The 612 Scaglietti seamlessly continued this tremendous success story since its debut in the fall of 2003. To make this extraordinary automobile even more exclusive and to add an even higher level of customization NOVITEC ROSSO now offers new accessories such as a customtailored tire/wheel combination with diameters of 20 and 21 inches, a power increase to 565 hp / 416 kW, a stainless-steel sport exhaust system, new taillight design and upgrades for the interior. Wheels make a car and for a Ferrari the best is just good enough. The NOVITEC ROSSO suspension specialists have developed custom versions of the three-piece NF3 alloy wheels for the Italian sports car. 15 The new wheels feature a striking design with five double spokes and polished outer flanges. Contrary to the 19-inch production wheels, the 612 Scaglietti in NOVITEC ROSSO trim sports a combination of size 9Jx20 wheels in front and size 12.5Jx21 rims on the rear axle. This measure benefits not only the driving dynamics of the car but also and foremost the coupe’s appearance. The staggered wheels further emphasize the wedge-shaped design of the two-door car. In the P Zero tire technology partner Pirelli offers the perfect ultra-high-performance tires for this tire/wheel combination that makes optimal use of the available space in the wheel wells Tires in size 275/30 ZR 20 on the front axle provide enormous grip during fast cornering and hard braking. Tires in size 355/25 R 21 on the rear axle allow even higher cornering speeds and provide maximum traction. www.luxuryautodirect.com 16 Further cornerstones of the NOVITEC ROSSO program for the 612 Scaglietti are a power increase and an even sportier exhaust note. The inner workings of the V12 engine with a displacement of 5,748 cm³ remain untouched. The power increase to 565 hp / 416 kW at 7,290 rpm is the product of a newly calibrated engine management system and the NOVITEC ROSSO stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system. The tuning gives the V12 engine an even crisper response and lets it rev up even faster. Simultaneously peak torque grows to 609 Nm at 5,300 rpm. A top speed of more than 325 km/h and a sprint time for 0 – 100 km/h of just 3.9 seconds make the 2+2-seater an even more dominant sports car. www.luxuryautodirect.com 17 The NOVITEC ROSSO sport exhaust system is an integral part of the power increase and produces a truly delightful exhaust note. The NOVITEC ROSSO exhaust is easily distinguished by its four 90-mm tailpipes cut at an angle. NOVITEC ROSSO upgrades the four-seat interior according to customers’ personal preferences. The ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel comes in any color imaginable. But that’s not all: Customers can also freely choose the steering wheel’s material as well as the thickness of the rim. The rim is flattened at the bottom for easier entering and exiting of the vehicle. NOVITEC ROSSO interiors are characterized by precision finish and striking colors. But NOVITEC ROSSO realizes not only Ferrari owners’ personal material and color selections, it custom-tailors the seat to each customer’s body measurements. Special requests such as for seats with even more lateral support or a lowered seat position for especially tall drivers round out the interior customization program. • www.luxuryautodirect.com 18 Nav-TV™, an international leader in OEM vehicle network integration technology for infotainment and telematics device optimization, is pleased to announce compatibility with Apple™ iPhone 4, as well as other iPod and iPhone devices running iOS 4, for their entire line of Tooki Bluetooth and OPI iPod integration modules. “As soon as the Apple™ iOS 4 operating system became available, we proactively began internal validation of the new software platform to determine compatibility with our Tooki Bluetooth and OPI iPod integration modules. After extensive testing, our current Tooki and OPI units operated perfectly with iOS 4 although we still needed to wait until the new iPhone 4 became available to add compatibility. We are pleased to announce that iPhone 4 has been validated and is 100% compatible,” stated NAV-TV Engineer, Tony Yankovsky. Tooki is a field upgradeable, hands free Bluetooth integration module available for Audi, Maserati, Mercedes Benz and Porsche vehicles utilizing a Parrot™ Bluetooth chip set. For compatibility with iOS4 and iPhone 4, all Tooki modules must be upgraded to Parrot™ software version 3.12 and have current NAV-TV Tooki software.

