If you could have any car in the world.....

1962 Ferrari 250 GTO.

Thanks for the correction! My bad...

 

There just isn't one car that does everything you want (hence Fcar, Range Rover, and soon to arrive Merc AMG S-class Limo and classic Bentley in the garage). Overall the best single-car compromise in the middle of all those requirements (more than 2 seats, looks like sex on wheels, luxury, comfort, engaging to drive, **** quick, can do trackdays, etc.) is my current heavily-modified black 456. I'm the luckiest S O B, and I don't take it for granted for ONE second. If forced to have only one car, I doubt the current Mrs. B and the children would be persuaded that a mid-engined 2-seater is what we're looking for! (Been there already.) Probably Merc saloon would win as other three ****ing expensive to run.

For fantasy sole car, a black 360 spyder (uprated towards Challenge performance with wheels, tyres, exhaust & brakes) would be hard to beat!

 

A hummer is also 2nd on my list but must be outfitted as follows: 25 inch bling bling's, front and rear towing winches, every single frigging option known to mankind on the hummer to get the weight up, TUBI exhaust, custom lowered to handle like an F-car, water proof/sealed so that I can drive underwater also, you just never know when a flash flood can hit and I won't drive it unless it gets no better than 5 gallons per mile. Flashing neon all over the undersides and insides that pulsate to the rap music I am playing.










NOT!

Great response, because this fantasy would have to include some WAM otherwise these Mclarens will up on blocks in the front yard. I just heard a story the other day about how a new half-shaft costs $40,000...

 

For "everyday" use: an Aston Martin DB9.

It's beautiful inside and out and a good performer, so right there it's appealing. But for everyday use, you have the wonderful advantage of either using the paddle shifters (which are apparently good, albeit not Audi/VW DSG good) or, if you're in particularly nasty stop-and-go traffic, full auto.

For the track: a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale.

Very quick, of course, but that's not the half of it. It has a lovely engine noise (something you might actually want to hear in the cabin!), decent paddle shifters, and doesn't seem to be as compromised as some trackday cars might be (like the 911 GT3 RS).

The Alfa 8C 2900 LM "308" Touring Superleggera...

 

I would go for the Mclaren. If times got hard you could peel off and sell some of the gold in the engine bay......

 

How about a favourite one from each country...

GB Aston Martin DB4 GT (not Zagato)
Italy Ferrari 250 GTO '64
Germany Carrera GT
US Dodge Challenger (as on 'Vanishing Point')
Japan Toyota 2000 GT Convertible (as on 'You Only Live Twice')
France Bugatti Atlantic

I stand by the 250GTO. And I would drive it to work on a clear day.

The dark blue 250 GT SWB alloy that's in the Candy Store and has been on the Cal Mille.

Absolutely one of the most beautiful cars in the world and apparently delightful to drive.

 

I second that.

 

Easy....Dino 206 SP. And I'd find a way to drive it to work...like my dad did once when he owned one back in 1981 Great story....ask me about it sometime...
