2018 Audi RS 5 Coupé
If you’re looking for a smooth, enjoyable and refined driving experience then look no further. Audi strikes gold with its 2018 RS 5 Coupé. Featuring a twin-turbocharged V6 producing 450 horsepower, 442.5 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 174mph, you’ll certainly be going places. With high-precision RS sport suspension, the overall support and stability of the car is reinforced to reduce pitch and roll, while improving the overall handling of the vehicle. What’s more, the quattro drivetrain provides additional traction, dynamism and stability, as well as sport differential at the rear axle to actively distribute toque between the wheels. With sharp, precise looks and 0-62mph acceleration speeds in just 3.9 seconds, there’s never a reason to show up late while behind the wheel of this RS 5 Coupé.
2015 Mercedes-AMG GT S
When you first think of Mercedes-Benz, you may be drawn to the lavish luxury the brand is renowned for. But with the company’s recent dominance in Formula One, it’s clear Mercedes can do performance too. But what about both? Mercedes’ AMG GT S balances the two disciplines, with equal doses of F1-like speed and luxury. Under the AMG GT S’s sleek hood sits a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing more than 500 horsepower. That’s enough boosted motor to pull competitive laps at any racetrack and hit 193mph flat out, complimented by a leather-lined interior befit for autobahn blasts. Bordering on supercar, but still competing with other top models from Germany, the AMG GT S is exactly what you’d expect from Mercedes: the pinnacle of performance and luxury. Be ready to get the most out of this sophisticated German engineered machine.
