Not necessarily "exotic" or even "desirable," but certainly rarely seen.....

SVX...swing and a miss by Subaru, but certainly more interesting than an Outback.

Nothing uber-fancy...just a couple of cars near where we were staying in Vancouver when I was not too lazy to pull out my phone to take a pic of.

that color on the 570 
Guessing it has the nose raising package, given the wheel gap in the front.

Doesn't really count but a rare shot of our LCs altogether.

Ballin!
We have one Touring Package, one Sport Package with CF Roof, and one Performance Package. We've sold one Sport Package with CF Roof and two Touring Packages so far.

I don't know how many we've moved to date. I know 1 client has bought 3 alone.

1 for him and 1 for his wife, and 1 for his home out of state. We've been attempting to get him one & have a TRD kit placed on it before it ships, but that deal has gone silent recently. Guy has mad money though. Bentleys, Mercs, wife rumored to own a 6x6 somewhere.
Think his name might be... Jack?

First ride in one of these yesterday. Wonderful, thing is a beast. He has a GT-R version coming later this year along with the Project One.

Went to Frankfurt for the Mercedes Project One unveil Monday - such a good weekend and events. The car is spectacular. Since I was with my friend who is buying one (a super select group of people) - I got to meet some noteworthy Germans such as the CEO of Mercedes AMG, CEO of Porsche AG, CEO of Volkswagen AG (he even sat with us at the Porsche VIP party Tuesday night), Director of Porsche 919 LMP program - spoke with him for a good 30 minutes about the program and stuff, super cool guy. No BMW guys at that party (lol).
Lewis Hamilton driving the car out.

Don't get me wrong... the car is bat shit insane. The looks just leave much to be desired. Doesn't look like a benz in any shape of the word... looks almost kind of McLaren-ish. I'd still drive one, though. I just wouldn't be happy about it

For our honeymoon, I had originally paid for a 45 min test drive with a Ferrari 458 Italia, but unfortunately the transmission was having issues and all they had available at that price point was the California V8 turbo.
Fine by me
I wish I had a full blown track experience but it was way too expensive .. some back roads did just fine. Instructor let me go over 130mph at some point and believe me .. it did not take long at all
Quick specs:
3.9L Twin Turbski V8
552hp / 557tq w/ dual clutch
3800-ish pounds
Fast AF.
Car was extremely quick, easily the fastest car I've driven yet. What impressed me the most were the brakes and how stable it felt over bumps and crests, even under hard acceleration.
You can actually feel the car making constant adjustments everywhere to get the most amount of power down at the given time and road conditions.

How much did it cost just to rent it for 45 minutes? I've been contemplating renting an exotic for a day just to shoot & drive one for a bit.

This is sitting in the McLaren showroom in Chicago (on Randolph). Made the 720S look like a Pinto.

You know what happened.
It was roughly $275 USD for 45 minutes - expensive? Yes ... but it was our honeymoon and I just wanted to hoon a Ferrari for a bit
A full day rental was between $1250 - $3000 depending on the car

Outside of the P1, I think I'd still go for the 570S.

Were you ever able to track down the 288 Evoluzione? Someone spotted it again a month or so ago at the same dealership in the service bay.
