Luxury can come in any type of vehicle, and has four features – performance, style, comfort and technology.
Performance means the vehicle is produced with quality, with long-term reliability and enjoyment in mind. Style can be the classic look of a brand like Mercedes-Benz, or the iconic look of a Porsche. Comfort is enhanced by ride-control features that give a smooth ride and well-appointed interiors made of high-quality materials. Technology aids the driver with parking assistance and a 360-degree sensor, among many luxurious touches.
There are many similarities between a coupe and a sports car. Both tend to have two doors and be lower to the ground and lighter than other models. A coupe with a high-powered engine and aerodynamic design is essentially a sports car.
What constitutes a sports car is up for debate. In essence, they are built for speed, stability, greater handling and superior maneuverability and agility for an enhanced driving experience.
Some of the makers of the best luxury cars are also the best luxury sports cars brands and include BMW, Porsche, Lamborghini, Alpha Romeo, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Lexus and Audi.
