Decisions on Exclusive Series inclusion could be based on many factors. Two come immediately to mind.

The first, is that it is based on the amount of "revenue" generated by a particular car. Let's say the hypothetical target for the FERRARI 812 SUPERFAST was 72,800,000 for the Game Team to generate from Inheritance (728  [Full-Upgrade] x 100,000 units). If they were significantly under this target (Lots of people skipped the event) they attempt to generate that revenue by adding an ES. If all else fails, they eventually run a sale, and the ES incentivizes people to upgrade.

The second is a predetermined agreement with the licensor. There are 6 Ferraris, 4 Astons, and 3 McLaren's that have ES's. However there is only a single Porsche, even though Porsche has 10 more cars than it's nearest competitor, Ferrari. It can be inferred that FM sold Ferrari, Aston and McLaren on the idea of exclusivity, where as it wasn't as important a selling point to Porsche.

Given how stringent some of the brand reps are, it is easier to sell them on a single car series than doesn't place their car(s) at risk to losing to the cars of their Real World competition.
