100th ANNIVERSARY NEIMAN MARCUS LIMITED-EDITION MASERATI GHIBLI S Q4.

Now that's not too much to ask for, is it ???

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.

Reserve this luxury car by calling 1-855-835-5665, beginning promptly at noon EDT on October 22, 2014.
