Top 5 Luxury Cars
Posted on 10. Sep, 2011 by admin in General
While most people looking to buy a car from sources such as www.motors.co.uk or elsewhere will not be looking at luxury cars, they remain a source of fascination for car lovers – but which cars are rated the top luxury models?
The Maybach 62
Around six feet longer than the S-Class Mercedes, which ensures that it has huge amounts of internal space, both in the front and back. In addition, it covers roads – even the bumpiest ones – as if it were gliding above them; although combined with its size, this makes it unsuitable for high speed driving. Furthermore, the features are customised to fit individual requirements.
Rolls Royce Phantom
Provides a combination of performance, size and comfort that knocks spots off even fine cars like the Maybach. For a vehicle of such weight and size it has brilliant steering and the legendary Rolls Royce engine ensures superb performance levels. The Phantom can also match the unique customised features offered by the Maybach.
Bentley Continental Flying Spur
Currently rated the fastest saloon car in the world, with a maximum speed capability of 200 mph, it is also rated the finest luxury saloon car in terms of performance – carrying a 552bhp 6.0-litre W12 engine. This enables it to achieve speeds unheard of for large cars.
Jaguar XJ
Stands out within the Jaguar X range as it has a more distinguished look than the XF and XK, and provides one of the smoothest, quietest rides imaginable, practically eliminating engine feedback noise. The XJ is also equipped with a wealth of high tech luxuries, including LCD screens and graphics.
Aston Martin Rapide
This is probably the most attractive saloon car, with smooth appearance, instantly recognisable headlights and wide grille. On the negative side it is less spacious inside than the Rolls Royce or Maybach, but is brilliantly designed. It is created for cruising rather than powerful performance, with V12 6.0-litre engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
