Representing the ninth special edition boat created from this partnership, the Cigarette Racing 515 Project ONE is 51’ 5” in length and features an increased beam of 9’ 6” which allows 6 passengers the ability to be seated comfortably. The new boat offers an increase of over 30% greater surface area when compared to the existing 50’ Marauder, while still providing similar performance and an impressive 140 mph top speed through the use of a highly optimized composite structure consisting of carbon-fiber, Kevlar® and E-glass. Cigarette’s signature aggressive shoulders, which rise in the rear of the boat, also allow the integration of a large sun cushion on the flat exposed-weave carbon fiber hatch - despite the tall engines beneath - for maximum comfort and versatility when stationary.

Volume XV, Number 03

The boat’s deck is constructed completely of carbon fiber to reduce the total weight and lower the center mass of the boat. Carbon Fiber is also used for the inner structural laminate of the hull, forward bulkheads, cabin liner, engine hatch, consoles and storage hatches to significantly reduce the overall weight. For example, the air intakes, which are over 7ft long and 14 inches wide, weigh only 4.4 lbs. Overall, the weight optimized Cigarette Racing 515 Project ONE is over ten feet longer than the Cigarette Racing 41’ SD GT3 but it weighs over 5,000-lbs less. Kevlar® has also been used for tabbing bulkheads and around the edges of framing for its extreme toughness properties. “For 11 years, Cigarette Racing has been our trusted partner that has allowed us to extend our likeminded core performance principles from the land to the water,” said Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes AMG GmbH. “By directly translating Formula 1 technology from the track to the street, the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE is our most ambitious and awe-inspiring vehicle yet. It is incredible to see our vision reimagined for the water in such an impressive and highly compelling form.”

Highline Autos The Cigarette Racing Team worked in close cooperation with Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer for Daimler AG, to design the hallmark characteristics of the boat. The distinctive matte black and silver paint and special badging instantly evoke the unmistakable Mercedes-AMG Project ONE. This attention to every detail extends inside the cabin with extensive use of Dinamica and seatbacks constructed of exposed-weave carbon fiber. “As the hottest and coolest supercar we’ve ever created, the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE was our source of inspiration for the impressive new Cigarette Racing 515 Project ONE,” said Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer, Daimler AG. “Both embody Performance Luxury at its absolute best, and are destined to become design icons.” “Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing both have racing as part of their DNA, which makes us natural partners to work together to continue to push the limits of design and high performance,” said Skip Braver, CEO of Cigarette Racing. “Whether on land or on water our discerning customers demand the absolute best, so we are extremely proud to

unveil the Cigarette Racing Team 515 Project ONE. It is by far our most impressive high performance boat yet and represents a triumph of engineering that proudly reflects our unparalleled performance pedigree.” The Cigarette Racing Team 515 Project ONE is powered by a pair of Mercury Racing 1,350/1,550 QC4v (Quad Cam 4 Valve) engines and M8 stern drives, delivering up to 3,100 hp. These sophisticated powerplants are dual calibration engines, which enable the operator to switch engine power levels through an electronic key fob. The Race Key fob unlocks up to 1,550 hp, requiring race fuel. The Pleasure key fob is used for operating at 1,350 hp with 91 octane fuel. A staggered engine configuration lowers the center of gravity by allowing the motors to be placed closer to one another, deeper in the vee of the boat, which improves dynamics and stability. The Cigarette Racing 515 Project ONE draws inspiration from the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE, a two-seater supersports showcar that will bring the very latest and highly efficient Formula 1 hybrid technology from the race track to the road. This mid-engined (ahead of the rear axle) high-performance

The 1.6-liter V6 hybrid gasoline engine with direct injection and electrically assisted single turbocharging will transfer directly from the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 racing car. The high-performance plugin hybrid drive system will come directly from Formula 1, and will be realized in close cooperation with the motorsport experts of Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains in Brixworth, England.

A decadent foyer, festooned with touches of iron and Volume XV, Number 03

walnut, leads to the home’s bedrooms. The master suite comes complete with high-arching ceilings, a fireplace for cozy nights, and a view of the nearby Pinnacle Peak. Tenfoot-high corner windows bring welcome mornings and evenings with plenty of natural light beaming through.