This exciting event is a mixture of an exotic & supercar rally, nightlife parties, celebrities, DJ’s, and 100 VIP participants…It’s not a rally, it’s a lifestyle.” Truer words have never been spoken. The Goldrush rally is a 5 day event produced by the creators of Luxury4Play, www.l4p.com, the world’s premier online community of enthusiasts with interests in fine automobiles, boating, aviation, timepieces, cigars, cuisine and all things luxury. The Goldrush Rally’s inaugural event, held in 2009, was conceived as an event to bring L4P members together to enjoy their passions on the road and in luxurious venues in San Fransisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. This past June, GR2KX expanded to 5 cities, kicking off in Seattle with a party stop in Portland, Oregon before the SF, LA and LV stops. With over 100 participating vehicles, including dozens of Ferraris and Lamborghinis as well as numerous exotics ranging from a replica 427 Cobra to the ultra exclusive SCC Ultimate Aero, the Goldrush was a spectacle of success everywhere it went. As Luxury 4 Play’s premier sponsor, it was only natural that WTW Inc., the manufacturers of Luxury Wheel Brands Giovanna, Gianelle, GFG Forged and Koko Kuture, assume the role of Exclusive Platinum Sponsor for GR2KX. Securing this sponsorship deal meant that every Goldrush participating vehicle would be decked out with huge gold Giovanna Logos. WTW President and CEO, Diko Sulahian would never be content to let a group of like-minded enthusiasts rip up the roads of the West coast wearing his daughter’s name on their cars without joining in on the fun himself! Diko planned on kicking GR2KX off in style in Seattle and driving a different vehicle from his stable on each leg of the rally. Life proved ever-unpredictable for the wheel industry magnate as meetings with international customers kept him in his Southern California headquarters a couple days longer than anticipated, meaning he would have to join the Goldrush at its San Francisco destination, the Fremont Hotel. www.luxuryautodirect.com 24 Diko arrived to the hotel to find his ride for the SF-LA leg of the rally already waiting for him in its VIP spot out front. That ride was his brand spanking new Porsche Panamera Turbo, replete with massive 22” GFG Forged Gavar wheels. Diko had only acquired the car days earlier and had only driven the car once prior to leading the parade of exotic hardware to start the voyage to Los Angeles. Diko was amazed with the car’s performance, keeping pace with Lamborghini Gallardos on the freeway and through the twisty backroads, thanks to the massive footprints of the GFG wheels and Pirelli rubber. Diko and the Panamera arrived at the Goldrush’s LA destination, the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills without a hiccup, ready to relax. Los Angeles has a reputation as a party paradise, second only to maybe Las Vegas and the SLS disappoint. As the late Tupac Shakur once noted, California knows how to party. And party they did, the 100 or so Goldrush participants, accompanied by an additional 200 or so revelers, making this the marquis event of the rally. www.luxuryautodirect.com 25 After a late night of partying, the next morning’s scheduled 8am departure was no easy feat, but the Goldrush warriors peeled themselves out of bed and strapped into their exotic chariots, ready to storm the desert. Leading the charge again was Diko, this time with the newest vehicle in his arsenal, the just-released Mercedes SLS AMG. Even hardcore automotive aficionados had yet to even see the new Gullwing in the flesh, but Diko’s not one to roll stock, so the first SLS that many folks laid eyes on was this masterpiece in Goldrush livery and beautiful GFG 3pc forged wheels. The wheels are 20” front and 21” rear, a perfect +1 fitment compared to the stock 19”/20” setup. The GFG Medellin wheel centers were custom painted Mercedes Obsidian black to match the car’s metallic paint, providing the car with a much more intimidating appearance while Continental tires provide added grip. After testing the limits of that adhesion with a few hot laps on the track at Spring Mountain Motorsports Park in Pahrump, Diko and the Goldrush gang cruised to their Las Vegas home base, the beautiful brand new Mandarin Oriental hotel. The hotel provided a striking background for the exotic automobiles that filled its valet area. The hotel’s Sky Lobby and rooms were equally impressive, but fter a quick rest, it was off to Tao, in the Venetian, for the Goldrush awards banquet and cocktails, followed by another debaucherous all-night party at the beautiful outdoor lounge, Tao Beach. The Goldrush proved to be a unique event bringing together a diverse group of automotive enthusiasts with a passion for life and the best it has to offer. As soon as the rally ended, its survivors were nostalgic about the amazing experience they had just had and already clearing their schedules for the following year. These pictures cover just