The number one reason I went to the LA Auto Show was to see exotic cars. I’m not a car nut, not really… I mean, my vehicle of choice (of choice, not necessity) is a 1994 Volvo 940 Wagon. Swedish turbo bricks FTW! But still, exotic cars get my juices flowing just as much as the next guy (or gal), and I spent a significant amount of time at the show doing silly things like measuring the size of the brakes on a Ferrari or repeatedly opening and closing the doors of a Lamborghini. They open UPWARDS, it’s SO COOL! Check out a bunch of pics from the show, after the jump… Click on them for high res versions.

1005hp V8, all interior functions voice activated, car is functional but not street legal. I didn’t know where else to put it, ’cause it certainly is exotic…

You drive the same kind of car as my kids piano teacher.
“Boxy but good”
very very nice car … wished i went to the la autoshow
My last car was a 1984 Volvo 240 wagon (in beige)… Gave it up for something newer at 310k and it was still more or less going strong.
It's unfortunate that the only American car (I think) has so much HP but pales in performance to everything else. Where's the Corvette ZR1?
I am pleased however that the Camaro is affordable and could easily be modified to improve performance. My 1985 IROC-Z is still my all time favorite owned car. Having chicks taking off their shirts at spring break to get a ride didn't hurt. I hopefully will be getting one of these new Camaro's, maybe in year 2 of production. Only problem is that eventually the roads will be flooded with them and then you have no individuality.
For me, the Lotus Exige got the most exotic look. Having 218-horsepower and a supercharged engine, I can't ask for anything less.
