Bentley, a brand more often associated with expensive grand tourers, comes in fourth place.
With nearly comparable speed and acceleration ratings to the DB11, the Continental, notably the W12 Mulliner model, can keep up with the best of them.
Finally, in fifth position is a long-running supercar classic, the Porsche 911 Turbo S coupe type, which tops out at 330km/h and has a lightning-fast acceleration time of only 2.7 seconds.
Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lexus, Nissan, Jaguar, and Toyota are among the other brands with excellent performance stats.
