Upcoming Miami Events

While the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO may be one of the world’s most coveted collector cars, the ultra-rare 330 GTO may be worth more. Ferrari made just two examples of the 4-liter V12 330s, and now one will be on display at the 2012 Concours d’Elegance in Amelia Island, Florida, giving gawkers a rare glimpse at an even rarer exotic slice of history! This car even has a bit of luxury racing experience, which only makes it cooler.

If you are hitting the 2011 Miami Beach Art Basel, the endless procession of events and “can’t miss” flyers can be enough to overwhelm the sturdiest of art-lovers. Seriously though…last year I was reduced to a quivering heap of panic somewhere along the shoreline, frantically wondering if my plan to forgo a plan of action was smart…it wasn’t.

Preparations are under way!

One of our favorite luxury auto brands, BMW, is poised to create a jolt at this year’s Miami Art Basel with the BMW i luxury hybrid car! BMW is to support the 10th annual eclectic event, perhaps the most prestigious annual event to hit our shoreline from December 1st-4th, 2011. So how exactly does the brand intend to up the ante this year?
   
For the fans, clear your schedule for Friday, December 2nd and attend BMW’s “The Future of Design & Sustainability” event, where you can absorb the details of the BMW i electric car and a tasty cocktail. There will be an exclusive press event with Benoit Jacob during that time!

Miami is in-line with Las Vegas mentality when it comes to sleep…we are up all night, as are many late-night hotspots! One particular annual event is always a hit, Sleepless Night Miami.

You can also breath in peppermint-scented oxygen, a welcome change from predominant tobacco products! This is a luxury travel tip fit for all.
