BMW 760 Li

One might wonder how a humble (relatively so, of course) could possibly figure in the same list as some of the hallowed names that have gone before this. From the outside it doesn’t even look particularly spectacular. Until you see the alpha-numeric badge on its flank that tells you what lies under the bonnet of this 7 Series is no ordinary run-of-the-mill BMW engine.

Instead, in this particular 7 Series you get the benefit of a six-litre twin-turbocharged V12. Yes, you did hear right, for the car that graces Yohan’s garage is the hallowed 760 Li. Transmission to the rear wheels is accomplished through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. This 5,972-cc petrol engine produces a very supercar-like 544 PS of maximum power and a massive 750 Nm of peak torque to push its 2,274-kilo bulk at fearsome pace.

The car is loaded with all the bells and whistles necessary for a business tycoon to head to a meeting. At the same time, the BMW’s brilliant driving dynamics combine with that powerful engine to deliver an experience that will endear it to even the most hardcore of speed freaks.

Slight correction in page 13 last line : ‘the Gallardo was the replacement for its predecessor, the Murcielago, and has now been replaced by the Aventador’

Infact Murcielago was not the predecessor of Gallardo, it was Jalpa & Gallardo has now been replaced by Huracan not Aventador. Aventador is Murcielago’s successor though.
