When you think Volvo brilliant pop art, graffiti-esc murals and spectacular cardboard sculptures might not be the first three images that drive off your tongue. They are a brand that puts a heavy emphasis on their safely, reliability and quality. Volvo has rarely been flashy, nothing outrageous, just always good and always dependable. Yet with these Volvo Art Sessions takes a unique approach to the almost one dimensional world of automotive advertising. For a brand whose edgiest approach in the last few years was a product placement of a station wagon driven by a dreamy vampire, this is a huge step. With the Volvo Art Sessions, the car is the canvas. Instead of emphasizing the vehicle itself Volvo gave artist from all around the globe the opportunity to create live works of art around, in and on its cars. This is a movement that the Swedish automakers have been pushing since 2011 but as of recent has gained my immense support for. The works of art that are created with these cars are spectacular and the way that the company captures it all in time-lapse fashion is brilliant. Take the Art, Form and Inspiration tag line for one of the projects in 2011 it took 10 days, 5 different artist on 1 car on 1 canvas to create the spectacular works of art.
After being constantly entertained by the creativity expressed by the Volvo brand, your image of the automaker is likely to change. Come by Park Place Volvo Dallas. We have one of the largest inventories of both new and used Volvo cars in Metroplex and our doors are wide open off at 3515 Inwood Rd.

For the first time in a long time, Bentley Motorsport grabbed a victory on American soil. The modern day Bentley Boys claimed the trophy in the race team’s ninth Pirelli World Challenge race of the year. Driver Guy Smith was behind the wheel of the GT3, a race-bred version of the iconic Continental GT, powered by a 4.0 liter, twin-turbo V8 engine. This GT3 takes the essence of the Continental GT and pushes it to the brink. More than 1000 kg of weight has been eliminated on this racecar, enabling it to land Bentley Motorsports back on top of the podium.
On his 40th birthday, Guy Smith was able to get on the pole and continue his quality driving – ending the event with the victory for Bentley Motorsport at the Miller Motorsport Park. The Dyson Racing Bentley Team not only took home the top spot in the race but finished with an extremely impressive first, second and third place standing. This marks the new era of Bentley racing as the team looks to build off of their recent success in the coming 2015 season. With this just being the first season back on the track for the one time legendary race team, more successes look to be in their headlights. Bentley
Motorsport was once the cornerstone of the racing world and they have high hopes of returning to the automotive glory that their brand was built upon.

The Rolls Royce Wraith is the fastest, most powerful car Rolls Royce has ever created. Under the hood is the same 6.6-liter twin-turbo V-12 as the Ghost, but power has been boosted from 563 hp at 5250 rpm to a healthy 624 hp at 5600 rpm, and torque increases from 575 lb-ft to 590. With more power and torque, the Wraith hits 60 mph in about 4.1 seconds, and runs the quarter mile in about 12.5 seconds. Another amazing feature the Wraith has is the Satellite aided transmission, which sees the road ahead that you can’t, and shifts the car’s gears properly just as a professional driver would. The Wraith never tries too hard to be a sports car. It is a gentleman’s touring car in the truest sense of the term. From the classic Rolls Royce grill with the signature Spirit of Ecstasy flying at the helm of the Wraith, to the tuned up engine that does sound much more sports car like than what we are used to from Rolls Royce, this car is a car meant for a man who is making moves in life.
Recently the Rolls-Royce Wraith Launch Film has been awarded a Gold Award at the 26th International Visual Communications Association (IVCA) Awards in London this year. The film, entitled ‘And the World Stood Still’, introduces Wraith as the most powerful and technologically-advanced Rolls-Royce in history. Filmed at a secret location near Barcelona, the shoot included a ‘Timeslice’ (frozen time) sequence created using 100 cameras, the longest purpose-built SLR camera rig in Europe, an award-winning film director, 36 computers, 1.5km of cables and one prototype Rolls-Royce Wraith. A ‘behind the scenes’ film was also launched after the Company was inundated with requests from fans across social media networks worldwide. The almost haunted mist seen throughout the short film relays the combination of the visible ideological juxtaposition inside the Wraith. The glamorous mystique of the Rolls-Royce brand mixed with the powerful V-12 placed in a chassis where it can really show you what it is made of. Everything inside, outside and about this vehicle is made from the finest materials on the globe, and every piece of the car was built and put together by hand. There is no mistaking this car for anything but a masterpiece. It is a chariot fit for kings.
If feel the urge to see if the crown fits you as well, visit Park Place Rolls Royce Motor Cars Dallas to experience the power and elegance that comes standard with any of the Rolls Royce Motor Cars.
