This luxury SUV appears to have been based on a simple cardboard box…just replace the cardboard with carbon fiber. Oh, and slap on a price tag of $1 million smackeroos. Meet the Mercedes G-Couture.
This SUV is not only an eyesore; it makes no logical sense, yet there it is. Yet, it does please me greatly that companies are willing to add luxurious carbon fiber to SUVs, it will not only look great, but lighten the gas-guzzling load and lower environmental impact.
In my humble opinion, the G-Class SUV still bears too much of a resemblance to its original tank-ish beginnings. Now it is a tank with a luxury badge, and demands a heavy wallet. Now let’s get down to specs!
Engine: 5.7-liter supercharged (I love that word)
Power/Torque: 700 bhp
Top Speed: 158 miles per hour
0-60 Mark: 4.3 seconds
Fuel Economy: Don’t ask
Competition: Lunar Shuttle, Brabus G-Wagon, TechArt Magnum, Chuck Norris
This Labor Day weekend things will be scorching as usual in South Florida, especially Miami! For those of you looking for a hot weekend slam packed with hot celebs and events, look no further than ‘No Sleep Till Miami’, a music infused event being held September 1st-5th in Miami Beach.
How does a company such as Bentley, makers of some of the finest automobiles in the World, outdo itself? Most who have seen or been lucky enough to drive the new Mulsanne would point directly to their latest creation and just smile. Design Director Dirk van Braeckel successfully integrated hints of classic Bentleys into a completely contemporary shape. Viewing from the front, one might assume they are looking at a Rolls Royce Phantom until you notice the trademark B on the hood. The design from the roof into the wide back end might remind some of the Continental R’s of the 90’s but the larger doors and pillars bring in elements of the more modern Flying Spur. This Bentley truly is one like you have never seen before even though it has some recognizable characteristics from Bentley’s of yesterday. This may be the perfect sedan to add to a Chicago exotic rental cars fleet.
I bet these celebs wish they could get behind the wheel of one of our cars, and now they can. For free. Well, almost free. We would, of course, want a video testimonial expressing how badass it was to peel through South Beach in one of our sumptuous luxury cars.
So, will the real celebs please stand up, and take us up on our offer? Sit down Kayne, we will let you finish later.

The Lamborghini Gallardo rental car is Lamborghini’s most-produced model ever made by the company. Named after a famous breed of fighting bull, the Lamborghini Gallardo provides plenty of power for the lucky owner or client. Our Gallardo exotic rental car has an advanced six-speed transmission, which enables much faster and easier shifting for the driver. The electro-hydraulically controlled transmission is controlled as the driver shifts with paddles located just behind the steering wheel. The Gallardo also has the option of being driven in an automatic mode as well as an automatic sport mode giving the driver a plethora of options. Take a test drive in this exotic rental car this weekend in Chicago.
 While you are testing our Lamborghin stay awhile and check out our fleet of Chicago exotic rental cars.
So you are rollin’ in a Rolls Royce luxury car, you big shot. If you are lucky enough to slide behind the wheel of one of the world’s finest exotic cars, including a Rolls Royce or Rolls Royce rental, we hope you exercise better judgment than some of the individuals in this video!
1. This classic Rolls Royce found its way into a swimming pool! While this appears to be an upscale property, no one wants to see about $400,000 to $500,000 saturated with chlorine…I can only assume alcohol played a role in this disaster!
2. I do not believe that Rolls Royce was consulted prior to this custom paint disaster. This custom Rolls Royce paintjob could not be further from the classic look the company is known for, going instead for a loud and racy circus feel-a true eyesore! If this were a Rolls Royce rental, I have a feeling it would eventually sport spider webs in that luxury grille and a nice coat of dust.
3. A Rolls sporting huge Mariah Carey likenesses…enough said. What’s next, a Mary-Kay Rolls in fuchsia?
4. This Rolls seems to have rolled its way into the house…as a decoration? A true brand fan can be quite quirky when it comes to expressing love for their choice of luxury cars.
5. It seems that this owner failed to realize that a luxury supercar like a Rolls Royce is exquisite enough on its own, and that an intricate paintjob like this is a complete overkill!
6. Check out this Rolls Royce! It doubles as a snow-sled! Are you kidding me?
7. Just what every exotic and luxury rental car fanatic has been waiting for-the safari edition Rolls Royce! Barbie would be jealous.
8. This is what can happen if you carelessly park your $400,000 luxury car in the wrong neighborhood! If you can afford a Rolls, you can afford to valet.
9. This Rolls resembles a hearse, and also doubles as a U-Haul, what more can you ask for?
10. Again, leaving that much money perched at a parking meter is just inviting disaster…a jealous passerby could scratch it, or it could be door-dinged, costing thousands in retouching. This is not a Honda Accord; it is a freaking Rolls Royce and should be protected like one!
Own a luxury car and ache to realize its full potential? Take it to the track! It is absolutely astounding how many drivers and owners (yes, you may also try a luxury rental car at a track) fail to realize that they can take their dream machines to an actual racetrack and enjoy them in their element.
So now that we all know that you do not have to be a famous racecar driver to hit the track, let’s talk about why it is awesome. First off, there is nowhere else that enables a driver to pick up advanced skills more safely and rapidly.
On a racetrack, you can (legally) obtain a feel for what your luxury car is actually capable of, in a controlled environment that provides more safety. Perhaps long ago it was acceptable to carve into the side of a mountain with your bitch-fast car, as there was less traffic, law enforcement, and punishments, but now it is advised against. So a smoke-signal to my fellow driving enthusiasts to take your performance cars to the track is in order!
If you are a luxury car enthusiast, you may also love luxury car memorabilia. For the Porsche lovers, German luxury publisher tenuous is about to unleash a limited edition book on the famous brand accompanied by a signed and numbered photographic print. All of this can be yours, for the bargain price of $3,000.
Only 50 copies of The Porsche Book collector’s edition will be released and it boasts some of the most stunning Porsche images captured in the world. Some of the images were taken by designer Frank M. Orel, and others were selected by him, but all have passed his critical expert eye and made it into the book. Orel collaborated with the Porsche Museum team in Stuttgart, Germany on the luxury masterpiece of memorabilia, both adding their passion and perspective to the project.
Students at DeLaSalle School in Missouri were fortunate to have the elite assistance of Bridgestone America when they created the most energy efficient electric car to date (according to claims).
So how efficient is the auto? Reports claim this car can obtain 300 miles per gallon, a figure that has me run over. If this is true it is certainly a milestone for Bridgestone and the students, who have already applied for a slot in the prestigious Guinness Book of World Records.
The car has been designed, engineered and tested both at Bridgestone’s technical center in Ohio and racetrack in Texas. It is built on the chassis of a 2000 Lola Indy F1-style racing car. That is about where the similarity ends! It has been extensively customized with extremely lightweight materials, frame and a unique see-through plastic body.
Attention Steve McQueen and Porsche fans, a rare 1970’s Porsche racecar just destroyed the auction block, fetching a stunning $3,965,000 million at Bonhams & Butterfield’s in Monterey. This also shatters the world-record for the most expensive Porsche ever sold at auction. Let’s find out why.
The Porsche is actually a historic and rare ex-Jurgen, similar to the one sported by Steve McQueen in Le Mans. It is a 1970 Gulf-JWA Le Mans 917K Porsche Interserie Spyder, so try saying that three times fast. Racecars generally boast lengthy names, in efforts to give credit to various people or innovation.
