If it had alacantra inserts and 5000 Aero wheels it was a Commemerative Special. The Commemerative Edition had red leather, body colored trim and white Ronal wheels on Alpine White cars. The CE was only available on CGTs and 4Kqs in 1986. In the CGT, it also came with a digi-dash and body colored spoiler.

I actually owned an '86 4K commemorative edition (I think, the PO told
me so). I bought it used so I can't comment on how it was marketed new;
however, it was graphite metallic with tan/black leather interior. The
seats had a (suede?) insert. There was no special badging. It had 4000
CS on the trunk and was FWD. It had the 5K aero wheels and a 5spd. If I
remember it had the 1.8L 4 cylinder. The owners manual,just to confuse
things, said 4000S on the cover.

So that would be a 86 4kscs.  I think I've got this figured out.  There
is
a 86 4ks Commemorative Series, but it's probably not labeled as a CS,
because they also have 4kcsq's of the same year that aren't
Commemorative
Series, but could be Commemorative Editions.  They also have 86 CGT that
are CE's (but not labeled as such.  By labelled I mean on the trunk and
on
the dash.)
