I can not tell you how many time’s I’ve heard the saying “Ohh It’s Just A Rental“. Has it ever occurred to people that even if it’s just a rental, that it’s still an Exotic. These “rentals” aren’t your typical Enterprise cars nor are they anywhere in the same ballpark price wise. If you are renting an Exotic it means that you have luxury to rent an exotic.  There are a few Exotic Car Rental Services out there but I have never seen any that compare to the professionalism of Signature Car Collection (Newark, New Jersey).

At a first glance from the outside it may not seem like much but as soon as you enter the building it is as though you have entered a garage fit for a king. 

Just by walking into their establishment you feel like you are about to become a part of something special. When entering I had walked in through their repair facility which could easily be described as any auto-enthusiast dream garage. The First thing I saw when walking in was a lamborghini gallardo on a lift. I soon learned that they worked on their own cars and had people on staff who were certified Lamborghini and exotic technicians.

To me this was something I truly respected about SCC because it shows that they are not only  about business. Anyone can rent exotics to clients but for a business to be passionate and care about their cars enough to have an entire garage dedicated to repairing and maintaining their vehicles shows a lot and is highly respectable in my opinion in this industry. 

This is not your typical Car Rental Company. Signature Car Collection also does Track events multiple times a year. They bring their company cars and allow people to drive these super cars the way they are meant to be driven. Upcoming Track dates can be viewed on their website.

They also have a collection of old classic super rare cars in the section right next to where they keep their exotics. We were unable to get in but from what I was told it was also converted into a catering hall,. They also have a cigar lounge on the upper level.

A lot of us have seen the Koenigsegg for the first time at the end of the Fast and Furious 5. Or maybe you just saw the new Need For Speed Movie and fell in love with the beauty and speed of the car portrayed in the film. Regardless of how you know of this car it is a well known fact that this car is a BADASS. Today we are taking a look at a one of a kind Koenigsegg.

To start off we are looking at a the only Koenigsegg in NYS. To the untrained eye it looks like a normal Koenigsegg CCXR. But after looking closer and asking a few questions about the car we learned that this car actually has the Interior and Motor of a Koenigsegg Agera R. The stock CCXR has about  1018 hp at 7.200 rpm and does 10-60 in about 3.2 Seconds. The Agera R  has 1140 Horsepower and  a 0-60 in about 2.9 seconds. This car hasn’t been put on a track yet so we don’t know the exact numbers this car would run but it definitely is a unique build being that it is the only CCXRS in the world.This car is so custom that Koenigsegg named the car model after the car owner ( the added S stands for the last name of the owner of the car).

The Koenigsegg is not the only car that the owner has in his exotic line-up. He also owns a Ferrari 458 Italia, a Ferrari F12, a Ferrari California, and a Aston Martin Vanquish .

This is the definition of any mans dream toy house.

He also owns the entire hanger that we shot the cars in, along with one of the Jets seen. The other Jets in the hanger belong to people that rent space in his hanger. He is currently trying to organize a car show on the jet strip located right outside.
