Christmas Present

[kilesa4568]

The curse of a constantly changing mind told me to cancel the Aston and buy the F40 instead. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No explanation necessary for the legendary F40. It's the daddy.

 

[GTvsForza]

My Fantasy choice: VW Supersport VGT

Realistic choice: Nissan Skyline R33 (since the R34's can't be imported to the US yet...)

It's a 3 decade old model that still shines until now.

 

[fastone371]

I would choose the Fittipaldi. That car seems to get very little love for such great car, maybe because it's a VGT.

 

[AlexDB9]

The Aston Martin DB11 in this dark caramel color please!

 

[RacingGrandpa]

911 RSR and then make it road legal

 

[Volksauto]

@TonyJZX described perfectly my opinion for the 250 GTO. That’d be my first choice as well but I’ll choose something different.

Oh! Definitely the 1966 Volkswagen Beetle! 👍

That or the 1952 Abarth Biposto. A very unique and beautiful one off car that encapsulates ‘50s European and American styling very well!

The car Gordon Murray used as inspiration for the F1.

NA engine, manual transmission, no bs, all business, a race car for the street. A space age looking car in the 90s, that can be serviced at any Honda dealer. Senna's stamp of approval and world renown street cred. I've wanted one for years and now's my chance.

But this is Christmas and I'm having my McLaren F1 '94 in Base Silver, delivered.
No car on the planet, since the Model T, Beetle and Mini, has stirred the auto industry like this marvel. *sniff sniff* Maybe I need to smell what I'm shoveling... Anyway!... It's got a manual, NA V12, three seats(just enough for my wife and daughter), custom luggage, real gold in the engine bay, a/c, bespoke stereo, centerlock wheels and double round headlights and taillights. Come on! There are no other choices.

Traction control? Nyet.
ABS? We no need no steenkin "ABS"!
If Rowan Atkinson can crash one at high speed and risk his life again in another one, surely I'm tougher than Mr.Bean.

The car is so brilliant, "G-money" Murray waited 25 years to pen another 3-seated beauty, for this millenia. That's nice. Well, until that makes it in a next GT, I'll enjoy the original. Merry Christmas.

 

[LotusEvoraGTE]

An Evo X Gr.B Road Car seems right up my alley, personally.

An Evo X Gr.B Road Car seems right up my alley, personally.

Those probably are the best Allround cars in the game. I mean, if you're not a lumberjack or going to yoga class, the Tundra and Raptor aren't required. Good choice.

 

[GTV0819]

I wish they also had an Evo VIII Gr.B in the game.

First of all I want to make clear that I don't want to be disrespectful to anyone.
As I stated before ''de gustibus...''

Gyus, this rich benefactor offers us any car we desire (fully insured, taxed, fully serviced and repaired for as long as we have it).
I repeat ANY CAR WE DESIRE!
Having this, once in a lifetime, opportunity, some of us choose a pick-up or a Supra or an Alpine?
Come on guys...If I was the benefactor, I would consider this as an offense...

These cars are, more or less, affordable by too many people. Ferraris, Lambos, McLarens, Porsches, the race cars some chose, are not.
We have the opportunity to have, for free, a car straight from our wet dreams! Let's rise to the occasion!

After taking on board Sakinen's good advice, and with a day and a bit to go, I've changed my mind. The GT-R is a beautiful machine but I guess I was thinking "every day use". I will keep my own car for daily use but for special occasions, posing, and to simply drool over when parked, I'm going to ask for the McLaren VGT (Gr 1 or X, don't mind!). It's stunning to look at, exciting to drive and I could listen to those engine grunts at gear changes all day! Not sure how to get in and out though

 

[RacingGrandpa]

OK. I too will change my pick. The Mazda 787B.
I would move close to a racetrack.

The howl of that thing is amazing!! And with free service a Wankel is perfect!

