While the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO may be one of the world’s most coveted collector cars, the ultra-rare 330 GTO may be worth more. Ferrari made just two examples of the 4-liter V12 330s, and now one will be on display at the 2012 Concours d’Elegance in Amelia Island, Florida, giving gawkers a rare glimpse at an even rarer exotic slice of history! This car even has a bit of luxury racing experience, which only makes it cooler.

Personally, I would prefer to rent the Dude’s pad from The Big Lebowski...that rug really tied the room together.

It is good to be Birdman—I just want to get that out there. The rapper has a virtual abyss for pockets and his taste in exotic sports cars is top-notch, which is an awesome combination! Not only does the Birdman own a Bugatti Veyron, Maybach Excelero and other mind and speed-blowing machines, he is also the proud owner of the new Lamborghini Aventador. Insert seething jealousy.

It is rumored that Birdman will receive delivery of his Aventador in December, and we are still waiting for our Lamborghini Aventador rental to arrive! I suppose it pays to be a famous music artist.
