Porsche is Worth its Weight in Gold

The highly anticipated Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series made its debut at THE COLLECTION dealership in Miami. Being one of Porsche’s sixteen Exclusive Manufaktur Dealers, THE COLLECTION was given the privilege of being among the first to unveil the posh Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series. Onlookers were able to get a first glimpse of this car with Ken Gorin, THE COLLECTION CEO.

This machine has 607 horsepower with a 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds with the Sport Chrono driving mode engaged. This car was built for exhilarating speed, topping out at 205 mph. Compared to the normal Turbo S cars, this series can go 0-124 mph in just 9.6 seconds shedding a whole 0.3 seconds off. Along with its extreme power and a peak torque output of 553lb-ft, the Turbo S Exclusive Series also comes built with Porsche’s PDK seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Every inch of this car is luxury, with SportDesign exterior mirror upper trims in carbon fiber—including carbon fiber window triangles. The inside is also equipped with an interior carbon fiber kit along with two stripes of Golden Yellow running across the cabin that match the headrest and headliner design. For those who want to stand out, the “exclusive” Golden Yellow Metallic paint will be the perfect exterior color choice and for those who are not as flashy, other select exterior colors will be available as well.

If you want to be one of the lucky few who get to own one of these, act soon, there are only going to be 500 of these built. Visit Ken Gorin at The Collection to test drive one today.

Exclusive on the McLaren Velocity 720s

Power and intensity–how else could you describe the McLaren Velocity 720s? McLaren aficionados were able to behold this machine in late October of 2017. Upon entering the McLaren showroom, enthusiasts were able to view its unique paint job which totaled 300 hours to complete. The upper and front panels are a Nerello Red which fades into a Volcano Red for the sides and back of the car.

This new McLaren is equipped with metallic bronze alloy wheels and a ton of carbon fiber. From the gloss carbon fiber rear deck vent to the gloss carbon fiber service cover, carbon and luxury are all over this machine. This model has a ton of power, clocking in at 710 horsepower and a 0-60mph time of 2.7 seconds. This McLaren has a top speed of 212 mph. The minds behind this vehicle truly engineered a masterpiece.

For those who want to personalize their McLaren, that is possible too. With McLaren’s Special Operations (MSO) division, anything can be possible. Most of the time, owners need help getting their creative juices flowing so, McLaren is also offering four other default options along with Velocity: GT, Pacific, Track and Stealth. For McLaren, the business of personalization is huge, many buyers choose to send their cars to MSO for some type of modification, both big and small.

Experience this vehicle for yourself at the Ken Gorin Miami dealership, THE COLLECTION.

The one-of-a-kind Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is truly a Porsche in a league of its own.

There are five models available: the Panamera 4 Sport Turismo, Panamera 4S Sport Turismo, Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo, Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo, and the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo. Porsche released a line of options to suit enthusiasts’ wants and needs. Keeping in line with so many car manufacturers in recent years, hybrid options are not just present, but they are numerous.

THE COLLECTION unveiled the 2018 Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo to 150 guests in an event where attendees were able to bring their own Porsches and line the streets outside the showroom on the concourse. Later in the event, guests got an exclusive tour at the Miami Detail Center and Auto Extremes where they were shown a demonstration on liquid Nano ceramic coating and painless dent removal. After the tour, guests were ushered into the Porsche showroom for refreshments.

The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo performs at 0-60 in about three seconds with a top speed of 189 mph. Test drive this Porsche at Kenneth Gorin’s THE COLLECTION in Miami today.
