audiences to honor a certain naked X-Men character named Mystic with a Sportage crossover. The result was this one-off Sportage with "tone-on-tone" matte and gloss blue finish, complete with some yellow accents on the body.
