Premier Dealer Spotlight: Prancing Horse of Nashville — A Legacy of Excellence and Passion

The Bachman Ferrari Collection: A Legendary Legacy Carved in Passion, Preservation, and Prancing Horse Heritage In the world of automotive collecting, few collections evoke the same awe and admiration as The Bachman Ferrari Collection. Spanning decades of dedication, meticulous care, and a deep reverence for Ferrari’s history and engineering excellence, Phil Bachman’s private assembly of 46 rare and historic Ferrari models is nothing short of legendary. Partnered with Christopher Miele of Prancing Horse of Nashville — a premier MPH Ferrari dealer renowned for its passion, expertise, and integrity — this collection is set to be showcased at Mecum’s Kissimmee auction in January 2026, representing a rare confluence of history, craftsmanship, and unwavering devotion.  <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Blog_01_1920x1080_082bb5e748.jpg" alt="Blog_01_1920x1080.jpg"> 
<h3 dir="ltr">The Genesis of a Dream: Bachman’s First Ferrari and a Lifelong Passion</h3>
Phil Bachman’s journey into Ferrari’s world began in 1983, at an auto dealer trade show in Washington, D.C., where a striking yellow Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole caught his eye. Its sleek, classic lines, mid-engine stance, and distinctive appeal ignited something deep within him. Bachman famously says that this car “struck a chord” — a visceral connection that would shape his destiny. Within days, he ordered his own 308 GTS in a bold yellow hue, deliberately choosing a color outside Ferrari’s traditional red image. 
This yellow Ferrari was more than just a car; it was a family member. It carried Bachman’s wife Martha to the hospital to welcome their son, P.B., becoming embedded in their family’s story. This personal legacy cemented his affection for Ferrari—not just as an automaker but as a cherished symbol of life's milestones and memories. 
<h3 dir="ltr">Building an Iconic Collection: More Than Just Cars</h3>
Over the next four decades, Phil Bachman’s passion blossomed into a devotion. He sought out Ferraris not merely to collect, but to assemble a statement of artistry, performance, and rarity. His vision was to build an archive that would serve as a living tribute to Ferrari’s storied legacy — a collection rooted in authenticity, low mileage, and the last remaining examples of each model. 
One striking aspect of Bachman’s collecting philosophy was his desire to own the “last of the line” and the most original, low-mileage variants. His cars are pristine, often with documented histories, and insurmountable attention to detail in preservation. Many of his Ferraris have won awards at concours events, notably the Platinum awards from the Ferrari Club of America, recognizing their impeccable condition.

His unwavering commitment to care means these vehicles remain as close to their original factory state as when they rolled off the production line. Many are documented meticulously, adding to their historic and collectible value, and most have been restored by Ferrari specialists like David Carte to refine their originality and ensure they are preserved for generations. 
<h3 dir="ltr"><img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Blog_04_1920x1080_c1079146ab.jpg" alt="Blog_04_1920x1080.jpg"> The Relationship with Prancing Horse of Nashville</h3>

The Bachman Ferrari Collection: A Legendary Legacy Carved in Passion, Preservation, and Prancing Horse Heritage 

