TO HELP YOU SURF THE SWIRLING SEA OF AUTO OPTIONS, WE’VE PUT TOGETHER OUR ULTIMATE LIST OF LUXE RIDES; A CAREFULLY CURATED GUIDE TO ALL THE AUTOMOTIVE GOODNESS AVAILABLE TODAY.
Remember when the automotive world was a simple place to navigate? One in which choosing your new set of luxury wheels was as easy as picking the car you thought would turn your neighbors and colleagues the most vibrant shade of green?
Those times have changed, of course, and now there is a long and confusing list of considerations to tackle before you even start shopping. Will it be petrol powered? Or maybe electric? Or even a bit of both? Will you be doing the driving? Or will you be riding feet-up in the backseat? Do you want a two-seat speedster that’s as practical as see-through curtains? Or do you want a supercar SUV that will annihilate the school run?
THE HYPER GT
››› MCLAREN SPEEDTAIL
Raw numbers rarely capture the emotion of the most super of supercars, but when they’re as outrageous as the ones attached to the McLaren Speedtail, we really have no choice. Its twin-turbo V8 and electric-hybrid powertrain produce a staggering 772kW, pushing the Speedtail to 300km/h in just 12.8 seconds. That scenery-warping speed makes this the fastest McLaren of all time. Price: US$2.2 milliontheceomagazine.com
THE COMEBACK KID
››› ALPINE A110
The A110 is a classic reborn; a modern take on an iconic French racer that shone on rally stages across Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. Happily, this new one hasn’t strayed far from its lightweight roots. Namely a small(ish) engine (185kW and 320Nm) propelling a vehicle designed from the ground up with laser focus on reducing excess baggage and improving handling. Price: US$68,000
