A millionaire Suffolk businessman has passed away, leaving a surprise in his barn.  Apparently, the man grew bored with his fleet of exotic cars, and simply left them in a barn for about 20 years collecting dust.  Well, what failed to pique his interest has certainly grabbed ours!

Yes, the seven luxury cars were discovered after the deceased man’s family suggested the auctioneer might want to examine “the old cars in the barn”.  By old cars, they meant:

If you are joining us here in sunny Miami for Super Bowl 44 in 3 weeks, you may still be scrambling for transportation options.  We have mentioned our fleet of exotic rental cars for Super Bowl week before, but now want to highlight the fact that some of them can be chauffeured, freeing you up to take in the city without ever having to sober up long enough to ask for directions.

The following are great supercars that can be chauffeured:

•    Bentley Arnage Collection
•    Cadillac Escalade
•    Rolls-Royce Phantom

Everyone has heard the old saying “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”, and we at Imagine Lifestyles say the same sentiment rings true for Miami. 

Before you protest, let us begin by saying WE LOVE VEGAS…maybe more than we should, but there is an equally magnetic force at work in Miami.  So here is our challenge to our fans:
 
Describe this energetic Miami/South Beach force in a creative way that depicts Miami in the same light as Vegas.  Remember that we do not mean it is necessarily better than Vegas, but certainly equal.  Be sure to include what you “must do” while in Miami (in Vegas of course you must gamble). 

We at Imagine Lifestyles have an advantage on our competitors (if you care to grace them with that title)…while most place their automotive existence on the fact that they specialize specifically on one brand; we have the distinct advantage of owning them all.

Yes.  We literally own and drive most exotic car brands.  Every new model that manages to burst from “concept” to “manufacture” status, we experience and judge first-hand.  And while most never make it to a slot in our exclusive exotic rental car fleet, they often make an impression on us, and many of our fans.

1. Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
2. Cadillac Escalade
3. Porsche 911 Convertible

When it comes to maintaining superior standards of customer service, the people at Bentley truly surprised us with their level of luxury dedication. 

An icon with an illustrious past, Bentley Motors has unveiled its latest addition-The Mulsanne.  The Bentley Mulsanne is a luxury grand touring car conceived, styled and engineered entirely at Bentley’s Crewe, England headquarters. 

A topless transition from the Veyron, the new Bugatti Grand Sport will set you back a stratospheric $2 million dollars.  The design is elegant, not intimidating, and the interior engulfs driver and passenger in luxury.  The interior leather is pure of grain, originating from Alpine bovines raised at altitudes high enough to lack the insect pests that would mar their skin.  Now that is smooth.

Impressed yet?  This luxury car is capable of a cool blast-off from zero to 62 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds.  If you press the accelerator for seven seconds, you can become a blur reaching speeds of over 125 miles per hour-leaving gawkers to wonder "What is that?"  You could conceivably go 188 miles per hour, but would require a fuel stop every ten minutes.  The EPA economy numbers are not a concern to potential buyers, renters or owners of this exotic beast, but for the record they are 8-mpg city, 14-mpg highway. 

This  ridiculously racy car demands attention, and definitely gets it in spades.  This is one of the most expensive, exclusive, and fastest production cars on earth.  A delicious sight and an almost devious experience to encounter, the Bugatti Grand Sport could qualify as one of the wonders of the world.  Other savvy selections and recommendations for exotic sports convertible rentals include the Aston Martin V8 Vantage rental, the Bentley GTC convertible rental, and the Ferrari F430 Spyder rental.

While we love Bentley and the luxury that the brand represents, there are always a few quirks here and there with all luxury cars.  The Bentley GT-C, for example, has a few slight irritations on its otherwise impeccable record:

•    Gas tank release tends to stick
•    Cup holders in odd location
•    Convertible top malfunction light may appear if you try to put the top down while the car is in motion

While none of these define a Bentley by any means, they are simply small problems that can cause annoyance in a luxury car (call us spoiled).  Bentley is an impressive luxury brand with an overall reputation for flawless fun and escape.

The best place to rent a luxury Bentley is in South Beach, of course.  In Miami, there is never a shortage of indulgent amenities to occupy you and your family.  One amenity being a Miami luxury rental car, ideal for soaking in all the fun South Beach has to offer.

There is nothing like the opulence of South Florida, South Beach in particular.  The beachside resort-style community is famed for its Caribbean/Atlantic waters, impeccable location and luxurious nightlife.  And whether you are slipping into stilettos or into a Bentley, one thing is for certain, turning heads is just more fun in South Beach!
