Default Your "win the lottery" over a million dollar car purchase . . . .

Without a doubt, if I struck it rich on the over 100 million dollar lottery, I would own one of these:



Along with its polar opposite:

The Countach LP400



I've seen both of these cars along with a Ferrari 250 GTO in a museum, the Lamborghini designs are just way more wild than anything Ferrari had until they introduced the F40.

I don't play the lottery as I call it voluntary taxation off the poor

​​​​​​​but to answer the question, I would get an LFA to live with my NSX and order an R36 GTR when they are available to have the modern Japanese Holy Trinity

Honestly? I would get a nicely optioned Mercedes S550, and a nicely optioned Range Rover.

P1, LaFerrari, or 918. I'd definitely do one of those services like Gotham cars as I don't think owning more than 2-3 of my dream cars would be a good investment. But I think of this all the time haha as I'm sure we all do. I've gone from supercharged Rocket Bunny RC-F to Mercedes S class coupe. Something different everyday haha

I think as of right now this is the one supercar that I really see as a dream car. Of course I wouldn't limit myself to one car though if I had over one hundred million... I don't limit myself now so if I had all that $$$ it would be dangerous lol

I always thought I'd want an exotic or a classic car. Then after driving a few, I realized I liked looking at them vs. driving them. I don't like the way the vast majority of classic cars drive and exotics are just too extreme. My ideal garage that would come in at ~million:

Bentley Continental GT Speed W12 as the daily
Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster
Mercedes-Maybach G650 Laundelet because **** you
Range Rover Supercharged Autobiography- because something has to be practical

With that much money I'd need a private track and a huge garage like Jay Leno. But just to keep the fantasy simple, a Veyron would be really nice.

My answer won't be popular, but I think there is already enough tension between the haves/have nots to warrant not buying an exotic car with lottery winnings. Unless I live in some private compound or on a private island, no thanks. Hell, I already have riced-out old Honda Civics trying to cut me off in my lowly A4. An S-Class would probably be my choice, but I wouldn't really need it because I would use the money to constantly travel around the world and experience new things and different cultures. Yes, I'm an enthusiast, but a car can only bring you so much satisfaction.

I'm with you. I just really don't have any desire to own anything exotic.
