It's got an R badge. Everyone knows R stands for Rpeed...
Sleepers is a name for cars which don't look like much, but have performance under the "sleepy" exterior - the opposite of ricing. Sleepers can be anything from supermodded cars that only look stock, to stock cars which are fast, but don't look like that.

Although it has a 6 speed, but it acts like a 5 since the last gear is a fuel efficient gear, in other words, it is there just to have a low engine speed, therefore saving fuel. So you'll notice the engine speed drops a lot and I mean A LOT. guess what, it can reach a higher top-speed in fifth then six.

Beg to differ.
Almost all top gears are there for that reason - low revs at motorway cruising speeds (70-80mph) - and, at peak power in top gear you will be at a lower speed than at peak revs in the next gear down - but at peak revs in top gear, should the car be able to achieve it and push past the aero limit, you will be going faster.
In the case of the S-Type R it's immaterial - the car is limited to 155mph anyway.

The Mercedes 190E Evolution Road car. Makes for a VERY excellent drift machine.

pretty much. For German cars, the autobahn, while technically having no limit, has an agreed suggested speed of 130 km/h(about 80mph). 155 mph is almost double that speed, and since driving at 155mph when everyone else is driving 75-85 mph is rather dangerous, companies do this both to preserve their customer base and to lower the company's chance of liability due to negligence.

The Subaru WRX STI spec C It's my fastest road car around Tsukuba (51's) faster than my AMG SLR and only 3s of my best time in my F1 car

Isn't it a bit too tough to beat a car with a PWR of 0.6 with a car of a PWR of 2.x at least? Either that, or you drove the F1 really bad.
On what tyres?

In Japan they are a very popular car at the touge.

The M5 will hit 210mph on Hunaudieres. And then crash into a pack of 186mph Lotus Carltons*
But, as pointed out, the S-Type R isn't limited to 155mph by aerodynamics, but by an engine limiter, exactly as with the M5, E55 and RS6. Nevertheless, this still means that the S-Type R doesn't have a higher top speed in 5th than in 6th, like you said.

TRD Celica
I know it seems silly to say the name of a "tuner" car in this thread but most people just don't think of Toyota and Celica as names to associate with tuning. Suprisingly though, the TRD Celica is one of, if not, the best FF car I have in my garage. 👍
I'll be back around with my picks for MR, FR and all the others a little later.
Edit:
Here you go! Jaguar E-type.
Used that for the european enduro series because it was my first prize car to fit the bill. Ended up being able to take max power easily and never stepped out of line even without settings work (too early in gt4 for me to try).

the Toyota Caldina.
Who would of thought that you can make 587 hp from a 2.0 4 banger.
The car is amazing 👍
