Searching for a quality luxury car will inevitably bring anyone to the rather apt adjective, “exotic”. Exotic food or exotic beauty may be more clearly defined, but what really makes for an exotic sports car?

Sleek and Elegant Design

Part of what makes an exotic sports car is the vehicles’ streamlined, sleek, and smooth designs, all of which serve functional purposes to the overall performance of the car albeit being so highly aesthetically pleasing.

Indeed, even exotic sports car makers know emphasis that car enthusiasts and racers put on design per se. After all, owning an exotic sports car in contrast to owning a car is, in itself, a status symbol. This status is endowed not only by the make of the car but also the style and visual appeal.

In fact, companies like Ferrari even employ design houses to come up with their car designs. Design powerhouse Pininfarina, for example, designed the 2002 Ferrari ENZO.

Breakneck Speeds

While design is one of the considerations of many car enthusiasts, the primary characteristic that by-far differentiates a sports car from the rest is its acceleration and maintainable road speed. When it comes to sports cars, it’s all a matter of speed, speed, and more speed. A pretty car won’t cut it if it cannot deliver the exhilarating ride that is expected of every sports car.

Exotic cars are continually challenging the rate at which a car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph. Designs are beginning to be shaped from the engineering needs of the car, in order to suitably deliver a new record speed. As of the moment, the 1994 Dauer 962 LeMans continues to reign with 2.6 seconds. However, with the likes of the 2002 Ferrari ENZO being designed based on the specifications of making a fast car, expect faster sports cars in the near future.

One-in-a-Million

Indeed, exotic sports cars aren’t the type that mass produced and you can’t but then “off-the-lot”. Part of its exotic appeal is the fact that you can only have a certain number of models made available for sale. The rarer and more difficult to acquire, the greater a car’s exotic value.

It’s in the Name

Most cars don’t need visualization to be called exotic, they just are. These would include your cult sports car classics—your Porsche, your Ferrari, your Lamborghini.

While an ‘exotic sports car’ may be subjectively defined over a huge stratum, it’s safe to believe that these qualities are more or less held in commonality by any definition. At any rate, one look at a car may be enough to give you a clue.

Even since I was young I had a fascination with exotic sports cars. I was the little kid with all the car books and I even loved reading the “wheels” section of our local newspaper to see if I could spot an exotic car for sale.
The first time I saw an exotic sports car in real life was when I was about 8 years old. We were going to visit my Grandmother a few hours down the road. Since it was a long boring drive, I dosed off until my Dad woke me up to ask what kind of car was driving beside him. I awoke to see a Lamborghini Countach driving next to our car! What a thrill for a little boy that was infatuated with exotic sports cars.

As I got older the novelty of seeing exotic cars has somewhat diminished, but it’s not gone. I live in a very wealthy community in Canada and in the summer I will see Ferrari’s, Maseratis and Porches everyday. In fact just yesterday I was driving down a side street in the rain when I saw a car approaching that was incredibly low to the ground. To my amazement, it was a Charcoal Lamborghini Muircielago. I have never actually saw one on the street so this was an exciting day for me. Just to taunt me, a young man, likely in his late 20’s or early 30’s likes to show off his Ferrari 360 on my street quite often.

So what does an adult do with their fascination of exotic sports cars, especially if you’re not in a position to take on a $5000+ per month lease payment! One option that you could choose would be to rent an exotic car. A company close to my home rents Lamborghini’s and Ferrari’s for around $3000 for the day, with a 100 km mileage allowance for the day. Each additional kilometer will set you back $1.99. Obviously if one can drop $3000 for a one day test run, you’re still wealthier than the majority of the population. For most of us, exotic car wallpapers, exotic car key chains and posters of exotic cars are the closest that we may get to owning an exotic sports car.

Just remember, you can always dream, but lets face it; Unless you’re a dotcom millionaire or your parents have more money than they know what to do with, you may never have the chance to shift the gears on an exotic sports car of your own!

The exotic sportscar that has a high speed of 190 mph and called a spyder is designed with Italian art. The only thing that needs to be mentioned about the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is its color and decor. But instead of all these the P1 North from Cheshire claims that driving these super-cars is possible without caring about the environment.

