When ordinary people first get their driver’s license, they usually start driving one of their parents’ cars. If they’re lucky or have saved up a decent amount of money, they might buy a new car. Usually, these cars are affordable (often second-hand), reliable and straightforward, like the Mazda 3, the Honda Civic, or the Toyota Corolla. But when you're one of the rich kids of Instagram and money is no object, your first car is likely to be something much more extravagant.

Updated March 2022: Car companies love catering to people with extremely high or unlimited budgets for cars, and the list of cars designed just for them gets bigger with each passing year. We've updated this list to include even more perfect first cars for rich kids to be driving in 2022.

This article will showcase some cars driven by those who flaunt their wealth and their luxurious cars on Instagram. While they come from different countries and backgrounds, they all share a penchant for luxury goods, fast cars, and ostentatious shows of wealth. Many of these individuals have multiple vehicles for different occasions and so often have the choice of several “first cars” upon receiving their driver’s licenses.

These individuals also regularly travel abroad and drive different cars in different cities. What constitutes the perfect “first car” obviously depends on where you live. A convertible Ferrari would be perfect for the coast of Florida but would get utterly destroyed in the snowy streets of Montreal during wintertime. Conversely, a luxury SUV, like the BMW X5 or the Porsche Cayenne, would be well suited to that type of climate. Regardless, here are the perfect first cars; if you're a filthy rich kid, that is.

23 Audi TTS

Every parent wants their child to be safe, especially when the weather is terrible. That's why the Audi TTS is the perfect rich kid car. It's excellent in the snow, from a certain point of view. The Audi TTS features AWD and the impracticality of having only two seats.

Starting at just over $50,000, the Audi TTS isn't the most expensive option, but it's about ten times as pricey as the average first car. Though the TTS looks good, it doesn't even feature the fastest specs, and BMW and Mercedes easily outclass it. These reasons make it the perfect spoiled rotten kid first car.

22 Tesla Model STesla Model S

We were excited to hear that the Tesla Model S would be affordable. What we didn't realize is that the cheap version is actually just a child's toy. But the real Model S is still firmly out of reach for most of us, unless you're a rich kid. The Model S starts at $99,000, and even with the government incentives, only millionaire kids can afford these.

Like the high-end Mercedes and the Porsches, the Tesla Model S features several luxury features, most notably autopilot, which rich kids love to show off on social media. Instead of watching the road, these rich kids are busy watching their followers and likes. What we wouldn't give for even half their money.

21 BMW M4

A dad on Quora recently gushed how his son, who's only 17, currently drives an $88,000 BMW M4. While a new BMW M4 starts around $72,000, this particular M4 clearly had some upgrades to push it close to $90,000. An absurd amount of money, even if you've saved years for it.

The BMW M4 stuffs a 3.0L six-cylinder that makes over 500 horsepower under the hood. It's hard to argue with the M4, though. The superb driving experience is aided by a refined manual transmission and adaptive suspension. Further, the M4 can hit 60 in less than 4 seconds, so highway driving is smooth for a newbie driver. It's just a shame you pretty much have to be a rich kid to get one.

20 BMW i8

Osborn Nweze is a Nigerian Prince who goes to the University of Surrey in Guildford, England. His car of choice for commuting to and from school is a $150,000 BMW i8. The i8 is one of the most futuristic-looking vehicles on the road with its butterfly doors and unique rear lights. The i8 is a great first car for a young, socially conscious millionaire, as the hybrid car is environmentally friendly.

The hybrid car combines a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and an electric one, producing a combined total of 357 horsepower. This allows the car to go from 0-60 mph in just 4.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 155 mph (although the i8’s top speed is 75 mph when running on electric power alone).

19 Bentley Continental GT

The Bentley Continental GT is another great first-time car for the rich and famous. Starting at $201,225, the Bentley is available as a four-seat coupe or as a convertible and comes in several different configurations, including the base-model 500-horsepower GT with a V8 engine, the 521-horsepower S version (also powered by a V8), and the top-of-the-line 582-horsepower model powered by a massive 6.0-liter W-12 engine. The mid-range model goes from 0-60 mph in just 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 188 mph!

27-year-old Lana Scolaro is a socialite, entrepreneur, and Instagram celebrity (pictured here with an all-gold Bentley GT).

18 Bentley Bentayga

The Bentayga is a “must-have“ vehicle for a wealthy teenager who won’t settle for less than the fastest SUV in the world.

Powered by a 6.0-liter W-12 engine, the Bentley SUV pumps out 600 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque and reaches a top speed of 187 mph. With a starting price of $231,825, only a select few can own this beast.

The car has several different driving configurations: Drift mode, Comfort mode, Sport mode, and Track mode. The 720S is a racecar, albeit a street-legal one.

The Jaguar XF is an excellent first car for an affluent person who wants an understated yet luxurious ride.

Starting at around $50,000, the car’s price can easily be doubled with added options. While the Jaguar XF isn’t cheap, it's still relatively modest and unpretentious when compared to some of the supercars featured on this list. The Jaguar XF is a well-engineered British luxury sedan and performs well with a 247-horsepower turbocharged engine.

The car was tuned by Weistec and featured a Meisterschaft exhaust and an Arma carbon-fiber air intake, which adds approximately 15 horsepower. The car sits on HRE wheels and has been lowered with KW suspension V3 Coilovers.

