We have to hand it to Neiman Marcus. The luxury retailer is turning heads once again with its annual Christmas Book. This year's most expensive Fantasy Gift? A commissioned one-of-one electric Cadillac CELESTIQ Carmen with a price tag that's just shy of a million ($975,000). To put things in perspective, in 2021, the Christmas catalog offered a $285,000 electric Hummer and in 2022, a $330,000 Barbie X Maserati Grecale Trofeo SUV.
Of course the Cadillac CELESTIQ is the automaker's new all-electric sedan, the most technologically advanced vehicle Cadillac's ever made. More than a hand-built vehicle, Neiman's describes the bespoke all-electric CELESTIQ Carmen as "unlike anything available, with a redefined, futuristic spirit created by the visionary Cadillac design team."

Inside you'll find a 55” pillar-to-pillar HD LED display, an individualized four-zone microclimate system and a SmartGlass panoramic roof that can be customized to each passenger's preference. Plus, it's equipped with GM's Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology.

The purchaser and a guest also receive a two-day trip to Detroit for a behind-the-scenes Cadillac Carmen CELESTIQ Experience, exclusively for Neiman Marcus. They'll see how a bespoke vehicle is created and visit the Cadillac House design studio with a Harry Bertoia wall curated art installation. And how cool is this. They'll also get to observe their CELESTIQ Carmen being hand-built at the Cadillac Artisan Center. All of this comes of course with a luxury hotel stay and dinners at award-winning restaurants as the purchaser and guest take an exclusive, ultra-luxury curated journey through culinary, art, and design experiences grounded in Detroit’s rich heritage and recent renaissance.
With the purchase of the One of One Cadillac Carmen CELESTIQ Fantasy Gift, Cadillac will donate $25,000 to Detroit Opera House, which engages artists from around the world for main stage and outreach performances and provides compelling cultural enrichment programs for the diverse audiences and communities that it serves.
