Thinking R8 V10 2011-12 through 14 or Jag F Type R AWD 16

Any comments or recommendations ?!
I just test drive GTR loaded and Black Edition with Recaro seats and huge carbon fiber spoiler 2016!! And left but impressed with how the M5 is a much better car and actually not overall or because of room and this crap!! It feels a lot faster and sounds way better than this GTR!!

Am I missing any thing here?!

And yes I drove it really hard for 30 minutes or so!!

Very bad seating position !!

Very nice traction but that's where the good things end!! And of course fast but my butt DYNO refused to like it like the M5 and mine is a trained butt

So would really apprciate guidance
Don't care for Porsche 911 Turbo because I know it wint have good exhauste note either !!

Test drove Calfornia in Paris and OMG loved it !!

Thought about it!
But looks

That's what I really fell for and don't think I ever drove a more sexy or satisfying car! And edged my M5 in every possible way

Garage List
2024 BMW X7 M60  [10.00]
The Jag looks (and sounds) great. I haven't driven one though.

Are they putting a dual clutch in them yet? Last I heard was they were automatics.

The Jags are ZF 8 speed auto.......they may not have the shift response levels of a DSG/DCT.......but Vic55 can attest to how good these new units are for an auto unit

I would go with the F type R coupe. It's hard to beat the exhaust sound on that car.

Ok
I agree BUT and that's a big but
Interior is really a let down!
R8 couldn't be more impractical!!

Can anybody think of a coupe or a vert that can take 4 people (Kids in back) and really above ///M6?!

I can't imagine getting a third ///M!!! At least not without a holiday in between?!!

Ideas ?!
Maserati Granturismo: Bad interior and very bad 6 speed automatic and 9 year old design!
R8: Less practical and no rear seat for kids! And don't want to spend close to 150K to get 2014 to get S tonic !! As before that bad transmission !!
Jag: Bad interior and impractical too

What am I missing ?!

Ferrari Calfornia can technically have kids in the back But don't wanna spend 130-150K because I want a DD and I out 50 miles per day on average !!!

really pulling my hair nowadays !!
And it seems I will get 2015-2016 ///M6 vert

Don't shoot the messenger but lack of sun roof can be a flea breaker for some people and I am one of those !! Has to do with mild degree of Claustrophobia ?!!

Not a bad idea?! But worth the premium over mundane M5 ZCP 2015?! Or M6 GC ZCP?!
