The Concours Club

I humbly introduce to you, The Concours Club. Home of South Florida’s luxury, private, driving experience. Nestled next to Opa Locka Executive Airport and equip with over 2-miles of rubber melting, smooth pavement, it’s the local speed track of our dreams… but with a $125,000 membership fee (not including annual dues), 99.9% of us probably can’t even begin to entertain the idea of utilizing its many services and perks.

“The amenities are what set us apart” – Neil Gehani, Co-Founder; Bloomberg.com

The Concours Club

The project is a $220 million dollar endeavor and obviously aimed at catering to an affluent crowd. Designed by Alan Wilson, it is set to open in May of 2019. Amenities, outside of the mouth-watering driving course, will include; a restaurant/bar, spa, infinity pool, jacuzzi and… whatever a hammam is. Members will also be able to store their toys on site The developers plan to roll out 40-founding memberships for $350,000, unlike the $125k one, will exclude the yearly annual fee. Chances are if someone isn’t already some kind of super and hyper-car connoisseur, or makes a habit of collecting GTRs, The Concours Club is going to be little more than a dream for most. What a sweet dream it will be.

Sant’Agata Bolognese, home to the Lamborghini Museum, will be hosting an event entitled “Film Emotions” through October 31^st, 2018 at the aforementioned gallery. Not a hop, skip and a jump away for most people but if you’re able to make the journey or plan to be anywhere near the exhibit is based around an amazing tribute to the exciting cars from the legendary manufacturer of wet dreams across the world;

“Starting off with two iconic titles like “Italian Job” of 1969 and “The Cannonball Run” (1981), in which the Miura P400 and Countach respectively make a magnificent appearance, the brand’s filmography continues in different movies of various kinds and depths, from “Rocky IV” (1985) in which the main character, played by Sylvester Stallone, drives his marvelous black Jalpa in the night to “Fast & Furious 4” (2009) with an LM002. The immersive route continues up to more recent titles like “Batman – The Dark Knight Rises” (2012), in which the Batmobile is a sparkling grey Aventador, and “Doctor Strange” (2016), behind the wheel of a Huracán.”

The House of the Raging Bull has always been at forefront of providing the world with dream machines (…and farm equipment). Even though today there are vehicles with equal and sometimes more power available for purchase that will cost a fraction of the price; you can’t take away the sheer epicness of pulling up in a sleek, low-to-the-ground, fine, Italian automobile. Star Bucks, The Clevelander, Publix, wherever.