<h3 dir="ltr">Embrace the Luxury: A Complete Guide to the Joys and Investments of Supercar Ownership </h3>
Owning a supercar or hypercar is one of the most exhilarating milestones for automotive enthusiasts—it's not just about owning a vehicle; it's about embracing a lifestyle. These remarkable machines are the pinnacle of engineering, design, and performance, symbolizing success, passion, and exclusivity. Whether you’ve dreamt of a Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren 720S, Bugatti Chiron, or Pagani Huayra, stepping into the world of exotic cars opens doors to a universe filled with unmatched driving experiences, elite social circles, and unparalleled craftsmanship.
<h3 dir="ltr">Why Invest in an Exotic Car?</h3>
The allure of owning a supercar or hypercar is undeniable. These vehicles elevate your daily drive into a high-performance spectacle, turning heads wherever you go. They showcase cutting-edge technology, innovative aerodynamics, exotic materials, and bespoke craftsmanship. Brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Pagani, Bugatti, and Koenigsegg each bring their unique signature of performance and design—melding beauty, speed, and exclusivity into one extraordinary package.
 Beyond the thrill of the speed and handling, owning an exotic car is a statement of achievement and lifestyle. It’s about joining an elite community of enthusiasts who share a passion for automotive excellence and history. Attending prestigious events like the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, or Supercar Gatherings at The Quail, Lodge &amp; Golf Club, is a testament to the exclusivity that these cars afford.
<h3 dir="ltr">The Investment: More Than Just a Price Tag</h3>
While the initial purchase of a supercar or hypercar may seem daunting—with prices ranging from $200,000 for a Ferrari 488 or McLaren 720S, to over $3 million for a Bugatti Chiron or Pagani Huayra—you’re investing in a piece of automotive art and innovation. Limited editions and bespoke models not only hold their value but often appreciate over time, making them a meaningful financial asset.
 Responsible ownership, however, requires understanding the full scope of the investment. Partnering with experienced providers like Ferrari Houston, McLaren Newport Beach, Pagani Beverly Hills, and Bugatti Palm Beach ensures you receive the highest level of care, support, and access to exclusive events and upgrades.
<h3 dir="ltr">The True Costs &amp; Why They Enhance Your Experience</h3>
While the sticker price often captures the spotlight, the true cost of ownership extends well beyond—adding layers of maintenance, insurance, upgrades, and personalized touches. But here’s the exciting part: each expense is an opportunity to elevate your experience and ensure your vehicle remains in peak condition, preserving its value and your daily driving pleasure.
<h4 dir="ltr">Insurance: Protecting Your Passion</h4>
Insurance for exotic and hypercars is a crucial, yet rewarding aspect of ownership. High-value vehicles demand tailored coverage from specialist providers such as Hagerty, Chubb, or Grundy. These providers understand the nuances of exotic car ownership and offer policies that protect against theft, accident, damage, or loss of value, all while giving owners peace of mind. Premiums can range from $10,000 to $50,000 annually—an investment that’s well worth the security of your prized asset.
<h4 dir="ltr">Maintenance &amp; Servicing: Ensuring Peak Performance</h4>
Specialized maintenance isn’t just about keeping the car running—it’s about maintaining the meticulous craftsmanship and engineering integrity that makes these cars unique. Leading service providers like Ferrari of Beverly Hills, McLaren Beverly Hills, or Pagani Houston employ trained technicians equipped with factory-original parts and advanced diagnostic tools.
 Routine service such as oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections are standard, but major services—like engine rebuilds, transmission overhauls, or carbon fiber component replacements—can be costly. Nevertheless, these costs are an investment in longevity, performance, and resale value. Expect to spend anywhere from $3,000 per year on routine upkeep, to tens of thousands for major repairs if needed.
<h4 dir="ltr">Replacement Parts &amp; Wear &amp; Tear: Keeping Your Car Looking and Driving Like New</h4>
Supercars are built to perform at the highest levels—yet this performance can accelerate wear on components like tires, brakes, clutches, and electronics. For example, ultra-high-performance tires can cost $1,500 to $3,000 each and last only 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Carbon ceramic brakes, a standard feature on many hypercars, are an investment—costing upwards of $30,000 for replacement sets.
 High-tech electronics and bespoke interior materials—such as Alcantara, carbon fiber, or hand-stitched leather—are designed for luxury, but can be delicate or costly to repair if damaged. Regular upkeep with trusted specialists like Matrix Integrated or Eurocar Service ensures your vehicle continues to impress and perform at peak levels.
<h4 dir="ltr">Transportation and Storage: Protecting Your Investment</h4>
Transporting your supercar safely, especially across long distances for events or shows, is essential. Enclosed trailer services like Secure Auto Transport or HaUlly’s Transport provide climate-controlled, secure transportation that guards against the elements and road hazards. Expect costs between $1,000 and $5,000 per trip, depending on distance and the size of the vehicle.
 Proper storage is equally important. High-end garages or climate-controlled storage facilities like Guardian Vaults, Rex Storage, or Exotics World offer the perfect environment to preserve your investment. Monthly fees typically range from $500 to over $2,000, depending on location and amenities. These facilities provide not only security but also specialized care for your prized vehicle, ensuring it remains in pristine condition year-round.
<h4 dir="ltr">Customization &amp; Personalization: Making Your Car Uniquely Yours</h4>
One of the most exciting aspects of exotic car ownership is personalizing your vehicle. Whether it’s a bespoke paint job, interior upgrades with leather or Alcantara from Fehrman Leather, or performance upgrades such as exhaust systems from Akrapovič or ECU remapping from APR, customization allows you to create a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
 Cost varies—simple interior stitching upgrades might add $10,000, while full bespoke paint and extensive performance modifications could push prices above $200,000. Companies such as Novitec, Hamann, and Mansory specialize in high-end customization, turning your dream into a reality.
<h4 dir="ltr">Extended Warranties &amp; Service Plans</h4>
Given the complexity and cost of repairs, many owners choose extended warranties through providers like Ferrari Genuine Maintenance, McLaren Service Plans, or Pagani’s bespoke warranty options. These plans, costing between $10,000 and $50,000, cover major repairs and help safeguard your investment—giving peace of mind during your ownership journey.
<h4 dir="ltr">Detailing &amp; Car Care: Keeping Your Supercar Pristine</h4>
Proper care extends the life and luster of your vehicle. Regular detailing from high-end providers like Elite Auto Spa, Detailing Mafia, or Ultra Leather ensures your car looks stunning at every turn. Expect costs from $500 to $2,000 per session, especially if you opt for paint corrections or ceramic coatings.
 Applying advanced protective coatings from reputable brands like Ceramic Pro or Gtechniq significantly enhances your supercar's deep gloss and pristine appearance. These coatings, priced between $1,000 and $5,000 depending on the vehicle size and level of coverage, offer exceptional protection against scratches, environmental damage, UV rays, and chemical contaminants. For added peace of mind, many owners also install Paint Protection Film (PPF), which costs approximately $5,000 to $15,000 depending on the size of the vehicle and coverage area. PPF provides a durable, nearly invisible barrier that shields the entire body from stone chips, dings, and minor impacts. When used together, ceramic coatings and PPF not only keep your vehicle looking flawless but also preserve its value, ensuring it remains in show-quality condition for years to come.
 
