Grand Touring Automobiles pulls out all the stops at CIAS

1-Grand-tourning-300Luxury dealer group Grand Touring Automobiles (GTA) is presenting several ultra-exclusive vehicles at their all-new display, at the 2014 Canadian International AutoShow (CIAS), which runs until this Sunday (February 23) at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Three of these vehicles hail from the company’s flagship showroom at 740 Dupont Street in Toronto, Ont. while another pair celebrate Lamborghini Uptown Toronto — a Maple, Ont. dealership which opened its doors last summer.

As the official dealer partner of Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Rolls-Royce and now, Lamborghini, GTA says it is proud to be able to showcase some of the latest offerings from these exclusive brands.

The 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante has been called one of the most beautiful vehicles on the road today and is a world-class GT car in every sense of the word. Under the car’s sculpted hood, the 6.0-litre V-12 engine generates 585 horsepower, 457 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 295 km/h.

The latest-generation Bentley Continental Flying Spur, introduced to the world last year, represents a significant step up from the previous iteration, in terms of style and performance. This elegant sedan features a 6.0-litre W-12 engine (616 hp; 590 lb-ft) and a comprehensive list of amenities.

The 2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith has been called one of the most unique cars in the world, and for good reason. With its 6.6-litre V-12 engine (624 hp; 590 lb-ft), the Wraith is the fastest Rolls-Royce in the 110-year history of the brand. This car also boasts a fastback silhouette that is completely unique and simply stunning. With the optional two-tone paint scheme and Canadel inner door panels, the car creates an illusion of traveling at speed even when parked.

The final super-car on display in the GTA booth is, arguably, the most eye-catching of them all – the 2014 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4.

“We’re thrilled to be able to bring these very special cars to the Canadian International Auto Show,” says Shawn Morris, Vice-President of Operations for Grand Touring Automobiles. “We’re proud of all our brands and we’re especially proud to be representing Lamborghini at the show for the first time.”

Armed with 700 horsepower, all-wheel drive and a top speed of 350 km/h, the Aventador is one of the fastest and most audacious cars on the planet, period. Also on display is a 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo racecar, which is presented in partnership with the Toronto Star.

“Our Gallardo was on the podium numerous times in the Super Trofeo competition last year and is certain to seize greatness as the series evolves this year,” Morris adds. “And if any car deserves the supersports designation, it’s the Aventador — it’s everything that the Lamborghini brand stands for.”

All of these exotics will be on display in the GTA booth, which is located on the 100 level of the North Building of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
