Driven to Impress

Rolling Up to a New School

The car: Kia Soul



When you're part of the MP3 generation, horsepower and alloy wheels likely matter less than the type of music you download. So on your first day at a new school, you want style, of course, but also proper entertainment in the hippest, most affordable package. No car can deliver that better than the Kia Soul. Top models come with a bumpin' 315-watt audio system that has USB and auxiliary jacks for all of your digital audio files. It's a potential rave on wheels.

First Date

The car: Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé



Nothing conveys ultimate class and achievement more than a Rolls-Royce. Fabulously sensual and cosseting inside, this Phantom has to be the quietest, smoothest-running car ever made. Its endless, rear-hinged, power-operated doors make for the easiest and most graceful ingress and egress. A lady in a long silk evening gown will truly appreciate it.

When You’re in Vegas

The car: Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce



When you meet up with your posse, you want to show in no uncertain terms that you've made it. For this, a bright yellow Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is just what the doctor ordered. The 6.5-liter 670-horsepower V12 engine and rear-biased all-wheel-drive system will let you spin the huge rear gumballs and get the car sideways, just a bit.

The Ex's Wedding

The car: McLaren F1



You will no doubt want to affirm that you have more than successfully moved on and are leading a truly happy, fulfilling life. To this end, we recommend pulling up in a McLaren F1. Not a radical open-wheel race car from the eponymous Formula One team, but rather the stunning exotic designed by the visionary automotive artisans Gordon Murray and Peter Stevens. It has a full carbon-fiber structure and body and a 6.0-liter 600-horsepower V12 engine by BMW, and it can go 240 mph.
