All About Exotic Cars
Exotic cars are sleek and dashing. The word exotic actually means unfamiliar or unusual. Exotic cars can accelerate with breathtaking speed. Some exotic cars can travel at a top speed of more than 200 miles per hour. When developing an exotic car,companies spend millions of dollars to create a futuristic design. Exotic cars are 100 percent handmade. Manufactures of exotic cars often limit the number of cars they make each year. The more cylinder a car has the more horse power it can use for turning the wheels. The total power of the engine is measured in horsepower. Some of these rare and valuable cars are made at a rate of no more than a few dozen each year.
Fun Facts
Aston Martin may wait decades to introduce a new model. Lamborghini originally started out making tractors. Porche actually loses money with each 918 they build.Maserati manufactured a line of gender-specific scooters in the early 1950s. The oldest car in the world was made in France 1884.

Ferrari
The famous Ferrari prancing horse emblem is not a nod to the cars impressive horsepower, but instead is borrowed from WWI-era Italian flying ace Francesco Barraca. Ferarri actually has a hybrid. It's based on the 599 Fiorano and they'll hope to make more than just a prototype soon enough. Fiat brought Ferrari in 1969, but Enzo was still in charge of the racing part of Ferrari. The Testa Rosa means Red Head in Italian. The Ferrari Dino is named after Enzo Ferrari's son after his death at the age of 30.
The Lamborghini Aventador
Lamborghini is making its mark with the Aventador. It looked like Lambo won over Ferrari this time, but Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. At a price $380,000 and with 700 HP Lamborghini is under the Berlinetta's HP of 730 and over the Berlinetta's price.If your going for the sharp style I'd go with the Berlinetta, but if you want to show off i would go with the Aventador. 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and a V-12 engine and a top speed of 217 mph, it proves Lambo is playing aggressively in the competition. Lamborghini is taking it to the next level.
