We’ve just driven the 2015 Bentley Continental GT Speed and found it to be a stunning performance machine that’s more useful than it needs to be. If you can afford this $227,600 brute, we promise you won’t be disappointed.

Mercedes-Benz has revealed today its own 12-cylinder grand tourer: the 2015 S65 AMG Coupe. Instead of the Bentley’s W-12, the Mercedes gets a good ol’ V-12 that rates in at 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque.

Cadillac is out testing its latest-generation CTS-V, which we expect on the market late next year, as a 2016 model. The new CTS-V will feature a V-8, but what’s still up in the air is whether the engine will be supercharged or turbocharged.

You'll find all of this and more in today's car news headlines from around the High Gear Media network, right here at Motor Authority.
