The Official Ferrari Opus Diamonds

Would you rather own a brand spanking new Ferrari exotic car, or the Official Ferrari Opus…a book that costs around $50,000 more than the car?  Yes, the Ferrari 458 Italia, the latest model from the marquee, comes with a price tag of around $225,325, but the Ferrari Opus is around $275,000.  Of course there is always the option of a Ferrari rental Miami style for far less…or ten new Prius sissy cars.

Most Expensive: $1500 Ferrari Emblems

Ferrari emblem

Shoulder of Ferrari where the pricey emblems are placed

You already know that in order to play you must pay, in most cases.  This theory definitely extends to the world of exotic cars, with a shiny example being the price of even a Ferrari emblem.  So you have just dropped a quarter million on a flashy new Ferrari….so what…that will just be an additional $1500 for that shoulder emblem you want.   Wait, what?

Oh yes, even the smallest signature parts of a luxury car or exotic rental car Miami equal big bucks, so if you want to buy one, know that you will pony up…for your prancing pony.  Aside from the hefty investment of the actual exotic car purchase, which can be anywhere from a quarter of a million and up, many do not realize the additional costs associated with properly maintaining a luxury car like a Ferrari.

Despite Fiery Explosions, the Ferrari 458 Italia Nabs Robb Report’s “2011 Car of the Year”

Ferrari 458 Italia Awards

In spite of a string of exploding models and fires that stirred up negative media attention for the all-new prancing pony, the 458 Italia is hot off the press again, this time for snagging the “2011 Car of the Year” from the Robb Report. 

To defend Ferrari, a favorite brand of ours, the issue was resolved quickly and no lives were lost.  The culprit of the Ferrari 458 fires was discovered to be a new adhesive that was burning up at high speeds (follow link for full story).  Ferrari is replacing the handful of 458 models that caught on fire, and the hot issue has been corrected for all future models.

Ferrari Reaches Out To Soccer Moms

Everyone knows a soccer mom, and most people would stereotype what kind of car they drive pretty easily.  However, Ferrari is making a play to throw that stereotype way out of line.  Granted, most soccer moms don’t drive $300,000 cars to pick the kids up but at least they will soon have the option.

Ferrari FF

The FF, or Ferrari Four, will soon be available for purchase and is quite a stretch from the Ferrari’s all of our Imagine Lifestyles branches are used to driving.  This car will feature Ferrari’s first all-wheel drive system, and is coming along due to the recent popularity of 4 seat or 4 door sports cars.  Just look at the popularity of the Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panamera and it becomes obvious why Ferrari is following suit.  From first glance, Imagine Lifestyles Chicago branch would have to say our Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide are much more gentle on the eye though. We are still deciding if Imagine Lifestyles will add this to our fleet of Chicago Ferrari rental cars
