Personally, I find the .2 GT3 a bit overpriced right now with the ADM. However, if you are fine with that, then .2 GT3 no question. If you are looking for a more exotic experience, I would go with a 458 Italia over the Huracan. If you REALLY have to have a Huracan, I would choose the 580-2. Save some money and it's less understeer happy unlike the 610-4.

Performante really looks the business, having seen a couple in the flesh. I think the Lambo design team hit a home run there. A white or black one with the gold 5 lugs and decal delete for me would be a stunner, but price wise you'll be north of 3RS territory..

If you already have the attention grabbing, wicked fast Skyline, I think the GT3 would be the perfect compliment. Hard to pick a better reliable driver's car, and you'll smile every time you take it out. If I were you and didn't already have the Skyline, I would probably go Huracan. It's such a good car, especially when considering the older, more primitive v10 cars. One of the only attainable cars to potentially sound better than the 3 too 
Engine, gearbox, looks are all killer. Have some experience with both for what it's worth

I had a 991.1 Gt3 991.1 RS now 991.2 GT3 in Manual.
I drove a hurancan back to back with my .1 gt3 on track. The lambo only lasted 3 laps and check engine light came on. It was overheat.
Also it feels numb. Gt3 feels a lot more alive and handles track abuse a lot better.

OP,
You should really try to see if you can at least test drive a 991.1 GT3 if you can't get any seat time in the .2 GT3. You are coming from highly modified HP cars, you may find the HP/torque in the GT3 underwhelming.
Also you won't appreciate GT cars if you are unable to explore full potential, you need to keep the revs up high !

UPDATE: I drove a Huracan today and WOW, what an experience! I felt like I was driving a fighter jet! To be honest it didn't feel very nimble, and I felt like a bit of a **** driving it.. But my god the sound!
I definitely want to get some seat time in a GT3, whether it be a .1 or .2, as obviously I've never driven an exotic before I have nothing to compare the lambo to.
It felt great, don't get me wrong. An absolutely amazing machine. But I didn't really feel like I shared a connection with it. It did feel numb.
Jackmac: I also have a Honda Integra DC2 Type R track car, so I know allll about no torque and having to keep the revs high! I'm sure the change from a 1.8 inline 4 will be very pleasant!
If anything, driving the Huracan did kinda push me towards a GT3 a bit more, but no hate on the Huracan, I think it just doesn't suit me & my personality.

I think the engine in the .2 Gt3 is pretty awesome too! I think they are very different cars. I find the Performante to be more of an event every time I take her out. The Gt3 just does everything right. The seats, gearbox, sound, build quality, visibility, handling, proportions and looks, electronics etc. don’t know which I prefer as they are different, however, I suspect I’d have a really hard time parting from the Gt3.

I have driven all the compared cars, manaul GT3, 991.1 GT3/RS, 610-4, 580-2 and Performante.
Performante is literally the mid point of a Ferrari and GT3, Italian flare and GT3 type precision. Everything is superior besides, VISIBLITY, gearbox and braking. On track braking its not as stable as the RS, and gearbox is not as consistently fast. I personally don't feel comfortable driving the Huracan because I can't see anything! The 580-2 just kicks out easier but generally feels the same with a bit less understeer. (But GT3 got some understeer too)
You won't regret a manual car that revs to 9k. Every time I get back to my 997 GT3 I feel so involved where its missing in the other cars. With the new engine, you are only down around 50lb torque to the Huracan on paper. When you drive it the torque is immense and you won't feel your lacking any power.
