If I were a rich man, I would definitely buy a Hellcat for the weekends. But as a daily driver, I'd pick something like the Audi RS7.
It's one of those cars that defies logic. How can something that looks like a regular German executive be so fast and so precise? Even though the 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine is getting old, it's still one of the best in the business. You can order one with 605 horsepower if the regular 560 hp version isn't enough. Plus there's a barrage of performance parts that you can add on.

In this case, the RS7 has been gifted with the Performance exhaust made by Akrapovic. It doesn't look that cool, but the carbon tips give you bragging rights over the standard model. Speaking of carbon fiber, we also see that it's been used for the mirror caps. These components are mainly for decoration, showing the world that a super-wealthy boss bought this RS four-door coupe.

Not that the basic model is cheap to begin with. The RS7 performance starts at €121,700. We have no idea why this color is called Zanzibar Brown, but it's a very nice creamy metallic color that makes the RS7 look like a Continental GT. Other cosmetic tweaks include 21-inch five-double-spoke alloy wheels in Anthracite Black. As you may have noticed, all the trim on the car has been blacked out.

It's a shame that the windows are tinted because the interior is pretty cool, too. They went for leather seats with Cognac Brown Alcantara inserts and stitching, Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System and a Cognac Brown / Black Leather perforated steering wheel. Every trim piece is now made from carbon fiber, including the dash, console, grab handle trim and seats.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
