BMW · 2017 750i

Frozen Black matte paint outside, red leather inside — this G11 750i skipped the grey-suit dress code. Underneath sits a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with 450 hp and all-wheel drive: 4.7 seconds to a hundred in a car that still rides the way a flagship should. It is the 7 Series for people who drive themselves and enjoy it.

For Georgia it covers both briefs at once: imposing outside a Tbilisi restaurant at midnight, unshakeable on the wet highway to Batumi. At its daily rate it undercuts every rival with an engine like this. Delivery and insurance included — rent a BMW 750i in Georgia and take the long way back on purpose.
