A List For The Elites And An Aspiration For Executives

If you are among the ‘one percent’ not affected by global recession then you will find this list rather relevant. However, if you are not among the lucky few then this list will appear relatively fascinating than appealing.

BMW 535d SE:
Where other lists end on Bimmers, this unique one starts from them. BMW 3 Series has shook the automotive industry with its ground breaking fuel efficiency and uncompromised performance, the bigger offering from BMW, 5 Series, is not far behind. Though the fastest model in 2012 lineup is 550i SE, which taps 0 to 60 in exact 5 seconds, it compromises on fuel efficiency, yielding 27.2 MPG. Thus 535d SE becomes a more lucrative option as its 313 BHP diesel engine can achieve 0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds while maintaining an average fuel consumption of 52.3 MPG. You will also get BMW’s top of the line equipment along with 8 speed Steptronic transmission. For this performance and efficiency be prepared to pay £44,295.

BMW 740d:
This flagship BMW touts 0 to 60 in 6.3 seconds and maintains an average ...
... of 40.3 MPG. Its 306 BHP engine is mated with 6 speed Steptronic gearbox. 740d is priced at £64,515, if you want to go a tad faster (0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds) then go with 760 Li, which will set you back a whooping £100,310, but its 544 BHP petrol engine will only yield 21.7 MPG.

Lexus LS 600h L:
Long wheel base variant of LS boasts same performance and efficiency figures as that of LS but provides more comfort to rear passengers. What will you get for a jaw dropping price tag of £90,636? Well, a 394 BHP hybrid petrol engine with 0 to 60 figure of 6.3 seconds and fuel economy of 30.4 MPG.

Audi A8 4.2 TDI Quattro:
Despite the presence of legendary German automakers, A8 stands tall and leads the pack in fuel efficiency, sporty performance and luxury. Its top of the range 4.2 litre diesel engine produces 350 BHP and boasts pavement peeling 0 to 60 figure of 5.5 seconds while maintaining 38.2 MPG. All this, for a Price tag of £68,485 with 8 speed automatic transmission makes it the car to beat in luxury sedan category.

Two Rare Top Tier, Hand Built Inductees:
For those of you who want more than luxury and performance

Bentley Mulsanne:
If you are looking for something a bit exclusive that can compete with Maybachs and Maseratis instead of Bimmers, Audis and Mercs then Bentley’s Mulsanne can be the answer you are looking for. With 505 BHP petrol V8, pushing this bulky car to 60 in 5.1 seconds, you will have to pay in access of £225,000 for this custom built empire on wheels. Not tat you would care about mileage in this head turner, but just as a heads up, it does 16.8 MPG.

Rolls Royce Ghost:
Since we have already included a custom built contender, so at this point leaving Rolls Royce Ghost out of this list would be a gross injustice. Compared to Bentley, Ghost appears as a more logical choice as it commands over £170,000 but delivers a 563 BHP BMW engine with an impressive 0 to 60 figure of 4.7 seconds while doing 15 MPG on average. There you have it, a list for the elites and an aspiration for executives.
