Yes, it has a 523 horsepower V-8 and can hit 60 mph in under 4.6 seconds, but raw power and performance statistics scattered on a piece of paper only begin to describe the Ermenegildo Zegna limited edition Maserati Quattroporte. The result of this collaboration of two world-renowned Italian luxury leaders is an alchemy of unadulterated style and performance that’s sure to leave your heart pounding, as it recently did mine…

Michael, the always smiling general manager at Cleveland Motorsports shakes my hand and ushers me back to the detail shop. I’m immediately transfixed by the most impressive factory paint job I’ve ever seen—a hue the two design An exclusive Owner’s Collection kit is houses call Platinum Silk but that looks more Ermenegildo Zegna’s like a glass of Veuve Cliquot—with glistening gift with purchase. The kit includes personal accessories flakes of silver and gold that pull me in deeper the longer I stare. It crosses my mind and 10 yards of that I might be able to dip my finger into the ZegnaSilk in the same chevron pattern used paint and cast ripples across the hood as if it on the car’s seats. were my own personal meditation pond. I open the driver’s door, and the cabin is exactly as I imagined: breathtaking. For the seats, Zegna has chosen a durable chevron-patterned ZegnaSilk surrounded by well-bolstered superfine Italian leather that cradles me in luxurious comfort. Looking up at the headliner where there would normally be a faux suede, I see tan and grey Donegal ZegnaSilk (which also adorns the door inserts). This is an interior that quietly whispers class. Matte open-pore walnut surrounds the dash and center console, a welcome reprieve from the typical varnished hardwoods in most luxury sedans. And behind the leather wrapped gear shift, the iconic Ermenegildo Zegna label subtly reminds me that I could be one of only 100 fortunate drivers to own this very limited edition. A guy can dream, right?

Popping the trunk leads to another surprise, the Capsule Collection, a cache of hard and soft goods produced by Zegna to compliment the car: a leather suitcase and overnight duffle paired with a scarf, a picnic blanket of the same chevron silk and a pair of sunglasses for sunny Cleveland days. Oh, and 10 yards of matching ZegnaSilk fabric (enough for two custom suits).

Michael and I say our goodbyes, and as I exit I imagine encountering this marvel in my garage each morning: the soft hand of the ZegnaSilk fabric, the contrast from smooth aluminum to burled walnut, the scent of luxury leather, and premium surround sound emanating from the Bowers and Wilkins audio system. But mostly, I imagine getting lost in the simple act of driving. After all, a guy can dream…
