In the past, there were mainly two types of high-end sports cars; those meant to exemplify true luxury and those designed to deliver raw power and speed. But now, there's a new breed of super sports cars that offer the best of both worlds. Buyers looking for that dream combination of sporting performance and high-end luxury in one stunning vehicle will be pleased to know that among the most anticipated sports cars of 2021 is a good number of luxury supercars.
The luxury sports cars featured on this list are powerful, fast, and feature the most luxurious interiors. Luxurious enough to rival the Bentley Mulsanne's and Mercedes Maybach’s of the modern world. Every motoring purist will love these ten cars whether they care about speed, handling abilities, or the cabin design.
10 2021 Chevrolet Corvette
The Chevrolet Corvette has always been an iconic car since its introduction more than six decades ago, and the latest iteration is no different. The 2021 Corvette Stingray is a joy to drive, whether on busy city streets or winding roads on hills. The steering is quick, precise, and perfectly weighted, and its mid-mounted 495-hp V8, the first of its kind in a Corvette, puts down the power with authority.
The Corvette boasts a stylish and futuristic interior that wouldn't look out of place on the high-end, much pricier European cars. Most surfaces are trimmed with top-class materials like leather, soft-touch plastic, aluminum, and, in higher trims, carbon fiber.
9 2021 Toyota Supra
When Toyota announced that it was bringing back the Supra, a wave of excitement swept through the motoring industry. The Supra is one of the most excellent Japanese sports cars of all time, loved by many for its stylish looks, powerful engine, ease of customization, and its role in the Fast and The Furious films.
The 2021 Supra follows right in the footsteps of its predecessors. It offers a fantastic driving experience, thanks to a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine that's paired with crisp and responsive steering. The Supra's interior is sleek and finished in high-end materials like soft plastic, metal accents, and padded upholstery.
8 2021 Audi TT
The 2021 Audi TT is an impressive little sports car with agile handling and energetic turbocharged acceleration. The most remarkable quality about the 2021 Audi TT is just how much fun it is to drive. It feels nimble around turns, and its suspension does a great job of minimizing body lean.
The TT is offered as a coupe or convertible, and both provide top-notch cabin materials, comfortable seats, and a variety of intuitive tech features. Most surfaces are covered with top-of-the-range materials like black leather, crisp aluminum, and soft-touch plastic, and the knobs and buttons operate with precision.
7 2021 BMW 8-Series
BMW knows how to build excellent cars, and the 2021 8-Series shows that. BMW offers this beautiful car in three trims; those who want the authentic sports car experience can opt for the two-door coupe or convertible, while those who want a bit more space and practicality can get the four-door Gran Coupe.
The 8-Series is offered in three powerful engine options, all of which offer thrilling acceleration. As anyone would expect from a BMW, the cabin is top-notch and full of advanced tech features. Drivers will love the massive touchscreen on the dashboard from which they can control their infotainment system and other features.
6 2021 Jaguar F-Type
Throughout its history, Jaguar has produced many iconic sports cars, including the E-Type and the C-Type. Launched in 2013, the F-type is another Jaguar model that has drawn a lot of interest from automotive enthusiasts due to its sporty design and excellent driving dynamics.
Available in coupe and convertible body styles, the 2021 F-Type is Jaguar design in its most athletic form. It's lean and elegant from every angle. Several engine options are available, including a punchy 5.0-liter V8 that churns out a whopping 575 horsepower. Drivers will love the leather-wrapped surfaces and soft-touch plastics all over the interior.
5 2021 Nissan GT-R
The legendary Nissan GT-R is a supercar known for its gut-punch acceleration. Having been in production for more than ten years with relatively few updates, the GT-R had started to fade, but the 2021 iteration is looking like it's going to reclaim Nissan's lost glory and regain some fans.
A twin-turbocharged V6 engine provides 600 horsepower, while a six-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel-drive work together to propel the GT-R to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. Inside, the front seats offer plenty of room, while the rear seats have just enough space for small kids – more than generous in a sports car. Some of the luxurious elements in this car include leather-covered upholstery, heated seats, dual-zone climate control, and more.
4 2021 BMW Z4
There's nothing more entertaining than putting the top down on a beautiful day and finding a fun road to cruise on, and the BMW Z4 is perfect for such an activity. Buyers can choose between a twin-turbocharged inline-six engine or a twin-turbocharged four-cylinder, both of which are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Like other current BMW models, the Z4 has one of the best interiors in its class. It features luxe materials, excellent control placement, and exceptional panel fitment. Synthetic leather upholstery comes as a standard feature, while genuine leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and heated seats are optional.
3 2021 Acura NSX
The Acura NSX is not an ordinary sports car. It's rare, obscure, and even though it lacks the Italian supercar pedigree, most automotive purists adore it. The 2021 NSX is all about performance; Acura pairs a mid-engined 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with an electric motor, resulting in 573 horsepower and 476 pound-feet of torque.
As for the styling, the NSX hits all the supercar cues beautifully; it's distinctive but familiar, cohesive, and utterly exciting. The interior is pleasantly minimalistic, with almost every surface covered in high-quality leather.
2 2021 Porsche 718
Although the Porsche 911 gets all the praise, some say that the 718 is the better car, especially considering that it delivers a similar driving experience for a much lower price. There are two types of Porsche 718s; a closed-top version known as the Cayman and a convertible version known as the Boxster.
The 718 comes standard with a 300-horsepower turbocharged engine paired with a standard manual transmission to deliver the sportiest experience. The 718's mid-engined layout gives it a low center of gravity and excellent weight distribution, ensuring that it's perfectly at home, whether on a highway or a track.
1 2021 Porsche 911
Although many cars have tried to take its crown, the Porsche 911 remains the greatest sports car of all time. The 2021 Porsche 911 promises a fantastic driving experience thanks to its sturdy turbocharged engine, poised body control, and precise steering.
One of 911's best qualities is that it doesn't sacrifice comfort and luxury for performance. Thanks to Porsche's adaptive suspension system, the 911 rides like a luxury sedan, even at high speeds. The interior is elegant, and even though there are plenty of modern features, it still maintains some details evocative of previous 911 generations, such as the left-sided ignition switch.
