When you think of muscle cars, the first thing that comes to mind is a high performance coupe with a solid potential for drag strip racing. But trust us, beginning from the golden era, this category has always included 4-door models like the legendary Ford Thunderbird Landau Sedan or Dodge Coronet. So in today’s video we will explore the spiritual descendants of these classics; they defy the old standards by doubling, tripling or even quadrupling the horsepower and torque figures.

Great list! I'd be happy w the 300. It's the only 1 I can comfortably afford (besides charger, had a 5.7 hemi before) and for US east coast its fairly practical. Because of brutal traffic and poorly maintained roads, 300hp is plenty
the BMW 760E design is everything that a German performance sedan shouldn't be . . . something seriously wrong with BMW . . . it's high time ROLLS ROYCE consider other engines besides the aging 6.75 V12 . . . a supercharged 4.3 V8 with mild hybrid (PHEV) and a new twin-turbocharged 6.8 V12 . . . both power packs mated to a drive-by-wire 10-speed (torque converter) auto transmission . . . AWD on top variants but not the rear wheel steering please . . . spoils the fun of driving . . . ofcourse ROLLS ROYCE will retain the 6.75 V12 but it needs a serious make over without compromising the 6.75 litre cubic capacity & it's 12 cylinders . . . time to start from scratch, with a completely new engine block for the 6.75 V12 . . .
Should have made an acr version 😋
