Chrysler 300C SRT-8

This rampaging bull of a motor car has a full-fat 6.1-litre V8 engine that snorts out 425bhp and all for just £39,040.

With a 168mph top end and 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds, the SRT-8 has the sort of performance to worry the BMW M5 for less than two-thirds of the BMW's price.

Go for American Hemi V8 over German V10 and you get 20in alloy wheels as standard and twin rear exhaust large enough for children to use as shelter from the rain.

The front end has new lower bumper to incorporate a drag- and lift-reducing lower apron, while new vents help keep that monster V8 cool.

Behind the 20in alloys are Brembo brakes and suspension that has been lowered and tempered for improved handling.

The interior has more huggy hips seats and a few SRT-8 styling cues to remind you just what lurks under the bonnet.

If you've got a big enough appetite, the Chrysler 300C SRT-8 is on sale now.
