80 Percent of Luxury Cars to Become Hybrids?

JLR Luxury Cars

According to the bosses of Jaguar-Land Rover, a projected 8 out of 10 luxury vehicles will become hybrids over the next decade.  Dr. Ralph Speth, JLR’s CEO, confirmed this theory in a story called ‘What Car’. 

Presently, luxury hybrid technology and electric car efforts are creeping along, slowly and to a market that is a bit timid to invest.  I feel that the future will hold a larger amount of luxury hybrid cars, electric cars and even electric luxury rental cars, but think that it may take a bit longer than ten years.

Too Expensive for LeBron James: $60 Million Dollar Miami Mansion

Video: Most Expensive Miami Mansion

 

Ok, so the statement that the $60 million dollar Miami mansion is too expensive for LeBron James is a rumor, but the price tag is quite factual (and LeBron is doing alright for himself in Miami).  Listed by The Jills, this Miami luxury property is the highest priced property ever listed in Miami-Dade County, and even the Lady herself would go Gaga over the spread!  Let’s just hope she does not end up in her egg on the manicured front lawn…I feel that one of our exotic rental cars Miami style would be more appropriate out front.

As the luxury car markets emerge in China and India, luxury carmakers are working to keep up with the demand. Those who live in Chennai, India, for example, will wait an estimated 500 days for their new Porsche, as each car is custom made.  That is over a year…I hope there are a variety of Porsche rentals available to hold residents over until their Porsches are delivered!  Exotic car rentals make everything better.

Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason to Drum Up Exotic Car Investment Returns

Nick Mason Pink Floyd

When he isn’t busy being the drummer for Pink Floyd, Nick Mason is an avid classic and luxury auto enthusiast.  Mason is on an advisory board of IGA Automobile LP, an investment group that is interested in purchasing $150 million worth of classic and exotic cars to gain a 15% ROA.  It is possibly the first classic-car fund that is poised for returns, rather than a passion for automobiles.

Mason has a passion for fast cars, luxury cars and likely exotic rental cars when traveling and has competed in the Le Mans 24 Hours race five times, and is likely not short on cash, so this is a surprising move.  In his garage lurk the likes of Ferrari, Porsche 962, Bentley, Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Bugatti.  A new machine, indeed.
