Why is it that most electric cars look like they’ve been designed by five year olds? The Gee Wiz, the Nice MyCar, the Sakura Maranello 4, all cars that would, without the benefit of CGI, fit quite comfortably into the next Pixar Cars Movie. Why? When electric car designers roll up their sleeves and sit in front of a drawing board, do they suddenly regress to an age where trees look like lollipops and sheep bear a striking resemblance to the clouds above them. Funky, innovative, ground breaking designs that are hardly ever practical. That was until the launch of the Tesla Model S.
The Tesla Model S, the Spark in Electric Cars
Best Classic Cars of the Future
The man who said the magic line “Ray, fire up the Quattro” is Gene Hunt, a fictional detective in ‘Ashes To Ashes’ – a TV series set in 1980’s Britain – and he drives a bright red Audi UR Quattro. And while Hunt’s completely un-PC view of the world makes compelling viewing, it’s undoubtedly the Quattro that’s become the star of the show.
They’re fetching £8,000 on eBay, the internet forums are alive with people trying to track down a model for themselves, and for the 30-somethings who were teenagers living in the 80’s, it’s made them realise that the cars they loved then could be classic cars of tomorrow.

Prestige Car Hire – Hire a Super Car.
With a prestige car hire, you can drive a super car. When most people see a Ferrari, Lotus, or a Porsche on the road, few of them stop to consider that they could hire one of those cars. Most of us might never get to own one, but that doesn’t mean we should feel that driving one is beyond the limits of possibility.
Prestige car hire are made strictly to impress. Imagine hiring a Bentley for your wedding day or a Lamborghini on your graduation. You hire one of these cars because they garner attention. Impress a beautiful woman with a ride in a Ferrari, or an important business client with a pick up in a Rolls Royce.
Sports cars offer us the combination of speed, luxury, and safety. People often debate the difference between a sports car and a “sporting” car, for our purposes they are all prestige cars.
A prestige car is anything that can impress. We have already run through some so far, but others might be Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, or a Range Rover. Any of these cars, and many others, have the inherit ability to pass as a status symbol.
There are many ways to find a prestige car hire. You can refer to the Yellow Pages, hotels, airports, auto enthusiasts, or you can look on the Internet. The Internet is probably your best source for finding where to hire a prestige car. You can sort your search in several ways. You can type in the name of the make or model auto that you are looking to hire. You can simply punch in “prestige car hire.” Either of these means should get you plenty of results. Next, sort your “hits” by the city you are in or the one you will be visiting. You should have accessibility to prestige cars at almost any population center, city, or urban area.
There was a time when finding a prestige car hire was a difficult thing, but not any longer. If you can dream of driving it, it is most likely that you can find it for hire.
Hiring these types of vehicles is going to cost you more than a practical car and van hire would. There will be extra insurance charges and additional fees. There will be age restrictions and, quite possibly, distance and destination restrictions, as well. Also, the mileage costs will be much higher. You will fill the car with fuel more often, as these prestige cars do not get high ratings for gas mileage.
Make sure to closely inspect the car before you drive away in it. You will be paying a very high excess (deductible) with this sort of hire and if it comes back with any dents or scratches, they will be your responsibility. Keep the car clean as well, or you will face an additional charge for the agency having to clean it.
Remember to have fun. A prestige car hire may be the only way you ever get to drive one of these cars in your life.
