Owning an exotic car is more than just driving a beautiful machine, it’s about protecting your investment, optimizing performance, and enjoying every mile. Here are ten smart “hacks” that every exotic owner should have in their toolkit.
​
Protect Your Paint Like a Pro
Invest in paint protection film (PPF) for impact zones and a ceramic coating for the entire vehicle. These layers defend against chips, scratches, and dirt buildup, keeping your exotic looking as flawless as the day it left the showroom.
Keep the Battery Happy
High-performance electronics can drain a battery quickly. Use a trickle charger when the car sits for more than a few days to ensure it’s ready to roar when you are.
Warm Up Before You Let It Loose
Exotic engines need time to reach optimal temperature before aggressive driving. Give it a few minutes of gentle cruising to protect internal components and prolong engine life.
Master the Art of Proper Storage
A climate-controlled garage protects your exotic from extreme temperatures, humidity, and UV damage. Use a breathable car cover for an extra layer of defense.
Track Days Without the Hassle
Want to unleash your exotic’s full potential? Join track days that offer exotic-friendly pit services and professional instructors so you can focus on the thrill, not the logistics.
Sell Smart and Skip the Trade-In
Trading in at a non-specialty dealer often means leaving thousands on the table. Selling or consigning with an exotic-specific dealership ensures top value and a buyer who appreciates your car’s pedigree.
Maintain Tire Excellence
Exotic tires are built for grip, not longevity. Keep them in top shape by checking pressures regularly, avoiding prolonged flat spots, and replacing them before they age out.
Keep Service Records Immaculate
A complete service history not only protects your investment but can add thousands to resale value. Keep physical copies and digital scans for quick sharing with potential buyers.
Learn Your Car’s Driving Modes
Modern exotics have multiple performance settings that dramatically change the driving experience. Understanding each mode can make your car more versatile and enhance performance for different conditions.
Join the Exotic Car Community
Rallies, concours events, and private track days are where you’ll meet fellow enthusiasts, learn insider tips, and create memories that rival the thrill of the drive itself.
