Vivid Red looks so good!
This is like Spicy > Fire > Inferno
Man so jealous of that gt4rs. It’s gorgeous and I’m sure a blast to drive.

2010 599 HGTE Rosso Fuoco
Considering how rare and special the 812 GTS and DBS is, I started looking at 599's to have a V12 that was perhaps not as precious/irreplaceable. Considering the value proposition and that I absolutely love my other performance cars of the era is seemed a no-brainer. Ended up down a rabbit hole and settling on the 599 HGTE, with less than 400 built (and who knows how few in Rosso Fuoco), it's by far my most rare now
. The engine is a transplant from the Enzo, and with the 3rd Cat delete, is very much a part of the experience. It's a different kind of V12 sound, more of an old-school V12 then the other two. Engaging and tons of fun, can't stop driving it.2024 Urus S
Urus wasn't on my radar until we did a Lambo ice driving event last February. Responsive, fun, sounds great and feels special. All the exotics are in hibernation half the year due to our harsh winters, so this gives me something fun for the winter. Was lucky to get one of the last allocations before they went hybrid. We did the La Prima experience at the factory, incredibly special and highly recommended.

Vivid Red was never one of my first choices, but having seen several photos, I am quickly changing my mind.

How would you describe the differences and similarities among these?
A few more pics here…Vivid Red was never one of my first choices, but having seen several photos, I am quickly changing my mind.
@vividredlotus
All of them or just the Golf R vs GT4RS?

I was referring to the three cars in the pic. Emira, Cayman, GR86.
'25 Emira for light, manual, mid-engine fun... and that little sense of danger on whether today's the day it, or the manufacturer, might leave you stranded. But just LOOK at it! 
My Emira is the supermodel girlfriend you're sure can't last, but boy is she fun while it does!
'24 Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, for hauling lots of crap, EV commuting, front-engined V8 rumble, and 730HP of performance SUV that can take a corner fast, which I didn't know could be a thing.
'25 911 Carrera (992.2), the car that turned me into a "car guy". Rear-engined German perfection. Everything you've ever heard about it is true.
I just upgraded the 911 to the '25 911 4WD GTS (yes, same colors inside & out). Insane 'performance hybrid' tech. No EV range, just a battery to torque fill and go stupid fast. 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. But 400 pounds heavier than the base 911, more "planted" with 11cm lower engine. 4WD gives you more of a "magic carpet ride" or "teleporting" feeling rather than being shoved in the back, and so powerful it sounds quiet and bored most of the time. Unless you stomp on it - it can get loud. I absolutely love it as my daily and it is THE sports car for poor weather and wet roads. But I take the Emira now for backroads fun. The 4GTS is proof-positive a car can be TOO good at everything. No danger feeling even at dangerous speeds. "Ze Germans have determined you vill screw up zis corner zerfore ve vill handle it for you.. Klaus, engage ze torque vectoring, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, stability und traction control, forward radar, lane centering, navigational road look-ahead, wet mode acoustic wheel well sensor und throttle mapping, lane keeping azist, und ze coffee break reminder. Ze American is attempting to drive poorly, again..."
After 30 years of owning automatics and thinking I'd evolved from the stickshifts of my youth because I can drink a coffee while driving, the Emira reminded me of the joys of driving a manual transmission, and is my first ever "light" car. But let's face it, the Emira V6 shifter sucks. It had me pining for what a near-perfect German manual 911 would be like, so... I just ordered a '25 911 Carrera T 6-speed manual:
... I may have a car problem. I should probably see a therapist about it, but I have no money left after all these cars.