formal living room and two dining rooms open up for evenings of hosting guests long through the night. Wanting to provide a little excitement or up the wow factor? Host a movie night or watch the big game in the home’s theater with seating for plenty and surround sound stereo. Looking to keep the energy up? Take your family or guests to the downstairs game room where air hockey, ping-pong or dart tournaments can be had. Those who fancy themselves as gourmets can steal away to the full-sized kitchen featuring top-of-the-line finishing and appliances, and a spacious island where families can create magical dinners and snacks. The full-view windows are an inviting addition along with soft white oak cabinetry with rain glass fronts, slab granite carved counters, and a Viking 60’ cooktop. An adjoining wet bar provides space for the perfect cocktail hour event, and a nearby office and flex room are available to get some work done. Frank Aazami, who represents this architectural beauty, notes the surroundings as an alluring oasis for any homeowner. “The outdoor vistas and majestic fairway views are Volume XV, Number 03

perfect to take in from the spacious patio,” he says. The outside grounds were meant for slowing down to take time to enjoy the surroundings like the backyard fountain and lavish deck where afternoons and evenings can be spent basking amid amazing desert views. For auto enthusiasts a front-of-house auto court allows enough space to park your collection of rides and an extended private drive leads to the adjoining guest house. And for those needing some more space to park their car collection, a three-car garage can house your additional inventory. “The house, with its gracious indoor parking, gives the opportunity to add lifts or an additional garage.” Contact Frank Aazami for a more in-depth look at this one-of-a-kind home listed at $4,250,000.

CONCOURS IN THE HILLS BREAKS DONATION, ATTENDANCE, SPONSORSHIP AND VEHICLE REGISTRATION RECORDS Written by Peter Volny Photos by David Urbanic Design by Matthew Cohn Concours in the Hills, Scuderia Southwest’s largest high performance, exotic and collector car event of the year, raised more than $117,000 for Phoenix Children’s Hospital during its Saturday, Feb. 10 show. The event celebrated its fifth year by smashing donation, attendance, vehicle and sponsorship records.

Concours in the Hills packed Fountain Park with 746 vehicles of all kinds, from classic American muscle to historic European sports cars, and everything in between – including a United States Marine Corps Viper helicopter, which was surrounded by Viper sports cars, and an Army Aviation Heritage Foundation Cobra helicopter, surrounded by about 30 Cobra sports cars. The show was opened by famous names in racing, including Bob Bondurant, Lyn St. James and Paul Tracy. Special features included a Jaguar D-Type, XK-SS and C-Type parked next to each other; a 1913 Bugatti Type 22 next to a contemporary Veyron; a LaFerrari next to the first Ferrari 812 Superfast in the state and a 2017 Ford GT. Racing cars included Jacques Villeneuve’s March Formula Atlantic car.

The event, free to spectators, required a minimum $60 donation to Phoenix Children’s Hospital in order to register a vehicle, though many donated more. Phoenix Children’s Hospital is Scuderia Southwest’s exclusive charity partner for 2018.

“Concours in the Hills is an incredible community event that just keeps getting better,” said Steve Schnall, senior vice president and chief development officer of Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation. “Scuderia Southwest’s ongoing commitment to the health, hope and healing at Phoenix Children’s Hospital speaks volumes about its priorities as a car club and philanthropic juggernaut. We are incredibly grateful for our relationship with them.”

More than 20,000 spectators attended 2018’s Concours in the Hills, versus 15,000 in 2017. Scuderia Southwest also garnered 78 sponsors for the event.

“We are thrilled to see Concours in the Hills grow into a premier car show in just five years, and we could not have done it without the community,” said Peter Volny, marketing and media director at Scuderia Southwest. “From the members of the public who exhibited their cars to volunteers that donated their time, Concours in the Hills continues its charitable tradition with the help of many.”

Scuderia Southwest will return to Fountain Park for the sixth annual Concours in the Hills on Saturday, February 9, 2019. For more information about Concours in the Hills, visit concoursinthehills.org.

Sushi bar

Executive Chef Joseph Castillo

Highline Living

Sushi Roku Unveils Seasonal Menu, Prepares for 10th Anniversary by David M. Brown Sushi Roku is on a roll. The 6,000-square-foot sushi bar and hip meeting place inside the W Scottsdale Hotel, 7277 E. Camelback Road, just east of Scottsdale Road, is continuing its successful spring menu, while preparing for a revived Sunday brunch, a 10thanniversary remodel, and, in October, 50-percent-off dinner specials four days a week to celebrate the landmark event. Under Executive Chef Joseph Castillo and General Manager Daniel Carr, Sushi Roku combines traditional sushi with California innovation, incorporating ingredients from Latin America, Europe, Korea, and Italy and Arizona, for rolls, entrées and new cooked robata items. Guests also enjoy a generous menu of sakes, wines, craft cocktails and beers, including a proprietary microbrew, Red Sun. Among the new drinks are the mescal-drenched Smokin’ Yuzu and The Bartender’s “Six” Cocktail, Sushi Roku’s Bartender’s Choice, the green tea-infused Matcha Mule, Everything Zen with Nigori Sake, Darjeeling Express, The Ish, with shishito peppers, and the Ginger Lychee Mojito. “It’s been one of our most successful years,” says Chef Castillo, a Pasadena, California, native who’s been in charge back of house since 2015. “I had the cooking seed planted young in me by my mom, who got me to attend classes at 5 at the local Bristol Farms market and taught me how to cook traditional Latino dishes Volume XV, Number 03

