Huracan EVO or GT3 Touring?
Discussion
I’m lucky enough to have both. On the Italian side of the garage, my Huracan EVO RWD followed several Ferraris. On the Porsche side, the 992 GT3 Touring followed several GT cars. I live in the north of Scotland, so the cars only come out to play in the Spring/Summer, but there is no traffic up here and great roads, so they can play properly. I’ve never had any inclination to track my cars.
I’d sum them up as follows:
When I want to have fun and put a smile on my face - I take the EVO RWD
When I want to feel like I’m properly driving - I’ll take the GT3 Touring
Point to point, I’d say they both cover the ground in the same time (at least in my hands), but with different emotions while doing it.

So a small coincidence... and somewhat the reason for my post :-)I’d sum them up as follows:

I have a GT3 Touring arriving in 3 months, and one of my closest friends already has an EVO and a GT3 Touring, along with 2 other classic cars... so I've had a lot of time driving both cars.
During the week, he was thinking of parting with one of his "supercars", so that he could focus on one and enjoy that more. He also previously had V8 Ferraris before the Huracan, and his point was... 18 months ago, he sold his last V8 Ferrari, a few months before the Huracan arrived. During that stage, he "only" had his daily Cayenne and his 2 classic cars, and he never enjoyed his classic cars so much (less to focus on and enjoy). Then the Huracan arrived, and he split his weekend driving across the Huracan and 2 classics. He loves the Huracan, apart from the attention it gets (funny at first, then just annoying, which I agree)... then 6 months ago, his Touring arrived, which he also loves, as he feels it is the ultimate drivers car that you can daily (which I agree). Now, the GT3 Touring has taken some of the occasion and enjoyment off the Huracan, and he feels the Huracan somewhat does the same to his GT3.
I'm half thinking of buying his EVO (and keeping my GT3 Touring)... but half of me feels I would actually only end up adopting his first world conundrum.
While I always believe cars are a personal 'thing', I was interested to hear which car people would choose. I guess for me, it is more of a case will I add the EVO or not, as I will be keeping the Touring (for life). In other words, I'm asking myself is the GT3 Touring 'enough', or is the EVO a different beast to have the pleasure of owning too.
I presume many others have ended up in the 'less cars is more' conundrum too, and I'm sure many others on this forum have a lot more cars in their garage too, so have experienced the same. Interested to hear both your thoughts on A - to add the EVO or not, B - the 'less cars is more' debate, thanks

If you can afford to do it - buy your mates evo and enjoy it - you can always sell it if it’s not for you. I think you would soon get bored of the attention it attracts after driving a stealthy supercar like the touring.
By it, start a thread and share it with us all, it’s Pistonheads after all !

Got to be honest, I’ve never understood the attention thing. It’s simply something that has never bothered me in the flash metal. My wife though does accuse me of having the social attention span of a dead brick.
The only time I’ve had lots of attention was back in the Sagaris. That was like being permanently attached to a rockstar.
