Click above to view more of the Burberry Quattroporte
Think "Maserati" and "Burberry" and there are so many ways this could have gone classy. But this isn't one of them. Seems some fool with too much oil money and not enough taste has plastered his Quattroporte in what appears to be perforated Burberry-plaid gift-wrap paper. If this were some sort of new camouflage on a test mule for the newly revised Quattroporte, we'd say it was effective (who could focus on the details in between the bouts of vomiting?), but somehow we don't picture the Italians doing anything this horrendously tasteless. In fact, we'd encourage Maserati to track down the owner and repossess the vehicle immediately. Click on the thumbnails below to see more of the Burberry-spangled Maser... if you must.

That is truly gross !!!!!
Reminds me of Herb Tarlik's sports coats on "WKRP in Cincinnati"

Take one part undeserved wealth, two parts bad taste and two parts luxury nameplates. Blend until bitter and unsightly...

i love how the top of the windshield is tinted with the burberry tint also. hilarious
ASEVENSEE4 @ Jun 24th 2008 7:06PM
Someone should go over there and rip the vinyl off and do this Maserati a favor

ITT: Racists.
LloydChiro @ Jun 25th 2008 9:33AM
What is ITT?
People keep calling others racist here, but I don't see any. there's a lot of cultural bias and prejudice, but no racism.

So many less advantaged people with taste could own this car and treat it right, and who does it go to? Some rich guy that paints it to look like a used car salesman's suit.
Truly, our world is faced with the presence of evil. Either that or God has the eyesight of Stevie Wonder.
baffledu2 @ Jun 24th 2008 7:32PM
NO USED CAR SALESMAN WOULD BE SEEN IN THAT THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jebbry @ Jun 24th 2008 7:13PM
A truly chaved up motor.
vkchu @ Jun 24th 2008 7:28PM
i was just going to say that. props to you, sir.
Quattroporte @ Jun 24th 2008 7:14PM
At least they didn't do that to a GranTurismo.
Quattroporte @ Jun 24th 2008 7:17PM
But that's still horrible.
Mobius_1 @ Jun 24th 2008 11:45PM
You must feel so horrible right now... You have my sympathy
drunkenpublicness @ Jun 24th 2008 7:21PM
Nasty. But you know there's some rapper out there thinking "Damn! Why didn't I think of that!?"

The car has Abu Dhabi plates.
xamr1 @ Jun 24th 2008 7:27PM
the license plate indicates Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates ... not that it matters because it is hideous no matter where it is
Greg @ Jun 24th 2008 7:29PM
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Mousa @ Jun 24th 2008 7:30PM
This is in the UAE not in Saudi Arabia
and exactly in Abu Dhabi
I have seen it few months ago and the owner is 20 years old or less as i heard!
Dolemite @ Jun 24th 2008 7:57PM
Hmmm. 20 years old? I guess that explains it.
How can it be legal to drive this thing with the headlights covered?
This is like putting a beautiful woman in a niqab: it should be illegal.
JustJoe @ Jun 25th 2008 3:14AM
@ Dolemite:
Look closely at the headlights and turn signals, and you'll see that very small parts of both are left uncovered. Kind of reminds me of military vehicles in WWII whose lights were almost entirely painted over except for a little spot. FWIW. And...at least this wasn't a Woody conversion!
