Volkswagen is throwing a grand fiesta to honor the magnificent four decades of the Jetta GLI's existence. But there’s a catch: the Volkswagen Jetta GLI 40th Anniversary Edition will only be available in North America.

The lucky owners will choose from a selection of unique exterior colors for the special edition: Pure White, Pure Gray, or Rising Blue.

There are also some red highlights and unique branding. The Volkswagen Jetta GLI 40th Anniversary Edition's interior features cloth seats with eye-catching red contrast stitching for a stylish touch.
