Default 100th Anniversary Neiman Marcus Limited-Edition Maserati Ghibli S Q4

Neiman Marcus Christmas Book




A fearsome snarl rips through the air as your new Maserati roars to life. Like the North African wind for which it's named, the Ghibli is undeniably hot and powerful. Sensuous curved lines punctuated with an aggressive grill and bold triple vents perfectly illustrate the car's unique marriage of elegance and sports car verve. Pulling out onto the road, you notice surrounding cars slow as you cruise down the street. Ubiquitous German luxury sedans become mere traffic in your presence—catching a glimpse of a Maserati is still a treat. And driving it? Molto bene. The 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine (produced in collaboration with Ferrari) catapults you from 0 to 60 in a mere 4.7 seconds. Q4 all-wheel drive means you remain fully in control no matter what the driving conditions—even snow. There's nothing ordinary about a Maserati, but your particular car, in gorgeous Grigio Maratea, is one of 100 extraordinary vehicles built to mark the Italian car company's 100th anniversary. A centennial exclusive combination of premium exterior and interior options further sets you apart. Swiveled heads and open mouths accompany your arrival. Was it the aria emanating from the Bowers & Wilkins stereo or the symphony coming from the tailpipe that created the audience? Either way, one thing is certain: Everyone loves an Italian accent.

Love the looks, but for 95K, there are better options.

I know the gunmetal grey is really "in vogue" right now, but I bet at least 25% of the Ghibi's coming to this country are going to be painted that color, or something so similar it would take a discerning eye to tell the difference.

If you're going to do a special edition, do something a bit flashier IMO.

Yes, there is one better option: Lexus GS. Otherwise a more exclusive Maserati than any German that you see at every street corner.

well, not really... it is prominent piece of interior design... everything else is pretty high end too, they just slipped big time when it comes to infotainment area.

I think the Charger is redesigned for 2015.

It will look even more similar.
