Have you ever dreamed of getting behind the wheel of a your dream car for an entire day or more? Gotham Dream Cars can turn that dream into reality. Whether you want to indulge in a Bentley, experience the speed of a Porsche or impress your date with a Rolls Royce, all you need to do is pay a visit to Gotham Dream Cars.

The concept for Gotham Dream Cars began with a simple problem. “We searched for a place to rent a supercar, and we didn’t find any worth a phone call,” says company founder and CEO Noah Lehmann-Haupt on the company website. “There are lots of places where you could rent what others call an “exotic” car — a Viper, a Lotus, or even a PT cruiser. But when it came to what we call an exotic — a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, or Aston Martin, the market fell short.”

In 2004 Lehmann-Haupt decided to create a solution, so he founded Gotham Dream Cars with a 2001 Ferrari 360 Modena. Gotham Dream Cars lets you choose from three options: exotic car rental, which allows you to rent your car for a day, weekend or more; The Dream Car Sprint, where drivers can get behind the wheel of their car of choice and hit up the company’s autocross course; and The Dream Car Tour, where you get to drive six of the hottest vehicles in existence back to back on specially-selected roads.

With outposts in Los Angeles, New York and Miami, Gotham Dream Cars is on the fast track to being the leader of luxury car rentals. You don’t even have to leave your house to pick it up; one of the company’s trusty transporters will deliver the vehicle right to your door.

And in case you were wondering, a Rolls Royce Drophead, which has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $450,000, is the most expensive vehicle in Gotham Dream Cars’s luxurious fleet.

Rare Supercars Take Over Rodeo Drive

fast lane fathers day supercars on rodeo dr venom

Nothing goes together as well as Rodeo Drive and expensive cars, except perhaps when they shut down the famous street, fill it with rare supercars, and encourage you to come ogle them. Rodeo Drive Concours D’Elegance is putting on its annual Father’s Day car show on Sunday the 19th from 10 am to 4 pm. Unlike anything else on Rodeo, it’s free.

For those of us who have forgotten our high school French, Concours d’Elegance translates to “competition of elegance” and is the product of bored 17th century French aristocrats showing off their bitchin’ carriages. Their discussions of “horsepower” were far more literal. It evolved from there to become actual automobile competitions. For 23 years now, the Rodeo Drive Cours d’Elegance show has been a favorite Father's Day tradition of Los Angeles families and car buffs alike. Unsurprisingly, LA with its love of the finer things, is home to the largest single-day Concours event, drawing crowds of about 30,000. Doubt any aristocratic carriages pulled in that many viewers.

Walking through a century’s worth of Porsche street cars, race cars and one-offs

I often tell folks that, for a very specific reason, Stuttgart is the most beautiful city in Germany. It’s true that there’s plenty to see and do downtown, but for car aficionados like myself, the main attractions are unquestionably the Porsche and the Mercedes-Benz museums that are located on the outskirts of the city.

All told, there are approximately 80 cars on display in the Porsche museum that generate a combined output of over 23,000 horsepower.

Porsche will race into the Los Angeles show with the track-bound Cayman GT4 Clubsport

Porsche will travel to the Los Angeles Motor Show that will throw open its doors next month to introduce a new model dubbed Cayman GT4 Clubsport. The Clubsport is essentially a track-only version of the street-legal Cayman GT4 (pictured) that was unveiled earlier this year in Geneva.

Full details are being kept under wraps until the beginning of the Los Angeles show, so what the Clubsport will look like inside and out is anyone's guess for the time being. All we know so far is that it will boast a naturally-aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine tuned to deliver 385 horsepower. The six will spin the rear wheels via a dual-clutch automatic transmission controlled by shift paddles and a locking rear differential.
