"While the M139 XXX four pot was a mistake in the modern C class AMG's and should have been reserved for just the smaller cars. The Emira did it right by it. It feels so right for it. Listen to the noise you can hear the turbo whistle. While not a manual like the V6 the character is still there the noise the Lotus character. The car doesn't sound like its restrained by German regulations. Could you imagine if all they did was electric cars"

"One of the few modern flagships that actually justified its badge. The B7 received extensive changes to the N63 V8 to match its power with the M760Li its cooling system and its boost control creating a powerband meant for continuous speed. XXX Hp V8 with XXX Nm of torque and a ZF X Switchtronic gearbox. Steering dampers and xDrive logic were all recalibrated. And people will often say its the M7 they we're looking for. What about top speed XXX km/h. Alpina B7 G12"

"Where the M6 chased revs the B6 chased usable power. Instead of the S85 V10 Alpina used their own N62 based V8. With over XXX HP and instant torque with the supercharger Alpina called it H1. Cooling internals and software were reworked giving the car a very different character from the M6. It became a high-speed GT with discipline and stability rather than an aggressive flagship. Alpina B6 E64"

"An early performance SUV that never got much attention. The first-gen X4 M40i. ran the N55 XXX turbo straight six with XXX HP. Closer to the old F25 X3 35i than any full M product. Its closest German rival at the time was the Audi SQ5 Sportback only with BMW focusing more on engine response than outright torque. A transition model that the market largely forgot. Enjoy this video"

"A short-lived experiment that most people missed entirely. The Panamera 4S Diesel ran a XXX V8 twin-turbo diesel producing deep mid-range power uncommon for Porsche. It sat above the V6's but below the Turbo models aimed at long-distance efficiency. Its closest competitor was Audis A8 XXX TDI sharing similar engineering roots. Discontinued early making it one of the rarest modern Panameras. The example in the video has been tuned to XXX Hp"

"A performance Touareg that most buyers didnt realise existed. The VW Touareg R uses a XXX V6 turbo hybrid system producing XXX HP sharing components with Porsches E-Hybrid models. It replaces the earlier V8 Touareg options and targets the BMW X5 50e Mercedes GLE XX Hybrid and Cayenne S E-Hybrid in concept rather than character. A technical shift for the Touareg nameplate that remained low-profile due to limited market presence. Volkswagen Touareg R. Soon to be gone"

"The V8 option for those who wanted a big V8 that doesn't kill the wallet. The E60 550i used the N62 4.8-litre V8 giving it a broad torque band and a quieter power delivery than the S85 V10 above it. Positioned one step below the flagship M5 it offered strong performance with simpler engineering and a more conventional driving character. A car built for lower revving torque characteristics however any used N62 powered BMW today is a pain to own"

"AMGs first attempt at turning an SUV into something more than transport. The ML55 took the W163 and replaced its modest V6/V8 options with the M113 5.4-litre V8 creating one of the earliest performance SUVs long before the segment became mainstream. Its XXX HP wasnt the point it was the contrast. A body-on-frame SUV lifted heavy and shaped for practicality suddenly paired with an engine shared with the E55 AMG. Today it sits in an odd place: not widely known not particularly refined but significant as the moment AMG learned how to scale performance into a larger format"

"A special edition built because Porsche wanted to win a rally no one else prepared for. The Cayenne S Transsyberia used the naturally aspirated 4.8-litre V8 from the regular S model but adapted it with shorter ratios reinforced components and unique calibration for long-distance competition use. Created to conquer the Transsyberia rally it borrowed ideas from the GTS but applied them to endurance rather than road speed. A small production run and its motorsport link make it more interesting than the numbers suggest a reminder of when Porsche used the Cayenne platform for experimentation not"

"Straight six is all BMW you want a straight X Get a Passat or a Skoda its what I would have said to him. Actually one time he asked me when we we're walkin past an idling X5 usual straight six diesel noises. He asked me if it sounded better of course I said yes and added that his BMW sounds like a Skoda. Then he asked if I wanted to walk home"

"One of the last diesel V8s engineered at this scale powerful heavy and built for long-distance authority. The Audi SQ8 TDI used a 4.0-litre V8 with mild-hybrid tech designed to deliver instant torque and sustained high-speed performance. It sat between the regular TDI models and the RSQ8 offering RS-ish acceleration without the petrol engines theatrics. Against BMWs X5 M50d the SQ8 trades turbos for displacement. Reports highlight DPF stress EGR failures and extremely expensive turbocharger replacements especially on hard-driven examples. Overall durability varies heavily with maintenance"

"A performance badge supported by software rather than mechanical character. The previous Audi SQ5 TDI Sportback uses a 3.0-litre V6 diesel paired with artificial exhaust sound pumped through rear speakers a decision that divides the entire enthusiast base. It sits below the SQ5 petrol and above the standard TDI models but its character is noticeably shaped by calibration rather than hardware. Placed against BMWs X3 M40d the SQ5 relies more on digital tuning while the BMW builds its identity through its engine and gearbox alone"

