That would be ideal for Mercedes-Benz. But unfortunately, consumers in that particular market are a unique lot; a one-size-fits-all theory doesn’t work here. Which is why there is the BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Jaguar XJ, Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide and, depending on how far you’d like to enjoy the finer things in life, Rolls-Royce’s Ghost. There are different models for different preferences.

Maserati Quattroporte GranLusso | His Royal Sportiness

Maserati's Quattroporte outshines its competitors with its sporty character - how else can it impress the $400k club?


With this 252 bhp variant (the base model gets 190 bhp), Quattro is standard. The lovely new chassis platform known as 'MLB-Evo chassis' yields a car that is lighter, more playful and nimble on the road. Steering inputs are precisely executed and while a little on the light side, never feels vague. I’d dare say the combination of a strong power output and sublime handling almost makes this A5 quite S5-like! I enjoyed driving it more than I did the 3.0-litre S4.

The second generation A5 is even better before. Based on Audi’s MLB-Evo chassis, the new car is both great to drive and practical to boot!


Front bumper with extra large air intakes? Lovely. Bulges on the bonnet? Aggressive. Pronounced shoulder lines and wide wheel arches at every corner? Striking, yes. Detailed rear bumper for better aerodynamics? Good for warning clueless tailgaters. Four exhaust tips? Means business for sure. Big wheels? Yummy…

The record was not a one-hit wonder either, as another GT2 RS piloted by Lars Kern and Nick Tandy was able to set multiple record-breaking laps before the ultimate final record time was set.

Reductionism continues inside the cabin, with switches kept to a bare minimum. In their place is JLR’s all-new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system, which mates the 10-inch screen in the usual position with another similar screen at knee level. Other physical switches — such as the steering wheel controls and climate control buttons — have all been replaced with touch-sensitive buttons for a minimalist feel.

An all-new aluminium spaceframe termed the ‘Architecture of Luxury’ underpins the New Phantom, which is 30 percent more rigid than the spaceframe architecture of the outgoing Phantom. The Architecture of Luxury was designed and engineered from the ground up to allow scalability, and will thus underpin every future Rolls-Royce model regardless of weight or propulsion.

Especially at a time like now, where every single driver looking for a large coupe has a long list of cars to choose from; namely the Germans, with the Porsche 911, BMW 6 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe to consider. People love these models simply because each of the manufacturers manage to squeeze so many goodies into their respective cars; to the point it might take you a year to read up on the instruction manual and another twelve years to actually come down to using all of the functions. And I even have some acquaintances who bought a certain car and did not even know it has a certain function until it was pointed out to them — “Oh, I didn’t know it could do that.”

That’s the thing about this Q60. It was designed and then sculpted by what must be Infiniti’s best. There is nothing for me to find fault with, ladies and gentlemen. Ok maybe, just maybe, the standard alloys deserved something else. After all, Infiniti employed Enkei’s expertise for some of their models previously — just a pity that initiative wasn’t exercised here.

Wondering how this is made possible, eh? To put it in laymen’s term (that would be easy for non-engineers - like me, even - to decipher), it begins with a new Bridgestone innovated compound that was developed at the Nano level. This compound was designed to provide almost glue-like grip when it comes into contact with water. Secondly there are the deeper grooves, which are improved over its predecessor, the EP200. Last but not least a round rib edge, which maintain the tyre’s stiffness along with providing maximum contact shape and pressure.

Moving along. The RC 200t, without any degree of doubt, is a treat to the eye all thanks to that heavily sculpted body shell. Flanked by protruding shoulder lines with flared wheel arches on all four corners, and a distinctive face all thanks to that large grill made the car look hunky especially when you see it appear in your rear-view mirror.And in this hue of red, we can’t blame you if you mistaken it for its recently launched LC 500 brother.

Classic roadster design cues are featured on the Concept Z4, such as a long wheelbase, low-slung and stretched silhouette and a compact rear end. The outline of the car follows a wedge shape, with a shorter bonnet and crisp overhangs at the front, and large domes that integrate the rollover bars stretching out rearwards — allowing the Concept Z4 to exude dynamism even when standing still.
