List prices suggest that, depending on the variant you choose, you'll probably be paying somewhere from just under £140,000 to just over £165,000 once you've allowed for a few well chosen extras.

That equates to a premium of around £13,000 over the fixed-top Coupe bodystyle. There's also a £13,000 premium to find if you want to progress from the 500bhp V8 to the 567bhp W12 variant, with a further £16,000 to find on top of that if you want the marginal extra performance of the flagship Speed model.

Whether you choose the 500bhp 4.0-litre V8, the 567bhp 6.0-litre W12 or the 616bhp W12 Speed, you'll find most of the expected features appropriate to such an expensive car.

In second generation guise, these include a re-designed colour touchscreen 30GB infotainment system with an SD card reader, able to store up to 15GB of music you'll be listening to on nothing worse than an 8-speaker, 8 channel set-up.

Built in is satellite navigation with dynamic route guidance, seven-digit postcode entry and Google map compatibility. Safety has been as carefully considered as you would expect, with twin front, side and curtain airbags, plus a driver's kneebag, active anti-whiplash head restraints and the usual electronic aids for braking, traction and stability control..
