Surprise!  It is a million bucks!  The expensive and rare Exos Type 125 is nothing so much as a dream toy for anyone out there with Formula 1 styling sensibilities and a desire to put the pedal to the metal on the open road (or more likely a closed track).  With a low-slung body that would balk at a speed bump, smooth, fat tires that protrude from the carbon-fiber chassis, and a driver’s seat (the one and only seating accommodation in the vehicle) that looks more like a cockpit than a comfort-cruise, you won’t likely see this little beauty on a highway near you anytime soon.  But that doesn’t have to stop you from drooling over it at one of the many auto shows (starting with the imminent Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August 11th) that it’s bound to be frequenting before its limited release next year.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is a thing of rare beauty and is being hailed as the most powerful street-legal Porsche to date.  Its sleek, low-slung design whispers of speed even when it’s standing still and its performance in recent track tests is nothing to sneeze at, thanks to their reliance on Porsche Intelligent Performance (their goal, to surpass the last best model).  And the moniker “widowmaker” seems apt, as any man who is willing to spend a quarter of a million dollars (estimated) to own this rare vehicle is bound to leave his lady love in the dust.
