If you have 17 minutes to devote to a video, great. If you don't, great. You can either watch or just listen to a wide variety of exotic cars rip around various streets and race tracks from around the world. I'm guessing that this is what heaven sounds like.

Lamborghini Veneno VS. Ferrari LaFerrari
During the 2013 Geneva Auto Show, some highly anticipated exotic supercars have been unveiled by two manufacturers that have battled to reign supreme for decades...Lamborghini and Ferrari. Although there is a bunch of information that hasn't been released by either manufacturer, there's still enough info out there to drop jaws across the world.
It's pretty safe to say that anyone who reads my blog will never have the money or status to be invited to buy either of these 2 cars. But that doesn't mean we can't pretend for a minute. Personally, I'd have to pick the Ferrari. As much as I like the Lamborghini and admire the ridiculous performance figures, the styling and smoothness of Ferrari holds bigger place in my heart. The Lambo is just a tad bit overcooked for my taste.
So, let's say you were actually faced with the dilemma of picking only 1 of the 2 cars, which would it be?
Ferrari LaFerrari
*789-hp, 6.3-liter V-12
*Sub-3-second 0-62 mph
*Sub 7-second 0-124 mph
*499 will be manufactured
*No cost, weight or number of gears has been released
Lamborghini Veneno
*740-hp, 6.5-liter V-12
*Sub-3-second 0-62 mph
*3 will be manufactured
*Price: $3.9 million

Petrolicious | The Testarossa Presence
Growing up in the mid-80's wouldn't necessarily be my choice of eras to be born in if it was determined on what cars were out at the time. The 1980's were such an awkward time for cars. The style, appeal and performance from auto manufacturers just vanished. I guess the same could be said for 1980's fashion.
With such horrendous designs being pumped out of the factories at the time, this gave plenty of room for exotic cars such as the Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari Testarossa and Porsche Turbo to stretch their legs and show their true colors. Like most car-crazed kids born in the 80's, I too had a poster on my wall featuring such cars. Although, now that I'm older, I don't know if I'd actually buy one of those 3 cars if I had the opportunity. With the amount of options that now exist, it would be a tough choice. Then again, I'm no where near that point so who knows what would actually happen. Time will tell...
Here is another well done video by Petrolicious spotlighting one of the three iconic cars...the Ferrari Testarossa.
