BMW 7 Series
2015 will mark the final lap around the track for the current 7 Series, with the 2016 set to arrive this fall. The matriarch of BMW is still offered with gas-powered, diesel-powered or hybrid drivetrain. Note its exclusive 6.0L 535-hp twin-turbo V12, reserved for the 760Li rear-wheel drive. The rest of the lineup (except the hybrid) benefits from xDrive all-wheel drive. The short wheelbase is reserved for the 750i and for the B7 Alpina sports car.
