Probably the Best Exotic I've seen in the snow was the Lamborghini SUV I forget what its called but the owner drove it up to Brighton Ski Resort and I see a lot of R8s GTRs 911 turbos and a Lamborghini Gallardo. Although some exotics have all wheel drive the main reason I think most aren't driven in the snow is the higher risk of someone sliding into you or you sliding off the road even with winter tires if you wreck such an expensive exotic most drivers just drive their normal car on really snowy Days.

I didn't think about the cost of the tires but that is a very good point. Sometimes salt can also ruin them

Salt corrodes the chassis.

I can't think of anyone in their right mind that would buy a cheaper Ferrari like that to use as a daily driver. A car like that tends to be reserved as a weekend car anyway. In Atlanta it is different, seeing as how it doesn't snow very much there. My dad used to just take my car any time it snowed, so he still had an alternative.

A Ferrari was a bad example, I'm just saying there are some circumstances in which people would defiantly drive things like Granturismos and R8s in the snow.

Unless the snow is a rare occurence, then maybe a car like that as a daily driver with no alternative isn't the best idea. The R8 may have AWD, but the salt with the snow definitely will not be beneficial for the underbody.
