Best sports car for a family of five?

I am looking for a high performance car that can fit a young family of five (that means 1 car seat and two boosters). It must boast good performance and handling. I am open to sports saloons and perhaps 4x4s. What do you recommend?

You could probably get a BMW M5 converted with a standard 5-Series back seat.

There's the high power 510PS Mercedes Benz C63 AMG estate.

Obviously an AMG63 of new E Class coming.

But the less powerful E430 4-matic reads like a really good car on paper.

An then there's the 380PS Jaguar F-Pace, which is a proper 5-seater. Handles better but isn'ty as powerful as the RR Sport SVR: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/jaguar/jaguar-f-pa.../
