6. Lamborghini
Nothing screams luxury car brand like Lamborghini. The Italian giant has been consistently delivering high-performance vehicles that look as good as they drive for decades. Some of the brand’s most well known luxury automobiles came from the mind of founder Ferruccio Lamborghini, including the Miura, Diablo, and of course, the Countach. While these famous vehicles are no longer part of the current crop of Lambos, they showcase the history of this iconic brand and tie in with the new range of cars on offer.
While they have always been known for building fast cars, Lamborghini has made big strides on the tech side of things. They’ve introduced new navigation systems into their cars and have incorporated Amazon’s Alexa to help with voice controls. While small things, they add to the luxurious nature of models produced by Lamborghini.
7. Bugatti
Bugatti is such a famous luxury brand that electronic dance artist Tiga made a song named after the car. It’s actually surprising the Bugatti name lives on. Founded by Ettore Bugatti in 1909, the company went belly up in 1963. Thankfully Italian entrepreneur Romano Artioli purchased the brand in 1987 and revitalized the company. Volkswagen then took over in the late 90s to ensure Bugatti would continue as a company.
These days Bugatti is regarded as one of, if not the most luxury car brand in the world. Not only are the cars high performance, but incredibly expensive. There’s a reason why rappers always reference them in their songs. Having a Bugatti is a symbol of status. The most widely seen Bugatti is the Chiron, a two-door, mid-engined masterpiece with all the bells and whistles. Along with the Chiron, Bugatti is always releasing one-off or limited edition models that come with the latest tech to enhance your driving experience.
8. Lexus
The first Japanese car company on this list is also one of the most tech-focused. Lexus has always been ahead of the game when it comes to the driver experience, becoming one of the first luxury car brands to introduce premium audio systems in their cars. Their cars also have some of the best safety features, something Lexus prides itself on.
The company’s line-up of vehicles is impressive, catering to everyone from the single tech bros with the sporty Lexus LC to rich families with lots of kids with the practical but still luxurious Lexus GX II. Whatever Lexus you decide to choose (it’s hard to go past the Lexus IS), just know that you are getting a smooth driving experience like no other.
9. Ferrari
The Prancing Horse is one of the most recognizable logos in the world. It’s a fitting reminder of how great Ferrari is. The Italian manufacturer started by Enzo Ferrari has been getting it done for over 80 years. Over that time Ferrari has built some of the fastest and most luxurious cars ever to hit the road. Not only are the specs top of the line, but cars come with luxury interiors and all the modern gadgets that make sportscars so fun to drive.
Although Ferrari has always been associated with fast cars, no thanks to its participation in the F1, the brand caters to a wider range of people these days. They offer the usual selection of sports cars, but also luxury sedans and SUVs. The only downside is the cost. Only those with six digits in their bank account can afford a Ferrari. But if you have ever had the chance to sit behind the wheel of one of these beauties, you understand why they are so convented by motor lovers.
10. Rolls-Royce
Alongside Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce is the height of luxury British automobile manufacturing. The brand has gone through a number of different owners and company changes over the years but remains a leader in the luxury car market. Loved by everyone from rappers to movie stars, the current line-up of Rolls-Royce vehicles is to die for. These beefy, aggressive-looking powerful motors combine high performance with modern luxuries to create the ultimate driving experience.
The three main models are the Rolls-Royce Ghost, a four-door sedan, the Rolls-Royce Wraith, a sporty couple, and the Cullinan, a five-door SUV beast. Rolls-Royce also releases a variety of limited edition vehicles and offer plenty of customizable options for prospective buyers when it comes to interiors and extra features. This way you can get a car that suits your needs, both functionally and performance-wise.

11. Audi
Audi might not be the name that comes to mind when you think of luxury car brands, but the automaker has always been at the forefront of creating affluent vehicles. Along with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, the German brand is one of Europe’s best-selling luxury car manufacturers. It is currently controlled by the Volkswagen Group, which owns many of the major European car manufacturers building luxury vehicles. The cars are easy to drive, have eye-catching designs, and best of all, won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
Audi produces luxury cars that fall somewhere between a standard high-end car and a top-of-the-range sports car. There is a wide range of Audis to choose from, with the Audi R8 convertible coupe, Audi Q5 compact sedan, and Audi A8 luxury sedan just three of the brand’s flagship motors. If you’re after something with a little more speed, check out the Audi S and RS models. These aesthetically pleasing cars are part of Audi’s high-performance division and are for those with a little more money who want more power and speed in their luxury car.
12. Jaguar
Similar to some of the other luxury car brands on this list, Jaguar has gone through a number of owners over the years. Despite this, the company has continued to produce incredible luxury cars that tick all the boxes. The Jags of yesteryear are classic sports cars with a regal appeal, and while the contemporary versions are quite different, they still retain an elegance about them.
Jaguar sells a number of sedans and SUVs that combine sleek designs, powerful engines, and modern tech. For those wanting a little more speed, the Jaguar R and R-S/SVR models provide exactly that, although you’ll be forking out a few more dollars for those models. For the environmentally conscious, the new Jaguar I-Pace is the one for you. This all-electric SUV is one of the best on the market and was given a ringing endorsement by Top Gear who declared the I-Pace, “A rapid, desirable, good-looking car that happens to be powered by electricity.”
