Quote HistoryQuoted: Unless your future nearly guarantees you well more than $1,000,000 you might be better off waiting to buy a supercar until you have more money. Just sayin. They do 144 month loans on exotics bro. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They do 144 month loans on exotics bro. They know how to appeal to their audience... OP it might be worth noting if you're looking for attention/exclusivity, or if you're looking for speed. It's worth mentioning as some others have mentioned, some of these supercars will eat up A LOT of your planned net worth. |

Mercedes or Ferrari.
911 is awesome but still a track car. Lambo is really neither. BMW and Jaguar for 3rd and 4th in a daily/lux/supercar. AMG One |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 911 Turbo S This. I just purchased a 2021 992 Carrera S. I chose it over the Audi R8. I wanted the R8 until I test drove both. The Porsche is faster, more reliable, better handling, and has more storage. |

Quote HistoryThat is awesome. Another vote for the 911, or the Taycan which is likely faster if that's the goal. Pretty much any electric will out-accelerate a petrol engine these days. That said, a 911 sounds glorious! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Clearly the Fiat X1/9. It's "the Ferrari of Fieros."  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d2ao-oFkCgA friend bought a new one when they were first introduced in the '70s. Sexy looking little car. Within three weeks it went back to the dealer in exchange for a Cougar. Problems involved constant stalling, shifting problems and other irritants. The final straw was when the driver's side door glass fell out and the dealership told him it would take six weeks to get one from Italy. |

that 918 is sick. but it's over a million dollars. i saw two of them at Porsche of Dallas last year, a black one and a silver one when i was getting my car serviced.
as most have stated, i'd get a 911 Turbo if you have to daily it. just be ready for maintenance. they're now charging $190/hr for labor by the way at the dealership. The good thing about buying Ferrari, Lambo, and some Porsche's are, you can get your money back if you hold it long enough. I traded in my Cayman S in 2012 for $30k and today, it's still worth like $25-27k. I drive a Cayenne daily, and if i could get the new Cayenne Turbo S, that would be amazing. If you look at the track numbers, it beats most "sports cars" around the track. It's a beast. I've driven a lot of SUV's and the Cayenne is the best SUV i've driven that has the closest experience to driving like an actual car than any other SUV that size. Only the Macan has handled better but it's smaller. |

Koenigsegg Gemera. 1700hp and seats four. It'll set you back around $1.7million. Can take the family out to Olive Garden in it.

For something with supercar performance, but maybe not such a ticket-magnet, I'd be tempted to pilot a Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, or maybe the same trim in a Stelvio, in a muted color.

Lol - laugh whenever I hear supercar daily. FFS buy a Lexus beater and save the angst. Juice ain't worth the squeeze. Literally.
For everyone who says McLaren, it works in FL to an extent. Not so much in the Midwest. Neighbors have them, the poor guy with the 570S up north has a hard time making it over the gutter and up the drive. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The only realistic answer is a 911. Between the practicality (comfortable driving position, good visibility, small back seats, etc) and the RELIABILITY I honestly cannot see how another car could be a contender. Stuff like Ferraris and Lambos and Astons are super-cool, but I would simply not trust them as a daily driver. If you go with a 911, then the question becomes where your defining threshold for “super car” is. I think a lot of people would probably say the Turbo S, or the GT3. Of those two, I’d pick the Turbo S, simply because it is slightly more practical and comfortable for daily driving than a more track-focused car like the GT3 cars. … of course, my choice is the GTS - which I believe is in the “sweet spot” of performance, practicality and value - but I am not sure it’s a “super car” The GTS is the best value of the 911 line up hands down. And you can get it in a manual. #savethemanuals |

Quote HistoryQuoted: "supercar" is about performance, not whether or not it is common or popular. That said, I agree with you that a base 911 is definitely NOT a supercar. But a Turbo S definitely is. As I mentioned above, I am not sure where the supercar line is in the 911 range.  Is that why nobody has suggested a DeLorean?

Also that much weight behind the rear axle is going to give it some interesting handling dynamics. Look out trees!  1982 LS Powered DeLorean DMC-12: Regular Car Reviews |