 

[YRS2703]

For me it would probably be the XJ13. It isn't the most popular car in existence, nor is it the most well-decorated car around, yet it is probably the rarest of the lot, and at the same time isn't the most recognizable (showing up to a meeting in a DB11 is all well and good, but parking outside the company headquarters in an ultra rare, green race car with the manifolds sticking out? Much better)
The sound, the design, not much can be said about the car, because it has to be experienced.

Other than that, then it's the Miura for obvious reasons of The Italian Job and just oozing style wherever you go. Like James May said, driving a Lamborghini is like going around your daily business with a Michelangelo on your head. You're doing the world a favour by showing them art.

Mr. Santa, please be listening

Imagine that some rich benefactor offered you a real life version of any car you desire from GTS as a Christmas present.

It would come fully insured, taxed, fully serviced and repaired for as long as you had it, at no expense to you.
You can use it in any way you want - daily runaround, special weekend car, take it racing or just keep it parked to stare at!

For the purposes of this fantasy it can be any car, including VGTs and group X cars that may not exist any more (e.g. the Jag XJ13).

There is one condition and that is you cannot sell or give it away - it's yours for life.

What would you choose and why?

I would be happy with this one, in this colour please .

Nissan GT-R 2017 Premium Edition .

Gyus, this rich benefactor offers us any car we desire

I heard you the first time and this is the car I want, not the most expensive car, but a car I would like to have and a car I can't afford... ever.

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Mazda Demio XD Touring '15.

By day, a fun and economical supermini.

By night, a baby touring car in the making...

 

[Silver_Wolf]

If I could drive there is only one car I would ever want to own...

That is all (Miyuki & Natsumi's Car from You're Under Arrest!)

 

[KayX23]

This please!

Tiny, beautiful, light and sounds great!

Giving it a little more thought and if it is indeed any car I would definately go for a Lexus LFA as this is clearly a car I would dream to have!

Just look at that I would use this car so much if it ever comes to GTS.

 

[RetroJohan]

One Ferrari F50, thank you!

 

[KepleroGT]

Since I watched the Top Gear episode I fell in love with the 918. Agile, powerful, beautiful looks. The sound is a bit on the weak side (for that I'd prefer the Carrera GT) but it's still elegant.
I thought about choosing the Mark IV but you can't use it on the streets

 

[sirjim73]

Well, I waited and waited but nothing yet...

Mind you, **** knows how Santa would get an XJ13 or D Type down *my* chimney anyway!

 

[Veinz]

I’ll take a new Supra in army green with black wheels and interior to match my 4Runner.

that color doesn’t really fit the car very well but at least I would be the only one!

 

[kilesa4568]

 

[fisheye]

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak

 

[oinksnork]

I really like the Peugeot RCZ Gr.B. But I think that getting a car like the XJ13 en trying to get it street legal, or at least getting it in a more public place so more people can enjoy it is the better option.

 

[V4.SKUNK]

The 250GTO. Is there any other choice? The car is one of 36 or 39?

The last one went for USD$70mil?

I remember as a kid the Sumitomo Bank bought one at auction for $20 mil and that sounded outrageous at the time... it sat in their foyer.

I also remember around that time one of the millionaires of that era... Alan Bond, you know the guy who financed the 1983 America's Cup win, bought Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" for $84 mil.

So that 250GTO is 'our' "Sunflowers". I have no appreciation for fine art but yes, the 250GTO is the ultimate piece of automotive fine art.

This is the only logical choice! A 250 GTO!
If you don't like it? Sell it for £40+million.

There is a stipulation can't be sold - but still a great choice!
I didn't get either of my picks, but GTS did give me a Lancia Stratos for Christmas and I was happy with that.

996 or Taycan. Dunno, electric car is still a big problem, especially when you live in apartment and really far from public charger, but future is near and tax free electric sports car would be the greatest present. If Santa low on cash, I would take beloved 996, or at least 993, still can't decide which one I love more.

Looking on my avatar, would not be upset if it's him already picked this car for me.

Plus, few or none countries electrial grid is ready for swapping out all fossil fuels cars for electric cars, maybe never?
