No, there's still no pure BMW M variant of the BMW 7 Series, but this is as close as it gets. The BMW M760Li is the new flagship model in the sixth generation BMW 7 Series range. It sports a 6.6-litre M Performance TwinPower Turbo biturbo V12 engine that churns out 441 kW (600 hp) and 800 Nm (590 lb.-ft.) of torque.

Opting for M Driver's Package increases the top speed limit to 305 km/h.

Ferrari GTC4Lusso
Ferrari needed to give a mid-life facelift to its only 4-seat model - the Ferrari FF, and it did so, but by replacing the 'FF' moniker with 'GTC4 Lusso'. The new name takes us back to the 20th century reminding of a few classic Ferraris like the 330 GTC or its 4-seat version, the 330 GT, and even the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso.
The design and styling update also brings better aerodynamics, and a resultant improvement in the coefficient of drag from the FF.
