BMW M4 Coupe – Overview The first M car dates back to 1978, and the letter has since become synonymous with power, fun, and driving enjoyment. As for the car underneath; the BMW 4 Series was first introduced in 2013 when BMW wanted to differentiate the coupe from its 4-door sedan 3 Series, and a year later (predictably), the M4 followed.  The BMW M4 is now it its second generation and is given the codename G82 for the coupe hardtop body, while the G83 is for the convertible soft top. The convertible can only be had in Competition guise, while the coupe variant also has a standard option. Just like the previous generation, the new M4 has a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-6 engine, and it can be mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. However, gone is the DCT and in its place is a familiar 8-speed automatic ZF transmission that powers cars with the Competition pack. M4s with this pack also have an option for an AWD system, called the M xDrive.

Ferrari 812 GTS – Overview The Ferrari 812 Superfast succeeded the Ferrari F12berlinetta as the Prancing Horse’s V12 grand tourer in 2017. The same formula was used too – a large scintillating V12 engine in front, power sent only to the rear, and a generous helping of drama. The name is easy enough to understand too. The grand tourer has 800 cavallli vapore – that’s 800 PS in the Queen’s – and 12 for the number of cylinders hidden under that long, sleek hood. The 812 Superfast was followed in quick succession with the Ferrari 812 GTS, which is the same car with a talent for going topless. As a hardtop convertible, the Ferrari 812 GTS is the first front-engine V12 production car the Italians have made in 50 years. Maranello has been experimenting with turbocharging recently with their V8s, but forced induction has yet to be seen on their V12s, thankfully. The one in the Ferrari 812 Superfast and Ferrari 812 GTS was the most powerful ever, before the boffins fettled it further in the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2.
