Sporty 4-doors

[Sir_Crashalot]

Buy a stock Mercedes C-class. Plenty of room in there. Take it to your nearest tuning center and have a Brabus Engine kit fitted with a decent set of shocks, rims and tyres. Finished. 530hp for half the money of the cars you suggested....

Why not a 2010 Saab 9-5? 300HP v6, just short of 1600kg total weight

Bugatti has revealed their Galibier. The engine is still 8 l W16, but it is derated to 800 horses by replacing Veyron

I really don't quite understand why Bugatti bothered with the Veyron and now why they are making this thing.


It is a rich person's car, but I don't think it is a smart person's one.

At some point, everybody and their dog was planning sporty 4-doors.

Is Aston Martin Rapide still going forward?

Seems it is.

But the specifications are worrying.

502 cm long - but 136 cm high.

A photo they show:

But this does not quite clarify the amount of headroom - and Panamera, 6 cm higher, has been critizised for poor headroom.

Numbers do matter, except for dwarves maybe.
