A supercar requires many ingredients; it should be exciting, fast, have a massive price tag, there are so many that I don't have time to list them all. Then from the very start, the Veyron has most, if not all of these features. But the best supercar should have a good balance of all of them. The Veyron excels greatly in several select categories; it is exciting, a huge price tag upwards of $2,000,000, and is after all, the fastest car in the world (>Venom GT), but after all, there really isn't much else. Sure, a replacement transmission costs $120,000, and it can do 268 MPH, but it lacks 'the full package'.
"The most pointless exercise on the planet has got to be this four-wheel-drive thousand-horsepower Bugatti. I think it's incredibly childish this thing people have about just one element - top speed or standing kilometer or 0–60. It's about as narrow minded as you can get as a car designer to pick on one element. It's like saying we're going to beat the original Mini because we're going to make a car 10 MPH faster on its top speed - but it's two foot longer and 200 kilos heavier. That's not car designing - that just reeks of a company who are paranoid..."
—Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1
It lacks driving presence (I've never driven one, but reviews state this consistantly), and if you really think about it, what was a work of automotive art has become only a fashion accessory to the filthy rich. A supercar does show your social class and status, but it needs more than a huge price tag to be the best supercar out there.

To me an exotic car is a car that has an impressive badge, is mechanically special in some way like being very fast or super luxurious, and it is something that the normal person that knows nothing about cars would stare at as it drove by.
i think exotic means that it can go on a poster. im not putting a cls63 AMG, bmw m5, tesla model s, on my wall, but i am putting anything ranging from an r8, maserati, all the way to a veyron, mclaren f1, one-77. also, if you don't even hesitate to grab your phone, camera, then its exotic
Feelings in this order
