Braman Motorcars News
Road to Germany
When it comes to the launch of a new vehicle or concept, an elite few get to experience it before the general public, and this past week Paul Montelbano from Braman Audi was lucky enough to get such an opportunity. Audi extended the invitation to Braman Motorcars to send one Client Advisor to the launch of the all new Audi Q5 Hybrid at their corporate headquarters in Germany, and Paul was the selected individual.
Paul was picked by Braman Audi management for his continued effort in providing the upmost customer satisfaction, consistently high sales numbers, and up to date with all certifications to make him a truly qualified Audi sales associate.
While in Germany Paul was able to tour the factory where several cars are built including the A4 and A5, and a total of 2,500 cars per day are manufactured. Paul was given track time in some of Audi's exclusive vehicles including the new Q5 Hybrid, and was able to experience all of its power with top speed of 141 MPH, and 0-62MPH in 7.1 seconds. In addition to the launch of the Q5 Hybrid, vehicles such as the Q3, RS5, S6, S7, S8, and All Road were available for viewing.
While one would think all this would be enough, it was not. Paul was given an exclusive tour of the Audi museum where he was able to see the past, the present, and the future of the brand. Paul was able to view the "Silver Hour" Audi's first car to break all land and speed records.
As Paul stated, "it was an amazing opportunity I was given, and appreciative of Braman Motorcars and their staff in allowing me this opportunity."

Seven judges then rated each of the presentations based upon the above criteria, and in front of the entire sales staff of Braman Motorcars, the 2011 Braman Motorcars Summer Hood and Trunk award went to, Jay Rossow from Bentley and Rolls Royce.

Clients Win as Braman Motorcars Named Leading
Auto Dealer by Industry
Expert
Braman Motorcars is now the leading multi-franchise dealership in the entire country.
This is according to Ward's Auto Magazine, whose annual Top 500 report reached those conclusions by calculating Braman's overall performance results for 2009. With over 80 years experience in automotive news, data, and analysis reporting, Ward's is the authoritative industry publication.
While this is great news for Braman Motorcars, their clients who own Audi, BMW, Bentley, MINI, Porsche and Rolls-Royce automobiles will benefit most from the achievement of the Florida luxury car dealer.
The luxury car dealer made other recent investments that underscore Braman's dedication to improving their clients' experience. And, that dedication is exemplified by their newly implemented proprietary training program that educates every employee on how to best assist and advise clients. This guarantees that Braman clients interact with a knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional staff that can serve any need.
Though the luxury car dealer made these investments at a time when most businesses stopped investing in clients, Wards' report indicates that Braman made the right decision.
"We are very proud of our entire staff for this achievement," Cerone said. "It shows their dedication to providing clients with the best experience possible. Though everyone at Braman works tirelessly for such results, we're never satisfied. We're always trying to improve our client service because we know they can buy from any luxury car dealer. So, we aim to provide them with an outstanding experience overall."
So, how does Braman plan to better serve its' loyal clients?
According to Mr. Cerone, "We will continue to invest in our clients. Being the leading multi-franchise automotive dealer in the country means that we have the resources to do whatever it takes to best serve them. If that means expansion, we'll expand. If that means more or better training, we'll invest in more or better training. Whatever our future investments may be, they will be made to improve the Braman Motorcars experience for all of our clients."

| Race Legend Derek Bell makes Braman Track
Event Appearance Braman customers that participated in the Bentley Supersport track event got a big surprise when it turned out the legendary race driver Derek Bell was one of the instructors. The group took all-new Bentley Supersport through the paces and got to feel the extreme performance side of Bentley with the superstar. Derek Bell took up racing in 1964 with Lotus Seven. He graduated to Formula 3 in the following year in a Lotus 31 and in 1966 switched to a Lotus 41 scoring his first victory at Goodwood. In 1967 he enjoyed seven wins. He entered Formula 2 in a privateer Brabham BT23C fielded by his stepfather's Church Farm Racing team and had several promising performances, which caught Ferrari's eye and made his Grand Prix debut at Monza. In 1969 he raced at Silverstone with Ferrari and also raced the four-wheel-drive McLaren M9A in its only race in the British Grand Prix. Bell was one of many drivers to take part in the filming of Le Mans (1970) starring Steve McQueen. Bell had a lucky escape during the making of the film. The Ferrari 512 he was driving suddenly caught fire whilst getting into position for a take. He managed to get out of the car just before it was engulfed in flames and suffered minor burns. The car was badly damaged but later rebuilt. Bell was also a runner in the 1970 European Formula 2 Championship driving a March. In 1972 he got the drive in the Tecno F1 team, along with Nanni Galli. He won two World Sportscar Championship titles (1985-86), in the 24 Hours of Daytona (1986-87 and 1989) and five victories but also built a strongat Le Mans (in 1975, 1981, 1982, 1986 and 1987), |         |
Bell was hired to consult for the Bentley team in 2001, helping them to win Le Mans two years later. He now splits his time between the United States and Bognor Regis, and commentates on Formula One races which he has done for and drives in historic events, as well as performing an ambassadorial role for Porsche.
