What do Chrysler and fashion designer John Varvatos both have in common? Well, for starters they were both born in Detroit, Michigan. And now the unlikely partners have teamed up to create an even more luxurious build of the popular Chrysler 300C sedan.

Alpina’s take on the recently unleashed BMW 4-Series Coupe, the B4 BiTurbo has a 3.0 liter, straight six twin-turbo engine that’s been tuned to produce 410hp. Choose from a rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configuration, both with 8-speed ZF Switchtronic transmissions, which help it pull away from 0-to-62mph in just 4.0 seconds with the AWD on the 4.2 seconds with the RWD.

Hot on the heels of the upscale Cadenza, KIA has outed another luxurious sedan. The K900 is a full-size car which can be decked out with high-end touches like premium Nappa leather trimmed seats, wood trim, and aluminum alloy accents.

Land Rover debuted its 2014 Range Rover Autobiography Black at the 2013 L.A. Auto Show and this luxury SUV is sure to set new standards in its class. The long wheelbase vehicle adds 7.3″ to the second row legroom and allows for greater seat recline.

Mercedes Benz has raised the bar for luxury sedans that also have outrageous performance. The 2015 Mercedes S65 AMG comes equipped with a 6.0-liter biturbo V12 capable of outputting 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque.

There’s no denying the Jaguar F-Type is one of those cars that generates an emotional response from the first second you lay eyes on one. But is its beauty more than skin deep? I’ve had the opportunity to drive the F-Type V8 S for a while and put it through its paces.

The 2014 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is Ferrari’s flagship car and it’s the most powerful Ferrari currently in production, until we see the LaFerrari. The sweeping curves of the Berlinetta scream speed as does the 731 horsepower naturally aspirated V12 engine.

For its Christmas 2013 catalog, Neiman Marcus partnered up with Aston Martin to create just ten of this extravagant Vanquish. For the most part, it’s like every other Vanquish, and that’s not a bad thing – with its 6.0-liter V12 engine, 565 horses, and 457 lb-ft.

The 2014 Maserati Ghibli is Maserati’s vehicle targeting the mid-range luxury sports sedan market space. This vehicle, looking square in the eyes of the BMW 6 series, Audi A6, and the Mercedes CLS class, will certainly turn some heads when you pull it into your driveway.

UK “Petrolhead” Shmee150 managed to score a tour of the SBH Royal Auto Gallery, home to a private auto collection in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. This amazing multi-million dollar collection includes dozens of incredible and rare vehicles, including the most special Ferraris, McLarens, Aston Martins, Porsches, and a whopping five Bugatti Veyrons in various flavors.

Audi has introduced a limited edition version of its A8 L sedan with a W12 engine and exclusive interior. Audi will produce just 50 of the very exclusive vehicles. The key changes are to the vehicle’s interior, which comes with aniline leather Agatha cognac color sourced from the tradition-laden Italian designer furniture maker Poltrona Frau.

Jaguar has announced the pending arrival of a more exclusive, sportier version of its XFR sports sedan. The XFR-S include an additional 40 horsepower squeezed out of its 5.0 liter V8. It also has front and rear springs that are 40% stiffer than the standard XFR’s.

In recent years, Kia has really stepped up its game, and now has a serious contender in the luxury car market in the form of the 2014 Cadenza. Not only does the Cadenza feature upscale exterior styling, but it’s well outfitted both under the hood and inside the passenger compartment.

Jaguar sends its all-wheel drive 2014 XJ into Northern Canada to prove how well this luxury sedan can handle not only the area’s extreme temperatures (down to -58°F or colder), but the snow and ice with aplomb.

AMG tricks out Mercedes-Benz S-class with a twin-turbo 630 horsepower, 6.0-liter V12 power plant, connected to a seven-speed Speedshift automatic transmission. The S65 AMG is said to go 0-to-62 in an impressive 4.3 seconds. Other AMG enhancements include high-gloss 20-inch alloy wheels, an aggressive front apron and splitter, quad exhaust, AMG sport seats and leather interior, stainless steel door trim, and an AMG two-spoke sport steering wheel.
