We all know that it is more difficult for us to win the Christmas Gordo compared to any other prize that the Lottery distributes throughout the year, but many people cannot conceive of Christmas parties without buying a tenth of this peculiar festive prize.
We, as good motor lovers, fantasize about having at some point in our lives a sports car that excites us every time we start it or hits us to the seat every time we accelerate. The El Gordo prize distributes 400.000 euros for each tenth winner, but taking into account what our friend the Treasury gets with that pinch, each member of the team will choose the sports car that would be bought with 320.000 euros, what we would really take if we won this prize .
Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid (€190.387)
Our colleague Diego Avila I would choose the quintessential F-segment coupe saloon. The Porsche Panamera hit the market in 2010 after the success in sales that the Porsche Cayenne represented for the German brand, and served to provide its range of models with more variety...because not everyone wants to buy a 911.
The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is the most powerful variant of the model. It has 680 horsepower provided by a thermal engine in V8 configuration that offers 549 horsepower and a 136 horsepower electric motor. All this power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
With an 80-litre tank and a wheelbase of almost 3 metres, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, in addition to being a full-fledged sports car, It is a comfortable sedan for long journeys. Despite being the most expensive option on the list, it is the most versatile and sensible of all.
BMW M4 CS (€133.900)
Server I would choose the BMW M4 CS as a must buy if the Christmas Jackpot prize fell into my hands. Introduced earlier this year, it's a more radical version of the "standard" M4 and a more sensible one than the M4 GTS. Let's just say that it's the perfect version if you want to go buy bread with it, but also get the most out of it on the circuit (without detracting from the normal M4, beware).
This Bavarian beast has a 6-cylinder in-line engine, a well-known configuration in BMW, turbocharged capable of granting 460 maximum horsepower with a torque of 600 Nm. The turbo, in addition to making it more jumpy at low revs, makes it more efficient to drive in off-track situations. In fact, its average consumption is only 8,4 l/100 km.
It is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3,9 seconds and to reach speeds around 280 km/h. It incorporates a 7-speed DKG automatic gearbox that sends the power produced by the engine at the front, exclusively, to the rear of the vehicle.
Tesla Model S P100D (€154.500)
A Diego Lopez he loves the electric ones, it is something that everyone in the newsroom knows and we have not been very surprised by the use that he would give to those 320.000 euros. The Tesla Model S P100D is the most powerful version produced to date by the Californian company, at least until the departure of his new Tesla Roadster.
The Model S P100D has electric motors that distribute its 612 maximum horsepower and almost 1000 Nm of torque through all four wheels. Despite a weight of more than 2.300 kilograms, something that is an exaggeration for a coupé saloon in this segment, it is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds, and moving with considerable agility.
As many of you know, in Spain we still do not have a good network of superchargers with which to do kilometers in a calm way, without having to deviate from the destination route to stop at one of them, but with the Model S P100D our colleague would have less concerns, because It has a range of 540 kilometers, enough to cover half of the peninsula with a full charge.
Alfa Romeo 4C (€66.240)
Louis Gaton, as we could see in the Subaru WRX STI video test, brings maturity and good sense to the team, adjectives that have nothing to do with his choice, the Alfa Romeo 4C. the italian sports car It is characterized by following the maxim of the creator of the famous Lotus, Colin Chapman, who advocated lighter vehicles instead of more powerful vehicles.
"Don't multiply the power, divide the weight."- Colin Chapman
The Alfa Romeo 4C has a turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine providing 241 horsepower, coupled (and perhaps this is one of its biggest drawbacks) to a 6-speed automatic gearbox that sends all that force to the rear wheels. Perhaps these figures are not impressive, but taking into account its 995 kilograms of weight, things change.
He is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4,5 seconds, and to reach 258 km/h as top speed. Thanks to its monocoque chassis made entirely of carbon fiber, its firm and hard suspensions and the location of its engine, in the rear central part, arranged transversely, the Alfa Romeo 4C behaves like any other Italian sports car, for a few reasons. How many euros less?
