VIP Car, Infiniti Q45 - The Automotive Experience - video Dailymotion

Executive Automotive Society

Today we review the awesome VIP Cars.  On par with the illustrious lowrider, the VIP car has great paint and air ride among the awesome interior made to cruise.  These cars usually feature Infiniti, Lexus, and Acura, but isn't limited to it with Mercedes Benz and BMW joining in from time to time.  I expect these cars to be on par with the Rolls Royce, Bentley or Maybach vehicles both in cost and performance.  If you're not the best luxury has to offer, time to upgrade to VIP.

00:00So when it comes to luxury, the first thing you're going to think about is probably Mercedes,

00:04BMW, big cars like that.

00:07Well today we're going to take a look at some models that you really haven't thought about.

00:11Let's say Infiniti or Lexus or some models like that.

00:15Well a lot of people get into these cars and they turn these cars into cars that are all

00:20about luxury, all about performance, all about air ride.

00:23These cars are called VIP.

00:31And today we're going to be featuring a car that is just amazing.

00:36The build type of these cars is called VIP.

00:39And unlike Mercedes or BMWs, these guys take cars that are like Infiniti's or Lexus's and

00:47they build them up.

00:48Some of them actually do some of the other vehicles like Mercedes and BMW, but this is

00:54where these guys shine at.

00:55And you can tell already that there is a lot of areas that this car has been done with.

00:59This car has air ride, it has curtains, it actually has a place where you can have drinks

01:05served with you.

01:06This is something that is actually not trying to be Mercedes or BMW.

01:10It's trying to be Rolls Royce and Bentley.

01:12And the thing I have to say right up front is it actually makes it happen.

01:16That's the thing is that when you say VIP, it's VIP.

01:20And this started, a lot of it began over in Japan and it was done by, I believe, the Yakuza

01:26to build up their stuff so they could have something that kind of blended with the populace.

01:30But I am so happy that it's something that migrated over to the States and there's a

01:34little pocket of group of guys that are still doing this and doing it to the quality that

01:39you'd expect from, say, low riders.

01:41And they also have the same kind of communities that build them together.

01:44So what are we going to do today?

01:45Like always, we're going to find out, one, what it's like to drive.

01:48Number two, what are the costs associated with building a car like this?

01:52And number three, what are the pitfalls that you have from having this much work done?

01:57So guys, stay tuned.

01:58We're going to hit with you right now.

02:00Okay, this is my first experience in driving a VIP car.

02:17The first thing I like about it is all the trim pieces.

02:20Unlike most cars that kind of think about minimally on interior, maybe they think a

02:25little bit about it.

02:26These cars actually do a lot more to it for the interior-wise leather.

02:32Things that really people that are thinking luxury are thinking about.

02:36It kind of takes that, I like that low rider feel of it.

02:39It kind of takes that and puts it into something that is a little bit more toned down, a little

02:43bit more pure.

02:45It's the kind of thing that I feel like I can drink wine in.

02:49And it's very comfortable for the seats.

02:51I'm really impressed with the seats, how it's set up and everything.

02:54So, we're putting it in drive right now.

03:07The things I got right into it, I kind of slipped into it like a glove.

03:11The V8 engine spools up really nice.

03:13I like these engines, Infiniti really does well when it comes to how they set up their

03:19engines very smooth, very linear.

03:21I love that stuff about it.

03:24And the other thing is, is this has an air ride system.

03:26Now a lot of the other cars that we tested had hydraulics, they had cool-overs, well

03:32air ride for the ones that saw the C10 video will know that air ride is a dream to drive.

03:39It just feels great, it's something that like I said, I can't tell everybody, you should

03:43experience it.

03:44With the VIP cars, there's a lot of lowering that goes onto these.

03:47So, it's a little bit stiffer than what I'm accustomed to, but in the same respect, air

03:52ride is air ride.

03:53You just can't go wrong with it.

03:55One other cool really thing that I love about this car is the sound of the exhaust.

03:59Love the note sound of it.

04:00And you can tell the V8 has good power, just like a luxury car should.

04:05It has that good, but that's the thing is, is it takes that kind of linear aspect into

04:09it.

04:10So, I don't know if you can hear real quick, oh yeah.

04:14So that's what I'm talking about.

04:15And that's the thing is, is when you drive something like this, it feels really, really

04:19good.

04:20And the other thing is, you can see the little door sills and things like that.

04:23I just, I feel like I'm being pampered right now, not so much as a drive.

04:27So it's one thing to know, like people look at me and say, well, those, those Mercedes

04:32and the BMWs, they do a really good job of interiors.

04:36No, you don't feel like a mega rich Rolls Royce guy until you sit in something like

04:41this.

04:42And then this takes it to another level that I, like I said, I'm not accustomed to per

04:46se.

04:47And this is my first time really driving a good VIP car that I really liked that I can

04:51really appreciate.

04:53So that's the thing is, is I hope you guys can kind of take a little bit out of it right

04:56now, especially the smoothness of it.

04:59It feels really good.

