• In true Lamborghini Miami fashion, dealership CEO Brett David revealed this Sian FKP 37 to its owner in a private event surrounded by the dealership team and a series of V12 Segment Lamborghini vehicles. They made a true spectacle of it so the owner would never forget this car’s delivery.
• He made his dream a reality by becoming a pioneer in the exotic car market opening one of the first exotic car dealerships in Florida. Upon Irv David’s tragic passing in 2007, his then 19 year-old son, Brett, was faced with a choice between remaining an heir to a budding empire or assuming his father’s position as CEO of Prestige Imports.

The country's biggest Lamborghini dealer, Brett David - a man who has sold over $1 billion in supercars, (his very first sale happened to be to none other than Missy Elliot) - opens up about his.

The luxurious lifestyle has been synonymous with Miami culture since the 80's, when 'Scarface' showed us what the American Dream should (and shouldn't) be.

Today, Miami is the home to some of the world's wealthiest ballers, and it only makes sense that yachts and supercars are readily available.

Most people wouldn't guess, however, that the owner of the number one luxury car dealership in South Beach, who sold $1 billion worth of Lamborghinis and orchestrated the largest Audi dealership sale in history, is under 30.

Brett David is the 28-year-old CEO of Prestige Imports, a company he took over after his father suddenly passed away when he was just 19.

He spoke with Elite Daily to tell us exactly how everything came to be and what it means to continue on his father's legacy, which he admits nearly never happened in the first place, as he did it against his wishes.

I was faced with the difficult decision to continue the business instead of selling immediately upon his passing, as stated in his will. He would have never imagined that Prestige Imports could survive and be successful without him. Continuing his legacy and knowing how proud he would be is what motivates me every day.

Prestige Imports is now one of the industry leaders in luxury car sales in the US, and while Brett's father, Irv David, started it back in 1977, it was Brett's fresh approach to social media marketing which built his brand to what it is today.

David estimated that last year he had between $5 and $10 million worth of sales generated from social media, which he says is cost-free.

We have been able to grow our social following on Instagram alone to over 450,000 between my personal and business pages. Our followers, near and far, enjoy being a part of our daily business, automotive activities and special events. It has also become a revenue stream. We make sales every month through people inquiring about our cars on that are posted on our pages. Kind of crazy!

Prestige creates buzz by having professional photographers capture their cars in unique ways, while staying consistent with the brand.

A perfect example is their signature Sharpie Lamborghini (pictured above), which Brett says put them on the map after his father passed away. They were able to make it go viral themselves, through social media, and it was featured in several magazines and on television segments around the world.

Miami also serves as the perfect city for wealthy clients and, of course, celebrities.

From Mike Tyson to Rod Stewart, Missy Elliot to the late Whitney Houston, and of course all the athletes, celebrities know where to go for their supercars. Even The Rock goes to Prestige when he needs a whip for 'Ballers.'

Brett goes beyond just his dealership, however, and oversees Lamborghini Miami, which has sold over $1 billion in sales since 2008.

As the youngest new car dealer in the United States, Brett also made Prestige Audi the number one volume Audi dealer in the country, and in 2015, he pulled off the largest sale in Audi history for a single point store for $80 million.

But it doesn't stop there. Brett was also the first man to secure a Pagani dealership on the East Coast, and with only three locations in the US, you already know DJ Khaled is a client and had to check out the new Project Vulcan.

Being the young guy, and a Millennial in the industry, Brett believes it's all about hard work that, regardless of the generation or circumstance, separates the blessed from the rest.

Millennials are stereotyped having a sense of entitlement and not having a good work ethic. But, being a millennial myself, I believe most area part of the greatest generation ever and are extremely hardworking.

He also knows it can be an advantage against some of his competitors.

Millennials are tech savvy and therefore enormously clever and resourceful. Either way, what truly defines you as a person is your character. Not how much money you have, or what type of car you drive or the clothes you wear. All of that is just a façade.

At the same time, Brett knows that in his line of work, he's only going to attract a certain caliber of clients. Meeting like-minded people who worked hard to get what they want in life is something that still inspires him every day.

The best part of my job is meeting people from around the world and hearing their stories about the journey that afforded them the ability to purchase a Lamborghini or a super sports car, like a Pagani.I've learned that everyone has trials and tribulations in life and no one is exempt from achieving success without experiencing failures. Not having my father's guidance in business, I've appreciated being exposed to such a diverse clientele.

Brett isn't stopping with luxury car sales. He's using it as a platform to move in to other things, like real estate and charities. Not to mention, he recently signed a deal with Van Dutch luxury yachts.

For him, this is just the beginning. Brett says,

To this day, Brett keeps his father's name plate on his desk at Prestige Imports to remember how far he's come and how everything he learned is owed to Irv.

