Treat car 50-80k budget

[LincolnLovin]

I'm looking for a usable treat car, so no track slags current cars on the list, it needs to have four seats to (in theory) fit the kids in for the occasional journey:

Petrol: LC 500 v8
Hybrid: BMW i8
Electric: Jag I-pace, Tesla model s

My heart says the LC500, but I am having more trouble than I thought in justifying a pure petrol powered car.

911's have 'back seats'

Lotus Evora

[Chainsaw Rebuild]

Classic: Bentley Turbo R plus a maintenance fund. It would be such an event and unlikely to lose money, I would think.

Convertible: BMW 3 series with folding metal roof. Convertibles are great in general.

Fast and awesome: TVR Cerebra

If it really bothers you then you can buy the LC500 in hybrid form:

But test drive one back to back with the V8 as you may well find you're no longer concerned as the V8 for me adds an extra layer of specialness that the hybrid lacks:

No sign of electric here, but a special car.
(LC500 good too)

Usable at what though?

I'd probably go convertible as well.

Ferrari California T.

With a bit of argy bargy the newer T model is in budget or there's plenty of the previous Gen. Newer one is head and shoulders better tho.

Ooh, good call. Had no idea these were in budget.

Not the best looking or handling Ferrari, but who cares!

I already have a "classic" American car that causes more pain than joy, so those are out