when I was 7. She knew so long as I could cook, I’d never be starving or have to settle for fast food.” After high school, he attended California School of Culinary Arts in Pasadena, took a student job at an Italian deli and then moved to the Patina Restaurant Group, opening its restaurant in Disney Concert Hall (the great Frank Gehrydesigned building). He also worked for Tony DiSalvo at his Jack’s, across from the Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, although that restaurant is closed now. In 2005, he joined Innovative Dining Group’s Boa Steakhouse on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood and also got an employee discount at the nearby Sushi Roku. “I became obsessed with sushi, ate my way through the menu and learned so much from the sushi chefs.” “The new menu has been fabulously successful for us,” says chef, who lives in Scottsdale. “I love it here in Arizona, the pace of life the weather and the sports.” Among the additions to the spring menu: the Octopus Crudo, with yuzu kosho olive oil and lemon; Tuna Tartare; the Avocado “Hanabi,” “fireworks” in Japanese, an innovative take on avocado toast; Chilled Roku Ramen, shrimp, sesame miso, cucumber and poached egg; the shareable Tuna Pizza, crispy mushroom, balsamic, wasabi, aioli and serrano; the Nova Scotia Lobster Tail; and Bamboo Rice Risotto, shrimp, scallop and truffles.

Toro Carpaccio

Katana Skewers

Lemon Souffle

Gensai Roll

Two new Signature Rolls are the Gensai with seared togarashi salmon, kizami wasabi and avocado, and the Senshi, yellowtail with cucumber, avocado and a spicy aioli. Regulars, be assured you can still find favorite entrées such as the Grilled Salmon, cooked on Japanese Binchō charcoal, with wasabi yuzu creme fraiche, blood orange and fennel, and Bigeye Tuna Poke, with soy chili oil and sushi rice. At a recent trip to Sushi Roku, chef began our tasty sampling with the fabulous Brussel Sprouts. “This is a wonderful starter, with white truffle oil and salt to wake up the palate,” he explains. “You know there are great other dishes behind it, still to come. It’s been so popular, my staff hates me they have to make so many,” he says with a smile. The Hamachi Serrano includes garlic, yuzu ponzu, serrano pepper and the fish, from Fiji. “This is another great opener for you and your friends. With its flavors and textures, you’re ready for your next step,” chef explains. That “next” for us was the Toro Carpaccio, served with tamari soy, kizami wasabi and prized Oscietra caviar and blue fin from Spain. “This is the fattiest part of the fish and pure decadence,” chef says. “Guests love it.” One of the new offerings isn’t sushi at all: Katana Robata Skewers, named for the company’s well-known Katana restaurants in Los Angeles and the recently opened Chicago Katana. Five skewers are available, cooked on Binchō coals: Filet Volume XV, Number 03

Foie Gras & Asparagus, with sweet miso; J-Dori Chicken, teriyaki; American Kobe Beef, black pepper sauce; Shrimp Bacon, Ebi bacon, chile garlic sauce; and Chilean Sea Bass, yakatori sauce. “The coals have been compressed in a vacuum and burn long without flames,” chef says. “So you get a mellow smoky taste, and the juice and flavor are sealed in.” This is very popular with the customers, too. “The skewers are for those who don’t like sushi, and they can order the Robata by the piece and mix and match.” A final entrée was a new roll, the Gensai, with seared togarashi salmon, kizami wasabi and avocado. Finally, our innovative dessert was the Frozen Lemon Soufflé with raspberry, whipped cream, vanilla scented granola and shiso, an herb in the mint family. “It’s light, refreshing and cool and finished with a paintbrush rub of raspberry sauce on the plate,” chef says. “It’s a carnival of textures and tastes: Enjoy.” Sushi Roku is open for traditional American breakfast as well as its signature lunch and dinner, 7 a.m.–2:30 p.m. daily (lunch begins at 11 a.m.) and dinner Sunday through Wednesday, 5 p.m.–10:30 p.m., and Thursday to Saturday, 5–11:30 p.m. Daily Happy Hour is 4–6:30 p.m. For more information and reservations, which are recommended, especially on the weekends, call 480.970.2121, visit sushiroku.com or follow on social media @sushirokuAZ.