"The Euro-spec E36 BMW M3 Saloon paired BMWs high-revving straight-six with a discreet four-door body. Compared with later M cars it relied far less on electronics and far more on mechanical balance and driver input. Its interior was defined by slim sports seats manual controls and clear analogue gauges. Materials were functional rather than luxurious. This simplicity reduced distraction and kept the driver connected allowing long-distance driving without fatigue while still supporting focused engaged use when required"

"The E39 Touring BMW never offered but everyone wishes they had. Alpina reworked the M62 into a XXX litre V8 with new pistons camshafts and induction changes. The result was XXX Hp and XXX Nm of broad clean torque paired with suspension and steering tuned for refinement at speed. With the Touring body and Switch-Tronic gearbox it became one of Alpinas most complete interpretations of the E39. And one of the rarest BMW based tourings ever. Alpina B10 V8 S E39"

"A flagship diesel that rarely enters the conversation. The Audi A8 XX TDI is powered by a XXX V8 diesel positioned as the top diesel option in the D5 generation. It competes with the BMW 750d offering a different approach to high-speed efficiency. Despite its output and refinement its far less discussed than the petrol A8 variants mainly because the segment moved away from large diesels. And it was gone with a short production time of just X years"

"The V8 E-Class that lived just under AMG but didnt need the badge. Using the M273 naturally aspirated V8 the E500 or E550 delivered strong torque and smooth acceleration without the aggressive calibration of the E63. It offered the same platform the same long-distance stability and much less of a headache than the later turbocharged E500. Positioned below AMG in power with just XXX Hp compared to the XXX Hp in the E63 but still very much a high-capability E-Class. Mercedes-Benz E500 (E550 in USA) W212"

"A supercharged V6 that marked Audis shift away from big naturally aspirated engines. The XXX TFSI shared its basic architecture with engines later used in S4 S5 and A7 models defining a new direction for Audi performance. In the C6 A6 it provided smooth predictable power without the complexity of the earlier V8s it replaced. A transitional model that introduced the formula Audi refined for the next decade.

"Diesel efficiency shaped through Alpina rather than M-division. The D3 S uses the B57 inline-six from the M340d but reworked for smoother torque delivery and long-distance consistency. It exists as the alternative for buyers who want the performance envelope car with maximum relaxation. Alpina D3 S Allrad G21"

"BMW didnt build the 745i because the world needed a faster X Series. They built it because the brand wanted a technological flagship before anyone used that term. The 3.2-litre turbocharged M102 was there to deliver maximum torque. The boost delivery was clean progressive and deliberately restrained. In the early 1980s this car served a purpose: bring Autobahn performance into a class where engines usually focused on smoothness not speed. Today the 745i reads like an origin point. The moment BMW realised luxury and turbocharging could coexist without losing identity. BMW 745i E23"

"The BMW E32 735i shows a side of BMW that no longer exists a time when the straight-six was the centre of the entire brand. The 3.5-litre M30 didnt rush or pretend to be sporty. It was chosen because it delivered its power with steadiness not urgency. Paired with the rigid quiet E32 structure. Not a flagship not the model magazines talked about. But the one that actually defined how a BMW luxury car should feel. And today that clarity of purpose is exactly why it stands out"

"The XXX GT2 stripped the XXX formula down to intent. Rear-wheel drive twin turbos and no electronic safety net beyond ABS. Based on the Turbo but sharpened and uncompromising it demanded precision rather than forgiveness. Often overshadowed by later GT cars yet more direct. It represents the point where Porsche still trusted the driver more than the software since all we're manual only"

"The CLK GTR existed to satisfy regulations not customers. Built around a racing programme its carbon structure mid-mounted V12 and extreme proportions followed function entirely. The road versions were a formality carrying the same priorities with minimal concession to comfort. It stands as a reminder of an era when GT1 homologation road cars still existed. And the engine was literally from the same S class of the era W140. Mercedes-AMG CLK GTR"

"The early Gallardo used a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V10 sharing its basic architecture with the later RS6 C6 unit. In Lamborghini form it focused on response and sound rather than torque delivery. Compact high-revving and mechanically straightforward it defined the Gallardo before revisions softened its edges. A purer expression of the platform. And one of the best sounding V10's"

"The E34 540i LE was defined by its naturally aspirated 4.0-litre V8 a configuration uncommon in executive saloons of its time. The LE specification focused on equipment and finish rather than outright performance branding. What it was is a spiritual successor to the E34 M5 in markets where it was no longer offered using and having M car standard features while keeping a unchanged V8"

"The E46 330Ci Clubsport sat between standard M Sport models and the full M3 using the familiar 3.0-litre M54 straight-six but paired with a tighter chassis setup and unique trim. Power figures matched the regular 330Ci yet the Clubsport focused on driver engagement through reduced weight and suspension tuning rather than output. Inside the cabin featured fixed-back sports seats Alcantara trim and leather details not found in standard models. The driving position was lower and firmer an optional rear spoiler for aesthetics reinforcing focus. It offered a more purposeful environment without"

