Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW and Maserati convetible comparison
|
Over at Auto-motor-und-Sport they have an article about their comparison test between four luxury convertibles that everyone drools about, maybe not the Jaguar, but surely the other three. Unfortunately, with Auto-motor-und-Sport you have to pay to get their actual data that they have collected and used to determine the winner. I will just list the positions they ended up in without having much data to support it.
Fourth Place: Maserati GranSport Spyder -- 402 out of 650 Points
Wildly roaring V8 meets twisting-joyful body, agile handling, but expensive maintenance.
Third Place: BMW 650i -- 478 out of 650 Points
Its 4,8-Liter controls are superb. In addition there is a lot of room, but reduced suspension comfort.
Second Place: Jaguar XK 4.2 -- 481 out of 650 Points
The Jaguar is comfortable, agile and safe to drive. Its 4,2-Liter worked in the comparison test somewhat sluggish.
First Place: Mercedes SL 500 -- 505 out 650 Points
The Mercedes is an expensive two-seater with a powerful engine, sporty-comfortable chassis and solid Vario Hardtop.
