It’s probably down to what brings you joy in life. If laying on the beach, drinking cocktails is what give you happiness: yeah, don’t bother trying to buy a Ferrari 296, because it won’t be worth it.
But if you’re a really hardcore car person, and absolutely love the thrill of driving a fast car that handles unbelievably well, cars like the Huracán totally live up to the lofty aspirations you give it. Sure, you’ll have a lot of fun in a Toyota GR-86 (even more if you’ve modified it), but there’s a reason the Nismo GT-R costs over five times the price. It’s phenomenal.
All of this is moot if you don’t like cars, though. I think expensive watches are a waste of money, but I’d never say that to someone who (for whatever reason) likes them. To each their own, and all that jazz.
I fucking love cars. Some I can afford on an IT salary. Some I can’t. The Huracán is one. Or a Ferrari 250 GTO (maybe if I drop Netflix /s). I think you need to be a surgeon, business owner, high zoot lawyer, something like that-- like half a mil or more a year – to be thinking about a Huracán starting north of $212k. Or maybe I just don’t like to go into massive debt lol. Honestly I’d be ecstatic to own a restored 70-72 Firebird. Can’t really justify it, I don’t think.
The idea that there’s people in the world for whom a Huracán is an impulse buy that wouldn’t substantially affect their wealth is kind of mind-blowing when many, many folks (in America) can only afford a clapped out shitbox. And probably billions can’t afford a rusted bicycle.

As a BRZ owner I feel attacked
Material stuff doesn’t make one happy, it is nothing but a distraction.
