Luxury Essentials

Mercedes is rolling out the next generation of its Mbrace in-vehicle communications system (cloud-based services), Mbrace2, set to ship out in the new SL Class cars in March.

Mbrace2 will incorporate social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Yelp and Google to enhance the overall driving experience…and to compete with the expanding technology in automobiles! Unlike Ford’s amazing MyTouch, however, Mbrace2 will not feature a touch screen. So…if someone were to hijack your Mercedes or Mercedes rental, could they hijack your Facebook account? This could be huge!

The exotic vehicle rumor mill is rampant with rumors that rapper Jay Z has quite the awesome luxury SUV on his wish list: an armored Dartz Prombron. I love his taste in luxury cars, especially the Bugatti Veyron birthday gift from wifey, Beyoncé!

Professional skier Jon Olsson is a problem-solver of epic proportions! He has managed to flawlessly combine his two favorite things, skiing and exotic cars, by commissioning a Lamborghini capable of transporting his pricey skiing equipment.

Forget about a special parking garage or premium private slot and picture this: You survive South Florida rush hour and arrive home to your Sunny Isles condo. You pull into a designated space and turn off the engine. You are then free to take in the Oceanfront view as you are taken directly to your door. This is similar to the house with car storage in the living room, like a centerpiece!

Every inch of the Ducati 1199 Panigale is agile and awesome, watch in the video below as the driver strategically takes out chess pieces along a racetrack. It is bone-chilling to watch how close the driver’s knee comes to the pavement at such high speeds in order to knock over the chess pieces! I hear knee-replacement surgery is quite painful. I wonder if this model will make it into the Pope’s Ducati motorcade?


Ducati has spared no expense promoting the 1199 Panigale, and it is easy to understand why! This is a superbike that essentially doubles as a piece of art that will move you. The Superquadro in the 1199 is touted as the most powerful twin-cylinder production engine available for unparalleled performance perfection that easily allows drivers to become parallel with the pavement!

The successor to the Lamborghini Gallardo may be primed for takeoff, but the long-running model has one more round left in it: the LP550-2 spyder. Perched on 19-inch alloy rims with Pirelli P Zero performance rubber, this topless Bull packs 543 horsepower capable of hitting 198 miles per hour and looking fantastic in the process! The Gallardo reigns as the best-selling Lamborghini of all time, so it leaves tracks that will be a challenge to trace.

Get a feel for a legend when you rent a Lamborghini Gallardo from Imagine Lifestyles!

The fabulous Forgiato Wheels has released photos of the first Bugatti Veyron to hit the streets on aftermarket wheels, following the Lamborghini Reventon. Should a Bugatti ever be altered from its original form--What do you think of the custom wheels on the matte white Veyron? Forgiato video at bottom of post.

What do you picture when you think about renting a vehicle? Sure, there are standard rental vehicles and even exotic rental vehicles, but did you know you could also steer down memory lane with a vintage vehicle rental? Before you ask--no, Jay Leno’s classic car fleet is not available…unless, perhaps, you show up in a denim shirt to ask him.

The past two years has seen a revival of the luxury market, once seemingly on hold. The economic downturn has not necessarily affected the wealthy, yet they did alter spending habits for a few months to avoid appearing boastful. Lately, however, the luxury lifestyle is back, shameless and cutting edge!

Global sales of luxury goods hit an amazing $254 billion in 2011, and it seems Chinese women buy luxury cars the fastest, shelling out cash for Maserati’s and other top-of-the-line automobiles.

The China luxury car market is fueled by females, too
