Buy Condo, Get Exoticar

A developer in the Miami area is currently offering a premium that we at Driving Today can heartily endorse. New purchasers in the ultra-luxury South of Fifth development will drive away in new $260,000 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyders when they acquire any of the development’s remaining oceanfront residences. The once-in-a-lifetime promotion came from developer Michael Samuel and Lamborghini Miami owner Brett David, who have joined forces to create the ultimate indulgence. Only 7 of the 28 elite oceanfront residences remain available, so you better act fast.

“There is simply no other development like South of Fifth and no other vehicle like Lamborghini,” said Michael Samuel, principal of Samuel & Co. “Melding the two is the ideal live/drive marriage for a very discriminating consumer.”

Located in the intimate, urban community south of Fifth Street (duh), the development is a stylish alternative to the high-rise condominium lifestyle common in the area and the last luxury low-rise to be built in Miami Beach’s SOFI neighborhood. The courtyard-style development offers 28 flow-through and oceanfront residences and 24-hour service. The designer-ready residences include private elevators and innovative smart-living platforms as well as open-air kitchens.

Available residences range from 2,500 to 6,200 square feet, priced at $6 to $8 million. Among those still available are two penthouses with private rooftop pools, two two-story beach house villas with four bedrooms and maid’s quarters, and three four-bedroom beachfront units with maid’s quarters. Each residence offers an open-plan design as a canvas to inspire a modern, more comfortable home, not to mention a cool car to house in the garage.