a couple chapters of an amazing tale that words could never do justice and if you had to ask any GR2KX participants what the rally was all about, the likely answer would be “Shhhh….just let it happen.” • www.luxuryautodirect.com 28 www.luxuryautodirect.com 29 www.luxuryautodirect.com 30 www.luxuryautodirect.com 31 On a beautiful sunny day at 25 degrees the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport achieved a new landspeed world record for production cars, on the proving grounds of the Volkswagen Group at Ehra-Lessien (nearby its headquarters at Wolfsburg). In the presence of the German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV) and a representative of Guinness Book of Records the Super Sport achieved an average top speed of 431 km/h. Saturday, 2 pm – Bugatti’s Pilote Officiel Pierre Henri Raphanel puts his helmet and gloves on, pulls the safety belts tight whilst the engineers check the car a very last time: tyre pressure, temperature, all systems go. Then the orange black Super Sport crosses the light barrier, from now on the time will be taken, within one hour the car has to drive from South to North and then in the opposite direction. www.luxuryautodirect.com 32 No one but the driver is allowed to touch the car during this time. The tension rises. A few minutes later we can hear from the left side the sound of a starting jumbo jet coming closer towards us. First we perceive the headlights of the Veyron, then we can recognize the shape of the car, a loud wooosh…. and Raphanel dashes in top speed past us. The GPS-tachometer stops at 427, 933 km/h. Now the same procedure from the opposite direction. This time the car reaches 434, 211 km/h. As average top speed the representatives of the “TÜV”and Guinness generate a value of 431, 072 km/h (268 mph). This even hit Bugatti’s engineering team by surprise. “We took it that we would reach an average value of 425 km/h,” explains Bugatti’s chief engineer Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber, “but the conditions today were perfect and allowed even more.” • www.luxuryautodirect.com 33 www.luxuryautodirect.com 36 Fortis, creators of innovative and technologically advanced Swiss timepieces since 1912, has partnered with APR Motor sports’ 2009 “Rookie of the Year” racing sensation Josh Hurley, for the promotion of their award winning “Spaceleader” Chronograph. The “Spaceleader,” a triple sub-dial Chronograph featuring daydate functions and limited to just 2012 pieces, is a joint collaboration between Fortis and Volkswagen Design, celebrating 100 years of Fortis Watchmaking. With a 43mm case, “deep dish” dial and ergonomically shaped rubber strap, the timepiece projects a minimalist persona, imbued with striking modernity, making it an instant design success. From the first moment you strap this timepiece to your wrist it quickly becomes evident how the “Spaceleader” captured the celebrated IF Product Design Award, Red Dot Design Award and Good Design Award for 2010. 37 Having forged strategic alliances with adrenaline pumping adventures on land, sea and in air for generations, Fortis had been searching for the right brand ambassador for their prized “Spaceleader” watch and found a perfect fit with Josh Hurley. Fortis executives explain, “Josh epitomizes the new breed of racer who combines the skill, excitement and technological savvy that best represents Fortis.” Racing for APR, world renown for their engineering of Volkswagens and Audis, Mr. Hurley will be proudly sporting his “Spaceleader” at the upcoming “Continental Tire Challenge” as well as at “Waterfest 16,” the VW and Audi car show/motorsports event. As Mr. Hurley explains “I’m really excited to have Fortis onboard and on my wrist. Their timepieces are beautifully styled, precise and well engineered, which are all things that my APR Motorsport VW shares. I can’t wait to get to New Jersey and start timing the practice sessions with my Fortis VW Design ‘Spaceleader.’ They have been to the top of the world with Cosmonauts, now I’m going to bring them to the top of the podium and bring them on my championship charge for the rest of the season.” Josh continues, “It’s extra exciting because I get to wear a Volkswagen designed by Fortis. Being a Volkswagen driver for the last three seasons, I’m ecstatic to have a VW designed watch, with the durability and accuracy of a Fortis. I’m also hoping its worth a few tents on the track next round in Jersey and am looking forward to wearing VW Design ‘Spaceleader’ of the top step of the podium at our next race at New Jersey Motorsport Park.” • www.luxuryautodirect.com 40 www.luxuryautodirect.com 41 www.luxuryautodirect.com 42 On the basis of the Quattroporte Sport GT S comes the car which celebrates the countless awards that the Maserati flagship sedan has received from the day of its debut to today. The Quattroporte Sport GT S “Awards Edition”, the latest jewel in the Maserati range, makes its official debut at the prestigious Geneva Auto Show. Six