There is a good reason why luxury items are associated with status—they actually influence people to want to do business with you. It may be because people associate apparent wealth with good business acumen.
Sports cars are undoubtedly one of the most recognizable status symbols. Even when cars were first invented, it symbolized wealth for the car owner. Now, there are dozens of luxury model sports cars to choose from. The question is, what are the best sports cars of all time?
You can check out some of the most iconic models below.
1. The Porsche 911
The Porsche 911 is an iconic sports car with an iconic name. This car has been in production for over 50 years, meaning Porsche fans have dozens of designs to pick and choose from.
The racing pedigree for Porsche 911s is what gives it the prestigious reputation it has. Depending on the model, the engine comes as either a 3 or 3.7 liter twin-turbocharged flat-6.
2. The Mazda MX-5 Miata
Not only does the Miata have a sexy profile as a sports car, but it’s also touted as one of the most reliable models. It may not be the fastest on the list, but speed is not the only important factor in a good sports car.
3. The Bugatti Chiron
As one of the newer models on the list, the Bugatti Chiron was developed in France and introduced in 2016. It’s a beautiful two-seater with a sleek design better suited for sports car enthusiasts with a modern aesthetic.
This car features a quad-turbocharged W16 engine, a carbon-fiber body, and goes 0-62 mph in just 2.4 seconds. You can read more about its specifications in this guide.
4. The Mercedes Benz AMG GT
The coupe or roadster design of the Mercedes Benz AMG GT makes it immediately recognizable as a luxury sports car. Although this is a car with a professional racing pedigree, it can be set to comfort mode for smooth commuting.
5. The Chevrolet Corvette
What sports car list would be complete without the Chevrolet Corvette? This is another sports car that’s been in production for over 50 years—and for good reason too.
The newest iteration of the Vette is the C8, featuring a big, powerful 6.2 L LT2 V8. This model is perfect for someone who likes a studier sports car.
6. The Dodge Viper
When it comes to classic American sports cars, the Vette and the Viper were neck and neck. Unfortunately, the Fiat Chrystler group ended the production of this model in 2017.
The last version of the Dodge Viper topped out at 645 hp with a powerful 8.4 L V10 engine.
7. The BMW i8
This sports car is one of the most unique on the list for adapting to contemporary needs—this is a hybrid sports car. As expected, its electric design does limit its speed, but it can still hit 62 mph in 4.4 seconds. The best part is that sports car fans can enjoy a powerful machine while benefitting the environment.
Finding the Best Sports Cars of All Time
After reviewing the best sports cars of all time, it’s time for a test drive. Owning a sports car is far more satisfying than reading about sports cars. A mechanically savvy person could pick up an older model sports car and turn it into a DIY, fixer-upper project.
