Five miles down the road from me, a fellow took the “display your car as art” idea to another level, mounting a $1.5M Pagani Zonda R as wall art in his condo unit:
In the source article for the picture, the head of the Pagani owner’s interior design company says, perhaps jokingly, that due to the name out front, the building I live in “wasn’t an option for his client….’As the name says, it’s a Porsche building….My client is all about Pagani.’” I suppose there may never be a Pagani-branded residential building, but the Porsche Design Tower may have nonetheless started a mini trend, because there’s an Aston Martin branded building going up in Miami. No car elevator, though, so far as I know.

It's sad in a way, to think that magnificent car most likely will never be driven.

Probably does; especially if he can afford putting them up on his wall as art. I have to admit, it's better than some of that other crap they call art.

Evidently the fellow has a bit of a hard-on for Pagani, so a view from his bed of even the the undercarriage of the car might work out better for him than popping a Viagra.

I guess even for a building named Aston Martin, there might be reasons not to build car elevators. First, some buyers, even some car enthusiasts, might prefer an extra 500-600 sq ft of additional living space over an in-unit garage. Second, the initial cost. Third, the ongoing costs…in my building, there is an elevator engineer on duty 24/7, and during business hours, there are usually 3 such engineers on duty, 2 of them doing various car elevator maintenance tasks.
There are actually 2 other Porsche Design branded residential towers underway…one in Frankfurt, Germany, and one in Brazil; they differ in overall design, and neither will have car elevators.
But, I heard recently from one of the elevator engineers here that another car-elevator-equipped building is planned for the small city in which I live. I don’t think they’ll break ground terribly soon, as there is quite a lot of new construction underway here that needs to be absorbed first, actually 4 new 650’ towers along 1.5 miles or so of beach. I need to ask whether the new tower will be Porsche or some other brand….the developer family behind my building, the Dezer family, owns 2000+ cars, and 3 car museums; they're definitely not a Porsche-only family.

For anyone who might be interested, the same developer is going to put up a Bentley condo tower with the same sort of car elevator to your unit, display your cars from your living room (for some units), features:
It will be a couple doors down from the Porsche Design tower...pictures showing no nearby buildings are an "artistic impression". Ground hasn't been broken yet, so plenty of time to save up for a unit.
