The 2016 Rolls-Royce Wraith revels in its outsized price and heft Review The 2016 Rolls-Royce Wraith deftly blends modern technology with traditional craftsmanship in a stylish coupe that makes no excuses for its lavish excess. Just over a decade ago designer Marek Djordjevic established a new design vocabulary for Rolls-Royce, and the Wraith shares its elegantly muscular look with stablemates such as the Ghost sedan and forthcoming Dawn convertible. It's defined by rectangular headlights on either side of a simple-but-bold grille, slab sides, and a bluff, neatly sculpted tail. The design lends itself to the two-tone paint schemes used by Rolls-Royce for most of its history. There isn't much precedent, however, for the Wraith's fastback styling—sportier coachwork usually graced Bentleys—but the retro-inspired slope looks good from most angles. the Wraith is built on a variant of the BMW 7-Series platform,exactly like the Ghost.A 6.6-liter twin...
G550, G63 & G65 Introduction The 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the only vehicle sold today that successfully spans the cultural chasm between Beirut and the Sunset Strip. The "G-Wagen," as it's popularly known, serves civilian owners worldwide, has seen military use on six continents and once won the Dakar Rally. To say it's versatile is a wild understatement. It's also an icon of prosperity that's perhaps uniquely resistant to rational analysis. this SUV proffers healthy helpings of leather-wrapped luxury and incongruously contemporary engineering. It's square, it's heavy, it steers and rides like the decades-old military vehicle that it is and people love it anyway. The G is hilariously overpowered, particularly the new AMG G65 trim with its bonkers V12 engine, and it's fitted with every amenity and convenience that Mercedes could find a place for. It's all about excess, you might say, which gives it an unapologetically app...
The RS7 2016 audi Review this ultimate, 605-horsepower RS7 nearly doubles the price of a standard A7. It’s also 20 grand beyond the 560-horsepower RS7. Some Audi fans would call that outrageous, and they’d be right. But an RS7 buyer can likewise turn the VW-family comparison around and point instead to the Bentley Continental GT V8 S: that car has 84 fewer horsepower that the Audi's 521 horses despite starting with the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 and Quattro AWD system. The Conti is less technically advanced than the RS7, as it doesn't come with the Audi's snazzy MMI infotainment system and semi-autonomous driving functions. The nearly 5,200-pound Bentley weighs about 700 pounds more, and the Audi's performance will kick its British ass into the next empire. the Audi’s cabin is no slouch either, gloriously bedecked in aluminum, carbon fiber, and hex-patterned leather sport seats. (It has to be the most inspired use of silver-and-black since the Oakland Raiders...
