a factory-modified model

For example:A year ago, faced with a 116-mile round-trip commute to his office in Southern California and a $100 weekly gasoline bill, O’Dell switched from a Subaru Outback to the Honda Civic GX, a factory-modified model that runs exclusively on natural gas.

What does "factory-modified" mean?

Thanks!

Many people make a business of taking stock cars from the assembly line and customizing them. But one which is factory-modified would be a special edition or one-of-a-kind vehicle built by the original manufacturer, in this case, Honda. I don't know if the Civic GX is what they're referring to.
