duPont REGISTRY May 2016

Dear Reader, I would like to report that the Amelia Island Concours weekend was more successful than expected, AND given what we have come to expect from Bill Warner and his team, that is quite the accomplishment. All the events, including the duPont REGISTRY™/LIVE on Friday night were spectacular. This includes the Sunday Concours event that was subject to an accelerated time schedule due to threatening rain. The pace was most pleasing to everyone, went without a hitch, probably exhausted the Concours staff, AND it didn’t rain!!! duPont REGISTRY™remains both honored and proud to be a sponsor of this most prestigious event. Congratulations to Bill and his staff and volunteers for another fabulous event weekend. There were, of course, several automobile auctions that were clearly the “other shoe” for the two-legged Amelia…

duPont REGISTRY Cars & Coffee – March 2016 Well, it looks like the unpredictable Florida rain is already starting to show its face, granted this past weekend's rain was on account of a late-season cold front. Even with a sporadically rainy Saturday morning, our parking lots were still filled with incredible cars. Guests seemed to be taken by the Vanderhall Motor Works Laguna Roadster and 1950 Mercury located in our showroom. Outside of our building, the parking lots contained cars like a new Dodge Viper ACR, McLaren 570S and a BMW i8 in an electrifying blue finish. Revealed: Rolls-Royce ‘Black Badge’ at Geneva English automaker Rolls-Royce opts for reaching a younger, self-empowered demographic with its new ‘Black Badge’, which debuted at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.

Featuring body panels made entirely of carbon fiber and a monocoque in the same woven material, the Centenario sends 770 hp to all four wheels. It rockets to 60 MPH in 2.7 seconds and crests a top speed above 217 MPH in a truly unforgettable tribute to the brand’s namesake. But the Centenario is about more than outright speed. It also introduces technologies never before seen in a super sports car from Automobili Lamborghini. Steering through all four wheels increases agility at…