years after its birth, the car that created the luxury sport sedan segment continues to receive accolades from the general public, automobile enthusiasts and the press. Maserati has decided to celebrate its success with a superlative version, blending the elegance and sporty stylishness of the brand’s flagship, thanks to the combination of highly refined details, handcrafted finishes and features with a decidedly sporty flair. www.luxuryautodirect.com 43 During its six years of life, the Maserati Quattroporte has received no less than fifty six awards from the most prestigious automotive and lifestyle publications in fourteen countries over in four continents: a global approval for a car that has known how to recreate itself over the years, never failing to maintain the appeal of the lines and purity of the forms created by the hand of Pininfarina, which defined it an instant classic. The Quattroporte Sport GT S “Awards Edition”, based on the Quattroporte Sport GT S, aims to combine in one car all the features that have made the Trident flagship a benchmark for its segment: • the unique and elegant styling, mixed with a hint of sporting flair due to the eye-catching features adopted on both the exterior and interior fittings; • driving enjoyment, because the “Awards Edition” is based on the Quattroporte Sport GT S, which boasts dynamic and top- class performance; • the craftsmanship of the hand-finished details which make each car a unique product. The new Quarzo fuso finishing – a pearlescent metallic grey with golden nuanced colour - exclusive to this model, makes the exterior immediately recognizable, and highlights the body’s elegant lines. The burnished treatment used on the exterior chrome parts, as well as on the side air vents and radiator surround, also blends with the 20’’ Multi Trident dark grey rims with satin finish. www.luxuryautodirect.com 44 The brake system, which replicates the system fitted to the Quattroporte Sport GT S and uses dual-cast technology, is further enhanced by the hand-polished calipers both at the front and rear. With the Quattroporte Sport GT S “Awards Edition”, Maserati and Brembo are introducing on the market for the first time polished calipers, treated with precision mechanical processes and featuring a hand finish which gives them their special mirror-like appearance and enhances their sporty credentials at the same time. The interior also bears witness to the combination of sporting flair and craftsmanship that has always characterized the Maserati flagship sedan. The Poltrona Frau leather of the seats is combined with perforated Alcantara with a new undulated pattern, and the headlining still in Alcantara. Completing the interior space are the special brushed aluminum door sills and Piano Black satin-finish wood moldings. The boot with a full black trim has been embellished further with chrome details and a leather side pocket. The attention to details has even been extended to the mats, which are made of even richer and softer material. • www.luxuryautodirect.com 45 www.luxuryautodirect.com 46 For over 20 years, MacNeil Automotive Products Limited has produced high quality vehicle protection with the WeatherTech® line of Automotive Accessories.

The specialist for fine-tuning Porsche vehicles turns the Zuffenhausen Gran Turismo into a hot-blooded power pack with a 690 HP, a max. torque of 800 Nm and a spectacular body design. Perfectly matching components turn the front section of the MANSORY modification into a dynamic highlight: the new front skirt with adapted LED daytime running lights in combination with the striking bonnet made of carbon fibre give the front section a distinctive character. Masculine broadenings for the wings and doors perfectly harmonise with the new side skirts. www.luxuryautodirect.com 50 At the back of this four-door-car, an enormous carbon diffuser and the centrally located double end pipes of the sports exhaust system render a thrilling atmosphere. MANSORY decorates the originally hydraulic rear with carbon applications or entirely replaces it with a static wing profile made of carbon. The engineers produce the new aerodynamics components in high-strength polyurethane (PU-RIM) and Prepreg-Autoclav-Carbon, the characteristic material for MANSORY. www.luxuryautodirect.com 51 In addition to the exciting look, the MANSORY engine department developed a powerful performance enhancement for the 4.8 litre turbo engine. The power pack contains an amended engine electronics, larger turbo chargers and a stainless steel sports exhaust system. Thanks to these modifications, the engine output rises to an astonishing 690 hp / 507 kW (serial: 500 hp / 368 kW) and pushes the torque to 800 Nm at 4800 r.p.m. Therefore, the 4WD-automobile accelerates from 0 to 100 km/ in only four seconds and achieves a top speed of 328 km/h (serial: 303 km/h). www.luxuryautodirect.com 52 www.luxuryautodirect.com 53 The wheel-tyre combination has been especially designed for Porsche