The Bugatti Chiron. Simply put, the Chiron is a marvel of engineering and design. Powered by an 8.0-liter W16 engine, the Chiron can produce a mind-bending 1,479 horsepower and an electronically limited, top speed of 261mph. These numbers are staggering when one considers that the Chiron weighs in at over 2,600lbs. The Chiron is astonishing from start to finish and is what happens when one of the largest car manufacturers in the world chases automotive superiority. In addition to being one of the only supercars capable of reaching almost 300mph, it meets every crash, noise, and emission standard set worldwide. It is a true marriage of power and luxury, and driving the Chiron is unlike driving any other vehicle ever made. With a mile-long list of record-breaking numbers, a stunningly beautiful design, and unique drive-ability, the Chiron reigns steadfast atop our list.
The Tesla Roadster. It is hard to deny where the future of luxury automobiles is heading. Electric vehicles can produce more power, faster acceleration times, and are more sustainable than their combustion engine counterparts. Tesla once dominated this space through their presence alone, but now, newcomers in the electric automotive world have given rise to a very competitive landscape. Tesla’s response to its younger rivals is the all-new Tesla Roadster. This is a car that is reportedly capable of a 0-60mph time of only 1.9 seconds. If that is not fast enough, Tesla is offering the additional option of rocket-boosters! From the sister company of SpaceX, the Tesla Roadster is shaping up to be less of a road car, and more of a road rocket ship. The Tesla Roadster earns this spot on our list as the luxury automobile for the future.
