Ferrari

                             Enzo Ferrari

      was born in Modena Italy on February 18 1898. He came from a well to do family that owned a metal foundry making railroad parts; they were the first in his town to own a car. Enzo then founded Scuderia Ferrari, who was mainly sponsors’ and trainers for Alfa Romeo. He was officially hired by Alfa Romeo as head of their racing department in 1938, and then in 1940, upon learning of the company’s plan to take control of his beloved Scuderia, he quit Alfa. The first Ferrari road car was the 1947 125 S, powered by a 1.5-litre V12 engine;

      Ferrari has long been one of the ultimate toys for the rich and young (or young-at-heart). Ferrari cars feature highly-tuned small V8 and V12 engines, often in a mid-engine configuration. But until the introduction of fuel injection in the 1980s, they were quite temperamental and were difficult to maintain. Before the mid 1980s they carried a reputation for unreliability and bad engineering, though these were written off by enthusiasts as “character.” Ferrari owners have famously and religiously defended the merits of their cars while virulently criticizing other brands.

Bugatti

Ettore Bugatti was born in 1891 in Milan, Italy, the son of a renowned sculptor, designer and furniture maker. As a teenager, Ettore Bugatti designed and raced motorized tricycles. He built his first automobile in 1901, showing the vehicle at a Milan exhibition. In 1909, Bugatti opened an automobile factory in an abandoned dye works in Molsheim, Germany, now part of the Alsace region of France.
Bugatti's first production model was the Type 10. He molded the frame directly to the suspension, a design that allowed lighter weight as well as greater speed, fuel efficiency and handling. The basic chassis design survived in all later Bugatti cars, as did the characteristic horseshoe-shaped radiator grille.

    

         Bugatti cars are famous for superior handling, high horsepower and an exorbitant price tag. These cars earned their reputation through more than 2,000 racing wins. Bugattis were the vehicle of choice for the wealthy, and have remained among the rarest and most valuable collectible cars in the world. The Bugatti company was the creation of the talented, strong-willed Ettore Bugatti, who demanded, and in some cases attained, perfection from his employees as well as his automobiles Throughout its history, the Molsheim factory only produced about 8,000 automobiles. About 2,000 Bugattis have survived, and they remain among the world's most valuable cars.

Only 300 of the $2 million Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport were ever made. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport has two roofs, an umbrella-like spare and a solid tinted polycarbonate cover that matches the body. The fast and powerful car houses 16 cylinders, 64 valves and four turbochargers producing 987 hp, can hit 0-60 in under three seconds, and reach a high of 250 miles per hour. 

HISTORY OF EXOTIC CARS

                    History of Exotic Cars

             The birth of the exotic car can be traced to the early 20th century foundings of Bentley, Bugatti, Duesenberg, Maserati, Aston Martin, and later Ferrari and Lamborghini. Most of these cars are produced in limited quantities and hand built without the benefit of an assembly line. An exotic car of any age is usually a custom-built, one-of-a-kind, high-performance vehicle that comes either as a luxury sedan, roadster, coupe or sports tourer. It has always existed but was reborn from the rubble of World War II in Italy and Germany with marathon races and attention to craftsmanship. They are usually a muscle or luxury built with high performance to value the price of the car. The reason why the car cost so much is because, of the time and hard work put into the car. "Super car" is the real word instead of what "exotic sports car". Exotic-car engineering and design usually end up in mass-produced cars, such as all-wheel-drive, all-wheel disc brakes, fuel injection and independent suspension the breath-taking look along with its very fast speed makes this car every man dream.
