Alternatively:

Doing the LTS and upgrading both SPADA for the Spadaconcept Supercar Showcase is a cheaper net spend than just buying the SPADA Codatronca Barchetta at showcase discount. A real no-brainer.

I'm sure someone will come back with a reason not to do this but it will be as hairbrained at the "it's cheaper to skip" schemes.

I've no idea where you got over 300 for the SPADA Codatronca Barchetta, it only costs 345 to fully upgrade.

The Chevrolet Camaro SS (2017) will only cost 97 to win for a 20 reward, so a net cost of 77.

The Aston Martin Vantage GTE (2017) will cost up to 423 to win for an 80 reward. This car is almost useless in the game and only relevant if you want a full garage or 100% completion (it's only needed for the showcase events in GTE-Pro: Aston Martin and Porsche) and probably won't need any upgrades to do them.

Personally, I'd get the SPADA Codatronca Barchetta and the Chevrolet Camaro SS (2017) and only get the Aston Martin Vantage GTE (2017) if you can afford it.
