- I don't have a SF90 here, because I don't have an allocation for one.
-296 V6, Twin Turbo, Hybird
-Revuelto V12, NA, Hybird
You know you want the V12 Revuelto! It's the typical supercar, lots of drama with the styling and the noise. Since you already have a GT3, I'd go for the full Lamborghini experience.

How about a Ferrari 12 Cilindri ? NA and certainly worth consideration whether in coupe or spider form.

I thought about it, however Ferrari Gods said, “You must buy the SF90 we have here that someone backed out of then you can have the 12 Cilindri”.

I know it’s not a small nible car like the GT3 or 296, but something about a V12 roaring!

Find your inner Bruce Wayne and share your ideal spec.

You never really discussed what you're looking for in the next car. You mentioned a few other cars in your stable. You mention you're between a $400k car and a $600k car, so your budget is at least $600k. What are you trying to find in this car that's not in the others in the stable?

Good Question. I don’t have a V12, guess that answered my question.

How so?

I drove a 296 at the urging of the dealer. I like my 488 more. Cars like this are bought on emotion. What hits you? GT3 is not an exotic. A great car though. I have owned a bunch. Have you driven a 2RS? The looks of the 296 don’t hit me.

296s are beautiful in the correct spec - all subjective ofcourse.

Interesting. What didn’t you like about it?

I think it depends how you can and want to drive it? Street driving or track usage?

I currently own a RS3, Tecnica and F8. 296 should be here in a couple of months.

I actually just sold my 992 GT3. I loved the car but since I don't track the others are just more fun at lower speeds.

I will be getting a manual 992.2 Carrera T though.
