Big engine, small car, massive attitude - the 55 has become an AMG classic.

Though hard to picture right now, with this summer feeling as far away as the last, we do love a brawny V8 roadster in the UK. So much of the early TVR appeal was in lightweight, great looking drop-tops that rumbled like little else, and it’s still possible to buy a new F-Type convertible in 2023 with the 5.0-litre AJ-V8. That’ll definitely put a smile on your face when the sun finally comes back out.

Amazingly, it was less than a decade ago that you could still buy an SLK with a V8 in it, that most traditionally charming of sports car recipes brought into sub-200g/km relevance for the 2010s. The NEDC test skewed reality here as it did in so many other instances - the official MPG was 33.6! - but the SLK was smarter than most, with cylinder deactivation for the V8 meaning better MPG and CO2 than even the least powerful V6 F-Type.
