Default If you could own 5 cars what would they be??? Conditions Apply.....

So what are the conditions??

1) You can only choose 1 car in each category.
2) The car has to be suitable for each category. ie (No 599GTO's as a Daily Driver)
3) The race car must be a homologated race car. ie (not a standard GT3 RS).
4) The superlight must be road registered.


Category 1 - A Daily Driver. (Comfortable to use everyday with a decent boot)
Category 2 - A Grand Tourer. (2 Door saloon for mowing highways down in style)
Category 3 - A 4WD. (Ideal to take the family to the snow & tow the race car)
Category 4 - A Race Car. (You are going to race in ALMS, FIA GT1, GT2 or GT3)
Category 5 - A Superlight track car. (Ideal for trackdays or runs up the hills)


I look forward to reading your 5 choices!

I like the category selections and I think five is about the right number of cars for a "minimalist" driving enthusiast. I'd approach it with three themes: Porschephile, Dreamer, and Achievable.

I can get the "Porschephile" them done easily enough:

1. C4S w/PDK (in the garage as a Cabrio)
2. Panamera Hybrid (forthcoming)
3. Cayenne (not my choice, but adequate from Porsche)
4. GT3 RSR (or Cup, if you're on a "budget")
5. 997 GT2 RS (this qualifies as "light" by Mr Porsche today ...)
