Pick one for each of the four price tiers

So we’ve already got all the cars we need so these are purely toys right? I’d want a Vantage v12, silver, (can I get that for under 195,000?), and a new 911s in that sexy new blue, (slot that in under 120,000.) For the top slot I’d take a 488 Spyder, white. Sub $50,000 I’ll go with a Mustang GT in Grabber Blue.

1. Up to $50,000: A VW Golf II in red, 5 doors, manual transmission. Realistic price, 800-900€

2. Up to $120,000: A Land Rover LR4 in white with a tan interior, lifted, locked, and equipped for serious off-roading and backcountry adventures. With 7 seats, naturally.

3. Up to $195,000: You can get a Lamborghini Diablo/Diablo VT for this kind of money if you shop around. This would be a good purchase. Not in red, and definitely not with those hideous Murcielago wheels, but you get the idea...

4. Up to $480,000: Bentley Flying Spur W12 like this one, but with a bespoke interior that provides 3 proper seats in the back for my kids, not just a standard, crappy middle spot.

hahaha, I actually popped this question because I realized how hard it was. It’s really hard to remove utility from the cars and just pick for pure driving pleasure. i’ll post here in a few minutes

Last one was tough, but an NA V12 beats those turbo 8s. Wish the Huracan Superleggera was out.

Yeah, I have several cars I wanted but that $50k bit took me a good 10 mintutes. Part of me thought Chevrolet SS Sedan but I’d actually have more fun moding and trying to up efficiency in the Volvo.

The only thing wrong with the Huracan Superleggera is I have no idea how they’re going to top it. It’s going to be their 458 Speciale moment for sure.

Those are great choices!! I wish I could give you individual stars for the MKZ and NSX!!

I was stuck between the Focus RS, M240i and the Camaro. No turbos except for Porsche in the end.

Dammit, I hit ‘publish’ before I realized you actually wanted us to disregard practicality. Back to the drawing board!
