It’s a rare car that allows you to be perfectly composed, effortlessly suave and extraordinarily violent all at the same time – and yet, somehow, the Ardent does all that and more. Behind the wheel of this masterpiece there’s nothing you can’t do: lose your pursuers, pop the dual machine guns, gun down the survivors, drop a pithy remark, open the champagne, have a quickie, drive into the sea, realize you’ve made a terrible mistake, and swiftly drown.
