For almost 20 years, luxury retailer Neiman Marcus has teamed up with an automaker to offer rare, limited edition automobiles in the pages its famous annual holiday catalogue. The vehicles have run the gamut over the years, but have slowly been eking up in price and exclusivity in the past few years. 2011 saw a Ferrari FF Neiman Marcus, while 2012’s car was a McLaren 12C Spider. As we announced a few weeks back, the retailer’s 2013 holiday car is the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante.
Priced at a lofty $344,500, the Vanquish Volante draws inspiration from the 1969 DB6 Volante owned by Britain’s Prince Charles. Limited to just 10 units, the Neiman Marcus edition will be among the first of Aston Martin’s 565-horsepower convertibles sold in the US market.
Sporting Seychelles Blue paint and a black leather interior with blue accents, the Vanquish Volante’s mechanicals are unchanged from the standard car, making this an expensive style package. Neiman Marcus editions are known for selling out very quickly (the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible from 2010 sold all 100 examples in three minutes ), so it’s entirely likely that all ten of examples of the Neiman Marcus edition are spoken for, as orders opened back on October 23.
If you’re one of the lucky few that snapped up the striking droptop, congratulations. For the rest of us, our live gallery of images from the 2013 LA Auto Show will have to suffice. Take a look above for the live shots, and then scroll down for a press release from Aston Martin.Continue reading Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Neiman Marcus makes holiday shopping easy, expensive
