Club Sportiva

Go ahead ... push the crystal start button and try to keep a smile off your face when the 6.0-litre V12 turns over, stirring the 450 horses under the bonnet. The Aston Martin DB9 is said to be one of the greatest automobiles to come from the U.K. and with its Volante (convertible) status, it's perfect for sunny California weather. With a cabin hand-trimmed in matte finished wood, supple leather, sporting the famed Aston Martin badge and shooting from 0 to 60 MPH in 4.9 seconds, it's tough to compare the experience to any other automobile. The DB9 rolls into the Elite Collection.

Club Sportiva at 30,000 feet

No, Club Sportiva didn't add a jet to the paddock, but Members did get to climb aboard three high altitude sports cars from Marquis Jet's collection at a recent private party. Our event was hosted in conjunction with Merrill Lynch to showcase the finest, most luxurious modes of travel and the smartest ways to access them. Guests were greeted by three lavishly appointed jets along with the Club's new Aston Martin DB9 Volante, Ferrari F430 coupe, and Lamborghini Murcielago parked under wing. Why own a jet when you only need it part of the time? For the same reasons Members join Club Sportiva so you can have all of the fun and access without the complications of ownership. If you would like to know more about our relationship with Marquis Jet, please contact Club Sportiva.

An Electric Sports Car that will Humble a Lamborghini?!

Some attendees were admiring it, others couldn't figure out what it was, but when Wrightspeed founder Ian Wright showed the X1 Prototype dropping the hammer and embarrassing a Lamborghini Gallardo, any question to its intentions were left on the side of the road. On March 29th, Business Association Italy America (BAIA) hosted a showcase for the Wrightspeed X1 prototype, a 100% electric sports car that hints at the future of automotive technology. The X1 was on display as the audience listened to a presentation by Ian and watched video of the vehicle consistently beating both a Lamborghini Gallardo and a stock car around a race track. All this while returning the equivalent of 170 mpg ... truly an amazing vehicle.

It Was a Beautiful Day in Napa for the Spring Road Rally

Warm sunshine, private winery tours and a spirited drive made this spring road rally the ultimate drive through wine country. Members enjoyed the scenic route through Napa Valley to D.R. Stephens private estate. Lunch was served while an introduction to the company's Chardonnay was given by General Manager, Justin Stephens. Afterwards, the group continued on to Caymus Vineyards where winemaker Charlie Wagner was kind enough to give a private tasting of the renowned Caymus Cabernet paired with rich cheeses and dark chocolate. Members strolled the vineyard and were given a behind-the-scenes tour encompassing everything from the growing process to the fully stocked cellar. After a long day in the sun we dined in the shade on The Carneros Inn patio for a stellar Napa sunset. Thank you to all the Members who made this event so memorable. Please check out our photo gallery of the day.

Just Drive!
