They can't even get the Evora pass crash test. They are only making 311 copies of the 311 so as to avoid being a production car so they don't have to pass safety requirement.
How is that even remotely a daily driver?
As for Corvette Z whatever, well, it's always a bargain among sports cars, if you can live with a RWD daily driver. It doesn't have much cutting edge tech, but if wrapping around a big engine is your thing, Corvette is hard to beat.
OTOH, the NSX with Torque Vectoring AWD is a very high performance car that can be driven daily, including in snow! and with nimble handling that one can appreciate even at relatively normal speeds, thanks to its TV-AWD. Oh, BTW, it's a hybrid with decent gas mileage too.
