long time lurker on here but looking for genuine guidance on what to get next!

my phantom has just sold and replaced with an RSQ8,

my 675lt spider is up for sale and im wanting something as special/not going to nose dive money wise my choices so far below ,dont want another mclaren really, tim/schmees old senna was on the cards but not sure i can stretch that far to be honest!

SO in my head!

porsche wise- i used to have a 991.1 gt3- loved it

991GT2RS- Seem to be coming down in price 319 cheapest one at min at premier GT! any good?
992 GT3RS- Silly overs at the min maybe around xmas new year this will soften?
992 GT3- these seem to be becoming sensible money now and seen cars with MR packs
SF90-No info at all really on these prices all over the place- last ferrari for me was my pista and i loved that but dont want another.

what else is there? as ive gone through most things recent cars being , murci, pista,gt8,challenge stradale, etc

gt2 rs seems the safer money to me but how usable? or are they a dog without the MR pack?

appreciate as ever the feedback/experiences of others!

Porsches dont really float my boat in any guise but My Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica complements my 675LT spider and 2 ferraris very nicely

Rarest, best huracan and Last of the N/A V10 lambos.

Whilst not matching the overall precision of the mclaren the Steering is right up there with it and the V10 howl obviously surpasses the TT Mclaren.

Last of the proper old school supercars and none of the new stuff interests me anymore so looking more and more at back catalogues.
Top of list is 458 speciale when prices soften

296 over an SF90 personally and 296’s are now around 250k

458 Speciale

Or an older supercar something that is more engaging and fun without having to do silly speeds.

GT2RS still has a ways to go imo - given we're expecting another GT2 with the incoming 992.2 series.

992 3RS is going to go down further imo, into the £2xx,xxx - I think you've got probably into next year for these to settle.

992 GT3 you could probably wrangle a deal at the moment, they're massively oversupplied on the market and cars aren't moving. But, as special as the 675LT? imo, no - but opinions vary of course.

SF90, probably cool - but heard varying things about the drive.

If it were my money, given you don't want another Pista, assuming roughly a £250-300k budget, I'd get into something silly but potentially cheaper than it historically has been. What I'd be looking at is either a Huracan Perf (good value now, can be had for £190k or so), or an STO if you're feeling particularly mental - but only if you've got a good deal. I saw one advertised at £255k privately, that is stonking value and I don't know if you'll lose a tonne of money on that in the future, given the Huracan replacement isn't going to be a V10. STO at £270k is probably where I'd go? Don't know if dealers would go for it, given they're hovering around £290-310k at dealers. This isn't too different from earlier in the year, but I reckon if you can bring them down a little - it's a decent buy.

Oddball suggestion - 812GTS have come down to earth. STO is more "special" as an event. But 812 GTS is special as an overall experience. STO is not a good buy if you actually do want to use the car on long trips and such.

Can see why being that tall would be an issue.

STO is a great track car but I didnt enjoy mine at all on the road, far too jumpy on A and B roads.
Looks mental but very compromised on the road unlike the Tecnica.
The steeing in the tecnica combined with RWS makes the Tecnica the best road driving lambo by far, much improved on the Performante I loved

Good shout.
Irreplaceable IMHO

8 weeks off road is never great but if that's the only issue you have had I wouldnt lose faith.
Parts supply is still disrupted and an issue, so even run of the mill mass produced cars can be off the road 12 months at the mo.

You will defo regret selling a 675LT its an iconic car with a cult following

Don't see any V12's in the past collection. Picked myself up an F12 in the summer and it's epic. I'm 6'3 so not far off you and know the pain of being tall in supercars and the F12 is the most comfortable one I've had (bar the GranTurismo but that's not really a supercar). Still fun on A/B roads, reasonably good at being hustled along but is obviously not as sharp as a mid engined something.

Yeh had a blu electrico f12 loved it was the next car after my pista , ran that and a murci together!

550 575 had them too pretty much had eveything bar a scud and halo cars

Lambo tight fit for me had aventador and murci both just about liveable

Would rather something thats not going to dump its money hence gt2rs as seem to uave been around same price for a long time,

So you want a 100% reliable supercar.
That won't lose any money in a financial crisis.
And is as good to drive as a 675LT.

Time to write your letter to Santa, see what he recommends.

no super car is 100 percent rreliable, but its the experience with mclaren i disliked! and i work with them daily at a brand level!

would prefer it not st its load yes whihc is a normal request , some do more than others thats obvious!

the 675lt isnt great to drive for me probs due to the seats being bucket seats n my arse not being nimble who knows but driving postiion and being 6ft 4 dont work, never had issue wiht ferrari ir porsche from either of those perspectives hence asking specific questions from people with real world expecerience in cars i havent owned eg the pH alumni?

Go drive an SF90, 296 and 812, I'd never consider the SF90 just find it totally unappealing to me. 296 I really enjoyed driving, considering its power the car is truly fun and deploys the power well, but I preferred the Artura to drive, far better steering feel and a smaller more confidence inspiring car on the road, but for me the Artura lacks the visuals, sound and is plagued with issues so not an option I suspect. 812 the last NA Ferrari, one of the best V12's and last of an era, a true hooligan of a car to drive, sideways on command, epic fun.

Agree about STO looks epic, but not that practical, having driven the Performante and Avantadors I found them capable but pretty boring to drive, have driven the EVO RWD which was more engaging but never good enough for me to want to buy one, maybe one day.

Maybe try an MC20, great looks, I'd probably not buy one personally but still a potential candidate.

Swap the RSQ8 for a Ford Galaxy and that's another £100k towards Schmee's Senna. And if you think it is special now, wait until you get into it after the Galaxy smile
