Even with its advertised 3.2-second zero-to-60 time and a top speed over 200 miles an hour, the Audi R8 is a relatively laid back and comfortable supercar. This new, redesigned version has a sharper, more chiseled look than past designs. And the car’s 7-speed transmission “seems almost telepathic,” in how it anticipates the gear shifts the driver wants, according to Robb Report. It’s also equipped with Audi’s famed Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which makes the R8 an easy car to drive fast.Despite its blistering performance capabilities — it can rocket to 60 miles an hour in under three seconds — the Robb Report’s editors see the Acura NSX as more of a grand touring car than a true sports car. (Having driven the NSX on a racetrack myself, I respectfully disagree but, hey, it’s their list, not ours.)Bentley’s new SUV is a seriously posh affair with loads of genuine leather and real wood. You can even order yours with stone veneers inside. Yes, veneers made from thin layers of actual rock. The Bentayga also happens to be — for now, at least — the fastest production SUV on Earth thanks to a 600 horsepower, 12-cylinder engine.The 750i is a big, roomy, comfortable car that can be equipped with all the latest technologies. But it’s also a BMW, so it’s still fast and rewarding to drive. The backseats are comfortable enough to make being chauffeured rewarding in its own right, though. The Executive Lounge Seating Package even adds a fold-out footrest.
