The world's most exotic cars have always held a great fascination with car enthusiasts around the world. The exclusive body design and state-of-the-art engines built for speed make these cars unique to any others in the world.

In 1948, Ferdinand Porsche along with his son Ferry unveiled the very first Porsche, the Type356. The Porsche has always been a favorite of sports car and race car enthusiasts. Porsche will introduce the New 911 that is sure to bring awe to the world. The New 911 has sleek lines, low body weight, and is powered by a 3.4 water-cooled flat-six engine that will go from 0 to 60 m.p.h. in just 5.2 seconds. With its speed and precision, the Porsche has proven itself many times in the race car circuit, and is a favorite at LeMans. Fifty years after its unveiling, Porsche is still an uncompromised sports car.

Built in Italy, the Ferrari is a classic race car known the world over for its elegance and speed. In 1929 Enzo Ferrari, while employed by Alpha Romeo, founded Scuderia Ferrari with the purpose of helping members compete in Motor races. It was 1944 before the company officially changed its name to Ferrari. Since then, Ferrari has become world renowned for its successes in the race circuit. One of the most popular cars is the Ferrari F50. The Ferrari, which can go from 0 to 60 m.p.h. in just 3.7 seconds, is a steal for the measly cost of just $500,000.00

The Lamborghini Company founded by Ferruruccio Lamborghini originally started as a tractor manufacturer. The idea to build a sports car actually came to Ferruruccio after a discussion with Enzo Ferrari regarding problems Ferrari had with the engine in his cars. The Lamborghini first debuted in October 1963. Due to poor reviews, the 350GTV was never shown in public again. The body was restyled and went into production in 1964. The most famous Lamborghini is the Diablo Roadster VT which has top speeds of 200.3 m.p.h. The sound produced from the 12-cylinder engine is incomparable to any other sporty-type race car.

The McLaren F1 is being hailed as the "Fastest Production Car Ever." The McLaren F1 has the most horsepower ever (627 bhp), the highest reported top speed (231 m.p.h.) and the quickest 0 to 60 m.p.h. (3.4 seconds). Only 100 of these cars will be produced, 20 of them race cars. At this time, there are only five of those hundred in the United States. The McLaren is a stylish car and has an unusual driving position. The Driver seat is actually right in the middle of the car. The cost of the McLaren? Only $1,131,120.00!
