Cars Santa Should Live in My Driveway

MINI Inspired by Goodwood




For the MINI Inspired by Goodwood, BMW, which owns both MINI and Rolls-Royce, raided the Roller parts bin to create a superluxe interior for the supersmall commuter, including burr walnut trim pieces, floor mats made of lamb's wool and cashmere-lined storage trays. The high-price MINI, which is mechanically identical to the Cooper S, also wears Black Diamond exterior paint, a color otherwise exclusive to Rolls-Royce vehicles.


Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca





The Ford Mustang Boss 302 is the Blue Oval's "race car with a license plate" — a track-oriented performance machine packing a 5.0-liter 440-horsepower V8 engine, as well as improved aerodynamics and a stiffer suspension. The exclusive Laguna Seca edition is even Bossier, with a stiffer body and suspension and, in true race-car form, no rear seat, to reduce weight. It offers the same aerodynamic package in the Ford Racing Boss 302R, and the same quad exhaust system as the base 302. 


Shelby Super Cars Tuatara


Essentially, this midengine, rear-wheel-drive supercar is more over-the-top than anything else on the road. It seats two, has carbon-fiber everything and puts out an insane 1,350 horsepower and 1,042 lb-ft of torque. If that's not a gift to cherish, we don't know what is.


Porsche 911 Black Edition


With all the variants of the Porsche 911, it's hard to stand out in a crowd. But the Black Edition 911 is an automotive anomaly: a special-edition vehicle that costs less than its standard counterpart. The Black Edition is, in effect, a specialty parts package. It receives the same 3.6-liter 345-horsepower flat-6 engine as the 911 Carrera, but gets a blacked-out theme both inside — black instrument cluster, black rear console, sport steering wheel, black lettering on the sill plates — and outside, with Solid Black or Basalt Black Metallic exterior paint options and black brake calipers.

Ferrari FF Neiman Marcus Edition

Ferrari's $300,000, 4-seat, all-wheel-drive FF shooting brake was the featured vehicle in the 2011 Neiman Marcus holiday catalog. Neiman Marcus upped the ante by $95,000, but for the extra bucks you get an exclusive color — Grigio Caldo — an interior commemorative plaque and a spot at the automaker's 2012 Winter Driving Experience in Aspen, Colo. Oh, and you take delivery of the car in the spring 2012, skipping Ferrari's usual two-year waiting period. If that sounds worth the money to you, you are unfortunately out of luck.
