About Mercedes-Benz AMG GTRead Summary Close Summary
The second-gen AMG GT coupe is a much more modern car than the car it replaced. It still packs a sleek design and a powerful turbocharged V8 engine, but all-wheel drive and optional rear seats are new to the feature list. The AMG GT coupe is spacious, offers a surprising amount of cargo area and packs some impressive in-car tech. While it's still plenty quick, we think it lost a bit of its verve because of the increased size and weight. This isn't the sharpest sports car on the road, but the AMG GT coupe makes up for it in just about every other area.

About Porsche 911 GT3Read Summary Close Summary
The GT3 is not only the ultimate expression of the 911 but of the Porsche brand itself. Its competency on the track extends to everyday life on the road, but the GT3 truly comes into its own when you find yourself on a racetrack. Only there can you experience the might of Porsche's advanced engineering and fully bask in the sound of a flat-six engine wailing away at 9,000 rpm.

FAQ
What is the best exotic car to buy?
If you're trying to decide between a Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren or other exotic machinery, well, we envy you! There's a wealth of exotic vehicles available today, but we would spend our money on the Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD. Not only does it look the part, but its 603-horsepower 5.2-liter V10 is arguably the best-sounding engine on sale today. As a bonus, the Huracan is unbelievably easy to drive every day thanks to its sublime ride and smooth transmission. Learn more
What is the most reliable exotic car?
We don't track reliability data on Edmunds, but in general, we recommend looking at owners' forums to see what kind of issues they are experiencing. If you're buying from the prior owner, ask for maintenance records to see what repairs have been performed. Learn more
What are the most exotic cars?
The most exotic cars, including the McLaren Senna, Bugatti Chiron and Lamborghini Sian, aren't really available to buyers who aren't invited by the manufacturer to buy the car. For the rest of us, at least for the ones who can afford an exotic car, we prefer cars including the Audi R8, Lamborghini Huracan and McLaren 570S. We also think highly of the Acura NSX and Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Coupe, especially in GT R trim. Learn more
What is the cheapest exotic car?
At just over $210,000, the Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD not only checks all the boxes for an exotic car, but it also does so at the (relatively) lowest price. Even if you don't select any of the many options, the Lamborghini comes well equipped with technology and premium materials. Other cars in this rarefied class might go a bit faster, but the Huracan Evo RWD offers the exotic car experience as well as any of them and for less money. Learn more
