. As we mentioned before: “The Continental’s opulent design, impeccable build quality, and sybaritic comfort are matched by abundant power and athletic handling dynamics, especially in the S version.”
And just in time for the model’s 60th anniversary celebrations, there’s the nearly $300,000, limited-edition 911 S/T. Only 1,963 of these super-lightweight, carbon-fiber-body-paneled, stick-shift projectiles will be built, featuring the high-revving, 518 hp flat-six from the GT3 RS.It would have made more sound business sense for Rolls-Royce to base its first all-electric model on a Cullinan-style SUV, or a Phantom or Ghost sedan.
Despite the badge, the DB12 won’t come with Aston’s venerable 12-cylinder engine. Instead, its Mercedes-AMG-sourced twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 gets a boost in output to 671 hp, up from the DB11 V-8’s 528 hp. The power-train configuration also lowers the zero-to-60 mph acceleration metric to just 3.5 seconds. See it on the street and there’s no mistaking this new coupe for anything but an Aston, with its larger front grille, its swept-back headlights, and glorious and sculpted DBS-inspired lines..
Take your pick from the 840i, with its 335 hp, turbocharged inline-six, or the M850i xDrive with its 523 hp, 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8. But for the top-tier 8 Series experience, it’s the hardcore 617 hp M8 Competition Coupe that’s guaranteed to jack your pulse rate. This track-ready bruiser comes with all the M-for-Motorsport technology, like adaptive suspension, active M differential, and M-tuned xDrive all-wheel drive.