and renders sufficient grip: The latest development and highlight in the offered rim programme is an especially light 22inch forged wheel in turbine design. At the front axle, the 9 inch wide wheels carry the high performance wheels Dunlop SP SportMaxx in the dimension 265/30ZR22 while the rear 10-inch wide wheels are equipped with tyres measuring 295/25ZR22. In order to provide the driver directly with the experience of an automobile refined by MANSORY, the engineers included extensive refinements. A widespread leather interior can be individually matched with the most precious woods, finest varnish or dynamic carbon. The pedals made of brushed aluminium perfect the interior equipment. With the newly designed sports steering wheel, the driver can feel the elegance of the refined Porsche straight in his hands. MANSORY Switzerland bestows an individual appearance to the Porsche Panamera. The complex refinement turns a sports car for journeys into a characteristic personality – after all a real MANSORY. • www.luxuryautodirect.com You drive yourself faster than anyone else. Just like BRM. Now, Bernard Richards Manufacture is launching a limited edition of its iconic watch, the CT-48. Once again at the pinnacle of motorsports, BRM plans to treat the 25 future owners of this exceptional timepiece with seven laps of the Homestead Miami speedway behind the wheel of a real Formula One racecar. What’s a blistering lap without a perfectly accurate chronograph ?

With authentic styling, a new standard 6.2-liter V8 engine and plenty of technology upgrades, it’s the most powerful and capable Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 yet. “The new 2011 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 perfectly blends the flexibility and capability of F-Series trucks with the free spirit of Harley-Davidson® motorcycles,” said Eric Kuehn, chief engineer. “Both companies have a passion for the road, which shines through in our specialized truck.” www.luxuryautodirect.com 58 The successful collaboration between these two icons of the open road has produced nine F-150 models, as well as six Super Duty F-250 and F-350 models, and in 2009, the first Harley-Davidson F-450 edition truck. The exterior of the 2011 Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-150 offers a bold front fascia and six-bar-shaped billet-style satin chrome grille and boasts “Harley-Davidson” satin chrome badging. The truck also has a lowered appearance because of a standard, fully integrated deployable running board. Also standard are 22-inch Euroflange forged wheels with a polished center wheel cap and low-profile performance tires. The paint selection is classic Harley-Davidson – Tuxedo Black and Ingot Silver. www.luxuryautodirect.com 59 New graphics on the hood and body side of the truck are executed in an engine-turned finish and feature dimensional satin chrome “Harley-Davidson” lettering. The graphics are reminiscent of the “speed scallops” used on hot rods. Interior trim panels are covered in Tuxedo Black paint, while the door scuff plate and console lid also carry the engine-turned finish. All interior chrome surfaces feature a new satin finish. Premium leather-trimmed seats come with accent color inserts and a unique cloisonné badge. www.luxuryautodirect.com 60 www.luxuryautodirect.com 61 Ford tapped into a bit of its proud racing heritage to create the new 6.2-liter V8 gasoline engine, which uses big-bore architecture to produce impressive horsepower and torque. The new gasoline engine delivers 411 horsepower and 434 lb.-ft. of torque and provides improved maximum trailer towing capacity of 9,300 pounds. “This engine has tons of torque and already has been proven in the field with both the F-150 SVT Raptor and Super Duty,” said Mike Harrison, V8 engine program manager. “The exhaust for the Ford Harley-Davidson edition has been specially tuned to feature a throaty V8 rumble customers will love.” The 2011 Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-150 adds plenty of technology options to give customers what they are looking for. Key to helping customers take advantage of all the capability offered by the Harley-Davidson F-150 is a standard 4.2-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) productivity screen. This screen offers menu options, giving the customer important information related to fuel economy and towing performance. The menu is navigated through a five-way button on the steering wheel and is positioned between the tachometer and speedometer. Additionally, the 2011 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 comes equipped with a standard voice-activated Navigation System that integrates several functions including voice-recognition destination entry, climate control and SIRIUS® Satellite Radio into one easy-to-use system, displaying them on an 8-inch touch screen. • www.luxuryautodirect.com 5th Annual Orlando A gathering of the world’s finest automobiles, motorcycles, aircraft and watercraft.
