" 1. Bentley Continental GT $164,990 At around $165,000, the Continental GT ain&amp;#039;t cheap. But it&amp;#039;s cheap for a Bentley. And with a 552 hp twin-turbo W-12 and all-wheel drive, the Conti is effortlessly fast. It&amp;#039;ll do 200 miles per hour, carry your golf clubs, and coddle three lucky passengers in a cocoon of leather and wood that smells a lot like stacks of greenbacks in your bank account. It also has the most perfectly sculpted body since Angelina Jolie. The GT has never been a Bond car, but it should&amp;#039;ve been.  2. Mercedes S550 $86,175 The previous-generation S-Class&amp;#039;s conservative styling seemed to say, &amp;quot;Oh, gosh, I&amp;#039;m expensive? My apologies . . .&amp;quot; The new S550, though, has rediscovered the word imposing, with bulging fenders and headlights sculpted into an aggressive sneer. The S once again looks the part of a proper ride for fat cats. A new 382 hp V-8 gets you out of kidnapping attempts and paparazzi attacks, and it&amp;#039;s even got frickin&amp;#039; night vision. And 2007 will bring with it a truly frightening V-12 S600 turbo. Herr Ess-Class, welcome back.   3. The BMW M5 $81,200 The M5&amp;#039;s story is pretty simple: It&amp;#039;s the fastest sedan you can buy. Okay, certain cars (say, the Mercedes S65 AMG) might beat it in a straight line, but if you had to get around the N\u00C3f\u00C2\u00BCrburgring in eight minutes with the kids aboard, this is the only way to fly. With a touch of the &amp;quot;M&amp;quot; button on the steering wheel, the V-10 goes from 400 hp to a full 500 ponies, wailing past 8,000 rpm via a seven-speed sequential manual gearbox. The M5&amp;#039;s a daily driver that can hang with the most bitchin&amp;#039; performance machines on earth.   4. Ferrari F430 Spider $207,199 Moneyed car aficionados couldn&amp;#039;t get enough of the Ferrari F360. It commanded a premium over MSRP for its entire five-year production run. Instead of building all the F360&amp;#039;s they could sell, the boys at Ferrari--bless their wily little Italian hearts--did just the opposite: They canceled it and rolled out something even better. The F430 is sexier, faster, and makes better noises than its predecessor. If you don&amp;#039;t aspire to own a red F430, you don&amp;#039;t have a pulse.  5. Porsche 911 $71,300 This car is so fundamentally appealing that it&amp;#039;s remained essentially unchanged since 1963. Okay, a 2007 911 Turbo differs significantly from the Camelot-era 130 hp 911 2.0. But the important parts, the ones that cause kids to start hoarding their allowances, are the same now as they were forty-three years ago. The 911 still uses a rear-mounted, horizontally opposed six-cylinder that makes noises like nothing else on the road, and it&amp;#039;s got an iconic silhouette.