05:00It's definitely something that I would consider in the future for down the road and would

05:04definitely suggest to somebody who's looking to do a build because, and that's the thing

05:08is, it's something we're going to go into is obviously cost effectiveness and things

05:12of that nature.

05:13There, there are ups and downs to cars like this.

05:15So, but in the long run, the end of the journey is usually the best part of the journey and

05:21having sat in an end of a journey right now and having such a good community that backs

05:26these cars, it really is enjoyable to be part of it right now.

05:31And this thing is, I really like it.

05:32I love the sound of it.

05:33Everything about it really feels right.

05:37And it's something, like I said, you should probably consider in the future.

05:58Okay, so what is it like to drive?

06:00Wow.

06:01There's something, so the thing is, is this isn't the first time I've driven a luxury

06:06car.

06:07So you kind of say, okay, on a scale of one to 10 in the luxury, where does this car kind

06:11of fit?

06:12And I'm going to say it fits up there with the Rolls Royces and the Bentleys, just like

06:15I thought it would.

06:17The system is well done.

06:19It's well built.

06:21It doesn't miss any features when it's doing stuff.

06:24So you can tell there's body work done to it.

06:27There's the wheels are done to it.

06:28It is, like I said, a little bit rougher than you would expect.

06:33That's the thing is, is with the weight involved in it, there's going to be a little bit of

06:36a difference there.

06:37But like I said, it was something, and I've said over and over again, if you haven't experienced

06:41air ride, you need to experience air ride because it's something that if you're looking

06:45for comfort, it just nails it.

06:48And so like I said, this actually gets some really high marks for drivability.

06:52It was a really good experience.

06:53It's the kind of car that I really felt I could take on the highway and just go spinning

06:57for a long time and just cruise, man.

06:59It was great.

07:00The other thing is, is this car actually does trips to New Jersey and New York, and I can

07:05see why because it's easy to drive.

07:07All right, so what's it going to cost to own a car like this?

07:10Well, it's time to open your bank account and start spilling money constantly because

07:14this car is going to cost you money.

07:15The rims alone are $8,400.

07:18They're a special vehicle rim made by Luxury Abstract.

07:22They work perfectly with this vehicle.

07:24They're bigger than normal wheels.

07:27Of course, the air ride is going to run you a lot of money.

07:29The paint alone with the flaking is probably going to be $12,000 to put all the love into

07:34it.

07:35But the thing that really gets it is that there's a lot of things in this that you're

07:38not seeing.

07:39So if you want to stretch the outside fenders to fit the new longer wheels, that's another

07:45expense you're going to have to do.

07:47And there's little things like that all over the car.

07:50They're made specifically to fit this car and make it perfect.

07:53So it's something that's going to be a labor of love.

07:56So it's something if you want to get into it, yes, the original vehicle, you can probably

08:00pick them up pretty cheap, but then of course it's time to work on that budget.

08:04Okay, so what is the upkeep on this car?

08:07Well, what you're going to be looking at is usually a lot of the upkeep has to do with

08:10the rims.

08:11With the three-piece rims, they're going to need a little bit more love than what you're

08:14probably accustomed to with typical rims.

08:17But for the engine, the engine is a stock engine.

08:20The air ride system is going to take a little maintenance, but you just got to keep up with

08:24it.

08:25Make sure everything is good with it.

08:26And the other thing that I have to say, which is a big deal, is obviously buy a detail kit

08:31because you want this car to look perfect.

08:33So one of the biggest things and probably where you're going to spend your most amount

08:36of time, especially if you do shows, is when you do the detailing to this.

08:40You want this car to look perfect all the time to match exactly what it is.

08:45It's a VIP car.

08:46So if you think that upkeep on a Rolls Royce or a Bentley is too much for you, then this

08:52is probably not your car.

08:54If you are the kind of person that spends a lot of time with toothbrushes cleaning out

08:58the interior, then this car might actually work for you and you should consider it.

09:03So one thing that I do want to add to this is this vehicle is actually dedicated to Brendan

09:08Kennedy.

09:09He was somebody that was, he built this car, put a lot of the stuff, his heart into it.

09:16And I don't think he actually got to drive the vehicle after it was wholly completed.

09:19I think he got to use it once.

09:21And in 2011, yeah, this car has been around for a while, he got in a motorcycle accident

09:27and he lost his life.

09:29So this vehicle has been dedicated to him.

09:31So that's the one thing.

09:32It was really an honor to get to drive something from somebody that we knew that was a really

09:36great person and somebody that we miss a lot.

09:39Okay, so that's it for what it's like to drive.

09:41I got to say, I really love this car.

09:44I love how it handles.

09:45I might actually switch over to thinking about air ride in the future because every time

09:49I drive air ride, I have a blast doing it.

09:52So I want to thank the owner for bringing this out for me.

09:55I want to thank everybody involved in it.

09:56I want to thank this Q45 for taking me on a great experience.

10:00I hope you guys had the same experience that I had.

10:09So thank you guys for paying attention and I hope you learned what it's like to drive.
