| PERFORMANCE RATING: |

There's a 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol, two V8 petrol motors (3.7 and 4.2), plus two diesels - 3.0 six and 4.0 V8. A W12 petrol is coming. None of the petrol engines is short on pace, though the 3.7 doesn't feel quite as powerful as expected. All are extremely quiet and refined. So is the four-litre turbodiesel, possibly our choice of the range, while the 3.0-litre straight-six is fine. Power for all is delivered through a good, smooth, six-speed automatic gearbox, with tiptronic over-ride on the gearshift lever, or via optional paddles on the steering wheel.
