Pointless Hypothetical multiverse question time…

You have unlimited budget to buy three cars only. But you can only buy from one brand for the rest of your life… what you going for?

And to make it more annoying… what brand would you buy if you couldn’t change your lifestyle from what it is now vs the brand you buy if you could live anywhere.

To start off - and yes I know my choices are probably very typical.
Dream garage living in Germany (for obvious reasons) - one brand.

Ferrari Purosnagweuauaueawuuiuuuee
Ferrari 288 GTO
Ferrari 488 Pista

Dream garage, no lifestyle changes (I.E. can park it where I’m now without attracting too many haters)
Porsche 991 GT3 Touring
Porsche 911 Dakar with a roof rack
Porsche 964 Turbo

Call me simple, but my answer to both hypotheticals would be:

Alfa Stelvio Quadrifoglio
Alfa 4C Spider
Alfaholics GTA-R

Every box ticked.

Ferrari 400i - Comfy cruiser.
Ferrari Testarossa - Big trips.
Ferrari 328GTS - Blasting around the countryside.

Same for both options.

Pains me to say it as I love Ferrari but they can be a PITA to live with at times so

Porsche 918 Spyder
992 Turbo S
Panamera Turbo S Hybrid Turismo

Ferrari list would be
La Ferrari Aperta
Purosangue
458 Spider Speciale Aperta

As above, this is for both hypothetical questions.

Honda fan here, so relatively dull compared to others:

1) 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid CVT
2) Civic FN2 Type R Mugen M20
3) NSX Type R

That'd cover everything I need and I could afford to run them too.

So many options spring to mind!

But sticking with my current brand for both circumstances I'd choose

BMW Z4M Coupe
BMW M1
BMW E61 M5 Touring retro-fitted with the manual gearbox sold in the US.

Porsche

Gen 1 facelift Cayenne 4.8 Turbo S
Carrera GT

I could happily live with that forever and never need to look at anything else.

That's quite a tough one. I should probably say BMW but one would have to be a fast estate, which means I can't see past an E63, so it's just a question of what else from the Merc range.

Fast estate S213 E63S (because why not, but frankly any E63 would be great)
Summer fun car, Convertible/ GT - SL65
Winter fun car? G-Wagen? Mk1 TT with a Mercedes badge?

I don't think I like this alternate reality, I don't think any single brand really ticks all the boxes for me.

Miura SV for a classic to polish, take to events and enjoy driving at sensible speeds


Huracan STO for track and blasts on the road


Espada for day to day practical stuff (probably restomodded to try and make it useable and reliable day to day)


The sensible thing would be to substitute a Urus for the Espada keeping the other two, to be fair.

Carrera GT - Greatest road car of all time



Taycan GTS ST - Perfect practical daily



Cayman GT4 RS Weissach - Perfect B-Road/Track day toy



That would do me. I'd store the GT at a specialist, stick the Cayman in the garage and leave the Taycan on the drive. smile

3 utterly different drivetrains (V10 manual, EV, 6 cylinder PDK) so covers many bases.

DBR1 as a classic to enjoy for the summer / weekends / shows etc.



A proper Vantage, for European trips, Le Mans, the grand tourer etc. Naturally would 'need' to be in V600 spec, but without the nostrils in the grill.



A V12 Vantage S Roadster, the daily snotter for commuting, tip runs etc. with the dog leg 7 speed manual.



No, we don't plan to have children hehe Nice mix of engines too, which I'd want.

Lifestyle says I have to have something for the family:



So sticking with Audi, I'd have one of these for the weekend:



Then how about something a bit exclusive for my daily, hoping the fantasy allows for RHD conversions evil
