I think (!) they were all the same: Lime Rock Green, Brownstone interior (3LT), Torque wheels, Z51, and dash plaque. I think (again) that the only options were convertible or coupe and automatic or manual.
I'm a little fuzzy as that was 2+ years ago and I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday. Hopefully someone can pipe in with a better memory for the things I may have gotten wrong.

There were two types - Coupe and Convertible. Both had the 3LT Brownstone interior. The Coupes were all M7s, Laguna Blue. The Convertibles were all Limerock Green with Kalahari tops, and were all automatic. Don't quote me on the transmissions, but I think that is correct. Thought they built 500 of each type. There were several threads on them back in 2014.

interesting question. My plans are for a 2017, but will entertain the idea of a premier edition if it's everything I want. I've come across a few of them but when I ask if the luggage is included, I'm greeted with either a blank stare or there was no luggage.

You can build your own similar 2017 but not in the same colors.

Only in 2014, there were 500 LB coupes (M7), which were identical to each other. There were 550 LRG Verts (A6) with Kalahari tops, which were identical to each other, both had Z51 w/mag ride, and had chrome Torque wheels.
All 1050 came with Brownstone w/suede interiors, two sets of floor mats, two sets of door sills, and 5 pieces of luggage: 2 roller bags, one small duffle, one backpack, and one messenger/laptop bag.
At this point, I doubt there are many P.E. cars left that can be still sold as new, but if you find one, make sure all the "goodies" are included. When buying used, you may or may not get any of that stuff forwarded with the car.

Of the Premier Editions I have come across, none of them have the luggage. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but it was part of the package so I expect it to be included if the seller is using the fact that the specific car is one of the Premier Editions as a selling point.

Thanks Rick. I must not have used the proper search terms when I went looking.

I'm sure there were no PE's with clear tops from the factory, unless I missed or forgot something. I'll be interested to see if anyone chimes in with better info.

The mats and sill plates may have been changed at dealer thus giving you two sets. The dealer must of kept the other ones. If you look on your window sticker it should list the exposed carbon fiber roof.

Ok, I'm confused, standard equipment says it has the exposed carbon fiber top and options say it has the transparent top, so does that mean it was supposed to have both tops or does the option override the standard? All I got was the transparent top, I bought a used CF top so I now have one but did the dealer rip me off?
