The Lexus LC500 is a head-turning coupe with a neck-breaking 5.0-litre V8 engine that dances like a ballerina and sings like a Broadway star.
It sounds rumbly, angry and glorious - the new entry-level Bentley is Crewe's finest V8 model ever.
Eat your hearts out M3 and ISF - the Mercedes C63 AMG is back to the V8 performance saloon party.
While the facelifted IS F realises some minor changes, it retains its unbridled ferocity under its bonnet.
With its trackbred credentials and civilised on-road behaviour, the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale shows us how to have our cake and eat it too.
We reckon the best way to appreciate Maserati's operatic V8 soundtrack is with the top down... Enter the GranCabrio.
Aimed squarely at the German's M, RS and AMG, the long awaited Lexus car may just F them out of the way.
