Future Exotic Cars
Recently, the exotic car market has bloomed with the trend to very powerful cars. The emphasis has been on power combined with elegance in a semi-racing coupe.
Here are a few of the exotic cars now for sale:
Ascari A10 – 650 bhp semi-sports racer, race-developed, great roadholding
Pagani Zonda F – 7.2 liters, 650 bhp, and sports-racing appearance and performance with superb build and component quality
SSC Ultimate Aero TT – currently the world’s fastest car in a straight line thanks to 1,183 bhp in a two-seater coupe?
Caparo T1 – actually very small, but quicker round a track than anything.
Notice that these are all mid-engined exotic cars, because that is the design that gives the best handling, traction and all-out speed. Put another way, where performance is everything that is what you need.
Move to smaller, eco-friendly exotic cars
But once you have the most powerful car in the world what do you want next? Something even sleeker, still very quick, but with a bit more practicality and ease of handling. Also, it might be a good idea to at least pretend that your exotic car was eco-friendly. The trend is to power it with bio-fuel – so long as it is second-generation bio-fuel which is genuinely environmentally friendly.
The next step is to make your exotic car lighter, maybe with a 5 liter engine with 500 bhp rather than a 6.5 liter. Or you might opt for a 3-liter twin-turbo producing 500 bhp. This sort of car would be closer in concept to a sports car like the Lotus Evora, but would still be an exotic car.You could either provide rather more luggage space or room for two adults for short journeys.
