2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor (Fox Racing equipped), not sure 100k would cover it @ 39k U.S, depends if they do a right hand drive.
I imagine it would excel towing the work trailer with the 6.2-liter V-8.

If it had to be on a car, , and there wasnt much interest in resale, , I would spend $10 000 on a second hand BF from a government Auction then the extra $90 000 on modifications...................

I'd be either looking at FG F6, GT-P or GT-E.
It's a hard choice from there. You have the up and go Hot Turbo, Hot V8 and the Luxury Hot V8.

for a non ford, I'd get an S5 to be honest. Hottest thing on wheels. Though at that budget, maybe an A5.

Or TTS, they are very quick. Or if you wait, a TTRS!! will do 4.6 to 100, and wont be overly thirsty...

I'd personally wait off anything ford till the Coyote makes it into production... (IMHO)...

There's a mob in QLD converting Chevy Camaros to RHD for the Australian market. I'm not sure how much they cost, but if they were around the $100k mark and I had a spare $100k.......

Otherwise, F6E.
