German engineering at its finest
Mercedes-Benz are the kings of German car engineering hands down. Although Mercedes-Benz cars have always been the choice for older people and not the young individuals. Maybe that's because many young people cannot afford a car like a Mercedes and stick to their Vauxhall Corsa.
BMW on the other hand is the preferred choice of German vehicles for youngsters that are looking for a better car. This is excluding VW of course, we are talking about luxury German cars not standard. BMW's cars are and always will be the most fun cars to drive, simply because the back-end of the car can slide out at any time you want it too. However, it can be dangerous unless you know how to handle all that power going to the rear wheels.
AUDI create the most beautiful cars ever to hit the streets, blows BMW out of the water and Mercedes are now climbing back up the ladder. Audi's reputation in the late 90's and early 00's was not great, with their gearboxes basically made out of cardboard and always breaking down. Fast forward to 2016... Everyone wants an AUDI now (and they fixed the gearbox issues)
For those who can are interested in a nice, fierce cars like a Mercedes, BMW or Audi... then look at some of these brand new models that the German's have made;

| An all rounder perfect car in my opinion. A beautiful two-door, four-seat variant of the S-Class,Initially available as an S 63 AMG with a 5.5-litre biturbo V8 and 582bhp, there’s also an S 65 with a twin-turbo 6.0-litre V12 and 621bhp, followed by a 4.6-litre S 500 equipped with another biturbo V8 with 450bhp in early 2015. Suffice to say, these isn’t a weak S-Class Coupe. At over five metres long and two wide, this isn’t a small car. But programmable air-suspension helps keep everything as taut as the slick looks suggest, and if you tick the right boxes, Mercedes’ Magic Body Control with Curve Tilting Function will actually lean the S Coupe into corners like a motorbike.   |
Beautiful isn't she? Here we have the 2016 model of the Bmw i8 ( i stands for electric? ) This is BMW's first hybrid car and it also has a baby brother which is the Bmw i3 you can see pictures further on the post.
The engine is a tiny 1.5-litre turbo three-cylinder, mounted transversely ahead of the rear wheels. Tiny, but mighty: it produces 231bhp. There’s a 131bhp electric motor up front and a big plug-in electric battery to give it serious potency. You’d almost never believe it was an eco-chomping hybrid, doing an amazing impression of a 340bhp straight six rather than a little turbo triple. It doesn’t quite feel 911-fast, despite a 4.4-second 0-62mph time, because high-rev drama and violence is lacking.
All things considered, the post-grant list price of £96k is an absolute bargain. This is a supercar from the future that out-headturns a Ferrari and is more appealing to drive and own than an Audi R8. You can even drive it for 15 miles on electric power alone; the official figures are 113mpg and 49g/km CO2 making it the most tax-efficient supercar in the world too.

So this is the baby-brother... pretty cute huh?   so guys, you tell me... is that just so pleasing on the eye or what? Everything about it is designed to perfection. Talk about looks - Audi has it all FULL STOP! It is not a quiet one either here are the specs; A smooth 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 in the RS7 Performance produces a robust 605 horsepower, just five fewer than the 5.2-liter V-10 in the blazing-fast R8 supercar, as a matter of fact. Zero to 60 done in a fast 3.3 seconds.The price is tempting too, at £83,495 for the standard model. That’s considerably less than many of its rivals. The catch, however, is that the options rapidly crank the price up.