SCUDERIA SOUTHWEST FEBRUARY SCOTTSDALE MOTORSPORTS GATHERING

POST PHOTO COVERAGE Written by Peter Volny Photos by David Urbanic Design by Matthew Cohn If you have any interest in cars at all this is the place to be early on the first Saturday morning of every month all year long. Starting as early as 6AM, even though the show doesn’t officially open until 7AM running to 10AM, a steady stream of cars enters the enormous parking lot of the Scottsdale 101 Shopping Center. Crowds of enthusiastic people are there that early to video the sights and sounds of these colorful, and often loud, high-performance machines.

The feature for February was a “Salute to our Police and Military” who brought out many very interesting vehicles including their Incident Command Center showing how they take control at emergency situations and a very spectacular Mustang which you would not want chasing you.

The show is arranged by nationality with rows for Italian, German, British and Asian cars plus a huge section for American cars and another for motorcycles. Want to see the latest and greatest Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren? How about the newest Ford GT or Corvette? Perhaps highly modified Mustangs, Camaros or Challengers are more to your liking. Then there are classics such as an ultra-rare and valuable, genuine 1955 competition MercedesBenz 300SL Gullwing. This show has them all and much, much more.

The feature for Saturday March 3 is British cars so come on out to see some awesome cars from Aston Martin, Austin Healy, BMC, Jaguar, Lotus, McLaren, MG, Morgan, Triumph and others. Photographs of previous shows can be seen at www.scuderiasouthwest.com

NEW LIVE-WORK-PLAY DESTINATION TO TRANSFORM TEMPE The Watermark, the first vertically integrated mixed-use development in the city, to radically transform the landscape with a unique lakeside destination Tempe’s skyline—and its destination options—will soon be dramatically more unique, with a 1.9 million sf project that creates an emotional link between the old and the new spaces of the city. Nestled against the northern bank of Tempe Town Lake and its boardwalk comes The Watermark, a new development unlike any other locally, created by and for Tempe’s current and future residents. In a unique move, The Watermark’s creation was a collaboration between the developers and current city residents, who provided input as to the project’s vision. The result is a pedestrian-friendly, inviting, vibrant and sophisticated destination that will be the backdrop for heartwarming memories for generations. Sporting 1.9 million square feet upon completion, The Watermark is a high-end, mixed-use project by Fenix Development. Currently under construction, it features stunning architecture with breathtaking features, and will include luxury apartments, premium office space, carefully selected restaurants, retail shops, and a business-class hotel. Exquisite attention to design and details was central to the Volume XV, Number 03

one-of-a-kind project, which has already attracted high-level restaurants and shops. The project will also be central to the current rise of Tempe as a tech hub, offering an attractive office and living space option to the many companies relocating from Silicon Valley and Austin, Texas. “The Watermark is a new chapter in the history of north Tempe. This project will be the Valley’s preeminent live-work-play environment, setting a new standard for [the city],” says Mike Loretz, Project Manager of Fenix Development, the Los Angeles-based real estate and development company. Phase I of the project is currently underway and includes a 250,000 sf office tower, 43,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, and 360 luxury apartments. This phase is scheduled to be completed in January of 2019. Future phases include a second 360,000 sf office tower and an additional 20,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, and a 170 room hotel.

In the office tower, details will include floor-to-ceiling glass around the building, offering spectacular views of the Valley and Tempe Town Lake; an impressive Sky Lobby with amenities such as the Game Room, Fitness Center, Lounge, Conference Center and Sky Terrace; and a Skywalk Bridge that will connect a parking structure to the eighth floor Sky Lobby. Additionally, the Skywalk Bridge will be lit at night and will display kinetic shimmering dishes, resembling fish scales glimmering in the sun. The 85-foot-tall residential building will include two resort-style pools; a 4,000 sf, glass-walled fitness center overlooking the lake; an aquatic activities center; an outdoor movie theater; a business center; and a clubhouse. Other development features include a splash pad located in the center plaza of the development. “The entire project was benchmarked to be one of the best in the Valley in terms of design, finishes and amenities,” says David Norouzi, President of Fenix Development, “and given the site’s lake-frontage, easy access, abundant parking and proximity to the 202 Freeway, we hope Watermark will become Tempe’s new gathering place.” “The Watermark is a truly great example of forward thinking and will set a new standard for a live-work environment in the Valley,” says Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell. The Watermark is located at 430 N. Scottsdale Road, Tempe. For more information, visit watermarktempe.com. Volume XV, Number 03

Born from racing: the new 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS the most powerful naturally aspirated series-production 911 ever

