As a massive gearhead I am absolutely in favor of this exception. Lots of practical and pragmatic arguments are being made here like the fact that very few of these cars are sold and they spend most of their lives in a garage, but allow me to make an emotional argument.<p>I got to drive a Ferrari a about 2 years ago, and after that drive I am convinced that the only way to understand why these cars is to drive them. Sure the look insane and the spec sheet is equally insane, but the thing I took away most is all the little sensations you get while driving it. The exhaust crackle, the whipping acceleration when the turbo spools, the rev jump when you downshift.<p>All these little pieces of magic will be lost if supercars have to go electric. Yes they will all retain the same power and handling, but when I drove that Ferrari the most fun I had wasn't when I was flooring it but when I was just putting around town, shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear and hearing the exhaust crackle and engine rev. After my drive I was left with chills down my spine and a determination to one day have one in my garage.<p>I really really hope Ferrari and Lamborghini get this exception, it will be one of the saddest days in the automotive world when these automakers have to put their V8's and V12's to pasture.
