Bentley Continental GTC
A sexy, new convertible version of Bentley's Continental GT features a soft fabric top that stows neatly under a leather-lined cover for a sleek top-down look. Bentley's usual impeccable interior treatment makes the Continental GTC's cabin a feast for the senses. And with a 552-hp W12 engine and all-wheel drive, it's sure to set the heart racing.
Based on the Z4 Roadster, the new Z4 Coupe appeals to sports- car purists who shun frou-frou convertibles yet value distinctive styling and practicality. The latter is thanks to a decent trunk, comfortable seats and good gas mileage from the car's 255-hp 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine. A six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic with shift paddles on the steering wheel are both available.
The Z4 M Coupe is a higher-performance version of the standard Z4 Coupe and complements the Z4 M Roadster, which debuted for 2006. Like its ragtop twin, the M Coupe features the same 330-hp 3.2-liter six-cylinder engine as the vaunted M3, along with styling tweaks, a stiffer suspension, retuned steering system and other performance upgrades.
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
The 599 GTB Fiorano is the latest in a long line of front-engine 12-cylinder Ferraris. Its 620-hp 6.0-liter V12 makes the 599 GTB the most powerful street-legal Ferrari ever — good for a sprint to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph, Ferrari says. Italian design house Pininfarina designed the aluminum body. It will be the first Ferrari to feature a self-adjusting suspension that uses magnetic currents to vary damping rates.
Jaguar XK/XKR
Jaguar's flashy and fast XK coupe and convertible are overdue but worthy replacements for the aging XK8. They offer a roomier, higher-quality interior, a more rigid body and improved powertrains. A 300-hp 4.2-liter V8 and six-speed automatic transmission are standard. The higher-performance XKR versions upgrade to a 420-hp, supercharged V8 and a stiffer suspension.
Pontiac Solstice GXP
The svelte Solstice gains a higher-output GXP variant for 2007. Its 260-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine offers nearly twice as much as power as the engine in the base model. A sport suspension, limited-slip rear differential, styling tweaks and various other performance improvements complete the package and transform the Solstice from a fun roadster into a serious sports car.
