The Luxury Lifestyle Continues to Thrive

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.

Top 10 Pics of India’s Insane Infrastructure & Lamborghini’s Approach to that Market!

While some see cavernous potholes on India’s roads, Lamborghini sees opportunity. With a surging new crop of millionaires eagerly buying luxury items, Lamborghini has created a clever way to draw attention to their fleet of exotic sports cars. The rumor is that Lamborghini is fitting India units with a specialized “lifting system” to better scale the rugged roadways along with the ability to run on regular gasoline and high-octane fuel. These cars are so low to the ground that a lifting system would be awesome on our Lamborghini rentals…you can get one caught on a discarded coffee cup.

In case you are unfamiliar with the harsh reality that is India’s infrastructure…the above photo is quite accurate.

The point is, luxury carmakers are doing very well, especially Ferrari & Rolls Royce.
