Looks Like A Lambo, Drives Like A Solstice

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Auctions

A Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 for $70,000 on eBay? Well, not quite.. A 2008 Pontiac Solstice has been transformed into an ersatz Lambo. The chassis was stretched an extra 12-inches and a Murcielago replica body was added on. Inside it has leather seats with Lamborghini embroidery, electric door openers and there are 18-inch chrome wheels, grilles and color match calipers with Lamborghino logos. Under the hood, alas, it's still all Solstice (not that there's anything wrong with that). The auction ends November 3.

Solstice Destination Club

The San Francisco Business Times has a piece on another luxury destination club. Solstice is a San-Francisco-based company that offers a variety of destination options including Cabo San Lucas, Florence and the 90-foot Solstice yacht. The seven homes in the club are each valued at $5 million to $7 million and include a vehicle for members' use. As Greg Shove of the Helium Report is quoted as saying in the article, they are a boutique club aimed more at the high-end than other clubs that have popped up recently. Perhaps that's because it was created by someone who had a second home but grew weary of the maintenance and the sense of being tethered to one location. You can pick up four weeks at a Solstice house for annual dues of $39,500 and there is also a membership deposit of $825,000. They plan to only have 42 members and are at 36 now so if you want in, now is the time.
