I read once somewhere that the difference is such:

Ferrari gives you style, acceleration, and handling, but at top-end, they will design the car just so it creates enough downforce to stay in control without regard to top speed.

Lamborghini says "to hell with it," and makes the thing go 200+ mph.

I wish the biggest problem in my life would be choosing between these two.

I would go with Lamborghini, who kicked off the term exotic car with the mid engine Miura. Also I was in south beach Miami recently, I saw seven Ferrari's, and only two Lamborghini's. So based on being rarer, Lamborghini is more exotic.

The Lamborghini Countach was the car that got me into cars. I will always have a special place in my heart for the Countach and Lamborghini for that matter.

lambo - outrageous exotic

ferrari - sexy exotic


Murci on the street is intimidating. that thing is wide and it looks like it's ready to eat you alive.

i sat on Murci in a heathrow airport in london few years back. i don't know why, but they were displaying lambos in the airport. just sitting on it was better than sex.

that's probably the greatest 'exotic car' moment of my life. lol

did you check the seats before you sat on it? I suspect there might be something sticking out from the seats.

+1, If i were to choose between the two i'd choose ferrari. They are more exotic in my area imo... I see lambos everywhere.
