This the exact same reply I gave in the supercar thread, and I beleive I'm right.

Supercars are cars that, in one way or many, represent an exageration of the possibilities and characteristics of common cars. For example, my 4 banger 1.0 gets me 35-40mpg, which is normal.However, I'd call it a supercar if it got me 70mpg and had the same performance simply because that is, considering today's automotive standards, way above the normal. I'd also consider it a supercar if it's engine produced 200hp straight out of the factory and still got 35mpg, not because 200hp is a monstruosity, but because it certainly would be unheard of in today's scenario.

Supercars are all about exageration.

Exotics are cars that, IMO, must be very rare, valuable, desirable and hold at least some historical importance.

Too help you put things in perspective:

supercars - porsche 911 GT2, ferrari 360 modena...
exotics - porsche gt1, ferrari f40...
