I just read a review of the 2016 Huracan Spyder. This these two paragraphs describe how I feel about high performance sport cars.
"This thing was not meant to spend its life cruising South Beach, soggy or otherwise. Tolerant though it may be of low-speed crawling, it wants you to rev its free-breathing V10 to the sky and experience the perception-warping thrill of Vmax.
Maybe that's the curse of owning a daily-drivable supercar, or super-sports car, or whatever something low and wide with 600-plus hp and all-wheel drive is considered these days: Unless you're behind the wheel purely to bask in the adoration of exotic car-hungry plebs, you're reduced to living for the occasional track day, or a few miles on your favorite quiet backroad, or a blessed break in the traffic on an unpatrolled stretch of I-95."

Maybe replacing a 475hp car with a 600hp car is the wrong idea. Recently did a 1 hour "cruise" with some Lotus guys. We decided to go slow. Yet I redlined the car in 1st and 2nd gear over and over. 3rd gear a few times too (that gear tops at 80mph or so). You cannot do that with a 600hp Lambo. As for cornering, all these cars are too capable to push on the street. You'd need to buy a classic to have interesting handling day to day. Bringing this thread back to full circle, this is part of the point of the 911R over a GT3. More exploitable in the street.
As I mentioned before, you need something less objectively capable.
Finally, no sports car in history has ever been fun in traffic, so that's not a solvable problem IMO.
