I Visited Prestige Imports Miami - High End Dealership

Hello all 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!

Thanks for sharing... the One:1 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.

And how the hell does that person drive that H1?

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.
Thanks for sharing, Austin! Glad you remembered your camera!

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

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

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.

I was told $5M

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

That's what I was thinking too.

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!

Such beautiful pictures. I'm just 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.

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...

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).

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!!

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.

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...
but be the only guy to fart in it!?!

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

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

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.

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