I Visited Prestige Imports Miami - High End Dealership
 
Hello all :wave: a few weekends back my girlfriend and I made a little trip to Miami because we saw they had recently acquired a Koenigsegg One:1...absolutely one of my favorite vehicles. I had to see it in person. For those of you unfamiliar with the car, it's made in Sweden, the world's first megacar, 1360hp for 1360kgs of weight, making a 1:1 power ratio, ONE of SIX in the WORLD. It's incredible. I'll let the pictures do the talking, they had some amazing toys there. Enjoy!

I like the little yellow number!

Costco 09-19-2016 01:41 AM

Thanks for sharing... the One:1 :cry: simply amazing.

$50 says a prodigiously endowed man drives that bagged H1. To each his or her own, but in my eyes that's blasphemy.

gatrhumpy 09-19-2016 05:17 AM

Wow. Thank for the drool-worthy pictures!
And how the hell does that person drive that H1?

Airbags!

Mr. Maker 09-19-2016 08:15 AM

I see they leave all the shitty cars outside.. :O

nist7 09-19-2016 08:26 AM

What's the retail on that One:1?

rockstar143 09-19-2016 08:30 AM

I thought the H1 was cool AF!
I love the Kenposigiggajigga one;1 but immediately after buying that car I'd have to throw some weight on it with some nice wheels. :tomato:
Thanks for sharing, Austin! Glad you remembered your camera!

gnuts 09-19-2016 08:30 AM

i just watched the netflix hypercar episode which showed a lot of the 1:one. Pretty cool to see it in person.

Jakes_tl 09-19-2016 09:10 AM

wow that is some beautiful cars and a lot of carbon fiber!

I'm curious as well, but "if you have to ask"
Google says, about 30% over an Agera R, so just shy of $2M.

:spanky: Carbon > *

TacoBello 09-19-2016 09:27 AM

Neither the one:1, nor the Pagani have enough carbon fiber for Mr. Steven :snicker:

SuperTrooper169 09-19-2016 09:41 AM

Thanks for sharing! Those are some amazing cars. I love carbon fiber as much as the next guy, but that Pagani is carbon fiber visual overload.

Undying Dreams 09-19-2016 10:01 AM

I was told $5M :what:

Supposedly it has 0 miles as the original owner purchased it directly from Koenigsegg and then sold it immediately after.

rockstar143 09-19-2016 10:07 AM

0 miles?
so it's just trailered everywhere?

TacoBello 09-19-2016 10:20 AM

"I've got the fastest car in the world!! ...at least I think I do. I've never driven it, so I dunno..."

Joneill44 09-19-2016 10:26 AM

Amazing cars. Did you have to call ahead to take all those pictures?

rockstar143 09-19-2016 10:30 AM

Probably not...
they know it's good advertising no matter where it ends up.

That's what I was thinking too. :rofl:

Is it bad to want to hide all the beautiful carbon fiber with some paint?

It probably is.

Also, I saw the tires, and though 245? Hell, I have 245s on my ca-- oh... wait. 345s! :what:

UlsterBoy13 09-19-2016 11:20 AM

the pagani's hood looks like the one Mystery Meat has.

nice cars all round.

ttribe 09-19-2016 11:22 AM

:thud:

neuronbob 09-19-2016 11:31 AM

Such beautiful pictures. I'm just :drool: ing all over the place. Thank you for sharing?

So how does one obtain access to a high-end dealership like this just to look around? Do they just.....let you walk around and take pictures? And open the doors to the Koenigsegg 1 just so you can take a picture?

I'm asking because I geniuinely don't know. Now that I have a NSX to drive up to such a dealership in, I'm sure I'd be taken seriously at such a place now upon arrival, but I'm honestly scared to approach someplace more high-end than a Porsche dealer.

rockstar143 09-19-2016 11:33 AM

LOL...move to South Florida where exotics are a dime a dozen and nobody really blinks at them.
Plus, Austin probably knew more about the one:1 than the dealership staff...

00TL-P3.2 09-19-2016 11:41 AM

And, odds are, a polite "can you open the doors so I can get a few pictures?" would work, if they weren't 'busy'.

I was quite surprised with the attitude of the local Ferrari & McLaren dealerships when I've gone in. Quite the opposite of the mainstream dealers. Very polite people, even though I clearly look like I can't afford one of them (especially pulling into the McLaren lot in a faded Civic).

rockstar143 09-19-2016 11:45 AM

Maybe they figured you were a reasonable man that's been saving for a LONG time for the upgrade?!!? :tomato:

Oh Sickest TL 09-19-2016 11:52 AM

holy shit. Talk about feeling poor!

Stunnings pic. Thanks for posting those. Im showing my buddies lol

well, there's a lot less exotics here, but it's more or less the same thing. I definitely don't blink at them either. But that's because my eyeballs are so fixated on them, I can't afford to blink... Think of the lost staring time!!

Oh Sickest TL 09-19-2016 12:14 PM

you'd never see any of those car where I live. not even the 4 door audi LOL.

:love: that hummer :drool:

I called to make sure it was okay to take photos and they were cool with it. The staff was very nice and even obliged to open the doors of the One:1 and Huayra for me.

You just can't sit in them but that should be a given.

rockstar143 09-19-2016 12:20 PM

I swear I would have bottled a fart and released it in there while pretending to take a shot of the interior.
I wouldn't want to drive it...:shakehead:
but be the only guy to fart in it!?! :nod:

Hey Bob! Thank you!

There's really nothing to it, I called ahead to make sure pictures were okay and then I just showed up. I even went wearing a t shirt and shorts and my legs are heavily tattooed lol. Everyone was very nice and it has given me more confidence to visit my more local Ferrari dealership as I have been quite anxious to visit.

I know that sounds weird but I HAD to see the One:1 in person so I made it happen. Just be polite and watch your step :)

Oh Sickest TL 09-19-2016 12:24 PM

do they wear gloves when they open the doors?

CLpower 09-19-2016 12:34 PM

the defender is my favorite



but for some reason I love that bagged H1!

Gnargasim 09-19-2016 12:35 PM

Ha imagine insuring that property :what:

justnspace 09-19-2016 12:41 PM

that bagged H1 is :drool:

rockstar143 09-19-2016 01:03 PM

H1 was the biggest head turning in that entire place... :O

Joneill44 09-19-2016 01:15 PM

Im curious to see what happens with the older veyrons going forward. Clearly if youre buying them as the 2nd or 3rd owner you dont have FU money. And the maintenance is still bonkers

SykVSyx 09-19-2016 01:17 PM

Really appreciate the photo share......awesome specimens of vehicles.

Completely impractical for those of us that live anywhere that gets snow.....not even going to comment on the obvious "pockets aren't deep enough" situation.

One:1......incredible craftsmanship.

The Hummer.....yeah....it's cool, I could roll in that.

The attention to detail on the supercars is mind blowing.

CLtotheTL32 09-19-2016 03:04 PM

Fantastic pictures, Austin! I would love to go there someday :yum:

neuronbob 09-19-2016 04:43 PM

I came back to the thread to drool some more over the Koenigsegg 1. Hope that's OK with you all.

:drool: :drool: :drool:

Thanks again for sharing!
