Five most affordable 300kW cars

Bragging rights are an important part of sports car ownership for many buyers and nothing says power quite like a figure beyond 300kW.

Although locally the VT Series II HSV GTS spearheaded relatively affordable access to a power digit beginning with ‘3’ in the late nineties, the period between 2003 and 2008 saw the real boost of models accessing that sort of power figure.

Here the rules are: cars either side of a decade old, in good and original condition (based on the classifieds ad and photos) with around 150,000km.
