I am sure these cars are bat**** crazy cool, but just not feeling anything for their stylng. I get more excitement looking at my GT3 with the car cover on it. I am sure I am in the minority.
I think P1 and Lambos look more like spaceships than they do cars, so I guess we agree. The only current lambo I like in terms of looks is the Huracan.


I do like the 650 / 675 LT McLaren and the 570 GT / 570 S (540 I think will be a great value car) but think the P1 is way too much in terms of looks.


I do like Ferraris I think they keep it futuristic but with enough class that it does not look like a spaceship and can still pas for a car. The F12 is beautiful, the FF as well and the 488.


Porsche 911 has been my favorite car since I was 5 or 6, I am now 34. I do respect all the other cars mentioned above but nothing steals my heart like a 911 does.


I have never driven a Lambo nor have I driven a McLaren so maybe the one day that I do I will agree with the "spaceship look"

maybe because come with PDK , not Manual
the limit are so high on street driving , so the car not scaring me at all.
"weak" engine power and torque compare to V8 / V10 cars.


i'm not sure what car can be more exciting to drive
maybe all the new car a too prefect/too safe , and no longer exciting?

someone feel the same?
I have 991 GT3 and a 700hp NA, Head/Cam C6 Z06 with coilover track tuned suspension. I drive Z06 when I want raw power, V8 growl and crazy acceleration. Get Z06 for raw V8 power and keep GT3 for refinement. I love both.

so we are the same , i was "Porsche kid" since 4 years old
with room full of posters of 993 Turbo
and my mom bought me hats and suites of Porsche
and in general i always feel like a "Porsche guy" then other brands.
i'm 35 years old.
but recently i feel other brands might be better for me
i can't ignore the amazing sound when i stand in front of Lambo Huracan
and the beauty of more "exotic" look cars.
you feel you driving on more "special" car.
too bad i didn't liked the Huracan when i test drive it , maybe i need more time with it.

McLaren cars , look fantastic
i saw 650S , it's look 10 times better then in pictures
never drove one of them.

Ferrari 458 , i tried it for 15 minutes on track , love it !
458 Speciale , if i could afford this car , i think i will keep it for 20 years.
it think it's a Perfect car.

Huracan just released a rear wheel drive version, maybe that will work for you?
