Park Place Dealerships to Open Jaguar Land Rover DFW July 1st

Third Dealership for Park Place in Northeast Tarrant County

With construction completed and the final design details nearly finished, Park Place Dealerships will open its newest dealership, Jaguar Land Rover DFW, on July 1 in Grapevine. Located on the south side of Highway 114 between Main Street and Texan Trail Parkway, the dealership sits on eight acres and is the third dealership in Northeast Tarrant County for the company.

Park Place has moved its Jaguar dealership from Plano to Grapevine and has added the Land Rover brand to its portfolio.

“Northeast Tarrant County has been growing at a great rate since we opened the Lexus dealership in 2000,” said Ken Schnitzer, chairman of Park Place Dealerships. “We moved our Mercedes-Benz dealership from the Mid-Cities to Grapevine in 2012 and we recently broke ground on a Porsche dealership which we plan to open next year. To say we love doing business in this area may be an understatement.”

Jaguar has a strong following for its vehicles including the XE and F-PACE, the first SUV in the brand’s history. Land Rover is an iconic brand and just introduced the new Ranger Rover Velar at the New York Auto Show which goes on sale later this summer. Jaguar Land Rover just recorded one of its best sales month in May for the company with Jaguar Land Rover U.S. sales for both brands up 14 percent over May 2016. Year to date, Jaguar Land Rover is up 22 percent in the United States.

Jaguar Land Rover DFW is a two-story, LEED-certified facility. The shop includes 34 service bays and an 18-car service drive. The showroom can accommodate up to 12 new Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles. A nine-car service drive and 2,800 square foot carwash will round out the areas dedicated to serving a client’s needs. Upon opening, Jaguar Land Rover DFW will have 70 employees.

“We will be adding jobs as we begin to assess new positions that will be needed to best serve our clients in the Park Place manner,” remarked Jordan Case, President of Park Place Dealerships. “We are always looking for people who enjoy taking care of others and working in an environment where they are valued.”

The Park Place brand has become synonymous with offering clients a high-quality ownership experience. The company continues to be recognized locally and nationally with top honors for its customer service, sales, and excellent processes.

Park Place Jaguar Plano was named a recipient of the 2016 Pride of Jaguar Retailer Excellence five years in a row. Only 16 of the 162 Jaguar dealers across the United Stated were selected based on being top performers in three core business categories; customer advocacy, sales and business excellence. Out of the 16, only one Jaguar retailer is awarded the esteemed Marque of Distinction title for being the top retailer for its brand. Jaguar Plano earned the Marque of Distinction as the #1 Jaguar dealership in the country three years in a row.

About Jaguar Land Rover

The origins of Jaguar can be traced back to a company that began by making motorcycle sidecars in 1922. The Swallow Sidecar Company later started building automobiles and moved to Coventry, switching its name to Jaguar after the Second World War. It produced premium saloons and sports cars, including the legendary XK120.

After Tata Motors, India’s largest automobile manufacturer, acquired Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford in 2008, it merged the two marques into a single company. U.S. sales for Jaguar Land Rover surpassed 105,000 in 2016 which was an annual sales record for the two brands. Land Rover reached a new annual high mark of 73,861 units, an increase of five percent from 2015.

Park Place Premier Collection Reveals New McLaren 720S

The valet in front of the DEC on Dragon Street in the Design District resembled an exotic car show as a seemingly endless parade of McLaren, Porsche, Bentley and Rolls-Royce supercars arrived with a symphony of snarling and guttural engine notes. Park Place Premier Collection recently unveiled the new McLaren 720S, the second generation model in the Super Series segment, to an invitation-only crowd.

Guests enjoyed the Speedy Kiwi craft cocktail made with Reyka Vodka and modern bites like seared ahi tuna and lobster tacos while awaiting the electrifying reveal, which was orchestrated to a pulsating light show.

