Just a question to you - why does the PP matter? It doesn't necessarily mean that car is "better" - it might just mean it is faster on a certain track.
At the minute I have the Huayra / Enzo / LaFerrari / FXXK / Carrera GT / Veneno / Veyron as my options in invitation.
I don't understand why the invitation makes any difference as they can be purchased at anytime through Brand Central.

They show in brand central but you can't actually buy them without a invite.

Never knew that - very limiting from PD if that is the case.

The higher PP the car has. The more events it can join. Therefore it is more useful. I don't need PP to win races...

No no no. It's not "limiting", it's amazing game design!
Just imagine you win a nice $50million on the lottery and approach Aston Martin to buy a Valkryie and this happens...
Aston - do you have an invite?
You - no, but I have more than enough money!
Aston - but do you have an invite?
You - no...
Aston - then this car is not for you, sir.
You - how do I get an invite?
Aston - they are sent out randomly via mail to people picked at random by our random number machine.
You - do these people want an Aston Martin?
Aston - we don't know, but we do know this car is not for you, sir.
---end scene---
I think that would be an amazing real life experience, so it makes absolute total sense as to why PD chose to put it in the game!
(I'm being sarcastic, it's a dumb system)

I have the Carrera GT and LaFerrari.
The Porsche was valuable for the brand races, i don’t have any attachment to the car though (I won it) so it doesn’t give me any particular joy to drive.
LaFerrari has been one of my favorite cars in the game. I optimized it and ran it in that European series about 30 times.
Haven’t gone for the others and probably won’t. Unless I’m missing something, the HyperCars don’t have a discernible advantage. The Ferrari one looks kind of cool, but unless it can no-stop these 30 minute races (without exploiting the tuning PP) it’s not really worth it to me at this point.
I have considered the Vulcan because I just watched all of The Next Generation episodes and movies. That’s a lot of money to do an Enterprise livery though.

Buying the Enzo today for sure. Maybe the FXX-K as I remember it being a good car in the "pass all the other Ferraris at Monza" Mission.
Maybe to the Pagani and LaFerrari. If we have the invites until the end of the month, I'll wait on those.
Have about 15 mil from doing CEs and Missions, but those are drying up so can't go crazy as I wait for the 787B (and some other group C cars) to drop.

Bought all of them. The one I prefer the most is the Carrera GT which I've won in the final menu championship and bought another one after an invitation. Have one fully tuned and one stock. The fully tuned with widebody kits almost reminds of NFS MW.
The FXX K and Vulcan are too good, very few events for them. The LaFerrari is much of the same but it's a bit of a handful to drive. The Veyron and One-77 are too heavy and not that good to drive despite their high power.
The Veneno and Huayra could be a good choice, the Veneno is the most expensive of the "invite only" cars while the Huayra is one of the cheapest and you even have the chance to get it for free from Menu 39.
The more balanced cars are the Enzo, Carrera GT and the Citroen GT. They have the least PP so you can more easily downgrade or upgrade them, plus all 3 are good drives, the Carrera GT stock is a handful though, but fun.
In terms of just raw speed, the FXX K is clearly the best. But you will be hard pressed to have many events on which you will use it where you can't use other better cars.
PD should just add a HyperCar race series or championship where the likes of the LaFerrari, Veyron, P1 GTR, Veneno, FXX K, Huayra could take part on and not be out of place.
Still irks me we don't have nearly enough events to use all the cars in the game.

It’s another FOMO tactic to push credits as the invitations also expire.
They’ve taken the backlash since launch and extended expiration dates and opened up the economy so most people can actually get these.

Now you put it this way, it reminds me of the IRL system in place within the UK Porsche dealership network regarding GT series cars (GT4 and upward).
To get an "invite" to buy a 992 GT3 for example you would of had likely had to buy either a 718 GT4 / 991.2 GT3 or potentially a 992 Turbo S and maybe a facelift Macan or Cayenne for good measure on the side.
It's a horrid system for sure.
In the confines of a game, if you have grinded for the credits - why should you be refused the option to buy an in game item.