The super-car club is founded by former champion of the Formula 1 car racing track, Damon Hill. This club has some of the fastest and most exciting vehicles from around the world. The super-car club is a place for cars like, Bentley, Ferrari and Lamborghini. The members of this car-club can share all these cars against a yearly fee. As a result, the company claims that the cars belonging to them leave only one-fourth of the impact made on the environment by owners of private models.

Nick Bailey, a well known expert once remarked, “The number of members and cars in the PI North’s convoy are 60 and 15 respectively. So, to maintain the environmental balance instead of continuing with the normal idea of four people possessing four different super-cars which manage to be driven a paltry 2,000 miles each year, we are helping by maintaining three cars in the garage”. Bailey’s claim of distance covered is from a study of the average annual mileage of private owners of Ferraris and Lamborghinis.

The first club for super-cars was founded in Surrey almost 8 years ago. It was set up by Damon Hill. Currently P1 South holds more than 60 cars and 360 members. These cars include exotic models like Ford GT and Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. The Price of this Mercedes Benz model ranges around $600,000 and has a top speed of 210 mph. People who fail to understand that green matters, also get some financial sense when compared to the outright ownership of the super-cars. The membership fee to start is $5,000. Other than this one-time commencement fee another yearly fee is added which will provide 70 and 50 days respectively for $29,000 and $25,000. Now if a member pays an extra $6,000, then the member will get the opportunity to drive one of the most attractive exotic-cars, the Mercedes SLR McLaren. What’s more, all fees incorporate insurance policies cost for members and guests.

Some of the world’s best exotic sports cars like the Ferrari F430 have a price of $310,000 when bought at the dealer. The F430 has a maintenance cost of around $84,000. However, a member of P1 gets relief from the maintenance costs, worries, and includes the expenses for car fuel and any car accidents, major or minor.

On one hand when there is worldwide concern about global warming, it is difficult to coordinate the exotic sports to fit into the picture. P1 is helping the environment with its company and great idea. So, all in all ,it is a fun procedure to any P1 member, so the curse of pollution is hard to remember once he or she has sat behind the wheel and foot is on the pedal.

Face it, you need some excitement in your life. You work hard so indulge yourself a little bit, it’s time to play hard too. It’s going to be a long year with a lot of business to get done, and now you need to reward yourself. But how?

Rent yourself an exotic sports car. No, really! It’s not as expensive as you might think. Maybe you’re just not quite in a position to go out and purchase that hot little European sports car that you’ve been looking at longingly since you were old enough to drive, but why not treat yourself to it for just a few days, maybe a week, maybe an entire week of vacation.

Or just maybe you have a new client coming into your office sometime in the near future and you need to impress them. You just want to go that extra mile with something they’re not expecting, and even if they don’t remember your sales pitch or your presentation, they are sure to remember that car you were driving when you picked them up at the airport.

Don’t be boring! Yes, a late model Toyota or Chevy, or even up to the next level of a Cadillac or Lincoln Town Car makes a statement, whether for business or pleasure, but make sure the statement you make has an exclamation point at the end of it – drive up in a Hummer, a BMW, a Jaguar, or maybe even a Porsche or a Lamborghini. Even your biggest business clients are likely to have never taken a ride in one of those babies.

On your next business or vacation trip, just try it. Rent a luxury or sports car instead. Many of the shops that rent these types of vehicles will be able to provide exactly what you are looking for, whether you are trying to impress your spouse, your significant other, or that very special business client where you need to make a great lasting impression. If they don’t have the vehicle that you have your heart set on, they are in this business, so can very likely refer you to a place that does have that vehicle.

Many of these shops understand that your rental of this luxury car or sports car is for a very special occasion, and can make arrangements to have flowers or a box of chocolates in the car when you are ready for it to make that iimpression.

Renting an exotic sports car is a good idea every now and then for a variety of reasons. Outside of the statement you are making for yourself, outside of maybe impressing your neighbors when they see that car parked in your driveway, outside of impressing that new business client, you are also rewarding yourself. It is amazing to find the amount of stress relief that renting a sports car can provide for many people. It makes them feel young again, especially if they lower the top on a convertible model and drive down the road with the sun shining and the breeze blowing through their hair.

Doing a sports car rental can be done at more places than you probably think. There are locations near most major airports that will do luxury car rentals and sports car rentals, and the pricing for your use of this 5 or 6-figure vehicle is probably less than you think.

Indulge yourself, you deserve it!
