Exotic car chat . . . .
I feel like we haven't had a proper thread about exotic cars here in a damn long while.
Anyways, this is sort of a dreaming thread. Post up what you really like, regardless if you've driven one or not. If you've driven one of these cars or own one, describe in detail about your car, post pics, tell us all about it.
Anyways, I will start this thread with my #1 hit the lottery car, the Lamborghini Miura. I can't think of a more exotic and exciting shape ever made. Imagine seeing this in 1966, driving your brown Ford Falcon sedan. This Lamborghini was straight up from Mars. Kind of the same deal as a new Aventador, but production numbers were much lower. Not only did it look cool, but the V12 engine was mounted mid-ship, 345hp in a 2800lb car was pretty damn bonkers for 1966, and still a great hp/weight ratio to this day. Main thing was that it proved mid engined was the way to go forward for the ultimate road cars.
In a recent museum display(Italian Exotics at the Frist in Nashville) they had a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO and a 1970 Miura S on display. The Ferrari was awesome, in that I respect its racing pedigree, but just in terms of sheer style, the Miura blew everything in that museum out of the water IMO.
