Exotic Sports Car Rentals - Gotta Get Me Some!

I don't know about you, but I've always wanted to drive one of those really extreme high-end sports cars. Lamborghini, Ferrari, Mazerati... the list goes on. I've never sat in one of these kinds of sports cars, let alone driven one - all that power transmitting itself from the tires all the way into the palms of my white-knuckled hands, seeing the looks of envy on the faces of everyone I pass by.

Oh What A Feeling
What a feeling that would be. I thought I'd never get to have that experience, but I found you I actually can! Turns out there are hundreds, possibly thousands, of exotic car dealerships all over the United States and all over the world. For a week, a day, or even just a few hours, that exotic, luxury sports car can be yours, along with the feelings of superiority that come with it! True, it will set you back more than the average compact car rental. But what an experience! Being behind the wheel of a sports car, a TRUE sports car that's normally only seen on the race track, is something most people will never experience. The bragging rights alone are worth the price of admission!

OK I gotta Have One. Now What?
So where do you find the sports car rental of your dreams? You'll have to look around to see who's in your local area with sports cars to rent out (or the area you plan to be visiting if you're thinking of doing a vacation sports car rental).

Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Review Luxury Sports Car

The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish was designed by Ian Callum. When you think of GT vehicles, the V12 Vanquish is considered quintessential. The V12 Flagship model was introduced to the general public in 2001. 2007 was the last year for production of the car. Throughout all that time the V12 Vanquish served as the flagship vehicle for Aston Martin. The car became a part of pop culture when it was featured in the twentieth James Bond film, "Die Another Day.

In 2004, Aston Martin unveiled the Vanquish S model at the Paris Auto Show. Newly designed rims, an upgraded body styling, and more power outfitted the upgraded V12 model. In 2005 Aston Martin not only put the V12 S on sale, but they made the Sports Dynamic Pack a standard part of the car. The Sports Dynamic Pack gives the V12 (S) sportier suspension, better steering, and braking power. During 2005 the V12 S and the base V12 were sold alongside one another. In 2006 Aston Martin only sold the V12 S in the United States. By 2007 Aston Martin only sold the V12 S in Europe.

Ironically the last of the Aston Martin's V12 production run was celebrated with the creation of the Vanquish Ultimate Edition. Aston Martin decided that the last 40 cars produced the V12 format would have a new Ultimate Black exterior color. The cars would also have upgraded interior as well. The UEV, comes with a standard manual transmission. Previous owners of the V12 applaud this upgrade considering the sloppy shifting mannerisms of the floppy paddle gear box found in the standard V12 Vanquish.

Aston Martin DB9 Luxury Sports Car Review

The Aston Martin DB9 is a GT which was introduced by Aston Martin in 2004. The DB9 is the first car to be built at the Gaydon plant in England. The DB prefix in DB9 stems from David Brown who owned Aston Martin from the late 1940's into the 1970's. The DB9 was designed by Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker. The DB9 replaces the DB7 which started production in 1994.

The DB9 coupe has a 6.0L engine. It has the same V12 engine as the Aston Martin Vanquish. With a width of 73.8 inches (over 6 feet), a height of 52 inches, and a length of 185 inches, it would be an understatement to say that the DB9 is a big GT. With such massive size in a coupe one might consider this machine cumbersome and slow. But underneath its bonnet lies a 450Hp power plant capable of raising the car to speeds over 180mph.

Currently there are more than 5000 Aston Martin DB9's produced each year. It is around the same numbers as Ferrari's F430 and Porsche's 911 Turbo. The DB9 come outfitted in a standard manual transmission or with a floppy paddle gear box. The instrument panel is as unique as the gearbox. The DB9's tachometer runs in a counter clockwise direction. Instead of the usual redline that is on most sports cars instrument panel the DB9 has a red light that glows when you are redlining the engine. In 2006 a sports package was introduced for the DB9 which improved stiffness, lowered right height, and added aluminum 19 in alloy wheels.
