Each of these you can have for free. There is one catch...
...CVT.
That’s right, each of these manual track stars has had their 3 pedals taken away and replaced with the most enthusiast repellent automatic ever invented. So, DD-Track-Burn. What do you choose, oppo?

DD - GT4 - Engine still in the arse, good enough for me!
Track - Lotus - More rare than the BMW.
Burn - BMW - Eh, nothing of value lost, there are so many of them on the roads.

PDK and DCT actually aren’t that bad. That being said: sell-sell-sell.

DD the BMW because it is probably the most comfortable.
Track the Porsche since it would essentially be an insanely fast go kart.
Burn the Evora because not an Exige which would be the best track car in this case.

None of them.
Although I would very reluctantly accept the GT4 if it had a PDK.

So, I’m going to consider which CVT would end up in which car, here.
The Porsche would get the LuK longitudinal unit as used in the Audi FWD multitronic models. It can hold the torque of the GT4's engine IIRC (I mean, IIRC, Audi stuck it behind 3.0 V6 TDIs), and it’s already the right layout, and I think even would bolt up to the Porsche engine. Burn with extreme prejudice.
The Evora, seeing as it uses the Toyota 2GR V6, would get the Toyota P310, as used in the Highlander Hybrid and the RX 400/450h. With enough work done on the mapping, I think it could be very interesting, even with the weight of a battery. Track.
Now, for the M2. The question really becomes, which CVT ? BMW has used a ZF CVT in the Mini, but that’s transverse FWD, not longitudinal RWD. Conversely, BMW is in a partnership with Toyota right now, that would give them access to the L110 (GS 450h, in L110F AWD form the LS 600h) or L210 (IS/RC/GS 300h) gearboxes. There’s a new box, as well, that I’d guess will be designated L310, in the LC 500h. Given the torque output of the M2's engine, I’m thinking it’ll either be the L110 or the L310. Daily, I guess.

DD - M2 because it’s a street car
Track - GT4 because it’s a track car
Burn - Evora because it’s not as cool as the others

DD BMW, track Porsche, burn the Lotus.
Adding the CVT doesn’t change my choices any, it just makes me hate you.

So you’re asking then which one we’d take just for more looks over performance? Id take the Lotus. Sorry Germany, but the Lotus is where its at in comparison to those 2.
