Exotic Car

A barchetta was originally an Italian style of open 2-seater sports car that was built for racing. Weight and wind-resistance were kept to a minimum, and any unnecessary equipment or decoration was sacrificed to performance.

Although most barchettas were made from the late 1940s through the 1950s, the style has occasionally been revived by small-volume manufacturers and specialist builders in recent years.

Typically hand-made in aluminium on a tubular frame, the classic barchetta body is devoid of bumpers or weather equipment such as canvas top or sidescreens. There is no provision for luggage. Some barchettas have no windscreen; others, a shallow racing-type screen or aero screen(s).

The classic barchetta has either no doors, in which case entry and egress is made by stepping over the side of the car, or very small doors without exterior handles.

What is an exotic sports car? Indeed it brings to mind the words, Fast, Expensive and Desirable in all most anyone who thinks of one. But in truth what is it that makes a sports car an exotic spots car, whats the difference?. For me the difference is there's much less exotic sports cars out there, than there is sports cars. An exotic sports car is produced at much less numbers, than its sports car cousin, as an un written rule 8,000 or less in number. Where as the lower end sports cars are made in much greater volumes than this. Overall making an exotic car very rare, sought after, and expensive. And in effect making it what it is an `exotic sports car` such as the pagani zonda or Lamborghini murcielago.

Lets face it most of us will never own one of them, most of us will never even get to drive or sit in an exotic sports car. We just have to make so with editions of the latest `Top Gear`, to satisfy our desire for these unattainable exotic beasts. Also the crushing weight of the Insurance Premium is enough to put you off, even if you could afford one. But to the brave, lucky and probably rich few who are in the position to purchase one, i say `good on you` quickly followed by `can i have a go!` At sometime or another we all see an exotic sports car that we desire, we can dream.

For the vast majority of us, we are resolved to hire an exotic sports car in order to fulfill our boy hood dreams. Finding the price, insurance and did i forget the ever rising price of fuel to run these gas guzzlers just to much to afford. But it does not stop us wanting one, dreaming of one, and doing the lottery every week in the hope of getting one. But thats what makes them Exotic, and makes them stand alone from a sports car. If everyone had one, they just would not be exotic now would they? I want one im sure you do too, exotic sports cars don't you just love them. Right im off to watch top gear!