Volume XV, Number 03

www.highline-autos.com


Highline Autos The Porsche motorsport department is presenting Weissach’s latest treat at the Geneva Motor Show: the 2019 911 GT3 RS with a race-bred chassis and a high-revving four-liter, naturally aspirated engine producing 520 horsepower and 346 lb.-ft. of torque. Based on the 911 GT3, the RS has been refined even further, combining the most powerful naturally aspirated engine ever fitted to a road-legal 911 with a suspension that features recalibrated rear axle steering tuned for maximum dynamics and precision. The new 911 GT3 RS accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds quicker than the current 911 GT3 with PDK and 0.1 seconds quicker than the previous 911 GT3 RS. Top track speed of the 2019 911 GT3 RS is 193 mph. Following the launch of the 2018 911 GT3 and the 2018 911 GT2 RS, the new 911 GT3 RS represents the third road-legal GT model to be unveiled within a year. Race-inspired aerodynamics and lightweight construction Aerodynamics and lightweight construction have determined

Volume XV, Number 03

the design of the wide, weight-optimized body with its classic fixed rear wing. Like on the 2018 911 GT3, the front and rear fascia are made of lightweight polyurethane. Additionally, the front trunk lid and fenders on the 911 GT3 RS are made of carbon fiber and the roof consists of magnesium. Like on the 2018 911 GT2 RS, NACA ducts in the front trunk lid optimize brake cooling without increasing drag. The front fascia features a spoiler lip that is larger than on the previous model, increasing downforce in conjunction with the larger side skirts. At the rear, the large wing mounted on the carbon fiber deck lid works in combination with a rear underbody diffusor. The result: The 2019 911 GT3 RS produces more than twice as much downforce as the regular 911 GT3 at 124 mph. The race-inspired appearance continues in the interior: Full Bucket Seats with carbon fiber reinforced backrests provide a high degree of lateral support to suit the vehicle’s exceptional level of lateral grip. Lightweight glass for the rear window and rear side windows, lightweight door panels with door opening loops, reduced

sound insulation, and the omission of rear seats emphasize the consistency of the material choices and the dedication to saving weight. The Alcantara steering wheel measuring 360 mm in diameter features a yellow 12 o’clock center marker. The most powerful naturally aspirated engine in a roadlegal 911 ever The four-liter, naturally aspirated flat-six engine from Porsche in the new 911 GT3 RS pushes the sports car to new limits: It delivers 20 horsepower more than the engine in the 2016 911 GT3 RS and the current 911 GT3. Plasma coated cylinder liners, a central oil supply through the crankshaft with larger bearing diameters, larger connecting rod bearings and the rigid valve train with shims to provide valve clearance compensation all carry over from the 2018 911 GT3. Capable of up to 9,000 rpm like the regular 911 GT3, the thoroughbred engine takes in ram air through openings in the rear quarter panels, and it is closely related to the unit used in current Porsche 911 race

cars. The unmistakable flat-six sound escapes the exhaust tips, which are made of titanium like the muffler itself. The engine is mated to a specifically tuned seven-speed PDK, which features performance-oriented gearing with the top track speed being reached in seventh gear, like all GT tuned PDK transmissions. Race-bred chassis Technology derived from motorsport ensures that the chassis offers exceptional driving dynamics. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), active engine mounts, rear axle steering, and the fully variable electronic locking rear differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+) are standard. Ball joints on all suspension links provide even greater precision than conventional bearings with rubber bushings. Furthermore, the new 911 GT3 RS features new helper springs at the front axle, in addition to the rear. As is customary for a Porsche GT model, the ride height, toe, camber, caster and sway bar settings of

Highline Autos the suspension can be adjusted to suit individual driver preferences. Forged lightweight wheels measuring 9.5 x 20 inches in diameter with newly developed 265/35 ultra-high performance (UHP) tires enhance agility and steering precision, while 12.5 x 21 inch wheels with 325/30 UHP tires mounted at the rear deliver excellent traction. Overall, the wider tires offer a significantly larger contact patch than those of the regular 911 GT3. Large cross-drilled grey cast iron rotors measuring 380 mm front and rear are standard, while the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake system with 410 mm rotors at the front and 390 mm rotors at the rear can be ordered as an option. The ceramic rotors weigh around 50 percent less than the castiron variants. Optional Weissach package and magnesium wheels for extra weight savings For particularly spirited drivers, the Porsche motorsport department has created an optional Weissach package to reduce the weight of the car even further. With this package, the front and rear sway bars and coupling rods, vehicle roof, steering wheel trim, and shift paddles on the steering wheel are all made of carbon fiber, reducing the weight by roughly 13 pounds. Optional forged magnesium wheels, weighing around 25 pounds less than the standard wheels, are available as well in conjunction with the Weissach package. When equipped with these options, the weight of the 911 GT3 RS drops to 3,153 pounds.

