Well it sure wouldn’t be anything modern if unlimited funds apply ! Most look as if a 12 year old designed them after watching the latest Transformer movie.

One of these would work nicely.

I'll just get a Land Cruiser. Good enough for me. My 20 year old Toyota runs like new. 134,000 miles. Don't see a reason to change.

McLaren F1 LM...
Slightly more attainable (lol) would be a Carrera GT in Mexico blue

Its not that I don't like some modern cars, but when the "unlimited money" comes into play, its true classics all the way !

My man! My Highlander is 18 years old, 141K miles, running very well, never any trouble, never been in an accident, I plan on being buried in it.

An Enzo Ferrari, for sure! In my opinion it's the best sounding car.


From - simonfurlonger.co.uk

The next best sounding car to me is the Porsche Carrera GT.


From - thebidwatcher.com

The former would still be my top pick.

Speculation aside, as you have unlimited money I would probably buy a Porsche GT 2/3 RS and run track days.

I just got done with a track day at Lime Rock in an AMG GTR. Not having unlimited funds, but having a love for driving, I have come to the conclusion that it is far more fun and funds-friendly to sign up for these events vs. owning a track-focused car.

By the way, carbon ceramics are the bees knees for hotlapping!

A design from 65 years ago that still has not been topped by any manufacture. The 300SL is the epitome of beauty. It simply does not get any better.

In addition to the 300SL, i’d also add a 190SL for those nice summer days. :thumbsup
