So lets say you won the lottery..

.. I know, everyone would want to buy a GT-R or a 458 or a GT3 or whatever their favourite supercar is.

But if that person has no experience of a performance car, are they just asking for trouble?

So what would be the sensible thing to do? Upgrade their car in increments? Chop their Focus in for an ST220, then an M Series etc, and just climb and climb?

What route would you take?

robinbanks · 4 Sep 2014 at 21:18

depends what they are looking at. I have been told by a owner its too easy to drive a gtr

so i would have thought a 458-gt3 would be a bit of a handful for an inexperienced driver from what i have read.

Turn my aircooled Beetle into an EFI'd turbo'd 2276cc with a spool and go drag racing

mattyg · 4 Sep 2014 at 21:22

Probably jump into a 911 Turbo whilst waiting for my Red car

At least i will run out of talent waay before the car does

Burned_Alive · 4 Sep 2014 at 21:34

I'd probably start with the Mclaren MP4-12C and then move up to the P1

acemastr · 4 Sep 2014 at 21:39

Meh, P1 straight away

Clarkey · 4 Sep 2014 at 21:39

I'd get a GT3, forget building up to it. That said, I'm not a stranger to performance cars.

Housey · 4 Sep 2014 at 21:40

I'd buy a Porsche 917 and you would all bow down to your new Zod.

neverender · 4 Sep 2014 at 21:43

Straight up to Munich Legends to buy an E30 M3, E46 CSL and 1M. Probably pop a F-Type on order too, and a Rangie for the wife.
No need for anything too crazy, but I'm s sucker for M's!

Get a Vintage that I could do up with all the spare time I'd suddenly have

Quite what Vintage I don't know... I'd also make a custom cafe racer too

shauncr91 · 4 Sep 2014 at 21:47

First I'd be in would be a Caterham 620R, no messing about. shauncr91, coming to a lamp post near you soon!

Housey · 4 Sep 2014 at 21:48

I'd actually buy up all the best Group B cars and all the best Group C cars....so it would need to be a BIG win.

rodenal · 4 Sep 2014 at 22:19

An atom or maybe the new radical and lots n lots of track time is honestly what I'd spend a lot of my money on. Well that and lots of repairs for said toy

Then a couple of slightly more sane cars (m5 or 6, gt3 etc) that people and stuff can fit in to kick around in on the road.

Plus some properly old stuff too.

I'd need a very big garage

I'd probably crash them all

vanpeebles · 4 Sep 2014 at 22:20

Allegro vanden plas for me

Backwards through the gates of hell, engulfed in flame, driving something Italian with a drop top, my face powered with cocaine and a dead hooker in the passenger seat, Meat Loaf on the radio.

chanjy · 4 Sep 2014 at 22:24

Hell no. Straight to the Lexus LFA for me plus a ton of tracktime for hardcore driving lessons

G-MAN2004 · 4 Sep 2014 at 22:27

Driving lessons with those types of cars in mind would be my first purchase.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be putting a 300 SL in a ditch though.

Minstadave · 4 Sep 2014 at 23:00

M5 as daily hack. Atom for the track.

acemastr · 4 Sep 2014 at 23:09

I change mine, Lamborghini Aventador Roadster please. P1 isn't noisy enough

Scania · 4 Sep 2014 at 23:23

You've won the lottery! You wouldn't care what you ended up in.....

If the Phantom drop head didn't do it, but 25 Kia Cee'd's instead!

As for me, an Alpina B12 6.0 for running around in, a Scania R730 to tow a caravan and an Aerial Atom for the cobwebs!
