About The Bentley Continental GTC
The Continental GTC was inspired by the Grand Touring tradition of Bentley legend. Born of Bentley’s breathtaking Continental GT coupé. With the endless power of a 12-cylinder, 6-litre twin-turbocharged engine urging you from 0-60mph in just 4.8 seconds. And a canopy opening up to the endless skies in less than 25 seconds.  Welcome to convertible motoring at its exhilarating best.

About The Maserati GranTurismo
However you look at it, the Maserati GranTurismo expresses dynamic tension and a sporty edge: the large oval grille, the bodywork that seems to be drawn tight over the frame like a figure hugging dress, right down to the rear flanks. Pininfarina has created an elegant and sensual look around the idea that is the GranTurismo project. Sportiness is combined with true space for four. This sleek appearance, combined with solidity and grace, provokes a fascinating mix of sensations. The GranTurismo transcends style and instead enters into the rarefied world of true beauty.

About the Lotus Elise 
Handcrafted in England, the limited-production Elise has been called one of the world’s best sports cars -- “a singularly enjoyable driving experience” that sets new standards for exclusivity and agility.  No-nonsense and highly responsive, the Elise is easy to drive yet capable of exceptional performance: 150 mph top speed and 0 – 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds.  Fifty years experience in racing design and a passion for driving by Lotus engineers has resulted in one of the most desirable exotic cars on the market -- and it’s now available exclusively at the Waikiki Parc Hotel.

About the Lotus Exige S
The Lotus Exige S is a combination of unbelievable performance and incredible handling performing 0 - 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. The 220 hp supercharged engine displays impressive flexibility which makes the car feel 'relaxed' yet instantly responsive.  Precise steering, outstanding suspension and high-grip Yokohama tires give the Exige S the kind of handling that has made Lotus legendary.
