I don’t know where these fit in the exotic range, but it’s hard to get classier than a vintage Mercedes SL. A good example is this 1985 380SL hardtop convertible-

I don’t know if I love these suggestions. Mine would be:

Maybe it is because I am not a huge oval racing fan, and American open wheel racing has been not exactly popular in my lifetime, but I’ve never understood why anyone would give a shit about having a “Pace Car Edition” of anything.
