A friend recently saw this home and asked me if it is really possible to own it. ” Once you find $50 Million to spare, then the dream will come true” was my reply but all jokes aside, it isn’t everyday that someone finds the opportunity to buy a $50 million dollar home. For those of us that are with power to make such a decision is a home that is visually stunning in the heart of Malibu but make sure to ask for a tour or you might get lost as its far from small.

Porsche’s newest spyder is here, and its not a 911, a Boxster or Carrera GT but rather a blend of all 3. The new Porsche Design 918 Spyder is more than just a blended concept, it is the first true Green car that Porsche introduces to Geneva. Surprisingly I think this is the first green car that is actually not ugly, but rather beautiful, in fact even more beautiful than the non-hybrid Porsche Boxster or the 911 series. The most impressive part of this concept is that it is very likely to go into production as Porsche has never introduced something to Geneva that it didn’t end up putting into production.

We brought you Webb Bland’s Success Story last month and introduced you to some of the finest automotive photography found anywhere. Fortunately for us, Webb Bland continues to deliver with each and every shoot. This latest photo shoot of the Matte Black Carrera GT is nothing less than spectacular. The Carrera GT is one of our favorite cars of all time, even though it costs nearly $10,000 in maintenance for every 3000 miles you drive it. The all mighty aluminum V10 found as the center of the beast’s heart makes her even more appealing to exotic owners everywhere, and the limited production allows the Carrera GT to retain its value fairly well. But is it really worth the price tag?

Many of us grow to be successful and have the pleasure of buying exotic cars like Ferrari, Aston martin and Lamborghini, but we as entrepreneurs have learned to manage our money properly and usually have enough common sense to not buy our toys brand new but rather used. This way we protect ourselves from high taxes, insurance and depreciation; and allow ourselves to enjoy these vehicles without putting ourselves in financial risk. There are obstacles that come our way when it comes to finding the right car and many factors come to play; from the exotic car’s history to its internal condition. It can be a dream or can become quite a harsh nightmare if not researched properly.

We originally featured the Bentley Continental SS Coupe when it first debut in Geneva and simply could not get enough of its power and beauty which we felt was unrivaled. Just as we thought the $250,000 was worth every penny, we found now that it no longer is and that you might want to consider spending $300,000 instead for this mesmerizing convertible version. Using Bio Fuel Technology which is now called “Flex Fuel” by Bentley, the car still produces 630 BHP and retains its amazing beauty and craftsmanship all around but allows you to let the world know who is driving the newest Bentley SS, which has to be worth the $50,000 premium over the Bentley SS Coupe.

You’ve been thinking about buying a Lamborghini Gallardo but are afraid of the cost of ownership of an exotic car, and therefore prefer to buy a Mercedes or BMW to be able to drive it and save on the costs of having a car just sitting in your garage. Until now it was hard as there seemed to be a large gap between drivable luxury and exotic cars but that has been changed since Audi first introduced the R8 which was quite the right car, combining driveability, exotic looks, and affordable costs. The Audi R8 went on sale with a V8, and then appeared with a V10 but now is available in its most attractive for yet…with no roof !

I’ve always had a passion for two things: cars and photography. I can always appreciate a great photo. Ever since we launched Secret Entourage, we felt it was important to have good pictures and a presence on social forums and websites like Flickr.com. I browse through Flickr.com everyday and come across some of the most talented photographers. Whenever I see a great photo, I add them to my contacts just so I can keep coming back to see what they’ve uploaded. Flickr.com is a great website in that a lot of the guys that do automotive photography use it and it seems like a very close community. You will always see other photographers commenting on your photos from all over the world. This brings us to our first featured photographer: Ian Jones Photography.

Dubai has been known to have some issues with the economy keeping construction from moving forward but Abu Dhabi is probably tired of Dubai always stealing the thunder as the star of the United Arab Emirates, but that may change with the construction of a F1 spec track and a Ferrari-based theme park set to open in 2010…

Aston Martin has refreshed the V8 Vantage sports coupe and roadster and as we reviewed it back in 2009, the car is by far one of the best looking GTs out on the market and its now looking better than ever with the subtle new changes. For 2010, Aston Martin has taken the Vantage V8 one step closer to perfection. The changes include minor upgrades to the body aerodynamics, wheels and taillights but the real treat is inside the car…

Our Project CLS55 AMG “executive” is coming to a wrap just as the winter weather is starting to go away. Here is an update on our car as it is about to be going on sale to make room for some summer exotic cars. We have yet to decided what will replace this beast but a Bentley GT or Aston Martin Vantage are looking like promising choices. Last time we showed you our CLS55 AMG, it was barely driven as we had just acquired it. Well, it isn’t stock anymore…

The ultimate track car just got better. The Rossion Q1 is officially the replacement of the Noble M400 which was the most popular kit car to grace the market, and more importantly the fastest of its kind. The car was sold without engine or trans-axle for approximately $60,000 and would cost upwards of $80,000 when complete with a Ford twin turbo V6 and trans-axle. Get ready as the New Rossion Q1 takes that up by $20,000 and offers unparalleled performance for less than 6 figures…
The Rossion Q1 comes as the next super kit car, from some of the same people that brought you the Noble M400 cars but have decided to raise the bar on everything and deliver us a fresh product in 2010.
