duPont REGISTRY October 2025

Style is more than a statement—it’s your signature. In this issue of duPont REGISTRY, we explore the vibrant crossroads of high fashion and luxury automobiles, where design, performance, and personal expression unite. From bespoke tailoring that mirrors the flowing lines of a coach-built grand tourer to lifestyle trends shaped by the world’s most exclusive supercar marques, this edition is a celebration of elevated taste, enduring tradition, and contemporary trends.

Our cover story spotlights the Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge, an extraordinary competition that breathes new life into storied machines from the legendary German marque. Porsche Centers nationwide compete for the coveted title of “Grand National Champion,” pushing boundaries to transform long-neglected classics into concours-worthy showpieces. The transformations are truly incredible.

We also examine a style icon that’s been turning heads since the mid-1960s: Lamborghini’s legendary V12 engine. Kyle Hyatt traces its evolution from the 280-horsepower 350 GT to the awe-inspiring powerplant in today’s hybrid-assisted Revuelto—an engineering marvel delivering nearly three times the output of the original.

In our DRIVE section, the V12 theme continues as I take the wheel of Aston Martin’s new Vanquish Volante. The fastest and most powerful front-engined production car in the world lives up to every ounce of its hype. Basem Wasef visits Bentley’s design studio for a rare glimpse into its past and future, while I review three exquisite bespoke “Silken Spirit” Rolls-Royce commissions inspired by Chinese art, fashion, and landscape.

Our LIVE section tightens the lens on couture, with an in-depth look at how Ferrari has transformed its sports car legacy and racing pedigree into a luxury fashion powerhouse. Tyler Rampersaud explores Maserati’s latest apparel collaboration with Sparco, while Jordan Aquistapace curates a collection of the finest automotive-inspired clothing.

Finally, SELL showcases a curated lineup of the world’s most desirable exotic, classic, and luxury automobiles, spotlighting Ferrari of Central New Jersey, while Andrew Riedell examines how unique colors influence resale values.

Whether your passion lies in the craftsmanship of couture or the engineering of an exotic, true luxury lives in the details—and here, we celebrate the very best of both worlds.
