duPont REGISTRY presents the definitive guide for the modern collector – where passion meets portfolio. Created for those who invest with discernment and drive, this edition explores the world’s most coveted vehicles, documents the creation of a true one-of-one hypercar, and goes inside an elite owners’ club that creates unforgettable experiences beyond the wheel. We also examine how automotive storage has evolved from utilitarian warehouses into refined, members-only sanctuaries, and reveal the rich provenance behind the world’s most iconic timepieces.
Our cover car is certainly unique: Orion Automotive’s ASCENSION reimagines the luxury, high-performance SUV as a mobile living space – complete with a full-sized bed, lounge area, kitchen, and shower. This groundbreaking ‘land yacht’ blurs the line between grand touring and refined residential design.
In our DRIVE section, Kyle Hyatt visits Lamborghini’s remarkable Polo Storico, where legendary models like the Countach, Diablo, 400 GT, and LM002 are brought back to life through world-class restoration – and he also gets behind the wheel of these legendary bulls. Jordan Aquistapace drives the spectacular road at Colorado’s Pikes Peak Mountain with the fabulous Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club, while I meet father-and-son duo Neil and Stirling Fairman to explore their stunning collection of uniquely liveried Ferraris.
In LIVE, we go beyond horsepower and delve into the world of haute horology, spotlighting timepieces that have become essential assets for discerning collectors – each telling a story and preserving a legacy. Tyler Rampersaud takes us inside the phenomenal world of Amalgam’s meticulously crafted scale supercars, and Richmond Auctions tells its remarkable story about authentic signage that has produced record-breaking outcomes.
Finally, in our SELL section, we showcase a curated selection of the world’s finest exotic, classic, and luxury automobiles – each one primed for the most discerning collectors. Andrew Riedell tackles the age-old collector’s dilemma: drive or preserve? He breaks down recent auction results as a guide.
Each story is crafted for collectors and investors who recognize that true value lies not just in rarity, but also in the narrative behind it. Consider this your blueprint for building a legacy shaped by passion, precision, and enduring potential.
Happy reading, and as always, drive safely!
