The 2012 Lamborghini Aventador is one of this world’s most incredible cars. Its handling capabilities are truly extraordinary, and the V12 produces the sort of thrust that once resulted in the words “the Eagle has landed.”

The 2012 Aston Martin DB9 might not be the ultimate driver’s car, but what it lacks in maximum thrills it makes up for with stunning good looks and loads of character.

The 2012 Lexus LFA is a technological tour de force that’s capable of thrilling performance. But it will be interesting to see if it can successfully command such an equally exotic asking price.

The 2012 McLaren MP4-12C is a car that inspires flattery at the highest levels. Quite simply, it is one of the best sports cars ever made. It will be an object of automotive lust for quite some time.

The 2011 Maserati GranTurismo is easily one of the most beautiful cars being built today, with high levels of performance and comfort that further its appeal.

Imagine for a moment that you’re filthy rich and desire a convertible touring car with the same presence on the road as your investment portfolio has on paper. The 2013 Bentley Continental GTC would likely top that list.

Armed with a more muscular and efficient V8 engine and a smoother, dual-clutch transmission, the 2013 BMW M5 raises the bar set by its formidable predecessors, offering bracing handling, prodigious power and improved fuel economy.

There are a few other automobiles that similarly offer an almost shameful abundance of power and luxury. Yet they lack the aura of a Rolls, an iconic brand that commands admiration from rappers to royalty. Naturally, any feature one could possibly want in a car is present in a Phantom.

The 2013 Audi S4 proves that luxury and performance can live together in one well-balanced package.

For sheer road-going perfection, few cars can match the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class.

Though it doesn’t offer the ultimate performance and handling of other exotic sports cars, the 2012 Aston Martin V12 Vantage has its own unique appeal.

Those looking for an automobile with the presence and luxury of a Rolls-Royce Phantom but with a more manageable size and acquisition cost should be pleased with the 2012 Rolls-Royce Ghost.
