(omitted the Audi as the S8 came out in 2021)

Also, my choice is Merc.
 
I would choose the Alpina if that grill weren't so bloody large.

Merc.

Ahahahaha. It will come out in 2021. My bad. Omitted it due to lackluster power figure as well. A true comparison would be to use the S8 Plus model but we don't have that on the D5 chassis yet. The D4 S8 Plus made about 597 HP.

The Alpina and the S63 make 600+
 
The Benz is my choice.
 
Mercedes-AMG S63.
 
Mercedes AMG S65

Now for my duel

Lancia Gamma.

Would the Audi 100 Avant (C2, 1976-1982) fit into this group?

It would, but its too late now I think.
Fair enough. And to be honest, I still wouldn't change my vote. I love that Gamma.
 
You live in Los Angeles and the year is 1930. You’re fortunate enough to be able purchase a brand new car but you can only afford a roadster that’s pretty inexpensive and economical. You have your eye on a new American Austin. Cute little thing, gets over 40 MPG. But you also like the new face-lifted Ford Model A for 1930. For a little more money, you can purchase one. It has more space and power and is much larger than the American Austin but is less economical and harder to navigate through the bustling city. What is your choice?

1930 American Austin 2-Place Roadster
Price: $475 / Engine: 0.8L L-head I4 / Power: 15 HP / Top Speed: 50 MPH

The Austin is too cute to ignore, I'll go with that.
 
Early 90s F1:
Mclaern MP4/6: 505 kg 708 bhp v12 and manual gearbox

Williams FW14: 700BHP 505KG and sequential gearbox

American Austin without a hesitation.
I'll have to pass on the F1 cars. I could never get inside it, much less drive it.
 
Williams, it’s got a ton of driving assists and a sequential gearbox to help me survive a bit longer than in the McLaren