<hr>
 
<h3 dir="ltr">Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Dive In</h3>
While the costs may seem considerable, owning an exotic or hypercar is an investment not only in a vehicle but in experiences, prestige, and community. The best part? The market for luxury cars continues to flourish, with many models appreciating in value over time.
Major dealers make it easier than ever for enthusiasts to access, buy, and maintain these incredible machines by offering financing options, pre-arranged import/export services, and concierge experiences to make ownership seamless and enjoyable.
<h3 dir="ltr">Join the Community of Enthusiasts</h3>
Ownership is a journey—one that’s filled with exciting road trips, exclusive events, and camaraderie among like-minded individuals. Clubs like the Ferrari Owners Club, McLaren Owners Group, and Supercar Owners Circle provide avenues to connect, share experiences, and enjoy curated driving events and track days.
<h3 dir="ltr">Final Words: Turn Passion into Reality</h3>
There’s no denying that the initial investment in a supercar or hypercar can be significant. However, the joy, prestige, and thrill that come with owning these masterpieces far outweigh the costs for passionate enthusiasts. Every detail, from the sound of the engine to the feel of the steering wheel, crafts an experience that can’t be replicated in ordinary vehicles.
 Think of your investment as more than an expense—see it as a gateway to a world of performance, style, and exclusivity. With the right partners—trusted dealers like Prestige Imports, Auto Gallery Beverly Hills, and specialized service providers—you can enjoy the journey fully, knowing your vehicle is cared for and optimized for years of excitement.
Your dream of owning a supercar or hypercar is within reach. It’s time to turn that passion into reality—embrace the extraordinary, live the dream, and experience the thrill that only a true automotive masterpiece can provide. Reach out today, and start your journey into the world of high-performance, luxury automotive excellence. About MPH

Premier Dealer Spotlight: Prestige Imports

<h3 dir="ltr">The History of the Lamborghini Murciélago: An Iconic Supercar</h3>
When it comes to Lamborghini’s legacy of extraordinary supercars, the Murciélago stands out as a true masterpiece that embodied the brand’s relentless pursuit of performance, innovation, and unmistakable style. Launched in 2001, the Murciélago marked Lamborghini’s return to the high-performance supercar scene after the Diablo era, solidifying its place as one of the most iconic models in Lamborghini’s storied history.
<h3 dir="ltr">The Birth of a Legend</h3>
The Murciélago’s name is inspired by a famous Spanish bull, continuing Lamborghini’s tradition of naming cars after fierce fighters. It pays homage to a bull known for strength and resilience, embodying Lamborghini’s aggressive design and raw power.
Designed by Luc Donckerwolke, the Murciélago debuted with a bold, angular aesthetic and signature scissor doors that made it an instant head-turner. Its lightweight carbon fiber structure and advanced aerodynamics kept it glued to the road at high speeds.
<h3 dir="ltr">Power and Innovation</h3>
Initially powered by a 6.2-liter V12 producing 572 hp, the Murciélago could sprint to 60 mph in around 3.8 seconds, reaching over 200 mph—a record for its time. Over its production run, Lamborghini introduced upgrades like the 2006 LP 640 with 631 hp, and the LP 670-4 SV, a lightweight, track-focused version with 661 hp and all-wheel drive.
<h3 dir="ltr">The 40th Anniversary Edition</h3>
In 2003, Lamborghini celebrated its 40th anniversary with a very special edition of the Murciélago — the Limited 40th Anniversary Edition. Only 50 units were produced worldwide, making it an ultra-rare collector’s item. This edition was distinguished by its unique Verde Artemis (a signature green tone), carbon fiber exterior trim, exclusive wheels, and a special interior with unique leather touches. It also featured a numbered plaque on the rear window and a custom exhaust system, celebrating four decades of Lamborghini’s relentless spirit.
<h3 dir="ltr">The End of an Era, but the Legend Continues</h3>
Production of the Murciélago ended in 2010, but its influence endures. Its blend of brutal power, edgy design, and exotic appeal made it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Today, the Murciélago remains a symbol of Lamborghini’s DNA: bold, aggressive, and uncompromising.
<h3 dir="ltr">Showcasing Murcielagos Today</h3>
We’re proud to feature several Murciélagos from our dealer network, including the rare 40th Anniversary Edition and Murciélago SV. Whether seeking a well-maintained classic or a low-mileage collector’s gem, the Murciélago continues to captivate with its ferocity and timeless style.