While the regular CLA 45 AMG produces 375 horsepower from its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, Kevin’s modifications bring his car’s total horsepower to 401. His CLA also incorporates cosmetic upgrades, including a matte-white wrap and a sporty rear wing. The CLA 45 AMG features Mercedes’s 4-Matic all-wheel-drive system and can seat five people.

She frequently travels and models high-fashion apparel. The blogger has many photos of her white Range Rover Evoque, which sits on black rims. The Evoque is a great first car, as it's small, stylish, and sporty. The small luxury SUV is around $40,000 and is a good car for driving around the deserts of Dubai.

The Range Rover Evoque is powered by a 240-horsepower turbocharged engine and has a nine-speed automatic transmission. The SUV can reach a top speed of 134 mph and goes from 0-60 mph in 6.6 seconds. One of the drawbacks of the Evoque is its poor fuel economy, with only 25 mpg (4 mpg lower than its EPA highway rating).

While the car isn't as fast as the 455-horsepower Chevy Camaro SS, it still hauls serious weight, as any classic American muscle should! Kadir’s white Mustang looks menacing with the added hood vent and black decorative accents. The GT can go from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds and revs to 7,000 rpm. The Mustang can be upgraded with the optional GT performance package, including large front brakes and high-performance Michelin tires.

This insane all-electric car has approximately 100 horsepower and goes from 0–62 mph in 7 seconds. The Twizy Sport F1 has a maximum speed of 68 mph and uses the same technology employed in Renault’s F1 race cars. One of these technologies is the KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which essentially captures energy that would've otherwise been wasted during deceleration and braking and then uses this energy to propel the car forward.

Sitorabanu Israilova (Instagram @sitorabanu) is a 31-year-old Russian model and entrepreneur who lives in Dubai. Her car of choice is the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, a $200,000 supercar manufactured between 2011 and 2015. With its gull-wing doors and wide body, the SLS is no ordinary Mercedes. The SLS AMG is a great first car for someone who wants to stand out and make an entrance. The car has 583 horsepower and a 6.2-liter V8 engine.

The rear-wheel-drive SLS AMG comes with 19" forged aluminum wheels and innovative safety features. The SLS is also a good investment, as it's maintained (and in some cases increased) its value compared to what the car cost when it was new! This is likely due to the rarity and iconic nature of the car.

Alexandra, who goes by @r35queen and calls herself “queenzilla,” upgraded from a Porsche Cayman GTS to the car she now drives: an R35 Nissan GTR, aka Godzilla (the successor to the Nissan Skyline GT-R). Alexandra definitely has good taste in cars and has made refined modifications to both vehicles. On New Year’s, her mom decided to tell her entire family that she races cars, and they all asked the same question: "Are you a boy?" Queenzilla coated her Porsche Cayman GTS, which she named “Penelope,” in a color-changing wrap and added an excellent rear wing.

The Cayman GTS is built on Porsche’s 982 chassis and costs about $80,000. The mid-engine GTS goes from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds with the optional automatic transmission and does it in 4.9 seconds with the six-speed manual gearbox.

6 Porsche Panamera

Lak is an entrepreneur who owns multiple businesses and lives in London. Lak owns a Porsche Panamera, which he wrapped in gold. The car sits on black rims, which look great against the gold body. The German four-door luxury sports car is priced somewhere between $97,300 and $182,700 and is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo premium unleaded V6 with 330 horsepower.

While the car is quite large, and one might expect it handles like a boat, the Panamera is surprisingly responsive. The rear-wheel-drive Porsche has a high-resolution digital display, touch-sensitive switches, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The touchscreen is intuitive, and like an iPhone, the user can swipe, touch, pinch, and zoom. The car is available as a hybrid vehicle or with a diesel engine.

5 The Mercedes-Benz AMG C63s

D. Lempert is a young, self-made millionaire from Berlin, Germany. The entrepreneur owns multiple AMG Mercedes cars, including an AMG GT, a GLE63s, a C63s, a convertible S 500, and several others. His Mercedes-Benz cars appear to have not been modified, as Lempert prefers factory wheels and paint jobs. Our favorite of Lempert’s cars is his C63s, the rear-wheel-drive 503-horsepower beast that's powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a seven-speed automatic transmission.

The C63 price starts at about $70,000 but quickly gets more expensive as high-end options are added. The best part of owning one of these AMG powerhouses is turning the car on and hearing the thundering sound of that V8 engine. The C63s is a cross between a muscle car and an ultra-luxurious family sedan.

Instagram user @zedsly, aka Zed, owns a Lamborghini Huracan, a Mercedes-AMG C63s ED1, and a BMW X5 M. His cars are ultimately murdered with matte-black-black-black wraps, smoked lights, and heavily tinted windows, giving them an aggressive and sinister appearance. The X5 M is an insane performance SUV that costs over $100,000.

Living up to the reputation of the BMW “M” badge, the X5 M sits on 21-inch rims and performs incredibly well, especially for an SUV. The X5 M has a whopping 567 horsepower and can go from 0-60 mph in just 3.8 seconds! The truck’s top speed is 160 mph, all the more impressive given that it weighs 2.5 tons. This performance is achieved with the help of the BMW’s 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 engine.