The MSRP is $187,500, not including available options or the $1,050 delivery, processing and handling fee. The Weissach Package is available for $18,000.

GreatGarages Power Play: Mark Pieloch’s American Muscle Car Museum by David M. Brown Mark J. Pieloch enjoys flexing his muscle cars, and he didn’t need George Atlas for directions. His American Muscle Car Museum in Melbourne, Florida, southeast of Orlando, numbers 26 Yenko Chevys, making his the most extensive collection in the world of these signature Corvairs, Camaros, Novas and Chevelles. The collection of 281 American muscle cars also has more than 100 first-place national-show winning frame-off restored cars; 47 years of Indy 500 Pace Cars and Trucks, 1955 through 2017; 30-plus Shelbys, including a 2017; and eight Ford GTs, representing every color built. Sixty-three of the vehicles show less than 100 original miles, 36 between 100 to 999 miles and another 36 vehicles from 1,000 to 9,999. “I have made an extra effort to acquire low-mileage great-quality cars,” says Pieloch, a Melbourne, Florida, resident who has owned four pharmaceutical-industry firms in the last 30 years, five in various states and one now in Melbourne. “In this way, the cars show in the museum today much as they did from the factory decades ago.” Volume XV, Number 03

Still, excepting very low-mile vehicles, all of the cars are started and driven regularly on the expansive 42 acres of grounds, with tracks up to a quarter-mile in length. The other cars are also regularly started. To ensure quick starts for all vehicles, the museum uses CTEK chargers which incorporate a proprietary eight-step charging process to desulfate the batteries and maintain them in top condition. In addition, Pieloch’s collection has vintage balloon tire bicycles, auto-related neon signs, antique gas pumps, juke boxes, pedal cars, vintage soda coolers, motorcycles and other automobilia. The 501(c)3 private museum is about a mile and a half from Interstate 95, at 3500 Sarno Road, making it convenient for visitors to Orlando and other Florida cities. The 123,000-square-foot building incorporates a clear span ceiling, providing for minimal columns and expansive views of the collection. This includes 90,000 square feet of vehicle display area, an 18,000-square-foot showroom and a 15,000-square-foot maintenance and restoration facility.

As part of its sustainable commitment, 1,200 solar panels provide 100 percent of the power for the facility, and Pieloch sells the rest to the grid. Because of the green elements and coastal storm requirements, the building required two years for Melbourne-based Tom Davis Construction to complete. “We built it to withstand 225-mile-per-hour winds to protect our collection, our associates and guests,” Pieloch explains. “Because we are a private museum, we are not open to the public, but we host numerous nonprofit fundraisers, car activities, charities and educational tours for school-age children,” Pieloch explains, noting that approximately two of these are held each week. “We’ve had Porsche and Corvette autocrosses, numerous fundraisers for various nonprofit groups, free tours for Boy Scout troops, automotive students, special needs programs, Brevard County’s Pet Posse, veterans groups, the Air Force Thunderbirds and breast-cancer-awareness events,” he adds. “They have been very successful and have raised millions of dollars for worthy causes.” Cars Run in the Family “Our family was big on cars,” Pieloch says. Growing up in native Gardner, a city of about 20,000 people in northern Massachusetts, he was part of a car family. His dad and brother enjoyed restoring cars, his uncle owned a junkyard, and he collected Matchbox cars from the money he earned for his weekly chores, so everything was car-related connected. His first restoration was a 1967 Ford Ranch wagon. “I spent a lot of time, restored it and it was stolen,” he recalls. After graduating from the University of Massachusetts with a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy and a master’s in Volume XV, Number 03

industrial pharmacy from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston, he earned an MBA from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. “I specialized in product development in my career and worked at first for a number of large companies, including what is now GlaxoSmithKline. I then opened my first company, focusing on research.” He started acquiring his cars in 2000. “I bought slowly and deliberately, some private parties some at auctions,” he explains. These include many examples of GM, Ford and Mopar muscle such as a ’69 Pontiac Judge GTO with Stage 3 Ram Air heads and a 1987 Buick GNX showing 12 original miles. He’s particularly proud of his Yenkos –– at least one for every year and body style built, including the first in 1969, Don Yenko’s personal car. Among the rarities is a Corvair, the first of the magical Yenko Chevy transformations: “This really represents what Don Yenko loved to do: Take a small displacement engine as in the Monza model and make it hum, working it to higher horsepower.” The museum also shows a Yenko Vega, which produces a potent 220 horses. “Our museum is a unique opportunity for individuals and groups to enjoy the great era of muscle cars up close, personal and behind closed doors,” he says. A Cobra, A Boss and Behind the ‘8 Ball’ Here’s a look at six examples of Pieloch’s collection of amazing muscle: •1966 Shelby Mk III 427 Cobra –– CSX 3210, Midnight Blue on Black, sold originally by Tasca Ford in Providence,

