When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.

Car manufacturers make the most of their money by selling cars but there are other revenue streams. One of the most lucrative methods to increase profits is to sell parts to other companies. Combustion engines are typically the most complex pieces of hardware, so there’s serious money to be made there. BMW knows that better than most other automakers.

The Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe isn't exactly subtle. With its angry face, muscular bulges, and coupe-like roofline, the big Benz is the preferred choice of propulsion for those who like to be seen.

Having been launched back in 2015, the Audi A4 was in dire need of a replacement. The all-new model is finally out, and it goes by another name. The A5 Sedan and A5 Avant replace the old A4-badged models and come along with spicy S5 performance versions. However, we should clarify the A5/S5 Sedan is not a sedan in the truest sense of the word. It has a more practical tailgate instead of the traditional trunk lid. In other words, it’s effectively a replacement for the old A5 Sportback.

The super sedan isn't dead yet, far from it, in fact. It seems there are still drivers who prefer their sports cars with four doors. Another thing that just won't end is the horsepower war that continues to wage on, year after year. With EV manufacturers leaning towards sedan platforms, there has been a resurgence in sports sedans popularity. The EV market has cooled off more than most expected, with many reverting to hybrid tech. Because of that, we still luckily have a decent variety of sporty gas-powered sedans at our fingertips.
