    I totally get your point (after having read your last posts) but:

    1. It's irrelevant in the LHD/RHD subject. Japanese like their Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc. LHD. Some halo/hyper cars are not even manufactured in RHD, so they have to be driven LHD anywhere int he world. Production series like F8 are manufactured RHD and LHD, they could absolutely be imported RHD in Japan, but hey Japanese like them LHD as it feels more exotic to them.

    2. Exotic is a term used by worldwide petrolheads or simply people talking about cars to define low production, rarely seen, generally sports cars. Limited production would not be a requirement for exotic, I believe the wordwide community agrees about that.

    It all comes down to general consensus about what an exotic is. Your opinion is 458, 488, F8 are not that rare, well for most these are rare enough. Again, no one said limited production was relevant, though it is to you. It all comes down to where you set the bar of rarity or exclusivity, but there is a general consensus which places the bar lower than you personally do.

    Wrong those are called hypercars. So you don't think a Lamborghini Aventador is exotic either? It's a regular production car that anyone can buy and according to you that means it's not exotic.?

    I think @MANDALAY is winding you all up and it’s working. If not - that’s a silly, and pretty obnoxious, thing to say, even in a Ferrari Forum. Lol.

    Well im cutting myself short . I have an EXOTIC car a 488 GTB !!!!!!!

    By your "cost "definition exclusive means that its an exotic. Yes they are rare but ill reserve my meaning as exotic to what is quoted below Hypercars.

    So you are basing it on price ?

    Is a Mondial and EXOTIC ? Its a Ferrari . When was the last time you saw one on the road ? Hardly ever so it must be an exotic ?

    The PZero's are terrible in the cold. Car feels like its on ice skates, not helped by the high level of aggregate in our tarmac and a good level of dampness.

    You'll need to tip-toe around until its warmer and you can get >20C in to them.

    MPS might be a little better, but not much when you're so far outside of their operating window.

    I decided to get a 992 Targa 4 GTS for winter. Will be novel to actually put some power down to the road.
