Luxotics provides the entire spectrum of automotive services in one-stop shopping, Spencer added, “Even among exotic car lovers, above all, the ultimate luxury is time.”
Fulfilling the Passion For Luxury and Exotic Car Experiences
A
sensible car may get you where you want to go, but there’s nothing like an exotic car to accelerate your lifestyle. The speed and easy handling are great attractions, matched by the power felt behind the wheel. Not only do they look magnificent, but when you drive a luxury or exotic car, you can’t help but be noticed. Spencer Ross, Gabriel Hale, & Rakeem Pierre-Louis, business partners and friends, have always been interested in luxury and exotic cars. They recognized their passion as an opportunity for a new business. Luxotics started in 2011 as a private concierge-based company, serving only a select few and privileged clients—including celebrities, hip hop artists and TV reality show stars. “We don’t just sell cars; we sell a lifestyle,” Spencer said. “Even among exotic car lovers, above all, the ultimate luxury is time and you want to do it with style and finesse.” Luxotics also provides the entire spectrum of automotive services in one-stop shopping, Spencer added. While working at a Long Island luxury and exotic car dealership, Gabriel noticed that while one customer was looking to lease a Ferrari, a second wanted to ship his Bentley across the country, and a third was interested in upgrading his Mercedes with new rims and fancier

details. Then there were those who wanted to rent a Lamborghini for the weekend, or a luxury limo for a private party. “Suddenly, the idea hit me,” Gabriel recalled. “I wanted to provide a complete solution to all of my customers’ luxury and exotic automobile desires—to offer them onestop shopping with an AMEX black card experience.” Their overwhelming success drove Spencer, Gabriel, & Rakeem to expand the concept, and as Gabriel explained, “to offer the same opportunity to the entire world.” The New York International Auto Show, held this April, was a perfect venue for the official launch of the
Luxotics Automobile Agency, which covers every aspect in the car world—from car sales, leasing, consignment to custom upgrading to rentals of luxury and exotic cars and limos, shipping and storage, even car washing. A Ferrari for a day would cost you a bit more than $1,000. For about $4,000, you can rent a Bentley convertible for a weekend, delivered right to your front door. Or perhaps a chauffeured Rolls Royce, equipped with a bottle of champagne with all the bells and whistles for a decadent night out in Luxotics style. “People identify themselves with the car they drive,” Rakeem says. “Driving an exotic car is an adrenaline rush.” For Johnny Donovan, a Manhattan talent agent, summer time and Luxotics automobiles are a perfect match “If any of my clients want to rent an exotic car for a weekend in the Hamptons, I know they’ll receive extraordinary care and service with Luxotics.” As Michael Maddaloni of Maddaloni Jewelers in Huntington put it: “Our respective customer base brings Luxotics & Maddaloni Jewelers together, from the likes of fine jewelry & timepieces to elite luxury and exotic cars.” Summer is around the corner and now is the time to spoil yourself in pure luxury with the Luxotics experience.
