For a first time on a circuit, choose the car that tells you the most about what it is doing. That is a Porsche 911 GT3 or GT3 RS. Choose the Ferrari for power and drama with a safety net, and the Lamborghini for the V12.
In short: The Porsche 911 GT3 is the easiest to learn in. The GT3 RS adds grip and sharper responses. The Ferrari F8 Tributo adds turbo power and clever electronics. The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is the loudest and most dramatic, and a single VIP seat. Your coach will help you choose.

Porsche 911 GT3 (992): the best place to start
A 4.0-liter flat six that revs to 9,000 rpm, with no turbos, so the power arrives exactly when you ask for it. The steering and the seat tell you what the tires are doing. It forgives small mistakes and rewards good habits, which is why coaches like to start people here.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991): the analog one
More grip, a big fixed wing and a chassis built like a race car's. It asks a little more of you than the GT3 and gives more back. Choose it if you have driven on a circuit before, or you learn quickly.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992): downforce
The most extreme 911 for the road, with active aerodynamics and a drag reduction system. The downforce lets you carry speed through fast corners that feels impossible at first. Choose it to learn what aerodynamic grip does.
Ferrari F8 Tributo: power with a safety net
A 710 hp twin-turbo V8 in the middle of the car. It is the fastest in a straight line of the Porsche and Ferrari options, and its electronics help you place it and even slide it with control. Choose it for the Ferrari feeling and the push out of every corner.
Lamborghini Aventador SVJ: the V12
770 hp from a naturally aspirated V12, all-wheel drive, and a noise you will remember. It is the single VIP seat at each event. Choose it for the occasion.

V12, flat six or V8 bi-turbo
Part of the choice is the sound. The flat six howls to 9,000 rpm. The V8 punches. The V12 fills the valley. Choose your symphony.