Rhode Island, to McManus Ford Sales in Wakefield, Massachusetts, and then to Elliot Grant, who lived in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. The great 427 block outputs about 480 horses. In 2010, the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) liked its looks, too, awarding it first place. “Elliot gave it to his son, Steve, as a high school graduation gift,” Pieloch says. “What a dad!” Steve then drove the car to and from Parson’s College in Fairfield, Iowa, a 1,300-mile one-way trip. “Average speed: “100-plus miles per hour with a few 160-mile-per-hour speeds,” Pieloch says. How many tickets? “None: He never stopped.” •1965 Shelby GT350 Prototype –– Committed to “Total Performance,” Ford turned to Carroll Shelby to transform selected Mustangs for performance models through homologation for SCCA competition. The first ten of these prototypes went to Shelby American’s Princeton Street shop in Los Angeles, and SFM5014R is the tenth, completed in January 1965. Fetchingly liveried in Wimbledon White/Guardsman Blue on a black interior, the feisty 289-cid/306-horsepower car is linked to a four-speed manual. Volume XV, Number 03

In 2006, Wisconsin Shelby specialist Randy Bailey completed a concours-level restoration, and the car was shown at the Shelby American Museum in Boulder, Colorado, and featured in the book Shelby Cars in Detail. Why the “R” designation? GT350 Chuck Cantwell has said, in part: “None of the first ten prototypes were built as either ‘S’ or ‘R’ designated cars . . . so it’s anyone’s guess why it was added. Maybe someone just got mixed up.” Nice mix-up. •1968 Yenko Camaro –– The Sequoia Green on black vinyl classic was one of the first group of 20 Yenko Camaros built this year and sold originally from Branine Chevrolet in Mulrane, Kansas. At the 2017 Amelia Island Concours, just past, it notched Best Muscle Car. This is the lowest-mileage Yenko Camaro known, with just 1,318 miles, Pieloch says. How? “In 1970, it was sold to A.J. Lancaster, a drag racer and Memphis Rodders club member who competed with it in NHRA. He stored the original engine,” Pieloch explains. “When he retired from racing, he had the original engine reinstalled, and that is what we have today.” •1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro –– Lemans Blue on Black

Restored by Gary Holub in 2007, it has COPO Connection Certification. •1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe “8 Ball” –– The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) “A” road racer was campaigned by Bergen & Johnson with the distinctive “8 Ball” logo. Black with yellow stripes on a Saddle interior, the car is equipped with a 427-cid, generating 600 horsepower through a fourspeed-manual M-21 tranny. “It came to us after a body-off restoration, multiple national awards and appearances in movies and magazines,” Pieloch says. For three years, 1966-1968, the “Eight Ball” was the SCAA “A” class regional champion and won the annual N.C.R.S. Heritage Award. “The National Corvette Restoration Society awards this to only one Corvette each year nationally,” Pieloch says. Volume XV, Number 03

Bugatti Atlantic Wins The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award for 2017

A 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic was selected from among eight finalists for the third annual The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award during the Paris Rétromobile event February 8, the first time in the City of Light. Held at The Peninsula Paris hotel, the event showcased eight of the world’s finest classic cars — the best of show winners from the top international concours — which competed for the title of the most exceptional motor car in the world. The Bugatti is co-owned by the Mullin Automotive Museum and Rob and Melani Walton, and was named “Best of Show Concours d’Etat” at the 2017 Chantilly Arts & Elegance. Powered by a supercharged engine and considered by many to be the first supercar ever made, the winning Bugatti is one of four Type 57 Atlantic models ever produced, with Volume XV, Number 03

