Just recently I found out about the Brownstone Limited Edition RCZ and it sparked a discussion with a fellow enthusiast.

Well I thought I knew quite a bit about our beloved RCZ, turns out there's always something to learn as with anything I guess !
So, we have the Limited Edition Brownstone with 150 units sold in the EU. I actually saw one of these at the European Meeting in Zeeland, but didn't realise what it was !
Which brings me to what I think is probably going to be one of the rarest RCZ's **
** except obviously Bimota and Arlen Ness concepts...
The RCZ Black Yearling !!!

This Special Edition was launched in 2009 !! for the Italian market after a Special Edition white RCZ was launched and sold out online, 200 of that model was launched and apparently only 3 Italians manage to get one. Annoyed at this they complained to Peugeot and hence the Special Edition Black Yearling was produced for the Italians.
100 of these models were made and all sold in Italy.
If you are having problems with the links, this is basically what is said...
THE TIME STRING "Venghino gentlemen, venghino." And in the race too , if they do not want to stay dry for the second time, Peugeot has created a special series with matt black livery of his new compact coupe, the RCZ , and is selling it online (at http://www.rczblackyearling.it) with unexpected success: within two weeks , click after click, the Italians have already booked 60 of the 100 specimens planned, ordered immediately, but ready for delivery next spring .
VENERE NERA In addition to wearing a cat-woman dress , this RCZ also has two aluminum arches and darkened brake calipers, as well as, inside, the central console is in black mother-of-pearl . The special equipment includes 18 dark gray alloy wheels , sport seats, pedals, footrest and kick-offs in aluminum, and the dashboard covered in Technotep "Grana Nabuck".
HIGH TECH Rich is also the technological equipment of commodity and safety systems as standard. The ABS and the ESP are flanked by electronic speed regulation and limiting devices and rear parking sensors . The climate is bizona, the navigation is displayed in 3D on a 7-inch screen, while the music can play from any kind of support : the audio system includes a CD player , Mp3 , wma, DVD, the USB socket, the player SD card and Juke Box function.
MORE ' Always on the subject of technology, the Black Yearling provides a standard package , the Easy Motion , and another in the list of options, the Vision . In the first listed starting, the automatic headlamp and wiper, the ' adjustment to the reverse of the electric exterior mirrors, the electrochromic interior rearview mirror, the headlights "Follow Me Home" and the detector of the front obstacles. With the second is added to' the Xeno directional headlamps, the headlight washers, the automatic headlight alignment and the tire pressure loss indicator.
FURY A DIESEL OR GASOLINE The French "colt" - so you can translate the English term Yearling - you can have two different engines , one petrol, the other diesel.Fitted with the 1.6 16V THP 156 CV costs € 32,000 , excluding options, but if you opt for the 2.0 16V HDi with 163 hp , the bill increases by € 3,000, reaching a base of € 35,000, both engines are Euro 5 approved.
SECOND CHANCE Almost a sort of reparation move by the Lion, this limited series is destined exclusively for Italy. In fact, the House had already produced a special version of the RCZ - always super-accessory, but with a pearly white livery - simply called "Limited Edition" , which had exhibited at the last Francofoorte exhibition, which was so successful (the 200 copies were all sold online to fans of ten different countries, of which only three Italians) to leave unanswered the demand of many other aspiring customers.
Well that's my lot !!
So if we know of any other lost Special / Limited Editions post here. I know the Asphalt sold about 75 in the UK but what it's overall selling number was I don't know ??
Cheers
