Pick up the new S65 if you dont mind the $$. I also recently saw the new Audi S8 on the road. Looked gorgeous, and i'm sure there is plenty of power in that.
I really can't spend more than 85k, what about a used Maseratti sedan?

My vote goes to the S55- super comfy, and tons of power and torque. Worlds above the A8. The Maserati is not the most reliable car on the market, and making constant trips to the dealer sucks.

E39 M5 with an offensively large blower, or an 850CSi (if you can find one) with the same.

Any one that is looking to sell one. So long as you show up looking like someone who could afford to buy the car. Sometimes they are quick to judge. If you are seriously interested I'm sure Bill and/or I could get you seat time in one at Bentley Long Island.

"Old" S65? It does stretch your budget a little as they are just around 100k ... but it does have some oomph. That's if you don't mind going used (although I hardly consider a 5k miles car really "used").

Used (10-20k miles) S600 are well within your price range as well, and still have 500hp as well.

I agree 100%. Once one of the DA twins or an S3 comes up for sale I will be there.
