  • Tuningwerk BMW 7-Series 760iL

    BMW 7-Series 760iL received a serious upgrade package from the German specialists – Tuningwerk. The long wheelbase version of the model is boosted to whopping 720PS (530 kW) and 1090Nm (804 lb-ft) of torque.

    The performance is rather impressive – 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h (218 mph). More is better, but in terms of power, but the weight has been reduced for maximum performance.

    The huge car is 120 kg lighter than the original version thanks to some carbon fiber parts including lightweight carbon-ceramic brakes and a new sport exhaust system. The total weight of the car is 2030 kg.

    The price is hefty, too. Tuningwerk BMW 7-Series 760iL costs €198 000, which is decent for such comfort and speed. This is the fastest full-size luxury car on the planet.

  • 2012 Audi S8 [rendering]

    Audi will launch S8, which will be powered by 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 supplied by Bentley. The engine produces 527PS (388 kW), which is right between the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 on the planet – 6.2 liter AMG in Mercedes-Benz S63 delivering 525PS, and the brutal 6.0 liter twin-turbo V12 in BMW 760i with astonishing 544PS.

    The new Audi S8 will feature quattro AWD system, but how this will work against the other sports limousines, which rely on RWD. BMW 760i features LSD (limited-slip differential) to deliver perfect traction in any circumstances, but the mighty S63 AMG has non-locking differential – bad mistake!

    However, the Audi S8 is expected to be launched in the United States early next year.
