The P1, 918 Regera and LaFerrari are hybrids and have all been mentioned so far

I must admit I really wanted to put an 812 Superfast in the list as well but I didn't really have any car I could remove. I didn't have any other close runners up.

There are some EVs both currently in production and incoming that I like (the Audi E Tron GT Concept and Rimac come to mind), but the lack of sound makes them an automatic "no" from me. The sound is part of the enjoyment experience in my opinion. I also don't think EV cars are fully there yet - I'm not an EV owner so I can't say for sure, but it seems like they haven't fully removed the inconveniences associated with owning an electric car. I'm sure others have their reasons as well.

Even ignoring the sound, I don't think they bring anything interesting to the market yet that a normal car can't. Apart from perhaps the Rimac

I'll get started:


Mine might be a little too "practical" and modest for a dream garage, but everyone is free to do it however they want to. Possibilities are endless!
I like the Porsche and the Mustang. I would go for a AMG g wagon for a 4x4, and a AMG E63 wagon for a daily driver. Maybe a 3/4 ton Suburban for hauling stuff. And my 135 would be converted to a track car. And of course, the Ford GT as the dream car.......

For 7 vehicles, I would probably pick something from these categories.

Rugged 4x4:
Ford Raptor, Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JL, or a Land Rover D90.

Something with a brutish V8:
C7 Corvette Grand Sport, Ford GT350, or a Mercedes AMG GT C.

A grand touring V12 coupe:
Aston Martin V12 Vantage, Ferrari 550 Maranello, or a BMW 850CSi.

Inline six awesomeness:
BMW 1M, BMW M2 Competition, or a BMW Z4 M Coupe.

A practical 4-door:
Alfa Romeo Gulia Quadrifoglio, Audi S4, BMW M3, BMW M5, or a Range Rover Sport SVR.

A classic car:
Alfa Romeo GTV, BMW 3.0CSi, Datsun 240Z, Ford Mustang fastback ('60s), Jaguar E-Type coupe or a Porsche 911.

Something random:
Audi Ur Quattro, Mazda MX-5, Nissan GT-R (any generation), or a Subaru WRX STi (GD chassis).


Some of these cars could easily straddle my categories, and I'm sure there are numerous other cars I would also consider that I'm not thinking of at the moment

Yup, no practical cars for me. If I had the money and space for these cars, I can surely rent out an SUV for my practical needs.

Maybe this should be ‘7-car dream garage including enclosed storage for all 7 and a personal mechanic/detailer’

Now THIS is the discussion we need to be having.

I had four cars and two bikes last year. While it was hectic maintaining all of them and the insurance was atrocious, I wouldn't have had it any other way.

The important thing to note is that it's spread across two states (i.e. two cars, one bike in NJ; two cars, one bike in IL). Having seven in one place seems excessive.

That's about 4 cars too many for me! But if I had the money to have other people take care of the realities of owning all those cars, I'd probably have:
-e92 M3 (currently own)
-94 Corrado SLC (currently own)
-Jeep GC SRT (currently own)
-997 GT3 RS or 991 GT3 touring
-Vintage "Bullet" Mustang
-Vintage Alfa Romeo GTV (from the 70s)

If it had to be 7 cars I don't currently own:
-New Mercedes G550
-997/991 GT3 of some sort
-C7 corvette grand sport
-V8-swap Miata for track fun
-Chevy Bolt (running errands around town)
-Vintage "Bullet" Mustang

Hehe, so if we’re thread jacking, i would point out that a lot of people in this thread will be miserable with the garages they wrote down. I get that this thread is a true ‘dream’ thread with no consideration needed for practicality, different use cases, expense and effort to keep these cars on the road, etc. But i can’t help but think about it because it’s my reality. Out of all the concerns, the one that gives me the most stress day to day is actually storage. It’s a bigger constraint than cost.

Counting my wife's vehicle, the garage total is eight. None are that rare or exotic, but I have a good time playing with them. A couple of Germans, a couple of Brits, a couple of Corvettes, and a couple of pickups. While arguably not to everyone's taste, they each serve me well and climbing behind the wheel always puts a smile on my face.

That is actually a pretty cool collection of vehicles.
