Your 'dream car'
Discussion
Thinking about this, and with the potential to splash out on something that would have been outside any possible concept of reality as a teenager, I'm not really sure what I desire or what a dream car looks like to me?
In theory budget could stretch to £100k plus which is a huge amount of money to me and much more than I've ever spent before, but equally a long long way short of multi million pounds exotica - e.g. the F40 that was a poster on my wall as a kid, but even with such budget, I'm not sure what I lust over so much at that sort of price. Maybe in the day of the £125k BMW M5, my dream car budget has simply not kept up with inflation? Any form of supercar would probably do the trick insofar as sense of occasion (e.g. a used McLaren or F430/F458) but maybe my age is now dictating something rather less frantic?! Current cars for me, a 2025 Z4 M40i and a 2015 TT TDi.
So, what's your idea of a dream car and, maybe for context, where does that sit along side your current car/s??

As a kid growing up, my Dad used to drive the cars I loved, I remember drooling over an E36 M3 brochure he brought home one day, loved them from the first day I saw it, then he got one and it was amazing (side note, car brochures just aren't the same these days!)
I'm very lucky to have owned cars £150k+ and even more £100k+ such as 911 Turbo S, Bentley CGT, Taycan Turbo S if that counts.
I guess my dream cars are obtainable really, I fancy owning a Huracan at some point along with a 750s.
Thinking of cars that I would love, but couldn't bring myself to spend that sort of money on, I'd be torn between an SF90 or a Temerario with an Urus or a Purosangue to go to work and back in. That's probably the dream. Probably obvious and stereotypical choices.

A Lotus Exige in orange was my “realistic dream car” I remember seeing an orange S1 at donnington probably around 2002 and despite being surrounded by lots of other cars (it was actually a Ferrari day) I loved it.
Probably around 2005/6 when my mate could drive we used to go and look through the window of our local lotus garage (still probably 25 miles away) in the middle of the night because he had just passed his test and what else do you do?!
A few years ago I bought an orange 410 anniversary brand new. I couldn’t believe it and still can’t even though I sold it last year. I had it for nearly 4 years. Loved it but circumstances changed.
I have always been Ferrari mad and I loved a Gallarado I drove on a track day. My mate also has a McLaren that is cool and they look good value. But I think the only car itch I really have left is a Caterham. But I work abroad now and I’m more tight/ sensible so I don’t know if I will ever have one now.

My dream cars growing up are probably a bit mundane for some people but the first car I really listed for was an E39 M5. My dad was using his MD’s car for a couple of days and it was my first experience of any sort of fast car, I loved it.
I now own an F82 M4.
The other one for me was when I was in Greece in around 2006 and I saw a 911 Carerra S parked up at the road side and I loved it straight away, I believe it may have been a 997. The practicalities of owning a 911 stop me buying one currently but once the kids are grown up I’ll buy one.
