AUTO EXOTICA DELIVERS WORLD’S BEST SHOWCASE OF EXOTIC CARS
             Fans can get up close to dozens of rare exotics all in one space

TORONTO, February 12, 2018 — They’re among the most incredible cars on earth even though
they’re rarely seen on our Canadian roads.

Because they are so rare, being able to get a close viewing of the many exclusive exotics on display
at the 2018 Canadian International AutoShow is a memorable experience for car enthusiasts. Auto
Exotica, presented by Castrol and the National Post, a perennial favourite attraction at the Show,
allows visitors the opportunity to appreciate the beauty, style and artistry of dozens of the world’s
most impressive cars all in one space.

Visitors will be able to get close to an incredible lineup that boasts Koenigsegg, Aston Martin,
Bugatti, Callaway Corvette, Lamborghini, Bentley, Karma, McLaren, Pagani, Rolls-Royce, Lotus and
more.

The star attraction in Auto Exotica this year will be a vehicle making its first introduction to Canada
– the World’s Fastest Production Car – the Koenigsegg Agera RS. On Nov. 4, 2017, Koenigsegg AB
took the Agera RS to the Nevada desert and smashed five existing production car speed records,
including setting the highest top speed achieved by a production vehicle at 457.94 km/h, (284.55
mph). The actual record-setting car will be introduced on media day by Koenigsegg AB CEO
Christian Von Koenigsegg, and will be on display for Show attendees through until February 25th.

Kicking off the Canadian International
AutoShow week, the Lamborghini Urus will
make its Canadian debut at the Design
Exchange in Old Toronto on Tuesday,
February 13. This is the first time the Urus
will be in Canada. The world’s first Super
Sports Utility Vehicle hailed as the fastest
SUV on the planet will be on display at
Grand Touring Automobile’s Auto Exotica
exhibit between February 16-25th.

Interested media should contact the Lamborghini Press Office - Morgan Theys (Extension PR) at
mtheys@extensionpr.com for further information/access to the Feb 13th event (registration
required).

Another new entry to this popular Show feature and the Canadian market is the BAC Mono – a sleek
single-seat formula-style car built by Liverpool, England-based Briggs Automotive Company (BAC)
and designed to appeal to track enthusiasts. The one on display in Auto Exotica is courtesy of Pfaff
Auto, the official distributor for BAC in Canada.

Other new features include the return of Tesla and a specially-wrapped, 500-horsepower 2016
Porsche 911 GT3 RS courtesy of American auction company Barrett-Jackson.

Lovers of North American power will be happy to see Callaway making a very welcome return with
two impressive offerings showing off their Corvette Z06 and a rarely seen SC757 Corvette
AeroWagen.
