An elevator for cars. You know, for “car lovers and people who enjoy having their car next to them in their apartments”.</p><p></p><p>Not surprisingly, this demographic is also defined by their access to at least $5 million, the starting price for one of the tower’s 132 condos. The crowning jewel, a $32 million penthouse apartment, comes with a “car gallery” for seven of your eleven automobiles.</p><p>Driven by three high-tech hydraulic lifts, the elevators weight 30,000 lbs. and carry up to 8,000 lbs. Cars zoom up the black-glazed tower at 800 feet a minute. </p><p><a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/aventura/article139036283.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">h/t Miami Herald</a></p>
