PRECIOUS METAL Let’s go shopping
By ART STEVENS Every once in awhile we drive into a gas
station or shopping mall and the rare and unique design of an exotic automobile suddenly grabs our attention. What makes these luxurious cars so unique is
their design, style and quality rather than a loud sound system or eye-popping paint scheme. Have you ever wondered how big a dent a Maserati, Bentley, Ferrari or Lotus can put in your lottery winnings?
Here’s a partial “guide” on some of the world’s most desirable cars.
Bentley The Grand Touring Bentley is called The
Mulsanne Bentley states: “New options are available
62 BOUNDER MAGAZINE
exclusively for Mulsanne, designed to further enhance the experience for rear cabin passengers: Entertainment Specification, incorporating elegant, electrically-deployed iPad picnic tables, WiFi, Naim audio and Rear Seat Entertainment. Privacy curtains, which are electrically deployable and fully integrated into both rear doors and rear windscreen surround, give the rear cabin a feeling of opulence and complete privacy from the outside world. And, now no longer limited by supply constraints, Frosted glass bottle cooler with bespoke crystal champagne flutes are once again available.” The Bentley Flying Spur W12: The six-litre W12 engine generates 616 horses taking the
Flying Spur W12 from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds to a top speed of 200 mph. Flying Spur W12 Milliner:. Bentley’s
website says “with a wealth of extra options, plus handcrafted sporting details throughout the car, the Flying Spur W12 Milliner continues the long tradition of personalization associated with the Milliner name.” The Flying Spur also comes as a V8, and
there is a Flying Spur V8 Milliner model. There are nine versions of the Continental,
ranging from GT coupes and GT V8 convertibles. Auto Guide lists “base” MSRP prices ranging
from $177,500 to $298,900 in USD. (We’re not sure of the amount charged for the optional crystal champagne flutes for the Mulsanne.)
Ferrari Ferrari Canada states that “each Ferrari
is unique” and lists two V12 models (the FF and F12berlinetta), and four V8 models (the 458 Spider; California T; 458 Italia and 458 Speciale). Incredible design, detailed craftsmanship and true performance is what Ferrari is all about. Base MSRP prices range from $198,000 to $340,000 but one can certainly personalize their purchase at additional cost. The F12berlinetta V12 engine delivers 720
horsepower at 8,250 r.p.m. All the specifications indicate this is one unique car! The FF stands for FOUR wheel drive and FOUR door. A true 650 horsepower V12 sports
