Volkswagen Phaeton 6.0 W12(443bhp 413lb/ft)

Comes with the Bentley Continental GT 6 litre engine and with 4wd and DSG gearbox, Looks like a VW Passat so can park it anywhere doesn't get a second look on the motorway but can keep up with pretty much most things, and a stage 1 remap(£599 from AMD) will bring the power close to 480bhp and 450lb/ft and with the limiter removed can hit 200mph

It's just a jdm wrx with sti bodykit bolted on.
Hence why it has poverty spec brakes and bonnet scoop.

But being a JDM car it is still better equipped and more powerful than the equivalent UK model.

But to the OP, any car driven properly.
