Editors' Most Wanted Vehicles for 2007

Exotic (Coupe and Sedan)

Winner: 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and 2007 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Sedan

Ferrari's goal with the 599 GTB was to create a new model with performance capabilities equal to the legendary F40 and grand touring capabilities superior to the 575M. With its 612-horsepower V12, a 0-60-mph time of 3.7 seconds and a copious list of modern luxury features, it succeeded.

Bentley's Continental Flying Spur offers class-leading performance and luxury in an alluring four-door sedan package. The 6.0-liter W12 engine offers up 552 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, the latter available at a relaxed 1600 rpm. The robust engine sends power to all four wheels, while the adjustable suspension and massive brakes easily manage the titan's 5500 pounds with the expected British panache.

Honorable Mention: 2007 Bugatti Veyron and 2007 Maserati Quattroporte Sedan

It takes a special kind of buyer to appreciate 1001 horsepower and 250 mph — particularly when that buyer needs to pony up $1.3 million to play. If the Bugatti Veyron's $1.3-million price tag is too much, don't fret. You can lease one for a mere $24,000 a month. A car like this is all about the numbers: 8.0 liters, 16 cylinders, 4300 pounds, zero to 60 in 3.2 seconds and zero to 250 in 55 seconds.

When seeking an exotic sedan you need the right mix of features. An Italian nameplate with a storied race history makes a good starting point. Throw in a sensual body encasing a plush interior and you're getting closer. Finish it off with a capable mix of performance and premium features, and you're left with the Maserati Quattroporte. Here's a car that will get you where you need to be, courtesy of its 4.2-liter 394-horsepower V8 and F1-style, six-speed sequential gearbox. La dolce vita!
