Is it just me, or are we getting silly with the names/designations for cars...

Version X Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C

The Evos are almost as bad.

I like Porsche.

928, 996, 914, etc. OK, You can call them Carrera, Carrera Turbo, Carrera Cabriolet, but those are pretty simple. At least there is not Porsche Carrera Turbo 996 type R ver 6

So, here is the contest...

Find the longest manufacturer's published name/designation for a car and win the admiration of all your competitors...

Rules: The name must be verifiable. AKA it must be on a manufacturers web site/brochure, or at least a reputable major trade magazine.

The winner will be judged by the number of name components, not overall length ("Acura Integra type R" is 3 components. if they also had a blah R and a type S, it would be 4. even though they are not hyphenated, "type R" only counts as one component unless you can show other variations exist)

So my example of "Version X Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C" would be "version X" "Subaru" "Impreza" "WRX" "STI" "Spec C" or 6 if I could actually find it in print somewhere in that format.

Unverified versions can be submitted, but just like scrabble, be prepared to be challenged...

Enjoy.
