Baseado num artigo do site Automobile. Deixo aqui uns excertos para vos clarificar a mente.

Aston Martin Vanquish S

"We had been wondering why anyone would want a Vanquish now that the DB9 is here, but experiencing the two side-by-side helped us understand that the Vanquish has more substance and presence, not to mention a roomier cabin, and it oozes elegance and desirability that much more than the very elegant and desirable DB9. It's also the fastest production Aston Martin ever built, with a top speed of more than 200 mph. Tell us no more."

Lamborghini Murcielago descapotável

"What's striking is how much the reality parallels the dream. The scissor doors, the deep iridescent yellow paint, the gun-slit visibility, the hell-unleashed sound, the awesome acceleration (0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds), the ludicrous top speed (200 mph), and the massive 335-series rear tires add up to one mighty fine real-life fantasy."

Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

"For those of us whose idea of driving nirvana is to probe deeply into triple-digit territory on a long, straight stretch of Nevada desert road, the SL65's endless, locomotive-like acceleration from 120 mph onward is utterly addictive. This powertrain doesn't make Ferrari-style music; instead, the V-12's furious power and torque create a hurricane under the car that you feel churning beneath you on its way to the rear axle."

Aston Martin DB9

"It's the most beautiful car on the road, a romantic vision of speed and beauty that grabs your heart every time you see it. But for all that, this is a tough car under its aluminum skin. The 450-hp, 5.9-liter V-12 comes to life like a Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 in an old Spitfire fighter plane, barking through its exhausts."

Bentley Continental GT

"Critics carp that the Bentley is just a Volkswagen in fancier duds. Well, yeah, the Continental shares much of its chassis and drivetrain with the Phaeton. And, in fact, the W-12-two VR6s bolted together at a 72-degree angle-is found in both the VW and the Audi A8. But the Bentley gets a twin set of turbochargers and intercoolers, providing the oomph for 0-to-60-mph times of 4.7 seconds and a top speed that's almost quick enough to get you into the 200-mph club."

Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

"The 612 is the most practical of Ferraris-flawlessly engineered, infinitely capable, and, well, with its two-plus-two seating and capacious dimensions, the family Ferrari. And while its name pays homage to the marque's longtime coachbuilder, our "Grigio Ingrid" (beige) Scaglietti is also the Ferrari most likely to be lost in a parking lot."

Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG

"Select the 6.0-liter overhead-cam engine of your choice. Have it assembled by one of the conscientious craftsmen employed at Mercedes-Benz's AMG. Then fill the cylinders with 22 psi of air at a comfortable temperature. Wonderful things are bound to happen whether there are two or twelve cylinders hammering the crankshaft into submission. Your rear tires will melt on cue. The automatic transmission will grunt like a weight lifter and change gears with a bang, struggling to survive behind the most potent engine offered across a regular retail counter. The 100-mph acceleration will stretch neck muscles with the same vigor as a traction-limited launch from a stoplight."

Audi A8 W12 Quattro

"This Audi A8L carries W12 badges on the grille, trunk lid, and passenger doors to distinguish it from the déclassé V-8 model. But, paradoxically, the top-of-the-line A8 is so serene at its electronically limited top speed of 130 mph that you could swear it's powered by a turbine-or a flux capacitor."

BMW 760i

"Whistling through California's Ibex Pass at 2100 feet and 150-plus mph, a click-turn-click of the iDrive mouse commands the in-dash display to report instantaneous fuel mileage. The 6.0-mpg reading at this velocity and the cloud-like ride suggest a biz-jet trip, but the reality is that we're piloting a BMW 760i confidently in touch with its aviation roots."

Volkswagen Phaeton W12

"Just like a locomotive, the Phaeton is nearly effortless at speed. The 420-hp W-12 engine delivers its power without drama, simply winding up like a giant electric motor. You never really notice it. There's no artificiality in the Phaeton, no image or fake personality. It's all car, no hype. No wonder that those who are more comfortable with brand-speak and marketing messages just don't get it."

Maybach 57

"As much as it makes your heart swell to feel the Maybach's 543-hp, twin-turbo-charged, 5.5-liter V-12 engine (which shares a block with the V-12s from Mercedes-Benz) rush straight to 60 mph from a dead stop in just over five seconds, you will be shocked to feel it roar straight to 155 mph with equal abandon. And with passengers."

Rolls Royce Phantom

"Though not a locomotive like the Maybach, the Phantom's ride and handling are more buttoned down than we have a right to expect. Not knowing any better, BMW's high command saw fit to develop great, responsive steering and equally competent brakes that instill the confidence necessary to blow right through to triple-digit speeds."
