Message from General Manager
Matt Crandall
Happy New Year
Happy New Year to everyone from GPI and Lamborghini Portland!
I am around so many rare and special cars everyday, it's sometimes hard not to get jaded by them. But, I have to say the best part of my job is getting to enjoy all of the great customers we have. Going for a test drive with a long time customer in the newest, hottest car we just got in or even a new face in a pre-owned Porsche, getting to share my experiences with these cars always brings a smile to my face. Many people out there like cars or enjoy them as a daily driver, but it is the customers that share our passion here at GPI that make my job special. I run into these passionate car people all the time, and the thing they have in common the most is that they like to share their thoughts and opinions on all makes and models. And, those same customers like to tell their stories. At GPI we have done our best to cater to these types of people over the years. Listen to their stories and help them fulfill their dreams. It has always been our vision to have a place where all car people can come and enjoy the atmosphere and most of all enjoy the beauty of the automobiles. So, if it has been a while since you have been by, please come and share your latest experiences with Car People that enjoy the cars as much as you do.

Showroom Remodel Update
Well the dust here at Gran Prix Imports is finally beginning to settle. Our new floor is almost in and the new colors and designs are starting to reveal a true diamond in the rough. We are expecting our new car platform here in the next week which includes a forty-five foot Lamborghini themed runway with a matching six foot back wall. The platform will be used to elevate and display two Lamborghini models of any combination. All of these new elements have far exceeded our expectations on both appeal and design and soon our dream of creating a showroom that will set a new level for the luxury car industry will be realized. Everyone here at Gran Prix is excited to show and offer one of the worlds' most exclusive automobiles in one of the most elegant showrooms you will ever see.
The new Lamborghini Portland sign installed January 8, 2008!

'Focus on our Customers'
Adam Taft
Cars have always been part of Adam's life. "My Dad was a gear head in his youth and those gene's were passed down to me in a BIG way. My mom still has artwork that I created in First Grade that has me drawn into a car with a cartoon text bubble above that reads, 'Boy do I like cars!'. So my lust for things with wheels and tires began VERY early!"
Over the years Adam continued to tinker on cars, trucks, motorcycles, anything that ran on gas and had tires! "I had my first truck when I was 14 years old, before I could drive it and I had removed nearly every panel, running gear, etc. just to see how it worked." And, yes he got it back together before taking his driving test.
Adam started his own automotive performance business after school selling parts on a modified cart in his Dad's Office (a home design business that Adam worked at full time.) Things continued to grow and in 2001 he moved from the re-sale of other manufacturers parts and into manufacturing his own. They are now sold around the world under the PERRIN Performance and ALTA Performance brand names. (visit www.perrinperformance.com or www.altaminiperformance.com)
Things have continued to grow and they now have a large manufacturing facility in Hillsboro right next to Intel.
Adam's company has been working with Gran Prix Imports Parts and Service Department to offer their range of products for the MINI Cooper, Porsche, Subaru and Mitsubishi clients. This has proven to be a successful business relationship with both companies benefiting.
The continued growth and success of his businesses has allowed Adam the opportunity to purchased many fine automobiles from Gran Prix Imports. "They really understand the passion and enthusiast mindset and cater to those needs. In less than a year Erik Clover and Matt Crandall have sold me more than 6 cars, ranging from the Ferrari, Lamborghini and recently several Porsches!" "I have enjoyed the combination of sales and service professionalism, VERY reasonable pricing and the highest quality automobiles...for me it makes Gran Prix THE place to shop in the Portland are for exotic, performance and luxury automobiles."
Gran Prix Imports appreciates Adam Taft's love of cars, his understanding of the industry and is business friendship.

Lamborghini's outrageous supercar models have brought Lamborghini much fame. The Miura, the Countach, the Diablo, and the Murcielago, continue to be some of the most desired super cars of all time. The current range consists of the Murcielago LP640, the Murcielago LP640 Roadster and the smaller, less expensive Gallardo, Gallardo Spyder and Gallardo Superleggera. All are extremely fast, mid-engined 2-seaters with Lamborghini's standard all-wheel drive systems. Their styling is largely the work of Belgian designer Luc Donckerwolke.
