Manhattan Motorcars is a New York City mega luxury car dealership service provider. It is the only official Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Spyker, Porsche, Bugatti and Lotus dealer in NYC. It is located at 270 Eleventh Avenue in a building that belongs to Michael Dezer, who is an influential real estate developer and car collector.[1] The dealership claims to be open for regular business hours, but unlike a vast majority of luxury automotive dealerships worldwide, Manhattan Motorcars is known to prohibit all visitors other than those who are not "actively purchasing a specific vehicle."[2]
