Forbes Auto made a list with top 13 (wonder why 13?) hottest cars of 2008. Most powerful, expensive and beautiful car made into that list, and although in my opinion the order would have been a little bit different, I really like that they chose.
Speed and style are still the operative words for sports cars, but they’re getting plusher and more luxurious, thanks in part to an aging consumer base. Sales of sports cars in 2007 show that the rich are getting richer, and as the average age of sports-car buyers steadily creeps up, more models with added luxury and amenities are rolling into showrooms.
Among new models for 2008 in the exotic segment are the Maserati GranTurismo, an elegant and civilized near-exotic coupe, and the stunning Audi R8, which is that company’s first foray into the realm of uber-sports cars.
