Aventador or 4 older exotics?

What cars have you been into? (from the list)
Both F430 and 360 are pretty slow. 360 is worth for aesthetics tho, if it looks right.
But you could get a Countach and G spyder/coupe for that sum too, haha.
Aventador is roomy and driver-friendly, unlike previous big Lambos, so you should decide yourself which quality you need most of all.

 

I like the multi car theme vs just one car, but there is the upkeep, taxes & insurance. I really like the Hellcat/GT350. What about a Huracan?

 

Agreed.

I would take the older multi-car package with manual transmissions. I never drove a Gallardo. Why would you want a Gallardo and Murcielago. Given the multiple cars add something different and drop the Gallardo - Porsche GT3.

 

Id get a murci, a 599 and a Viper ACR or 911 gt3.

360/430/gallardo are nice but not when you have a 458/murcielago

 

now is the time to buy a manual Murci, v12 and classic siscor doors are at the bottom of depreciation and now climbing

 

Why would you want a bunch of lesser cars to serve the same function? None of these being collectible either.

Why don't you get 1 modern and 1 colectable classic?

I have owned all of the cars you mention , plus several others. I loved my 360 and 430 Ferrari's. I am not sure they are slow even today but they have a handling tightness and a race car feel that is missing in the 458.

I would suggest humbly you test drive the Hell Kat. They are wicked powerful. he long wheelbase tells you up front that it is not a sports car, but it handles like a modern car.

In my car collection I try to cover another diving niche than the cars I have in the collection.

The newer Lambos made or designed a year after Audi bought them are the most reliable and trouble free. The 458 is also reliable. Those older cars of both marques can be troublesome. The good side if you look around you may be able to get a manual transmission.

Look at and test drive a Hell Kat and keep you other cars.

Good luck and enjoy whatever you decide to do.

Let me add to what Lee said. The Hellcat is a great car,. I have had two of them and currently drive the Charger Hellcat. Lots of fun!

 

Imho ,get what you really want,which sonds like the Aventador, every time you drive one of the lesser alternatives,you will crave the car you really wanted,you can only drive one at the time,a deal is only a deal,if you really want it(unless you are flipping) hovever ,If you choose the multi car alt,my list would be,the nicest Murci convert,get a proper top fitted,man trans. Love the Hellcat for kick ass burnouts and all round dependability,then if there is enough cash left,I would get a Brookville 32 high boy with a Rouch 427 small block ford and inglese fuel set up,with termed 6 speed,

 

I'd go Aventador.

Just my taste, but if you want a 'look at me' car, which is what the Aventador is... I'd go as big as possible... No point in having other older cars sitting in the garage when you can only drive one at a time.

Also, the second you would pull up in an F430 next to a guy in an Aventador, you'd immediately regret your decision.

Of course, the problem with the Aventador is that it will depreciate faster, and you'll feel 'out of date' faster as soon as they release the replacement model... but then, that would have you thinking about logical things like investment value, and that's just ridiculous in an exotic car conversation.

 

If you're considering a Murci to compete with the Aventador, spend more and get a LP640. The power bump and revised egear make a difference.

For $330k I'd do LP640 coupe and 2016 Viper TA or ACR.

 

With that said, drive them and see what you like. I love the Murci, but it feels VERY dated compared to the Aventador.

 

I'm in a similar position to you, and have chosen to have multiple less expensive cars. I like that almost all of my cars are either at the bottom of the depreciation curve, or are (potentially) slightly appreciating. It at least allows me to own the cars and not feel guilty if I don't get to drive them as much as I'd like.

 

Id take a 458 and a Viper

 

And yet I would still prefer the Murci.

 

Murci
Gallardo
Bentley Cont

Sounds like fun

 

I'd get a 550 and a manual Murcielago.

Aventador will drop like crazy as soon as it's replacement comes out with DCT gearbox. 550 and (manual) Murcielago will both go up. I'd add a Challenge Stradale ASAP, pretty much the best modern Ferrari ever build if you ask me. The right mix between raw and modern..

 

Jerry makes a great point. The new gen 5 Vipers are very capable sports cars. I had a 2009 Viper and it had a nervous chasis. The Viper is also reliable. I do not know if they will go up in value but I suspect they may.

The generation 5 Vipers are great drivers fun and sexy looking in my opinion and the growl is intoxicating, just a great sound.

Best

Gen5 is a great car.

Same here.

I daily a Viper GTS (gen2) and have an LP640 manual, both lightly modified. The Viper is so much fun to drive that I find myself leaving the Lambo at home, a lot. Viper is cheap and replaceable, so I'm not worried about racking up miles, parking it anywhere, getting damaged, etc. Lambo is a different story.

I had a blue/white supercharged '96 GTS and that thing was the only car that could draw a crowd like the Murci. My silver '99 ACR and black '00 GTS get about half the attention of the b/w. The b/w was LOUD.