That'd be a pretty bad way to encourage FOMO and push people to buy credits, especially with the recent boost to payouts and invites now lasting 30 days instead of 14.
If invites were gifted often, with the manufacturer being picked randomly, FOMO and a push to credits would be an understandable tactic, as I'd be anticipating the invite from a manufacturer I actually want, and if I got the invite but didn't have enough credits at the time, I'd be thinking about how I'd get the credits before it expires.
But invites are random, I may never get the invite for the car I actually want, and in fact since launch I've had 1 (total) invite for a car and I couldn't actually afford at the time. So if it's FOMO and a push to get people to buy credits, PD are taking a very strange and weak approach to it.
The idea for invites is about car exclusivity. If you actually wanted to buy a halo car, they're extremely limited release and rare as hell. PD wanted to bring that into GT7, so if you go to a meeting on a track, you won't see an abundance of these cars, you'd see maybe 1 or 2, keeping them rare, much like in real life.
We now have a bunch of races that can be grinded a handful of times to make more than enough to buy a halo car. It's only the invites that stop everyone buying them and that keeps the cars rare and exclusive.

I've done some preliminary testing at Route X , max HP ,minimum weight/downforce but no changes to final gear yet.
The fastest invitation cars are:
Enzo Ferrari
Pagani Huaya
Aston Martin one-77 '11
Lambo Veneno
Bugatti veyron 16.9 '13
The FXX K is a pig, slow af compared to the rest.
The FXX K does have the highest PP but whatever...
The Bugatti has the highest HP, followed by Laferrari and FXX K
I did alot of lobby racing at Route X in GTS, so it's no surprise that the Enzo and Huaya are near the top again plus the Nissans GT- R'/Nismo and the ZR1 is new to the top 5.
I did test the Laferrari and somethings wrong.
In TT mode i cross the start line ,hit 409kph just before the hill,go up and going down the hill the car loses speed,makes no sense at all, it bottoms out at 385kph,the 1st lap is faster than the 2nd lap which again makes no sense,only car that does it.

The invites are random and exclusive cars cost just enough to push credits. The expiration date pushes you to grind or buy before it’s gone. I was grinding for the Ferrari invite before the economy patch and it vanished before the expiration date, which is why they just gave all invites now.
The backlash just made them raise payouts and I can buy every invite car now because of the tomahawk grinding. Lets me have fun. I don’t care about exclusivity or not seeing cars at a track meet. It’s a game filled with cars I’ll already never own in real life.

Being a Porsche fan I was happy to finally get the Carrera GT invitation when I had some credits to spare.
Even the salesperson Martin speaks highly and with enthusiasm of the Carrera GT. A “must have” for the Porsche fan that belongs “high on my list” to obtain. What could be better?
Too bad he didn’t tell me about the horrendous windshield glare right in the middle of my view, not to mention its distracting jaggies courtesy of PD.
2.4 mil credits out the window and I couldn’t even be granted the decency of a test drive.
Thanks Martin!
OH!
I went to the cafe to see if there was anyone willing to hear my customer service complaints about the Porsche dealership, and the only thing Freeman Thomas could find wrong is the “visually long body side”.
Apparently Freeman never drove this car.

Isn’t that exactly how Ferrari does business though?
The Veneno can win all 4 of the money races with the same basic build, that’s my vote.

I think it was VinWiki or Donut that did a video explaining that if you walk into a Ferrari dealership, they'll only sell you a new Ferrari if you've already owned a Ferrari. So Ferrari would be something like...
You - Hey, I'd like to buy a Ferrari!
Ferrari - Have you owned a Ferrari before?
You - No, but I'm here to buy one!
Ferrari - Sir, you cannot buy a Ferrari unless you've already owned a Ferrari.
You - but... I'm here to buy a Ferrari... ?
Ferrari - Sir, if you would like to buy a Ferrari you must have previously owned a Ferrari.
You - So... How do I buy a Ferrari if I've never owned a Ferrari before?
Ferrari - Have you tried Craigslist, sir?
Point is that you have to have owned a used Ferrari before they'll sell you a new one, to prove that you're a good representative of the brand. Ferrari do also have used stock that they'll sell you, that you then have to own for X amount of years before they'll sell you a new one.

I have two words for Ferrari. And those two words are not "good morning".😉

I have gotten the most use out of the Ferrari F-XX-K, but the Citroen car came along at a time when I needed it most.
