High security, high drama, high fashion and high level of anticipation at Trump International

With over 1,000 of Palm Beach’s finest car enthusiasts attempting to RSVP the 350 slots to be the first to preview the car, Braman’s Event Reservation Department was overloaded and scrambling to assure that the event would not be over crowded.

Security was tight and guests were treated to Donald Trump’s very best serviings of Hors D’Oeuvres ranging from lobster to lamb and everything in-between as the Lynn String Quartet and the Porsche family of cars greeted everyone on arrival .

Welcoming the guests was the event’s host; Vince Cerone, Braman’s General Manager and COO, who proclaimed the evening “historic and unprecedented for Porsche” referring to the first ever 4-door production Porsche in its history.

Three versions of the Panamera were on hand; the S, 4S and the Turbo which was veiled to await the official unveiling as the top model of the Panemara line-up.

The beauty of handcrafted, timeless luxury jewelry from Kaufmann de Suisse, inspired by the symmetry of art deco and the romantic fluidity of art nouveau shimmered brightly when combined with Escada’s 2009 collection.

Even the famous studio of Frederic Fakkai was on hand to present hair and makeup for the fashion models.

At 8pm, the lights were dimmed and a gigantic projector screened beamed images of the late Dr. Ferry Porsche extolling the virtues of Porsche’s timeless engineering, beauty and the reason for racing so hard; the pursuit of endurance. This culminated in the unveiling of the ultimate Panamera; the Panamera Turbo.

Also fashion show featured a selection of sixteen evening gowns and cocktail dresses compliments of Escada, a leading international luxury brand which is synonomous with elegant, feminine fashion that celebrates color.

Mr. Steve Krysal, Marketing and Retention Manager for Porsche Cars of North America was flown in for the honor of presenting the new Porsche to the exclusive Palm Beach crowd.

Afterwards, the sounds of the Ever So Klever swing band continued the festivities as the Trump organization kept the food and drinks flowing. The evening ended with gift presentatons to all guests that included a hard-bound commemorative Panamera book and a USB drive disguised as a Panamera ignition key. On the USB were videos of Braman customer track events, Porsche history, the Panamera design and build stages, customer testimonials and a brochure in eight languages.

All Braman Porsche Specialists were grateful for another successful Braman launch. One that will go down in the record books.

Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 28, 2009 — Demon’s Cycles, the innovative custom motorcycle builder and Domani Motors, the exotic, sports, and luxury automobile dealer have formed a rather unique partnership. Michael Ghanem, the founder and owner of Domani Motors, met Tom Steinbacher, the owner of Demon’s Cycle, at the Boys and Girls Club 3rd Annual Boca Raton Concours d’Elegance on February 20, 2009. They soon found out that they had many mutual interests, including customers looking for exotic transportation.

Michael and Tom quickly discovered that sponsoring local charities like Camila’s House Miami and United Way was not the only thing they had in common. Demon’s Cycle is known all over the world for their custom built motorcycles as well as for the sales of high quality Harley-Davidson aftermarket parts. Domani stands out as one of the finest in luxury automobiles dealers in the world and sells high class, quality cars like Porsche, Bentley, Ferrari and Lamborghini. Exotic toys on four wheels and two wheels go hand in hand and many of the customers of Domani Motors also happened to be the customers of Demon’s Cycles Inc.

Both business owners saw this as an opportunity to create a partnership. Now they have made an agreement to combine efforts. Demon’s Cycle has already built a few custom motorcycles designed exclusively to Domani Motors’ customer specifications. Now even the most demanding customers can find a great way to show off their exotic machines by getting a unique custom motorcycle to match their exotic taste in cars.

“In the end everyone is a winner, especially the kids” said Tom Steinbacher, of the Demon’s Cycles. “Distinguished Domani Motors and Demon’s cycle clientele now have the opportunity to view, test drive and purchase some of the best custom motorcycles in the world built by Demon’s Cycle and the exotic car of their dreams from Domani.”

After three months of tests and trials Spadaconcept – the Italian design studio founded by Paolo Spada (former designer at Smart and Honda) together with his father Ercole, (former chief designer at Zagato and BMW), Domiziano Boschi (former Mc Kinsey) and Wojtek Sokolowski – has launched the production of its supercar, the Spada TS Codatronca. With this car Spadaconcept cherishes and revives the important heritage of Ercole Spada and the philosophy which characterized each of his creations.

