These two British cars are directly targeting uncompromising sport driving enthusiasts. With their Toyota engine, modified and offered in multiple versions, this duo is very light and proposes extraordinary handling. However, if you want to achieve performance nirvana, you’ll have to be flexible enough to slide in behind the wheel and strong enough to put up with a very firm suspension. But the handling makes it all worth it...
