2017 Bentley Continental Supersports:
The new 12-cylinder Bentley Continental Supersports is essentially a rolling superlative. Not only is it the most powerful Bentley ever, with its 700-hp W-12 engine, it’s also the quickest and the fastest Bentley ever, with its maker claiming a zero-to-60-mph time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 209 mph. Those are the sorts of numbers befitting the Supersports model’s position above the GT Speed at the top of the Continental hierarchy. Compared with the Speed, the Supersports squeezes another 67 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque out of the twin-turbo 6.0-liter W-12, for totals of 700 hp and a whopping 750 lb-ft. It employs larger turbochargers making more boost and revised intercoolers, while its crankshaft and connecting-rod bearings are beefed up.

2017 Aston Martin DB11:
A new chapter in Aston Martin's history began at the 86th International Geneva Motor Show with the unveiling of the Aston Martin DB11. The first product launched under the company's 'Second Century' plan, DB11 is the bold new figurehead of the illustrious 'DB' bloodline and an authentic, dynamic sporting GT in the finest Aston Martin tradition. The Aston Martin DB11 showcases a fresh and distinctive design language, pioneering aerodynamics and is powered by a potent new in-house designed 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Built upon a new lighter, stronger, and more space efficient bonded aluminium structure, DB11 is the most powerful, most efficient and most dynamically gifted DB model in Aston Martin's history. As such, it is the most significant new Aston Martin since the introduction of the DB9 in 2003. Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andy Palmer said: "We aspire to make the most beautiful cars in the world. Aston Martin DB11 is the absolute embodiment of what an Aston Martin should be and we have worked tirelessly to ensure that DB11 combines both exceptional design with the latest technology throughout. A brand new bonded aluminium platform, clever aerodynamics, a new characterful twin-turbo V12 and class-leading infotainment systems are just a few aspects which make this the sports car that will proudly spearhead Aston Martin's second century plan." Heralding a new design era for Aston Martin, DB11 is the latest landmark in a remarkable aesthetic journey; one that gave us icons such as the DB2/4, DB5 and, most recently, the DB10 developed specifically for James Bond. Aston Martin DB11 re-imagines the relationship between form and function with a series of fresh design signatures. Foremost amongst these are the front-hinging clamshell bonnet, distinctive LED headlights and accentuated lines of the iconic Aston Martin grille. The profile is equally dramatic, thanks to the roof strakes that flow uninterrupted from A-pillar to C-pillar. The clean lines continue at the rear, with a sloping decklid that smoothly blends into boldly sculpted tail-lights to create a new and unmistakable graphic....
