Trends in Exotic Cars

Friday, November 28th, 2008 | local info

In recent years, the exotic car bloomed with the production very powerful cars. The emphasis has been on power combined with elegance in a two-seater coupe.

Here are some top exotic cars now available:

Bugatti Veyron – 8 liters, 1,000+ bhp, loads of technology and four-wheel drive
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.

Note that these are all mid-engined exotic cars, because that is the format that gives the best roadholding, rear-wheel grip and maximum speed. Put another way, where performance is all that is the right formula.

Movement to smaller, environmentally friendly exotic cars

What comes next? Something even smarter, still very fast, but with much more practicality and ease of handling. Also, you might want to at least make it seem 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.

Next make your exotic car lighter, maybe with a 5 liter engine developing 550 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 more room in the trunk or room for two extra people.
