Ford Mustang 2017



Some American muscles today even if it isn't really the full package. What we have here is the 2.3 litre, 4 cylinder eco-boost engine with 313bhp instead of the 5.0 V8 and its 415bhp. 0-62 takes 5.8 seconds at the top speed for this "eco-boost" is 145mph or 233km/h. It is also the first time the Mustang is available in right-hand drive.

Ferrari 488 2017




A Ferrari 488 today. The 488 is the replacement for the 458. It has a 3.9 V8 which produces 661bhp. That gives us a top speed of 205mph or 330km/h and a 0-62 time of 3.0 seconds. Love the colour combination even if I would only consider a Ferrari in blue, grey or black!

A car which is rarer and rarer to spot around, the BMW M coupe, the M version of the Z3. Under the bonnet the M coupe get a 3.2 straight 6 with 320bhp.
