We previewed Maserati's limited-edition Collezione Cento yesterday, but here it is in person. We now know that the 100 units all feature 10-inch touch screen monitors in the back of each front seat. Rear seat passengers can use them in conjunction with the keyboard housed in the center armrest to browse the Internet or watch movies. That rear armrest also contains an iPod dock, USB port and auxiliary line-in, in addition to Bluetooth connectivity and a USB port for other peripherals. galleryPost('centocd', 6, 'Maserati Collezione Cento'); The interior is clothed in something Maserati lushly identifies as "Poltrona Frau Cuoio" leather. We're not sure if the direct English translation is "1970s Bordello," but it might as well be. And yes, it gets better: The vehicle's nameplate and the trident in the gear knob both get mother-of-pearl inlays.

At first glance, we were tempted to write this limited edition off as an attempt to flog unwanted cars. But looking at the interior pictures in detail, it looks like the Quattroporte Collezione Cento might actually be something special. The 100 units built will feature a standard multimedia system which can show pictures in addition to the more obvious movie playing, music listening capabilities. What's really special is the interior, which is decked out in buttoned two-tone leather with wood trim. galleryPost('maseraticento', 6, 'Maserati Quattroporte Collezione Cento');