Designed with a new, lighter carbon-fiber chassis and powered by an astonishing 710 horsepower twin turbo, 4.0 Liter V8, the beautiful beast can leap from 0-to-60 mph in 2.8 seconds. Perhaps even more impressive, it will rocket from 0-to-124 mph in only 7.8 seconds, and tackles the quarter miles in just over 10 seconds with a top speed of 212 mph. And it does so with unparalleled control due to the innovative Proactive Chassis Control II, developed using advanced algorithms in a Cambridge University doctoral program. But don’t worry; it’s still ultimately driver-focused. Variable Drift Control allows the driver to determine the amount of drift and oversteer the traction control allows before intervening.

Twin-hinged dihedral doors sweep forward and up to an 80-degree angle for easy access to the stylish cockpit. The 720S generates 50-percent more downforce than the 650S, double the overall aerodynamic efficiency and 15-percent more efficient cooling. The integrated rear spoiler automatically adjusts to the optimal aerodynamic needs. It adapts to its most extreme airbrake angle in less than half a second to stop on a dime.

Starting at $289,000, driver engagement was clearly the focus for the design and technology behind the new 720S. But it also offers features to make this supercar supremely comfortable as a daily driver. Because even supercar drivers need storage, the 720S features best-in-class storage; static, adaptive headlights that follow the cars directions even on steep corners; and 360-degree park assist with four cameras, four front parking sensors and four rear sensors.

Mere words and photos are incapable of describing this stunning supercar. Stop by the Park Place Premier Collection, located at 5300 Lemmon Avenue near Love Field, to get up close and personal with this ravishing beauty.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Dallas Unveils Black Badge Editions

Dark and moody visions of Rolls-Royce Wraith and Ghost lined the street in front of the Tipsy Alchemist off Cedar Springs in Dallas. Upstairs in the luxurious lounge, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Dallas partnered with Allie Beth Allman & Associates to host a soirée worthy of the luxurious carriages being launched.

Guests enjoyed fresh sushi and sliders while sipping craft cocktails made with ultra-premium Clase Azul Tequila and Chopin Vodka. Guests also enjoyed Peroni lagers.

A live auction raised more than $12,000 to benefit the Austin Street Center, an emergency shelter that has served Dallas’ homeless for more than 30 years.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge speaks to the more assertive, confident and demanding aesthetic of a new breed of Rolls-Royce owner – today’s generation of young, self-empowered, confident rule-breakers who are uncompromising and unapologetic in their lifestyle.

“Black Badge is an aspect of the Rolls-Royce brand that appeals to those people who are elusive and defiant,” said Torsten Müller-Otvos, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO. “The risk takers and disruptors who break the rules and laugh in the face of convention. They are driven by a restless spirit. They play hard and they change the world. Technically and aesthetically, Black Badge is the alter ego of Rolls-Royce, darker, more assertive, more powerful and more demanding. With Black Badge we have created the most commanding presence on the super-luxury landscape.”

The transformation of Rolls-Royce Ghost and Wraith into their Black Badge alter egos begins with the ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ who changes only in color to represent the brand’s dark obsession. She mutates into a high-gloss black vamp, flying thru the glistening cityscape after dark.

Inside, the Black Badge cabin is outfitted with aluminum-threaded carbon fiber – materials most often associated with stealth aircraft. To create this beautiful and innovative material, threads of aluminum just 0.014mm in diameter (thinner than a human hair) are woven together and bonded with carbon fiber. This unique material then has six coats of lacquer applied, is left to cure for 72 hours, and then is hand-polished to a mirror finish.

On the exterior, Black Badge brings the color black to new levels of intensity. More than a dozen layers of paint and lacquer are repeatedly hand polished – the most exacting paint and polishing process ever used for a solid paint color. The result is the deepest, darkest and most intense black ever seen on a production car.

Already the most powerful Rolls-Royce in the world at 624 horsepower, Wraith is the most driver-focused Rolls-Royce ever built. Wraith Black Badge benefits from even more torque (an extra 45 lb-ft.) in addition to tweaked air suspension and subtle changes to the transmission that translates into higher revs and quicker shifting for more spirited driving while preserving the unparalleled Rolls-Royce “magic carpet” ride.

Ghost Black Badge benefits from a power increase of 40 horsepower, while upgrades to the 8-speed automatic transmission give it an added sense of urgency in how it delivers its power.
