For a new driver like you, I believe a top speed of around 200-210km/h should be enough?

And if fuel efficiency is not a big concern, there is the Ford Lynx 2.0RS. Extremely good performance and handling, among the best in its time. Just ask Sir Niky.
The ES is boring. We had the 2.0R version of the ES (One of the first buyers).
