-- $4,000 Grants You a Day in One of the World's Fastest and Most
                    Exclusive Cars in the World --
MANHATTAN, N.Y. & MIAMI--(Business Wire)--
Gotham Dream Cars (GDC), New York and Miami's premier
"ultra-exotic" car rental company & membership car club, announces the
addition of one of the world's most exclusive super sports cars to its
fleet: the Saleen S7. Known to the automotive world as the race car
built for the street, the Saleen S7 will now headline GDC's premier
fleet, which includes various models from Lamborghini, Ferrari,
Maserati, Aston Martin, Bentley, Porsche, Mercedes, and more. With an
original base cost of more than $400,000 and fewer than 100 total
units built, this 200-mph-plus super car is expected to create a six
week waiting list at $4,000 per day.

   "The addition of such a rare super car represents the first of a
number of special additions we intend to make in the coming months,"
stated Noah Lehmann-Haupt, President and CEO of Gotham Dream Cars.
"Most people only see unique cars like the Saleen S7 in movies and
museums. Gotham Dream Cars is making one available for its clients to
drive freely - speed limits permitting."

   The Saleen S7 is America's super car: a limited production,
hand-built masterpiece designed by race drivers and engineers to push
the very limits of what is considered legal to drive on the street.
GDC's candy-apple-red Saleen S7 has a naturally aspirated, 7-liter 550
horsepower engine and weighs only 2,750 lbs. The car is constructed
entirely of carbon fiber, aluminum and chrome-molly tubing. The Saleen
S7 is available at both the company's New York & Miami facilities and
is reserved only for returning GDC customers and members of its
exclusive DreamShare exotic car club.

   Gotham Dream Cars is the leading source for "ultra-exotic" vehicle
rentals and driving experiences in New York, the Northeast, Miami and
South Florida. With the country's largest dedicated and company-owned
fleet of exotic cars, GDC's 20+ vehicles are valued at well over $4
million and are available to its clients by the day, weekend, week or
more. The company offers traditional rentals, group driving events
(The Dream Car Tour(TM)), and an exclusive fractional-style membership
club (DreamShare(TM)) that gives car lovers the joy of exotic car
ownership without the hassles of maintaining, insuring, or purchasing
the often finicky and always expensive high-end vehicles. Please

www.gothamdreamcars.com for more information on what sets it apart
from the ordinary.
