    The ultimate Supersaloon

    In the last 12 years or so, this new market for astonishingly fast saloon cars has really taken off. As a 17 year old, this is the class of car which I'd most like to own however we can only dream! Anyway, which is best. I personally love the new 500,000 euro Brabus EV12. 800bhp. More torque than a Peugeot 908 hdi or a Bugatti Veyron. 230mph. Can it get any less sane? or even better?

    M5 E39. The perfect sports saloon.

    Does cars like the Estoque, and Rapide fall into this catergory? Even the Bugatti 16C Galibier?

    Years ago there was a story in C&D or R&T that showcased a 7 liter,, purpose built NASCAR Grand National which was grafted under a Cadillac Seville. Fully serviceable as a 5 passenger saloon, but was able to cruise at 220MPH+

    The Estoque or the 16C still don't exist though.

    Any of the Quattroportes.

    I've always liked S65 AMGs but who could resist a Brabus upgrade? And I love Granges but if I had one it would be straight to Walkinshaw for a supercharger however whether it be Mercedes or HSV I'd want the engine upgrade without any body modification. These are both really powerful cars without tinkering with them and I'd just like to have that extra power kept under wraps so it's there for emergencies - and by emergencies I mean racing at the traffic lights.

    I fancy the G-Power BMW M5, good ol' twin superchargers.

    16C Galibier if permitted, barring that the Brabus EV12 or the Panamera Twin Turbo.

    I guess technically it's a two-door estate, but the DB6 Superleggera Shooting Brake would get my vote.

    Otherwise, any generation of M5.
