What's the longest production car name?

I was just reminded of how incredibly long some of these (especially Japanese) car names could be in reading various articles. What is the longest name ever given to a production automobile? I don't know, but I want to find out.

For example.

Impreza STI RA Spec-C
full name - Subaru Impreza, Subaru Technica International, Record Attempt, Spec-Competition

or

Evo VIII MR FQ-400

full name - Mitsubishi, Lancer Evolution Eight, Mitsubishi Racing, F@cking Quick 400

What can you come up with?

Not long in itself, but when prefixed with the deleted expletives every owner learns it gets pretty long.

I'd rather play this game.

Longest production usage of the same name is more interesting to me than just the longest name.

What can you come up with?
Just a neat pick, but I believe the RA means Rally Altered or Race Altered.
