How about a Nobel M12 GTO?
They are around the 45k you will be getting a car that really holds its value and possably one of the best handling/performance cars for under 100k

If you get a chance have a look at the new AutoCar with the Enzo on the front!!

New XJR v RS6 v AMG E55 v M5......and the winner is!!!!

Consider the new Audi S4 as well - 344bhp from a 4.2 V8 is only slightly less than the RS4 but without the turbos, and it doesn't bend its wheels.

But I'd have the 996 - I wouldn't have given it a second glance until I drove one but it is by far the nicest car to drive I have ever tried. Make sure it's a C2, manual, coupe though.

Oh, just in case you haven't tried one, or they're off your radar - try an Exige too because they handle beautifully and give something completely different to a large, heavier car like the German ones you mention.

If you can wait, this looks tasty:

You could also try looking at an RX8 a good looking car and 237bhp from that 1.3ltr wankel engine, will turn heads too me thinks