"Mercedes W222 S600 Maybach given the Brabus power upgrade. Brabus didnt modify the Maybach S600 to make it louder or more aggressive. They rebuilt it to show what happens when absolute luxury meets extreme engineering discipline. The 6.0-litre M279 V12 is completely reworked turbos redesigned internals strengthened cooling expanded. The goal was simple: take the quietest Mercedes model and give it the kind of acceleration usually reserved for lightweight supercars. Yet the character remains almost unchanged on the surface. Inside it is still a Maybach: silent insulated controlled. The result"

"AMG performance in one of the brands least conventional shapes. The GLE XX S Coup runs the M157 XXX twin-turbo V8 with XXX HP in the older version positioned as the performance counterpart to the BMW X6M. Compared with the previous ML63 the coup roofline trades cargo space for stance while keeping the same drivetrain philosophy. A weird coupe SUV that still stands today even when its only got a XXX L Bi-Turbo V8 in the later models but not that popular. Mercedes-AMG GLE XX S Coupe C292"

"The Audi A8 D2 W12 was less about status and more about technical positioning. By fitting a naturally aspirated twelve-cylinder into an aluminium spaceframe saloon Audi aimed to rival the S-Class and X Series through engineering rather than heritage. Compared with later turbocharged luxury flagships its power delivery was linear and unobtrusive prioritising refinement over presence. Inside the cabin combined real wood veneers soft leather surfaces and a wide upright dashboard layout. Large glass areas and thin pillars improved visibility while the seating position emphasised comfort rather"

"A flagship built around controlled modern performance. The A8 XX TFSI uses Audis 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 paired with quattro and a chassis calibrated for stability rather than excitement. Designed to sit just below the S8 it focuses on refined acceleration and consistent composure. A luxury model engineered for effortless predictable pace. Is it available in the UK though Probably not"

"The CTR Yellowbird took the XXX Turbo concept and removed restraint. Reduced weight revised aerodynamics and a heavily reworked flat-six shifted the focus from stability to outright speed. Built in small numbers it gained its reputation through capability rather than branding. It showed how far a disciplined independent manufacturer could push a familiar base without losing coherence. Enjoy the performance"

Inside standard E46 switchgear seats and dashboard architecture were retained"

"After the E46 expectations were sky-high but BMWs next X Series took a different turn. After the clean E46 the E90s bulbous lights and busy surfacing felt clumsy. Why is it that the E92 looked good with the E91 but E90 E91 suffered. The front end had the odd grilles why wasn't it made with the E92 front It was a product of its time caught between design languages. The facelift helped massively and now the E90s proportions make more sense. Time has softened the hate especially as modern BMWs got bolder but the pre-LCI remains one of the weakest X Series designs. An another weird fact the E9X"

"A high-output SUV that most people still overlook. The X4 M Competition uses the S58 XXX twin-turbo straight six from the G80 M3 wrapped in a coup-shaped body that sits between BMWs M SUVs and the standard X models. It competes directly with the Mercedes-AMG GLC XX S Coup but remains the lesser-known option simply because it is so small and people just don't know what this is. Since the popularity is so low for it the X4 in general is gonna be gone by 2026. BMW X4 M Competition F98"

"A Rolls shaped by British luxury and powered by Munich engineering. The Wraith used a variant of BMWs N74 6.6-litre V12 an engine also found in the 760Li. Large displacement twin-turbo power and a focus on silent torque made it distinct from its BMW applications. A British grand tourer built on German mechanical foundations. And Today it has been replaced by an electric Spectre. Rolls-Royce Wraith 2014"

"A XXX that sits between eras without drawing attention to itself. The XXXXX Carrera 4S used the 3.8-litre direct-injection flat-six paired here with a manual gearbox. It avoided the complexity of the later turbocharged generation while gaining refinement over the XXX. Neither a GT car nor a basic Carrera. It occupies a middle ground enthusiasts often overlook. Its steady values today show something simple: a naturally aspirated flat-six widebody proportions and a manual transmission never lose relevance. Porsche XXX Carrera 4S 997.2"

"A diesel V8 placed inside an SUV that never tried to look fast only capable. The XXX TDI produced enormous torque and gave the Touareg genuine long-distance authority. It sat above everything and formed a quiet bridge to the Porsche Cayenne diesel models which shared similar engineering under the skin. Against the Audi Q7 V12 TDI the Touareg offered less headline drama but far more usable reliability and running costs. The XXX TDI is known for oil cooler leaks intake issues and high heat load but widely regarded as far more dependable than the earlier XXX V10 TDI disaster"

This is what made the Mercedes CL XX unique in AMGs portfolio: a performance flagship that avoided theatrics and focused on uninterrupted acceleration. Today it represents the last high-point of discreet V12 power at Mercedes"
