What do Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari, & Astin Martin have in common? Apart from being some of the most intriguing, talked about luxury supercars on the market, they all happen to be available at West Coast Dream Machines here in Vancouver. DreamGroup is known for its fabulous weddings, but we also LOVE it when we get the opportunity to support companies in showcasing their products with a stylish edge! DreamGroup planner Chrissie Vides was brought on this past year to bring luxury car magic to the West Coast Dream Machines showroom! Chrissie LOVED planning this Luxury Car Affair. The incredible line up of luxury cars were the highlight of the event and they made a statement all on their own!

What is a Supercar?

A supercar is a powerful, sleek, and luxurious vehicle. Supercars are often called “exotic cars” because they’re usually imported. Some of the fastest, most powerful, most unique, and most opulent motor vehicles are supercars.

The criteria for being accepted as a supercar have changed in recent years. What was once a simple list of requirements is now far more intricate. It’s no surprise that speed is still a determining factor as is the overall look and aesthetic of the vehicle. If it looks fast, goes fast, and is rare, then it’s likely to get Supercar status. As technology advances, cars are simply getting faster. So what was yesterday’s supercar may simply be tomorrow’s moderately fast Coupe.

Supercar Fun Facts

Lamborghinis Weren’t Always a Luxury Brand – Believe it or not, there was once a time when Lamborghinis were colorful tractors, not sporty race cars or luxury coupes. Ferruccio Lamborghini was picking up the pieces of his life and his country after the end of World War II. He used surplus or damaged military vehicle parts to craft his first line of tractors. His hard work and perseverance paid off when he was finally able to afford a Ferrari. Immediately, he became addicted to luxury sports cars and felt determined to create his own. In 1963, Lamborghini transformed himself and the world forever by releasing the Lamborghini 350 GTV.
Quality That Lasts – Rolls Royce is certainly one of the oldest manufacturers of luxury cars. Their vehicles have been associated with wealth and opulence for more than a century. But perhaps more impressive than their branding strategy is their vehicle quality. About 2/3 of all Rolls Royce cars ever released are still in use today. While most cars are traded-in at 100,000 miles, these vehicles can last potentially forever. That’s a supercar!
Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous – The most expensive car ever sold was a supercar. In 2018, a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO sold for over 48 million dollars to an unknown buyer. It was one of only 32 ever created by the infamous Italian company. One of the greatest restrictions on supercars is the price. However, thanks to entrepreneurial rental companies and chauffeur services, nearly anyone can experience the joy and power of an exotic car. Check out our Vancouver friends at Luxury Life Limousine!