The History of the Lamborghini Murciélago: An Iconic Supercar

Lewis Hamilton’s Shift from Cars to Art—and His Dream of an Iconic Ferrari F40 Lewis Hamilton, the legendary seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, has recently made headlines with a significant lifestyle change: he’s sold his entire car collection to focus more on his passion for art. Once celebrated for his impressive garage filled with rare, high-performance vehicles—including a Pagani Zonda 760 LH, Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and even a 1995 McLaren F1—the British racing icon’s automotive chapter seems to have closed, at least for now.
 
Hamilton revealed that he no longer owns any cars, emphasizing his current interest in collecting art, which he considers more meaningful and lasting. However, despite his shift away from car collecting, he still harbors a deep admiration for one iconic Italian supercar: the Ferrari F40. This legendary machine, celebrated worldwide as a symbol of raw speed and design excellence, remains a dream car for him.
 
During recent interviews ahead of the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Hamilton was asked about his interest in future car acquisitions. His reply was telling: “I don't have any cars anymore... but if I was going to get a car, it would be the F40. But that’s a beautiful piece of art.” For Hamilton, the F40 isn’t just a supercar; it’s a piece of history and a work of art, embodying the perfect balance between engineering mastery and aesthetic brilliance. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Blog_Lewis_Hamilton_1920x1080_01_697f2eff06.jpg" alt="Blog_Lewis Hamilton_1920x1080_01.jpg"> 
 
Throughout his racing career, Hamilton’s love for automobiles extended beyond just ownership—he’s been seen driving some of the most exclusive and legendary vehicles. Before selling his collection, he was reported to have owned a selection of irresistible machines valued at around $17.5 million, housed in his private garages in Monaco and Los Angeles. While his full collection has never been officially confirmed, these are the cars he's been spotted driving or has previously acknowledged owning:
 
- Pagani Zonda 760 LH  
- Mercedes-AMG Project One  
- Mercedes-AMG SLS Black Series  
- Mercedes-AMG GT R (F1 safety car spec)  
- Mercedes-AMG G63 6×6  
- Mercedes-Maybach S600  
- Ferrari LaFerrari  
- Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta  
- Ferrari 599 SA Aperta  
- 1966 Shelby Cobra 427  
- 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (“Eleanor” replica)  
- McLaren P1  
- 1995 McLaren F1 (chassis 044)  
- Mini Cooper  
- Mercedes EQC  
  Interestingly, Hamilton’s true passion is motorcycles. He's often seen arriving at races on Italian superbikes such as his Ducati Panigale V4 S and a limited-edition MV Agusta F4 LH44, crafted in collaboration with the Italian manufacturer. Yet, despite his extensive collection of exceptional cars, Hamilton’s ultimate automotive dream remains the Ferrari F40. He’s even expressed a desire to design his own car, envisioned as an “F44”—a modern homage to the iconic F40, with a stick-shift gearbox and a focus on driving purity, which he plans to pursue in the coming years. 
<img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Blog_Lewis_Hamilton_1920x1080_03_1e97430c4d.jpg" alt="Blog_Lewis Hamilton_1920x1080_03.jpg">
 Hamilton’s evolving relationship with vehicles reflects his journey from adrenaline junkie to art aficionado. Even though he has stepped back from collecting cars, his admiration for the Ferrari F40 endures as a symbol of automotive artistry and engineering brilliance. Whether he will ever own one remains to be seen, but his passion for the classic Italian supercar is as strong as ever—proof that for him, some of the greatest machines are truly works of art.
