Three sleek vehicles to fit your high-flying lifestyle
The Classic Connoisseur
Mercedes-Benz 2012 CLS63 AMGStreet cred: MB’s “one man, one engine” philosophy ensuring each engine is handcrafted by one engineer. New AMG V8 biturbo engine, with 550 hp that saves 33 percent of fuel economy from the previous model.
Style points: Four-door coupe with rear fenders styled from the 1950’s pontoon era
MSRP: $76,000-$110,000.
Porsche Panamera S Hybrid
Street cred: A 3.0-liter V6 compressor engine that delivers 330 hp and a compact electric motor with a maximum output of 47 hp at 288 volts. Goes from 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds with a top track speed of 167 mph.
Style points: Sleek sporty design with classic Porsche lines doesn’t feel like a typical hybrid.

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe
