Police manning the traffic stop overs will absolutely remeber these sleeks cars despite the fact that they do not come back. Here are the ten best cars for you
Aston Martin DB9
Price: Ksh 18,600,727 ($183,700)
The Aston Martin DB9 GT is a four-seat grand tourer that charms with its supremely elegant styling, bespoke interior and sonorous twelve-cylinder motor.
Underneath its hood, DB9 boasts the latest version of Aston Martin’s proven 5.9-liter V12 engine. Essentially a detuned version of the Vanquish supercar’s mill, the DB9’s unit serves up 540 horsepower — 30 more than the outgoing model — along with 457 lb-ft of torque. The zero-to-sixty mph sprint is achieved in the low-four-second range.
Mercedes-Maybach S600.
Price: Ksh 19,165,542 ($189,350)
Owned by Chris Kirubi.
Power for the Maybach comes from a S600-sourced twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine that makes 523 horsepower between 4,900 and 5,300 rpm and a healthy 612 lb-ft. of torque from 1,900 to 4,000 rpm.
Linked to a seven-speed automatic transmission, the twelve-cylinder sends the 214-inch long behemoth from zero to 60 mph in an impressive five seconds and on to a top speed that is electronically limited to 155 mph. Gas mileage checks in at 13 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.
Bentley Continental GT
Price: Ksh 20091682 ($198,500)
The twin-turbocharged V8 engine promises much improved fuel economy while retaining most of the 12-cylinder’s power. The eight-cylinder sends 500 horsepower and 487 lb-ft. of torque to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission, enough to send the heavy coupe from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and on to a top speed of over 180 mph. Fuel economy comes in at 15 city, 24 highway miles per gallon.
The Green Lamborghini Murcielago.
Price: Ksh 20,243,509 ($200,000)
Owned by Samia Barry and her husband.
Lamborghini celebrated its 40th anniversary by releasing a limited run of 50 40th-Anniversary Edition Murciélagos. Enhancements over the standard vehicle included a limited-edition blue body color that was labeled “Jade-Green”, carbon-fiber exterior detailing, upgraded wheels, a revamped exhaust system, and a numbered plaque on the inside of the rear window. The interior also featured unique leather trim
Mercedes SLS AMG
Price: Ksh 22,424,747 ($221,580).
The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.
Rolls Royce Dawn
Price: Ksh 30,365,263 ($300,000)
Rumored to belong to a city politician meant to be used for the 2017 general election.
Rolls-Royce has taken the wrapping off of its latest model today, the 2016 Dawn convertible, and it’s done so in an unusual fashion.
The plutocrat’s auto maker didn’t stage the premiere of its stunning new four-seat drophead at one of the world’s auto shows, or even at a splashy lifestyle event in some exclusive resort. It unveiled the car online, in front of an invitation-only digital audience of owners, potential buyers and media. While an Internet reveal is hardly a new idea, it’s a first for the luxury auto maker, and it’s because Rolls is eager to reach its buyers where they are, which is increasingly mobile and far-flung around the globe.
Rolls Royce Phantom
Price: Ksh 42,291,221 ($417,825)
Owned by Samia Barry and her husband.
In keeping with Rolls-Royce tradition, the Phantom uses an enormous naturally-aspirated twelve-cylinder engine. It displaces 6.75 liters and produces 453 horsepower at 5350 rpm and 531 pound-feet of torque at 3500 rpm. New for the latest model is an eight-speed automatic transmission, which helps the rear-drive Phantom waft from zero-to-60 mph in under six second despite the sedan’s massive 5,800-pound curb weight. Fuel economy is about what one would expect – 11 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway.
Ferrari 612 Sessanta
Price: 42,916,239 ($424,000).
The 612 Sessanta is produced on the body of the 612 Scaglietti introduced during the Geneva Motor-Show 2007. The 612 Sessanta is a limited (60 unit) version commemorating 60th anniversary of the company. It is available only with F1 gearbox and provides the following features. The Ferrari 612 was replaced by the Ferrari FF in 2011.
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse
Price: Ksh 232,271,543 ($2,293,904).
It goes without saying that the Bugatti Veyron La Finale will feature it’s main attraction: the 8.0-liter W16 engine that packs four turbochargers, 64 valves, and it capable of producing 1,183 horsepower and a staggering 1,106 pound-feet of torque. The power is sent to all four wheels by way of a seven-speed dual-clutch sequential gearbox. All this results in the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse skyrocketing to its record holding 267.8 mph top speed.
