Plain and etched versions of the M805 Demonstrator are released featuring palladium plated trim.  This model lacks the cut away on the connector and the attributes are labeled in English only.
2020 –
An etched version of the M800 Demonstrator limited to 1000 models is released in China with labels in both simplified and traditional Chinese.  This model also lacks the cut away on the connector.
