"Luxury is about perception and it is very subjective. For a luxury sedan, it means a quality ride with unique features often not available in mainstream models. As for sports luxury, it means superior performance capabilities such as handling and power."
Words that sound like they come from someone who is well-informed and knowledgeable in the field of luxury motoring. And indeed, they do.
Elaine Lim has developed a deep love of cars, especially luxury rides, ever since she was gifted her first vehicle, a BMW 3 Series, upon receiving her driving license during her undergraduate days. And interestingly, her career has also always been centred around people who definitely know a thing or two about the high life.
"I am the managing director at Deutsche Bank Wealth Management. In essence, I specialise in customising solutions for Ultra-High Net Worth Individuals in investing, financing and wealth planning - typically over generations," she says.
When it comes to cars, Elaine has owned a myriad rides that would be the envy of many. The Ferrari 458 Spider, McLaren MP4-12C, Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 and Rolls-Royce Drophead were some of the exotic coupes she had. She adds, "I enjoy how a car handles at high speeds, and how it manoeuvres around corners and bends. Cars are multi-dimensional - I also love cars with luscious curves and fabulous-sounding engines and exhaust notes."
Lest you think Elaine only has a penchant for supercars, she appreciates the refined comfort of luxury sedans too. The Rolls-Royce Ghost and Mercedes-Benz S-Class are two iconic luxury models that were in her garage.
