If you are in the mood to spend big dough, then you’re ready for our Drivers’ Choice Dream machines. Leading MotorWeek’s trio of desires is the Jaguar XKR. This 420-horsepower supercharged feline combines the sports car prowess that originally made Jaguar such an icon, with an uncompromising attention to finesse and detail that is a hallmark of the brand’s posh sedans.

Even more rarified is the latest V12 prancing horse, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. With drop-dead gorgeous Pininferina styling, and a richly serious driver-oriented two-seat cabin, the all-aluminum, 611-horsepower 599 rewards a select few with a level of GT style and performance that is muscular yet spare.

When it comes to living a dream, our fully conscience choice is the latest Porsche 911 Turbo. The 911 Turbo fuses with our grey matter on a super human level for super car performance. With 480 twin-turbo horses, it can flash past by like a vision, yet deliver a down-to-earth feel that connects with the road, and the driver, at every level.
