A timeless design equipped with speed and comfort is the story behind the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. One of Ken Gorin’s favorite convertibles to drive down the Rickenbacker Causeway on a warm, sunny day, no Porsche enthusiast can go wrong choosing this as their ride.

2. Jaguar F–Type

The Jaguar F-Type is a classic vehicle yet a head-turner at the same time. The F-Type is perfect for two, to cruise around downtown Miami on a beautiful summer day. Finding its way onto the list of hottest convertibles this summer, the F-Type R convertible houses a supercharged V8 engine under its hood that produces 550hp.

THE COLLECTION Hosts Ferrari Portofino Launch Event

Dark Blue Ferrari Portofino at The Collection

Just two weeks after THE COLLECTION opened its door to their all new Ferrari dealership, they hosted the launch event for the brand-new Ferrari Portofino. On Thursday, April 26th, 2018, guests had the opportunity to join Ken Gorin at THE COLLECTION Ferrari and soon after at Ferrari of Miami for a celebration of the newest Ferrari launch. Guests who started at THE COLLECTION were escorted to the new location, Ferrari of Miami, by a police-led caravan to enjoy refreshments and see the new dealership. After the celebration, over thirty Ferraris took over Biscayne Boulevard as they traveled to the Rubell Family Collection for a private preview party of the all new Ferrari Portofino, hosted by Ferrari North America.

Dark Blue Ferrari Portofino at The Collection

The Ferrari Portofino is beautifully designed, to say the least. A lightweight speed machine, the Portofino is nothing less then impressive. The interior of the car has enough space for the driver and passenger, and even two rear seats in the back, perfect for a weekend road trip. One of the most noticeable changes to the Ferrari Portofino is its weight. Compared to the California T, the Portofino has shed significant pounds thanks to modern production technologies and materials used.

Experience the Ferrari Portofino for yourself at either one of Ken Gorin’s dealerships in Miami. Visit at THE COLLECTION Ferrari and THE COLLECTION Ferrari of Miami.

 

 

THE COLLECTION Launches the Jaguar E-Pace

THE COLLECTION’s showroom was turned into a Disco Wonderland on Friday, March 23rd as the new Jaguar E-Pace was unveiled to guests of the dealership. One of the newest members of the Jaguar lineup, the Jaguar E-Pace did not disappoint. Here at Ken Gorin’s THE COLLECTION, everything isn’t always look but don’t touch. In fact, guests were able to sit inside and experience the glimmering vehicle firsthand. For the guests who fell in love with this beauty, they were able to put their name on a list to get to test drive the Jaguar the following day. The Jaguar E-Pace was the center of attention for the entire night, with a sparkling disco ball hanging from above, setting the feel of the night.

The design of the Jaguar E-Pace is both powerful and family-friendly. So, for those looking for an everyday car to drive the kids around in while still rocking that sporty, exotic look, the Jaguar E-Pace is an ideal choice. The interior of the car was created with the purpose of being able to enjoy the thrill of driving. The cockpit conveniently curves to ensure easy access to buttons and controls while still focusing on the road.

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 COLLECTION Is Expanding
