Bentley

Bentley is touting its badass side, offering up a new “Power on Ice” tour that allows customers to drive a Bentley over snow and ice. I suppose the brand feels it must compete with the likes of Ferrari and their Winter Driving Program, aimed to educate drivers on proper handling in all-weather conditions (follow link for full details and to see the Ferrari FF on ice!) Note: Bentleys can hit speeds of 205 mph on ice!

For thrill-seekers only!

In November of 2011, Daimler announced that it intends to axe one of the world’s most potent symbols of wealth—the Maybach. Volkswagen AG (owner of Bentley and Rolls Royce) sees the opportunity to approach some of Maybach’s wealthy clients, including Jay-Z, Samuel L. Jackson, King Juan Carlos, Roman Abramovich and the Sultan of Brunei to perhaps capitalize from the luxury car’s cancellation.

Significantly less husky than the cumbersome Mulsanne, the Bentley Continental has always been a hit. Now the brand is unleashing the 2013 Continental V8, and the videos are simply outstanding! View Bentley YouTube promotional video at bottom of post.

This may be a must-add to our fleet of exotic rental cars and would certainly stand out among our fleet of Bentley rentals. What do you think? Comment below.

Uh-oh! From the looks of this, there is about to be a celebrity throw down…I dub it the ‘Bentley Bash’. Paris Hilton has long been both praised and laughed at over her Pepto-Bismol pink custom Bentley…but she was the only one who had one. Cue Nicki Minaj arriving to the Grammy nomination concert in L.A. behind the wheel of her spanking new pink Bentley! Somewhere in the background, cue cats hissing.

Nicky looking pleased with her new set of wheels. The power of pink...it consumes some while nauseating others! 

Heading to Hawaii for vacation? Take this luxury travel tip from your friends at Imagine Lifestyles! Halekulani luxury hotel is offering an exotic automobile amenity program that puts guests behind the wheel of a luxury car during their stay. What is sweeter? If you stay in one of 3 of the hotel’s premier suites, usage of the car is free! Unbelievable.

I would stay here even without the complimentary luxury rental car perk! Outstanding view!

Traffic jams…hated by all…unless, of course, you find yourself confronted head-on by a gathering of supercars jammed together!  This scenario is not so bad. The video below shows around 150 exotic cars caught leaving Gurston House in England following…you guessed it…a supercar convoy! Video at bottom of post

There are so many brands represented, that it is similar to browsing through one of our luxury car rental locations!

Hey, Santa! You have been good all year…so don’t you deserve a gift that is all your own? I recommend an exotic rental car in Miami, New York, Chicago or Los Angeles this year!

BMW has steered its way into the liter-bike market with the S1000RR, which is perhaps what Bugatti would build if it entered the luxury bike market! It has been said that the BMW 1000RR is what a superbike should be, the real deal. Let’s look into why this bike could be badder than a Ducati…will we see the Pope’s Ducati fleet replaced by BMW?

The S1000RR is seemingly a flawless approach to true racing power paired with an electronics package that is second to none—a lethal combination.

Luxury carmaker Aston Martin is celebrating a milestone—no, not the creation of an all-new hybrid hoover-craft, just reaching 1 million fans on social-networking site Facebook. This leaves many to wonder…so what?

Facebook has become far more powerful than anyone had previously anticipated, now incorporated into marketing endeavors and more. For example, you can follow us on Imagine Lifestyles Facebook for real-time updates on your favorite models and available exotic car driving experiences. Enough shameless self-promotion…but is that not what Facebook is for? Back to the numbers game.

The first weekend of the Imagine Lifestyles Chicago track experience attracted thousands of exotic sports car fans and drivers! This accelerated event took place last weekend in Joliet, IL at the Auto house Speedway, where drivers and fans took advantage of a special offer to drive a supercar for just $159 USD!

The fleet lined up on the track

Bentley cars are certainly well-made, like this 1926 Red Label Vande Plas! This car has been meticulously maintained for 87 years and logged 1.5 million kilometers of luxury travel! What a wonderful display of longevity from one of the longest-running forerunners of exotic automobile brands. I wonder if any of our Bentley rentals in Chicago will log so many miles!

In a sale that may attract Paris Hilton, a special “Passion Pink” Bentley Continental GT is being sold to benefit “Susan G. Komen for the Cure". Wait…Paris already has a custom pink Bentley…and Katie Price a pink Bugatti. Stop the insanity, celebutantes!

Halloween happens to be my favorite holiday (along with millions of others), so I spent some time thinking about the ultimate costume accessory and decided a luxury car rental would trump the ensembles of all of my friends. Why not add some healthy competition to your holiday?

Here are the top 5 quirky celebrity Halloween costume ideas and their complimentary luxury rental car counterparts!
