A supercar is also called exotic car. Exotic car is a loosely defined description of
certain high-performance street-legal sports car. The term hypercar has come into use for the highest performing supercars. A more recent term for high-performance sportscars is
"hypercar", which is sometimes used to describe the highest
performing supercars. As per supercars, there is no set definition for
what constitutes a hypercar.
Here are the 7
most exotic cars of all time:

extremely aerodynamic, and it successfully achieves this, creating its own
weight in downforce.
Both luxurious and functional, the Salon S7 has
leather throughout the interior, an LCD monitor, quick-release steering, and a
custom-fitted driver’s seat which is closer to the center of the car. This
