Exotic cars garner attention for their luxury appeal and unique blend of performance and horsepower. To the untrained eye, they may seem frivolous, but car enthusiasts, racers and collectors alike all know exotic cars will always have their place in the automotive industry.

From undeniable power to the complexity of needing special instructions for handling and driving, the top ten exotic cars available in the US are sure to leave an impression.

1. Dodge Viper

Nicknamed the Widow Maker, the Dodge Viper is known for its intense power, exclusivity and for being difficult to handle on the road.

The Dodge Viper production was introduced in the nineties with the help of Bob Klutz. It boasts the Italian V-10 engine. It is still around today, though it is difficult to maintain due to a limited supply of its unique parts.

2. Falcon F7

Made in Michigan, the Falcon F7 was the supercar dream of Jeff Lemke, Falcon Motorsport CEO.