The first version, named TS (Turismo Sportivo), is a car with a naturally aspirated engine with more than 600 HP with race performances. Despite the focus at Spadaconcept wasn’t on “pure” power but rather on aerodynamics, lightness and handling, this car can still reach more than 340 km/h due to a short ratio gearbox and complies with the FIA GT1 regulations. Care for environmental issues has resulted in SpadaVettureSport’s decision to add to the menu an ad-hoc “converter kit” which allows fueling the car with E85 green fuel, with a slight increase in torque and power.
With this new sport car Spadaconcept aims at reviving the philosophy that inspired Ercole Spada’s past models, in an attempt to combine aesthetics with functionality and racing performances. This new model is the latest evolutionary step of the truncated tail – “coda tronca” in Italian. The typical and aerodynamic shape which Spada had introduced with the Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ, TZ1 and TZ2 in the 60’s – gives this new car unique and nimble lines which bring in lightness and aerodynamics improving performances.

The company’s vision is centered on “functional design”, which, according to Ercole Spada, means to express the functionality of an object through its shape. Following this vision Spadaconcept came up with a genuinely breaking product, something bold an daring. Far from creating a show car where anything is allowed, Spadaconcept has worked creatively but within strict feasibility constraints, in order to reach the quality standards of a niche, handcrafted production. The performance of this car is maximized by introducing aerodynamic lines such to mould
a light and essential body. The result is an extremely stable and manageable car, able to achieve good racing performances by exploiting at the best the power of its engine, with an original and nimble shape and essential but elegant interiors.

TS Codatronca, will be produced and commercialized by SpadaVettureSport – a company created and controlled by Spadaconcept – in collaboration with a team of selected technical, industrial and commercial partners. SpadaVettureSport has aggregated highest level knowledge and expertise around this project by establishing strategic alliances mainly with small firms located in the district of Turin with great past histories and amazing skills. These partners have great tradition and specialization and allow SpadaVettureSport to combine the “best of breed” in technology with the tradition and “saper fare” – i.e. the Italian for know how – of Italian small firms. The industrial partner FS Group (a firm based near Turin, who has already realized prototypes for Mercedes, Smart, Range Rover) will realize the body, using material supplied by Elantas Camattini, and PPG. The partner Italtecnica (a small firm located in Cambiano, near Turin, already involved in the tuning of Paris-Dakar and Le mans cars for Peugeot) will work on braking system, suspensions and engine upgrade, Sparco – the manufacturer of tuning products based in Turin – will supply seats and other interior items, Pirelli and OZ Racing will provide respectively tyres and wheels, while Alcantara S.p.A., the italian company that produces the omonymous and unique material, has selected a tailored Alcantara® for the interiors. AIM-sportline will give the board-instrumentation, that thanks to the great expierence in the racing world, will even permit the storage of more than 80 hours of telemetry datas. Meccaniche Veloci will supply the dedicated on-board watch named “QuattroValvole”.

For the launch of this supercar SpadaVettureSport has signed a co-branding and co-marketing agreement with AZNOM, a small company based in Monza operating in the production of accessories and luxury items, who will realize and commercialize a line of amenities with the Codatronca brand.
The agreement signed by SpadaVettureSport and AZNOM has a long term perspective and involves joint efforts to approach the market.

The Codatronca TS version According to SpadaVettureSport the TS version is a first step which will be shortly followed by others upcoming. The more powerful TSS version – Turismo Super Sportivo – which is already under test at SpadaVettureSport, will be launched at the end of 2008. In order to realize this unique car Spadaconcept and SpadaVettureSport have put in place a manufacturing system such as to meet the quality standards typical of niche, handcrafted production.
In the present of Spadaconcept there is a strong focus on the core business – consulting and design of niche cars, motorbikes and accessories like helmets, seats, etc. – but looking to the future, the company has started to explore new fields, especially bio-ethanol powered cars and it is currently working in the development of an Environmental Friendly Vehicle (EFV).

Expect the Spada Codatronca in Palm Beach soon.
