Posted on by Imagine Lifestyles

It should come as no surprise that celebrities will rent mansions from time to time. Not everyone wants to settle down in one location, and many have a hard time paying $25 million at one time just to call themselves a homeowner. Instead, the A-listers decide to rent around the United States for a few months at a time. They settle into luxury in a variety of different mansions, providing marble, chandeliers, high-end appliances, and spectacular views.

Porsche Design Tower

While it would seem that beachfront property would have little trouble selling itself, marketers have been forced to become quite creative following the economic downturn years ago. The Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles, Florida, is a shining beacon of that willingness to go further. The luxury design tower is already nearly sold out, because who wouldn’t want an elevator to deliver their car directly to their door?

The exclusive Porsche Design Tower is located in Sunny Isles, which is just a few blocks north of South Beach. Because South Florida is a preferred playground for the wealthy, what better place for the towers?

RM Sotheby’s

Luxury auction house Sotheby’s has acquired an ownership interest in RM Auctions, creating a dynamic duo of great magnitude now dubbed ‘RM Sotheby’s’. Their first joint sale took place in Florida last month with a record $60 million in collector cars changing hands.

Sotheby’s and RM Auctions: Game, set and match. 

Sotheby’s now owns a 25 percent share in RM Auctions in a long-term investment strategy to cater to the burgeoning market. Analysts peg the market for collector cars at a staggering $2 billion, making the partnership a seemingly wise move in terms of creating a larger fishing net than those wielded by competing auction houses. This is not the first time the pair has joined forces—recall the ‘Art of the Automobile’ auction back in 2013. That team effort ended in $63 million in sales in just 2 hours, with the Ferrari 250 LM going for $14.3 million. That sale and a few other joint efforts were but the beginning of this now legal union, which is certain to flourish as the economy continues to regain strength. read more

Barn finds are always fascinating, but this one tops most! Check out this video of 100 rare exotic cars unearthed in a French barn! The stockpile of Ferrari sports cars, Bugatti models and more is simply astounding!


The clip above shows the loot discovered in a barn in France. The collection likely left it’s discoverer awestruck! Just 60 of the 100 cars will make it to auction.

The collection of abandoned exotic cars belonged to the late Roger Baillon. It was trusted to the classic car department of a French auction house, where buyers can opt to restore the vehicles and get them back out onto the roads or simply preserve them for future generations. Baillon was in the transportation industry, and it was reported that he hoped to restore the collection and display them in a museum. The collection of cars was closer to 200 at one point, but half were sold in the late 1970s when his business took a turn from profitability. read more

Free Lamborghini

If you live in Dubai and are in the market for a home and a sweet ride, there is a bizarre deal on the table! An ambitious real estate developer is looking to lure a buyer for a $15 million dollar penthouse by offering a free Lamborghini with purchase. There you go, housing and exotic sports car crisis solved. I assume a free parking spot is also part of the deal. 

The offer of the free Lamborghini with purchase of penthouse is from Damac Properties. The vehicle is not just a regular Lamborghini, but the swanky new(ish) $400,000 Aventador. This is, of course, because those in Dubai typically drive only the latest and greatest in supercars, and even a Dubai license plate must have desirable digits to avoid public shame. read more
