#11 Rolls Royce Ghost Six Senses
As the name says, this Royce was meant to add more appeal to the Phantoms younger brothers ghostly appearance. The addition of more luxury features then it already comes with, this car definitely lives up to its name; its definitely a spirit that no one would hesitate to take a ride in.
Engine: 6.6L V12 Twin-Turbo
HP&Torque: 563 Hp & 575 ft/lbs
0-60: 5.0 sec
Trans: 8 speed
Top Speed: 155 mph (gov)
I will be talking about LED’s and how Audi made other companies copy their innovative DRL with their A5 model.
#12 Honda NSX Concept
Although it’s just a concept it sparked a lot of buzz to Honda fans, celebrities and auto junkies. As the Honda S2000 departed from the market this car has been behind the scenes waiting for its moment to shine. Going from a V10 to a now powered V6 hybrid car with a possible SH-AWD system, Honda and NSX fans can’t wait to see if this concept will finally be released.
The V10 powered HSV was supposed to be the next generation NSX, but instead was made a GT car. However you never know what car manufacturers have up their sleeve. With more competition and rivals being revived, I believe the NSX will soon be here to strut its badge as the Honda/Acura super car once again.
Pictured below is the past and concept NSX

#13 2012 Audi RS5
Yea Yea I was late, sorry, but here it is the new 2012 RS5 is my pick for the good looking rides of 2012. Audi made a strong move with this new model back in 2006/2007 also with their innovative LED lighting system. I was very impressed with the car and fell in love with the S5 model when it strutted its way through. When the first R model was made it looked even meaner and packed a powerful punch, although I would still pick a M3 over it. I’m not going to get into details about the car, because obviously you might have already gone other sites such as European car, top speed, blah blah blah to get that. (My English teachers would be made at my sentence structures in this post)
I do wish they kept the car the same, it seems a little to fast for them to move on this model since it did very well in sales (like Nissan and the 370z). The new A5 doesn’t have that much of a self made look anymore unless you get the S-line package or S model. The shape looks dull and like almost all other Audi’s, it seems like they are slowly coming closer and closer to looking like Volkswagen’s. For example just look at the A4 and the passat/CC too close to looks and far in price. Some parts, as most VW/Audi enthusiasts know, are also shared between the groups. I do agree though that if I bought Audi I would use parts that are better and more efficient to build that car; but does that take the heart away from the car.
Ok enough of me being a little girl and crying over this, I really love the A5 and A6 models, they are definitely the only two that are keeping me interested in street legal Audi’s.
Price: $69,000
Engine: 4.5 FSI V8
Power: 450HP / 317 ft-lb
0-60: 4.7 sec
Uniqueness: crown gear differential to allow drivers to change power distribution to the Front or Rear tires instead of the 50/50 on all 4 wheels.

#14 Lamborghini Aventador
Replacing the bat, comes the Aventador from lamborghini. It takes queues from its two older brothers the Murcielago and Reventon. With beautiful looks and a mean swagger this car looks good on the outside and if you’ve ever heard one rev while you stand behind its exhaust, you know to never do that again–well if your at least 100ft+ away. Although I’m still not happy they are being controlled by Audi, don’t get me wrong I loved (I’ve divorced Audi), but looking at the R8 and Gallardo’s interior it’s like Lambo originality only lies in its body and emblem. Maybe I’m too in over my head, but anyways I love this car minus the interior; looks to space age with too many lights.
Specs
Engine: V12 6.5L
HP: 700HP w/ 507ft/lb torque
0-60: 2.9 sec’s
Tires: Pirelli 255/35 F, 335/30 R
Minnesota Cars and Coffee event
Even though I would never get a matte paint cause of my personal preferences the matte black look is by far my favorite it always tempts me to try it out. My favorites are Carrera GT and S15 matte blacks.
#15 Lexus LFA NUR
Love this ride, the sound of it and the beauty of Japanese engineering. The NUR edition of the LFA is for someone who wants a road and track car–as if it already isn’t–to use. With a package deal of revised tweeks to the engine as well as new wheels, carbon fiber canards, permanent spoiler, and suspension upgrades this ride is still looking good as it rolled out in 2012. Besides the Porsche Carrera GT and Pagani Cinque its one of the best sounding cars I’ve heard so far.
