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

IN Maserati, Quattroporte, GranLusso, Maserati Quattroporte GranLusso, V6, 3.0-litre, Maserati Quattroporte V6, Luxury Sedan, Trident, Tridente Automobili, 2017

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


Powered mainly by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, that on its own, pushes out a decent 181 bhp and 290 Nm of torque. But coupled with the huge battery that sits under the rear boot, the combined power output is a rather heady 252 bhp and a cumulative torque figure of 420 Nm. This enables the hybrid 3-Series to hit 100 km/h from standstill in 6.1 seconds and propels it to a 225 km/h top speed.

BMW 330e iPerformance | Electrifying

We test the first model in BMW’s performance range - the 330e packs some hybrid punch while retaining its 3-Series drive characteristics


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.

What looks like an SUV but acts like a hot-hatch? This one…


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…

With an additional 40 horsepower squeezed from the twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6, the Macan Turbo Performance Package whacks out 440 bhp and 600 Nm of torque. Making this one quick SUV. 0-100 km/h flies in at 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 272 km/h means a rocket-ship ride for daddy and all onboard.

1. Who, or what started you on karting? I’ve always loved racing, when I went for F1 here a couple of times, I realized that it was one of my dreams, so I researched on what we could do to get there - that’s what got me into it and I’ve loved it ever since.

7. Do the daytime-style floodlights help you, or are they of no help? (Daniel) I don’t think it changes (the situation) too much — the lighting’s pretty good; you get some darker spots but the darkness won’t ever be the cause of a crash.

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.

The sporting intent of this car is very clear, what with the glossy black center grille connecting the LED headlamps and large faux air dam at the lower part of the front bumper. Oh and for the curious, the only difference between it and the sedan brethren, face wise, is the latter getting a standard chrome center grille.
