Only 100 special edition convertibles will be built, each offering luxury
appointments inspired by Neiman Marcus combined with the legendary performance
of the Camaro SS. This is the 84th edition of the luxury retailer's catalog of
ultimate holiday gifts. Neiman Marcus debuted the Christmas Book and the special
edition Camaro Convertible at its flagship store in Dallas.
"Neiman
Marcus provides a great platform to showcase the new Camaro Convertible," said
Tom Peters, Chevrolet Design director. "And, it enabled us to create a special
edition car that combines the powerful design and performance of the new Camaro
with an element of exclusivity, craftsmanship and customized luxury."
The
Neiman Marcus Edition is defined by its exclusive Deep Bordeaux exterior color,
accented by subtle, "ghosted" rally stripes.
"The tri-coat, metallic
paint shifts in response to natural light," said Peters. "In low light, it
appears almost black with a touch of deep violet. In sunlight, a little bit of
red and burgundy appear."
The Deep Bordeaux color is complemented by a
color-matched fabric top and windshield frame finished in matte silver, both
also exclusive to the Neiman Marcus edition.
The interior of the Neiman
Marcus Edition Camaro Convertible features exclusive leather interior
appointments, including amber-colored leather seating surfaces offset by black
leather side panels and red stitching. Red accents also appear on the center
console, steering wheel and shift knob. The Deep Bordeaux color from the
exterior is brought inside the car, appearing on the dash and door panels.
The Neiman Marcus Camaro Convertible has a retail price of $75,000, and will
be ready for delivery in the spring of 2011. Reservations for one of these
limited-edition cars will be accepted beginning at noon, EDT, on October 19,
2010.
All Neiman Marcus Camaro Convertibles will be equipped with a
6.2-liter, V-8 engine, When paired with six-speed manual transmission, the
engine delivers 426 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque; with the six-speed
automatic, the engine delivers 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque.
The Neiman Marcus Edition Convertible also has exclusive, 21-inch, polished
aluminum wheels, wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero ultra-high performance tires. Other
features include Brembo disc brakes, LED halo-ring headlamps, Bluetooth
connectivity, rear parking assist, and a 245-watt, Boston Acoustics sound
