For all of you Corvette Lovers, here is a good bit of news on a limited edition of he Vette that will be released in Japan. This comes courtesy of COMPLEX MAGAZINE

[When it comes to exclusivity, Japan rocks the crown. There’s a reason your favorite rapper makes sure they touch down in the land of the rising sun at least once a year to stock up on goods they know homies in the States haven’t seen yet. Even American companies like Levi’s bless them with hotter product than we get. For their 100th anniversary General Motors is looking to bestow yet another exclusive on Japan in the form of the Chevrolet Corvette S-Limited.

Produced by GM Asia-Pacific and based on the Corvette Coupe, only 30 of the S-Limiteds will be made, with each costing around $75,000. And what exactly are they getting for the $20,000+ price premium? A cosmetic make-over featuring limited edition black or arctic white paint, a full leather wrapped interior package available in sienna or linen themes, a rear spoiler, mesh screens placed around the cars various vents and grills. There aren’t any performance upgrades planned for the S-Limited, but hey, the ‘Vette already packs a 6.2L V8 power plant that cranks out 430hp, that should be plenty for a country whose new supercar packs a 470 hp V6.]
