When it comes to cars, luxury is self-evident. The pedigree brands have been driving the luxury trends for decades now. Porsche, Chevrolet, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW occupy pretty much the entire galaxy of potent engine power combined with high-quality and class. The best luxury sports car is more than the brand. It’s the brand plus an unmatched driving experience.
What is the Best Luxury Sports Car for 2016? …We Simply Can’t Decide!
So we’ve compromised. We selected the top three stunners of the year. Add competitive pricing to the torque-rich, rocket-blasting engines and you’ve got yourself a winner. Or three.
Porsche 718 Boxster
The Porsche 718 Boxster races ahead to the top of the luxury car market. The number 783 is synonymous to muscle power with a green conscious. With the latest Boxster edition, the high-end brand gets even fitter for saving the environment with a four-cylinder turbo engine where a previous six-cylinder power torqued away.
Apart from the tailpipes breathing less noxious fumes, a 7-inch touchscreen entertainment system will keep car addicts constantly late for dinner. Not to worry, though, you can improve on your tan in a flash. The convertible top takes no more than 10 seconds to pop open. That won’t even leave enough time for the sun to disappear behind the clouds.
Price: $53,150 – $83,150
Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Manual
Corvette annihilates even the best luxury sports car from stoplights. The statement is the opposite of empty marketing. The brand has been parked on that spot higher up the pecking order from the early ages of upscale vehicles.
The Stingray features a 6.2-liter V-8 engine that puts out 455 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. It purrs beautifully and addictively, but also performs to the highest expectations. If you’re hard to please, add a couple of hundred of horsepower and torque to the Stingray and you’ll be acquainted with the Z06. This high-performance sibling vehicle will certainly do its best to keep you in the family of Corvettes.
Taking corners, in case you didn’t know, is achievable even when handling a beast of muscle power like the Z06. So don’t keep that Corvette locked in the garage just for that special open road. It will only go bunkers from zero to 60mph in 2,95 seconds if you tell it do so.
Price range: $55,400 for the Stingray model to $79,400 for the Z06.
Jaguar F-Type
The Jaguar F-Type keeps popping up in our posts. We just can’t get enough of this top-tier car with a British accent. Luxury vehicle aficionados who settle into the Jaguar’s cockpit can help but feel a rush of adrenaline predicting that supercharged V6 engine’s throttle.
The F-Type’s smooth and responsive automatic transmission is the talk of the town, while its athletic handling in negotiating those corners has pleased many test drivers.
Beside potent acceleration and kinetic design, the Jaguar world-class beauty makes a compelling case as the best luxury sports car in 2016.
Price: $62,395
Tough as it is to nominate the best luxury sports car on the road, we think we’ve at least managed to unjam the traffic. Especially since we’ve succeeded in achieving a noble compromise. Our bespoke vehicles symbolize more than the logo on the trunk. They also stand for quality, design, and comfort.
