If you could have any - one - car, what would it be and why did you choose it?

2017 Audi R8 V10 Spyder. If you have ever driven one, you wouldn't ask why. Second choice would be a Porsche 992 Turbo cabriolet.
So since I've never driven one, please tell me why. I'm looking for this kind of info! :)

Ferrari F40. For me, that's at the top of greatest cars ever made. The last true analog Ferrari super-car really. Still a gorgeous and exotic looking car today.

This is the pinnacle of nostalgic Ferrari beauty IMO

The heritage monster! That isn't cheap hahaha. To even find an original would be a bear, let alone someone selling it.

For me either a Porsche GT3 or a pro-touring '70 Chevelle. (With full DSE suspension, mini tub, so on, and so on.)
That's if I could afford either, but I cannot. lol

If I couldn't sell it and didn't need to pay for maintenance, the Pagani Huayra. The level of high-end artistic craftsmanship is insane. I like V-12's also...

Lamborghini Huracan Performante in Grigio Titans. Total package. Stunning looks, amazing performance and that NA V10 sounds wonderful. I couldn't afford to maintain, though. Closest I'll get to an Italian exotic would be a Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.

A pro-touring 67 GT500 would be high on my list, too. I still think that's the best looking Mustang ever made.

Here’s your chance for the 67 GT500:

The Audi V10 makes incredible sounds as the rpms go up. I am hearing impaired and I can still hear enough to appreciate it. In sport mode, it handles like it's on rails, steering is very tight and precise and the AWD really works well. It takes curves at ridiculous speeds, about double what I would try with my Mustang. I'd probably lose my drivers license in a hour, it is so addicting.

I almost bought a used 2014 R8 V10 Spyder, with a 4 year extended warranty, but the seller wanted $2000 more than I had. I wish he would have waited, but he found another buyer. This was the car:
