Every car on the Drive Tribe fleet, reviewed from time behind the wheel on Sydney roads: what it is like to drive, what it costs to run for a weekend, which tier it sits in, the minimum driver age and the excess. Written by the person who chose each car, with the running costs and trade-offs stated plainly rather than sold. Supercars, exotics, performance cars, luxury SUVs and the lifestyle fleet, from a $150-a-day BMW X5 to a $2,600-a-day McLaren 650S.
The car that came before the Huracan: a 5.2-litre V10 with no turbochargers, all-wheel drive and a gearbox that belongs to an earlier decade. Rarer in Sydney every year, and confirmed by request rather than off a shelf.
A 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six in the middle of a two-seat roadster with a fabric roof. The purest driving car Porsche makes below a GT badge, and the cheapest way onto this tier.
The 992-generation 911 in the two Carrera trims that make sense to hire: the S and the GTS. Which one to pick, what the extra money buys, and why this is the sports car you can still take to a Monday meeting.
A 9,000rpm naturally aspirated flat-six and a wing with a drag reduction system, registered for the road. The most single-minded car on this site, and the one that asks the most of the driver in return.
Twin turbochargers, 760Nm and a three-second sprint to 100. The 488 replaced the screaming 458 with something quieter and much harder-hitting. GTB coupe or Spider, confirmed by request.
A 5.5-litre V12 in the nose, an automatic gearbox and a pair of rear seats. The quiet Ferrari, built for distance rather than lap times, and the one you can drive to Bowral without thinking about it. Confirmed by request.
The last naturally aspirated mid-engined V8 Ferrari, revving to 9,000rpm through a gearbox that finally made the car easy to live with. Italia or Spider, confirmed by request for your dates.
A naturally aspirated V8 behind your head, a cloth roof and a gearbox with a personality. Slower than every modern Ferrari and more involving than most of them. Confirmed by request.
Three very different cars under one name. The base F-Type is a pretty two-seater with a supercharged V6, the S is the same car with more of it, and the R is a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 that changes the conversation entirely.
The new C63 has a four-cylinder engine, a rear electric motor and 500kW. It is quicker than the V8 it replaced in every measurable way and sounds nothing like it. Whether that is a trade worth making is the question.
