Los Angeles: Built for Exotic Cars
Los Angeles is arguably the best city in the world for exotic car driving. Year-round sunshine, canyon roads that rival European mountain passes, and a coastal highway that stretches for hundreds of miles create a playground that few cities can match. Here are the ten best drives to take in your Valkyrie exotic car rental.
1. Mulholland Drive (Hollywood Hills)
The iconic Hollywood hills road stretches 21 miles from the 101 Freeway to the Pacific Coast Highway. Tight switchbacks, canyon views, and occasional celebrity sightings make it the most famous driving road in LA. Best in: Lamborghini Huracán or Porsche 911 Turbo S for their precision handling. Go early morning to avoid traffic.
2. Pacific Coast Highway (Malibu)
PCH from Santa Monica to Point Mugu is 35 miles of ocean-side bliss. Open the top on a Ferrari 488 Spider or Rolls-Royce Dawn and cruise at sunset. Stop at Nobu Malibu, Neptune's Net, or El Matador State Beach for photos. This is the quintessential LA exotic car experience.
3. Angeles Crest Highway
Highway 2 from La Cañada Flintridge to Wrightwood climbs through the San Gabriel Mountains with over 60 miles of sweeping turns and elevation changes. It is the closest thing to an Alpine pass in Southern California. Best in: Porsche 911 Turbo S or Ferrari F8 Tributo — this is a driver's road.
4. Malibu Canyon Road
A 10-mile stretch connecting the 101 to PCH through dramatic canyon scenery. Tight turns, elevation changes, and relatively light traffic make it a local favorite. Combine it with PCH for a complete Malibu loop.
5 through 10: More LA Driving Gold
5. Topanga Canyon Boulevard — winding canyon road from Woodland Hills to the beach, best in a nimble supercar. 6. Sunset Boulevard — the classic cruise from Downtown through Beverly Hills to the Pacific. 7. Decker Canyon Road — a hidden gem connecting PCH to Mulholland, tight and technical. 8. Latigo Canyon Road — the most challenging canyon road in Malibu, for experienced drivers only. 9. Palos Verdes Drive — coastal loop with cliffs and views of Catalina Island. 10. The Getty Center loop — Sepulveda to Getty Center Drive, a quick but scenic drive with city panoramas.