It's been almost 10 years since my father passed away, and yet everyday that I walk into my office (which used to be his) and I see my name plaque next to his on the desk, I still can't believe he's really gone.

While it might've been against his wishes, it's safe to say he was able to use everything he learned from his pops and surpass any expectations.

I grew up at this dealership watching my father micro-manage the entire business from directing his employees to buying and selling new and used vehicles. From overseeing building additions to dealing with the various franchises.

As for how long he's come in just nine years, it seems like Brett David has no regrets.

It was a learning experience that far surpassed anything I could have learned in a classroom setting.

After making a dramatic change to its program in the off-season, TR3 Racing is eager to go racing again in 2021 as the Florida-based team prepares for its return to the Fanatec GT World Challenge America Powered by AWS.

The team will now field a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 for its assault on the 2021 World Challenge America championship. The team has engaged a dynamic Pro-Am class driving line up as Ziad Ghandour returns to the team to pair with young up and coming Lamborghini specialist Giacomo Altoe.

A six-year veteran of Ferrari Challenge competition, Ghandour first made the move to GT World Challenge America with TR3 Racing in 2020, contesting a partial schedule of events.

Ghandour made progress with every outing, scoring fifth in the opening race of the year at Circuit of The Americas before moving up to a podium result in the second race. The move to World Challenge followed Ghandour’s best season in Ferrari Challenge, taking three poles as well as winning four of eight race wins in 2019 on his way to scoring second in the North American championship.

The native of Lebanon is currently based in California, and has eight career triumphs in international Ferrari Challenge competition.

“I am looking forward to my first full season in World Challenge America and to continue to develop my racing career with TR3 Racing,” said said Ghandour. “The Lamborghini is really exciting to drive, and we have a lot of potential working with this new car. It will be a lot of good teams and drivers this year. I am eager to go racing with this package along with Giacomo (Altoe) as my co-driver.”

Altoe is a 20-year-old Italian who captured the 2019 International GT Open GT3 Pro championship, after winning the 2018 title in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo World Final Pro division. He has 23 victories and 50 podium finishes in 137 races during his five-year career.

“I’m really motivated to be racing for the first time a full championship in the USA this year with TR3 Racing and my mate Ziad,” said Altoe. “It will be my first season in America and we will try to fight for the PRO-AM title with our Lamborghini GT3 Evo.

It will be a challenging season, competing in the most popular category and I’m really looking forward to it. Can’t wait for the 1st race weekend in Sonoma!”

Altoe raced in the 2019 Rolex 24 At Daytona in the Ebimotors Lamborghini, finishing 17th.

In 2020, TR3 Racing also finished second in the Amateur Teams championship in 2020 GT World Challenge America. The team entered two races, winning both rounds at VIR, with John Megrue and Bill Sweedler leading the class in the No. 31 Ferrari 488 GT3.

The move to the Lamborghini platform is being bolstered by a partnership with Lamborghini Miami, one of the oldest Lamborghini dealer in the United States. Lamborghini Miami has a new state of the art showroom and service center in North Miami Beach that has attracted customers from all over the world. The dealership offers customers a buying experience that is different than the traditional dealership, with a focus on building and maintaining relationships with every one of our customers.

Brett David, the CEO of Prestige Imports and Lamborghini Miami was excited to collaborate on this unique partnership, and said “I believe that Lamborghini is the most dynamic luxury brand on the market today, with innovative technology and a cutting edge esthetic. Joining the TR3 Racing, challenges the senses and excites the heart and with my personal relationship with family behind TR3, I have the full confidence that this is the winning team to take us to the finish line and to the checkered flag, we are ready.”

“We are very exited to start this new venture with Lamborghini, Giorgio Sanna and Chris Ward really have made it a flawless transition from what we were running last year,” said TR3 Racing CEO Gregory Romanelli. “We worked hard in the off-season to put together this program. The car is in is built with such a high standard and the support behind it is like nothing else. We look forward to Sonoma and to a great season together with Ziad and Giacomo, being Giacomo‘s first year Racing in United States and Ziad’s first full season in World Challenge.”

The 2021 Fanatec GT World Challenge America Powered by AWS season is set to open March 7-5 at California’s Sonoma Raceway.

About TR3 Performance:
TR3 Performance was founded by Arthur, Oliver, and Gregory Romanelli in August 2012. Frustrated with the rising costs and plummeting quality from local shops, the brothers saw an opportunity to establish a shop of their own that would live up to their high standard of excellence, where they could hold themselves to the caliber of workmanship they had sought out in the marketplace as enthusiasts. In 2015, TR3 Racing was established as the team stepped into racing at the professional level. What started out as a modest 2,300-sq.ft. enterprise has now exploded into the premier performance shop in South Florida.
