A few things to think about with true exotic car ownership.
1. Servicing. Do you live near a Lambo dealer or someone who can really service this car. If not, servicing may be a real PITA.
2. Parts. Again, if you need parts, it could be a significant wait at times. Are you the kind of person who has patience for this, or not?
3. Cost of ownership. Be sure you are prepared for the cost of parts, labor, and insurance. Even if you can afford it in an absolute sense, is it worth the money?
4. How much are you going to drive it? Most cars in this class are pure toys and spend a lot of time resting in garages. As such, they require very little actual maintenance. Is this going to be case or not?
Anyway...all just things to think about. If I was in your boat, I would likely go a Porsche 911 turbo S. Mind blowing performance, plus all the class and refinement, and it won't be a total PITA to actually own.
