2004 Lamborghini Gallardo, €129,950
The gorgeous Lamborghini Gallardo is a proper two-seat sports car, which is buckets of fun to drive. One of the best things about this baby Lambo is the glorious sound of the 5.0-litre V10 engine. Revving this thing sends tingles all the way through your body to the pleasure zones in your brain.
The Midas pearl yellow exterior and interior with two-tone Nero and Giallo leather perfectly match the engine in terms of loudness, and that is exactly what you want from an Italian supercar, right?

2018 Fiat 124 Spider, €33,145
The Fiat 124 Spider shares its name and some of its styling inspiration with the original 1960s, model and a nod to this can be seen in the nose of the new roadster with the positioning of the LED headlamps and the hexagonal upper grille.
The bonnet takes inspiration cues from the 1969 second-gen 124 Spider with the twin power domes. This is the Classica version which comes well-equipped as standard.
