Howard depending on the age (new/pre-used)the slightly previous model had a JCW Estate (not jacked up) which was the M140i drivetrain I think? 2L Turbo 306hp, 4WD and good auto/override box. You could potter or plant it. Do consider how long the licence might last though, it picked up speed very quickly. It was very interactive which I think is whats being discussed here. It is getting harder to find anything that will not turn into an overprotective cotton wool ball if you try to do anything near the edge of the envelope even at low speeds.
When I swapped out the last AMG (ML63) for something new a while back I tried a few cars but ended up going back to a slightly older S212 shape (2016) AMG E63 estate as it let me play a bit before nanny wagged her finger. It is two wheel drive with quite good manual override on the gearbox, traction and power modes. You can tweak it to get more torque low down so traction can be more easily defeated making the driving way more interactive.
The newer 4WD S213 is just a small nuke that means if you do want a squeak from a tyre you will be doing highly illegal speeds and make a huge hole if something unplanned occurs.
In the recent wet and quite slippery weather it is way more fun to have a little tyre slip/spin at low speed and be involved, exactly as you say. You are actually driving.
Mind you tyres are expensive.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
