2020 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe

The Aston Martin Vantage is a two-seat premium luxury sport coupe or roadster, easily recognized by James Bond fans, with the stated purpose to “overwhelm the senses with world-renowned design, agile performance, and dedicated craftsmanship.” Three-dimensional forms present an athletic stance, with rugged flanks, and wide hips highlighting agility and capability.

Part of the second generation introduced for 2019, the newest Vantage Coupe offers two standard trims and one limited edition: Base (8-speed automatic), $152,995, AMR Hero (manual), $179,995, and AMR 59 Edition, $204,995. Only 200 seven-speed manual transmission AMRs will be built, with limited exterior/ interior color combinations available. The last 59 AMRs are dubbed Vantage 59, with special color/option combinations celebrating Aston’s 1959 Le Mans win. Manual transmission will be available on the base Vantage in late 2020.

2021 Audi A7/S7

Audi’s A7 luxury hatchback model was redesigned two years ago, giving it more luxury and technology. There is also the S7 performance variant, with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 with 450 horsepower.

This car is based on the A6 sedan. It seats up to four and is made to look like a coupe, but has four passenger doors and a rear liftgate to give it the utility of a wagon.

Base price range is about $68,000-$113,000.

A7 base models come with a 335-horsepower, twin-turbo V-6 engine with a seven-speed sequential automatic transmission and Quattro fulltime all-wheel drive.

The cargo area has 19 cubic feet of space, and can be expanded by folding down the rear seatback.

2021 Porsche Cayenne

Porsche has added two new versions of the Cayenne midsize SUV to its lineup for 2021: the Cayenne GTS and the Cayenne GTS Coupe.

The German sports car maker says these new models “mark the return of a V-8 engine to the GLS.” That engine is the Porsche-developed 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8, which also comes in the Panamera GTS sedan. It cranks out an impressive 453 horsepower and 457 foot-pounds of torque.

It’s connected to an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission and includes the Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive. These new variants can go from zero to 60 mph 4.5 seconds or 4.2 seconds using Performance Start, which is included in the optional Sport Chrono Package (standard on Coupe). Both models have a top track speed of 168 mph.

Sport Exhaust is included on all Cayenne GTS models, and features specially configured tailpipes on the outer edges of the rear bumper.
