BMW 3 Series (E90)

BMWs have always felt a bit special, but the 3 Series offers sharper handling, a more refined drive and better performance - especially the sporty M3 model. And now that the 318i has more power, there's not a bad one in the pack. Don't be frightened to try a diesel - they outclass the petrol models and the 330 are the best one out there. Combining sleek looks with a great drive and one of the most comfortable cabins in the world, the 3 Series is equally inspiring to both passengers and drivers. The success story continues.

Ferrari Enzo

The Enzo Ferrari is a 12 cylinder mid-engine berlinetta named after the company's founder, Enzo Ferrari. It is currently one of the most powerful naturally aspirated production cars in the world. It was built in 2003 using Formula One technology, such as a carbon-fibre body, F1-style sequential shift transmission, and Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite disc brakes. Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics and traction control. After a downforce of 775 kg (1709 lb) is reached at 300 km/h (186 mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce.
