Default Neiman Marcus Maserati Quattroporte

This is a limited production of the 2005 Maserati Quattroporte US spec specially made for the luxury retailer Neiman Marcus. Their will only be made 60 of them. You can order yours from the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalogue. This special model will cost 125000 dollar, a lot more than the standard model, but it has a lot of exclusive extra's, like a special colour (Bordeaux Pontivecchio), special interior trim, Ivory Poltrona Frau leather, 19" chromed wheels, and lots of other extra's. Each will bear Pininfarina's signature along side its owner's name on an individually numbered nameplate.

Mmm, I accidentally posted this in the wrong section. Can someone of the moderators move it to the Car Chat section?

It seems like the right section to me, it does contain pics of a car afterall.

I like the look of the car, colour and wheels are very nice IMO.

Nieman Marcus even sold a special edition of the Cadillac XLR last year... a pointless price hike just to have a plaque and some paint.

No doubt it appeals to the snob inside certian richie riches..

Up until now I have really liked the Maserati, but this picture makes it lookty nice. While the front headlights still don't look right, they look more like decals than the real thing, the overall shape of the car is very nice.

No performance upgrades, just new paint color, interior bit changes and chrome wheels?...I say "blah".

First, those wheels are quite ugly. Second, that paint job looks nice, but nothing special. Third, Neiman Marcus is like any other name to me....worth nothing.
