Since the first car was introduced in 1886 by Karl Benz, the auto world has seen revolutionary improvements. Cars are no longer built as tools of transportation only but also as symbols of power and elegance. This is why some cars are extremely expensive for an ordinary person to afford. Some of these cars are not just expensive; they are stunners.
As technology keeps on advancing, the world’s obsession with cars keeps on growing, which has led to the creation of some wonderful cars. These are sports cars built with utmost precision from the inside out. They have curvaceous exterior styling and fire-breathing powertrains. Dive in for ten of the most beautiful cars in the market today.
10 Koenigsegg Gemera
The Gemera is the first Koenigsegg to have four seats. It is one of the most powerful and most expensive cars on sale today. The car comes with a mighty hybrid powertrain with a total power output of 1677 horsepower and has a starting price of $1.7 million. However, the massive price and power are not why the car appears here, but its elegant looks.
The car looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, with swooping curves and buttress exhausts. Koenigsegg utilizes stalk-mounted cameras in place of side mirrors. Inside the cockpit, one of the most outstanding features is the futuristic large infotainment screen. The Gemera is a pure work of art on four wheels.
9 Polestar 1
Polestar is a performance brand like no other. The company is focused on building beautiful electric performance cars. Their first creation, the Polestar 1, comes with design cues that make it look more of a high-style Ford Mustang but with a visible simplicity to its curves.
The car is beautiful from every angle, design and performance included. It is also not only a pretty hybrid plug-in but also one of the most expensive and quite exclusive. It is a rare electric car; the company builds only 150 units each year.
8 Porsche 911 Carrera S
The Porsche 911 has an outstanding history of beautiful models. There are no notable examples to prove otherwise, only a few examples like the 996 generation with headlights like fried eggs and maybe the 1980s 911 with not-so-lovely bumpers. That said, the 911 has consistently featured in everything that talks about beautiful cars all through its legendary history.
The latest offering in the 911 line-up, the 992-generation, is the most streamlined 911 model ever built. The car comes with huge hips, exotic clean lines, and smooth edges. The Carrera S is the ultimate representation of the classic 911 in a modern shell.
7 Maserati MC20
Maserati is working hard to reinvigorate its identity. Its desperate quest to do so brought about the MC20, a gorgeous modern performance car. Apart from its potent twin-turbo V6, this stunning mid-engine car features a beautiful design characterized by smooth edges. Its body looks as though it was designed by nature itself.
The MC20 boasts of purposeful uninterrupted lines and contours that run across the body. Its artfully sculpted roof and side vents make the MC20 stand out from cars of its ilk.
6 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
In the classic car world, Aston Martin DB5 stands out for its stunning design and build. The fact that the DBS Superleggera is featured here proves that the company is very committed to maintaining its reputation. The DBS Superleggera is Aston Martin’s newest creation and the best expression of its modern design language – beauty.
Although the DBS Superleggera is based on Aston Martin’s BD11, its bodywork is unique. The whale shark-like grille, squared-off rear, and wide fenders give the DBS excellent proportions. This car perfectly blends Aston Martin’s classic design with the futuristic design featured in the DB11 to present to the world one of the most elegant cars ever.
5 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
It’s impossible to separate Alfa Romeo from its pointy, shield-shaped grille, which looks stunning on the Giulia. From the front to the rear, the sport sedan comes with stunning bodywork. The car is perfectly proportioned. It has a long hood and modern cabin set back towards the rear. The car’s body surfacing and details make it quite elegant.
What makes the Giulia Quadrifoglio even more unique is that all models come with the same beautiful looks. Alfa Romeo doesn’t muck up the standard models to reserve the beauty for the range-topping ones.
4 Ford GT
The Ford GT released in 2020 is an updated version of the 2017-2019 GT with a powerplant producing around 447 horsepower. The latest GT has a newly-calibrated engine, improved cooling system, and higher energy ignition coils, among other advancements.
Apart from the improved performance, Ford rolled out a GT model wrapped in a completely naked carbon fiber body. The carbon fiber-wrapped GT comes with a higher starting price compared to the standard GT’s $500,000. Ford also rolled out an-all new GT with an updated Gulf Racing Heritage livery. The two models are as elegant as anyone would expect the GT supercar to be.
3 Audi RS6 Avant
The latest V8-powered RS6 Avant is a regular wagon on steroids. Every surface on this car is flexed and exaggerated. It features wide fenders and lowered ride height, giving the RS6 Avant an aggressive yet elegant road presence.
The RS6 Avant is a worth challenger to the Mercedes-AMG E63S at the top of the United States wagon market. The thrilling soundtrack from the twin-turbo V8 makes the driver want to keep going. Its driver engagement and overall performance go beyond what it says on paper.
2 Bugatti Chiron
The Bugatti Veyron was fast but ugly. Its successor, the Chiron, on the other hand, is quite a whole different story – quicker and elegant. The Chiron comes with a more aggressive build, with massive air scoops and vents. The entire rear end looks like a massive mesh grille with taillights protruding from its void.
The sides of the Chiron have massive C lines curving around the doors, visually splitting it into two sections. This separation also serves as the color division for Chiron’s two-tone paint job. The car is elegant, especially the Chiron Pur Sport.
1 Porsche Taycan
If all EVs looked like the Taycan, perhaps the world would be a little bit more welcoming towards them. This is arguably the best-looking electric car so far and provides hope for aesthetics in future EVs. The Taycan has four doors, and instead of a hatch, it comes with a trunk. It looks like a melted and stretched 911.
The Taycan gets its design from the Mission E concept – and got almost everything 100% right on that level of specialness. The perfect integration of smooth curves, wide hips, and low stance makes the Porsche Taycan a true beauty to behold.
