The Aston Martin Vanquish may be the perfect automotive metaphor for absolute power corrupting absolutely. This British Grand Tourer packs a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, sending a hypercar-like 824 horsepower to the rear wheels only. If you can manage the grip well enough, Aston Martin says the Vanquish Coupe can hit 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, while the drop-top Volante takes 3.3 seconds.
