Best in class9/10Mercedes-BenzS-Class£72,670 – £187,135Rivals are closer than ever, but S-Class remains our favourite luxo-barge. For now
9/10Rolls-RoyceDrophead£349,256The world's best luxury car in convertible form. Does it work? Yes, if you're happy being the centre of attention everywhere you go...
9/10FerrariGTC4Lusso£230,430A very compelling GT, now even more so thanks to a hefty facelift. Not at all brash.
9/10Rolls-RoycePhantom£320,120 – £373,688Nothing in life is perfect but the Phantom gets close. An imperious, impeccably engineered automotive experience.
9/10AlpineA110£46,645 – £51,545A terrific car, a genuine exponent of light weight and something pleasingly different to drive
9/10AudiR8£119,085 – £147,765The most everyday of the everyday supercars. With a screaming, naturally-aspirated V10. Good.
9/10BMWM2 Competition£49,160 – £51,805It really does tick a whole lot of boxes. You know you want one.
8/10Rolls-RoyceGhost£225,368 – £260,768A Rolls-Royce for our more economically aware times. Yeah right...
8/10ToyotaGT86£22,760 – £31,660The simplest and most exciting Toyota in years is also a real pleasure to drive
8/10Rolls-RoycePhantom Coupe£349,256The most exclusive, awe-inspiring coupe ever? The Phantom Coupe is right up there…
8/10Mercedes-BenzC-Class Coupe£35,025 – £78,803A coupe that majors on comfort and luxury. Unless you go for the C63 AMG, in which case it's NUTS
8/10Rolls-RoyceWraith£251,240 – £288,410A rapid coupe that's unlike any other car on the planet. Uniquely weird, easy to fall in love with
8/10Aston MartinRapide S£150,694 – £153,194It might not add a great deal more space, but it's hard not to love this four-door Aston.
8/10BentleyMulsanne£229,360 – £288,345More fun to drive than the Rolls Phantom, the Mulsanne is brilliant, so long as you’re on the inside.
8/10Mercedes-BenzS-Class Coupe£104,060 – £188,760Great looking, stuffed with tech, implausibly fast. A private jet for the road
8/10Aston MartinVantage£120,900This thing feels properly sorted first time, fresh out of the box. It sounds epic and looks fabulous
8/10LexusLC£74,470 – £88,520Bold and beautiful: the Lexus LC is the maddest Lexus since the LFA, and backs it up with impressive dynamics for a heavy car… so long as you buy the V8, not the hybrid.
8/10Mercedes-BenzCLS£52,530 – £82,825Same waft, just with added style. A fine long-distance GT, if ever there was one.
8/10BMW7 Series£63,690 – £84,790Packed full of tech and beautifully made, but the S-Class is still better.
