Most Wanted Exotics

Ferrari 360 Winner: Ferrari 360

Our Most Wanted selections are based on rationality and logic. But when it comes to choosing a favorite exotic, emotion is just as important. It is therefore not much of a surprise that a Ferrari sits atop the podium. No matter where you go, from Hong Kong to the Patagonia, a Ferrari is the common tongue representing power, wealth and sex appeal. Our choice of the 360 might seem unusual; after all, this is Ferrari's least expensive offering. But, as with its 308, 328, 348 and 355 forerunners, this is a car to be used, not collected. It is, one could say, a Ferrari for the real world.


Honorable Mention: Porsche 911 GT2

Few cars in the world have such an intimidating reputation as the 911 Turbo. Fearsome to other drivers pitted against it at a stoplight, sure, but also because of its tricky oversteer characteristics that had many a Turbo owner heading backward toward the guard rail. Ever since the introduction of the all-wheel drive in 1996, the Turbo has been more user-friendly. It's a better car to be sure, but a bit of soul was lost. Well, that was remedied with last year's release of the 911 GT2. No AWD. No electronic traction control nannies. Just 456 hp of supernatural performance. Look at it in the wrong way, and it might just eat you.
