The website Exotic Spotter has a unique approach: Members share photos of exotic cars seen on the streets of cities all over the globe. There are photos of Bentleys and Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches, Mercedes and Aston Martins, and dozens of other exotic vehicles.
The theory behind Exotic Spotter is that dream cars need to be appreciated in real life, rather at car shows and dealer showrooms. They’re not looking for staged photos of exotic vehicles; instead, they want real photos of real exotic cars on real city streets.
“It’s a really interesting idea,” says Marissa Collins, an employee at a Dallas exotic car rental business. “You really don’t get a feel for an exotic car when you see it at a show, and this site is a great way to show exotic vehicles in the real world.”
And when Exotic Spotter claims to have photos from all over the world, they really aren’t kidding. For instance, there are currently 659 photos of Bentley Continentals, and they come from places as diverse as Moscow, Monaco, Budapest, and Sao Paulo. There are Bentleys from Germany, China, Kuwait, and dozensof other countries.

Many people still think of exotic cars as something that belong only to the rich and famous, but you don’t have to be a movie star or a millionaire to drive a Bentley Continental. There are several options out there that allow you to drive your dream car without the hassle and expense of owning an exotic vehicle.

One of these options is exotic car rental. If you want to be featured in a photo on Exotic Spotter, it might be as simple as renting a Bentley Continental for the weekend. There’s nothing that says you have to own an exotic car to be caught on camera.
Another great option for exotic car fans is an exotic car sharing club. Instead of shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars for an exotic vehicle, car club members get to share an entire garage of exotic cars. This saves on emissions too, making exotic car clubs a great green alternative to exotic car ownership.
If you want to see photos of a Dodge Viper, a Lamborghini Gallardo, or a Bentley Continental, check out Exotic Spotter. If you want to drive you dream car, check into exotic car rental or exotic car sharing clubs. An excellent directory of exotic car rental agencies across the United States can be found at http://www.rentexoticcars.net.
