Typically used when talking about a new car because you, the owner, cheaped out on the options list! Example? The 3-series BMW with the smallest engine, 15 inch plain tires, bottom-end awful sound system with no auxiliary input, no navigation, zero-additional-options is a "poverty-spec" BMW.
Can be used to refer to almost any car...
...Note this does not apply to ultra high end cars that are AWESOME regardless of options. What kind of car does not exist in poverty-spec? Eg. Porsche 911 Turbo. Opinions may vary.

Dude, why'd your dad get that brand-new poverty-spec Corolla? For that $10,000 he could've gotten a nice fully-equipped Lexus on the used market!

Poverty Spec is a term used when someone orders or purchases a car from a brand typically known for their higher end clientele (Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover, etc..) with very few options. This is done so the purchaser will seem more wealthy than they actually are.
An example of a "poverty spec" car is a Mercedes C class with just the lighting options to make the badge glow and project the emblem onto the ground under the doors. These cars typically have little to no options other than those that show off the brand.
Please note that this usually can't really apply to super high end cars like Mclarens, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris just to name a few, but it is still possible.

"Dude did you see that fancy Benz drive by?"
"Yeah, but it's a poverty spec C class, it only had the base 4 cylinder and illuminated badging."