only three remaining. The vehicle was designed at the height of the Art Deco movement by Jean Bugatti, Ettore Bugatti’s son. He based the car on his 1935 Aérolithe concept car, which was riveted externally for fear of the magnesium-alloy body parts catching fire. The other “Best of Show” finalists and the event where they became finalists: 1929 Mercedes-Benz S Roadster by Barker (Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance); 1933/35 Lancia Astura Aerodinamica Coupé by Castagna (Concours of Elegance Hampton Court Palace); 1939 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Spider by Touring (Amelia Island Concours de Sport); 1951 Ferrari 212 Export Cabriolet by Vignale, design by Giovanni Michelotti (The Gran Turismo Ferrari Cup, Cavallino Classic); 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale Prototipo by Bertone, design by Franco Scaglione (Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este); 1957 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet by Pinin Farina (Goodwood Cartier Style et Luxe Concours d’Elegance); and a 1964 ATS 2500 GTS Coupé by Allemano, design by Franco Scaglione (The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering). “My great hope is that we not only succeed in thrilling long-term car enthusiasts but that this award will also ignite a new-found passion for those just discovering the world of motoring,” says The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie, co-founder of the award and chairman of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited, owner and operator of The Peninsula Hotels.

Camry Takes on Fast Lane with New XSE Model Written by David M. Brown The popular Camry is now leading a double life. Showing the profile most recognize from 35 years of success in the United States — as the traditional family car — the Camry continues to sell briskly. From its other guise, more edgy, sexy and adventurous, the new Camry XSE is not immediately recognizable. Is this the car we all know, the family–centric Olds Cutlass of this era? Or is it a debut entry-level performance sedan? The new performance Camry XSE is propelled by a 3.5liter dual-overhead-cam, dual-injection V-6, producing 301 horsepower with 267 lb-ft of torque, linked to an eight-speed direct-shift transmission that’s equally committed to delivering good gas efficiency as well as superb responsiveness through the rpm range. As with the first Camry in 1983, the car is front-wheel drive. Today’s XSE delivers stop to 60 mph in an exhilarating sub six seconds, about two seconds quicker than the four-cylinderequipped base model. In the mid ‘60s muscle-car zenith, that was considered brag performance for a potent V-8, a Pontiac GTO, a big-block Corvette, a ‘Cuda. In the day, The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean would be charting songs about this. Yes, a Camry, with 26 miles per gallon, an estimated annual fuel cost for the average driver of $1,400 and “go” features such a Sequential Shift Mode for manual-like control without clutching and a Sport-Tuned Suspension for tight highway maneuvering and, well, a little safe fun. Compare the first LE Camry — “kanmuri” or “crown” in Japanese — available as a pre-production prototype in 1983, replacing the carmaker’s Corona, with a two-liter, four-cylinder single-overhead cam producing 92 horses at 4200 rpm and a four-speed automatic. That “Oh What a Feeling/Toyota” notched 52,561 sales in the inaugural year: a harbinger of its robust run since. The first Georgetown, Kentucky plant-produced LE was in 1989, with 115 horses; that August 29, the one-millionth Camry was sold in the U.S. With 255,252 units, the Camry was Toyota’s best-selling car. For the last 15 years, it’s been America’s best-seller. In January 2018, the redesigned Camry’s sales grew 21.3 Volume XV, Number 03

percent, says The American International Automobile Dealers Association (AIADA), which releases monthly figures on vehicles manufactured by internationally headquartered companies available in the United States. “We are proud that the Camry remains the top-selling passenger car in the U.S., a distinction it held throughout 2017,” says Christine N. Henley, Western Communications manager for Toyota Motor North America in Torrance, California. The new Camry XSE shares the high-output V-6 with the slightly more expensive Avalon, the Toyota flagship model. “The engines are tuned differently for each model, hence the different power outputs, and the Avalon transmission is a sixspeed automatic,” she explains, noting that the rear suspension and stabilizer bar are also different for the Avalon. Other sport-design and performance components on the XSE are new character lines, 19-inch black machined-finish alloy wheels, a rear spoiler lip and a rear bumper with distinctive corner lines, smoke-tinted rear combination lamps, a diffuser and chrome-tip dual exhausts. Up front are large side intakes on either side of the lower bumper’s “catamaran-inspired” accents, a high and slim upper intake and a gloss black mesh grille, reminiscent of the company’s Lexus models. Our road-test Camry XSE had standards including Toyota Safety Sense, Entune™ 3.0 multimedia, with Bluetooth and GPS and available connections such as remote start and door unlock capability, vehicle status notifications, a guest driver monitor and vehicle finder. Among other upgrades in this car: the optional, and gorgeously rakish, Ruby Flare Red livery; Driver’s Assist Package, with the Bird’s Eye View Camera; and the Navigation Package with Entune™ premium audio and upgraded navigation. The Monroney delivered price: $38,230. The basic Camry starts at $23,495. Performance-minded Highline Autos readers might want to explore this enhanced Camry. Says Toyota Chief Engineer Masato Katsumata: “We wanted to make an impact –– to shake things up and leave a lasting impression with current and new owners.”
