Although expensive and impractical, exotic cars are purchased and rented every day. These rare vehicles are particularly used for showing off, and are admired for speed and luxury. There are many types of exotic cars around the world, but these are five of the most popular.

1 Ferrari, The Italian Legend

It’s safe to say that nearly everyone has heard of the Italian brand, Ferrari. Although Ferrari originally started out as a racing car, now it is legal on street, and serves as a definite head turner. Because the brand represents a famous racing car, it’s often purchased or rented by drivers with a need for speed. Ferraris are also relatively easy to rent, that is if you have the money. This ordeal can cost at least two thousand a month, and that’s if you’re getting a good rate. If you want to buy one, plan to spend 300 grand.
