The Most Promising Luxury Cars of the Near Future
The automobile industry is continuously pushing the envelope not just in terms of technology, but also luxury. The future holds much in store for those who appreciate luxury cars, and there are many exciting new models to look forward to. The top manufacturers are clearly reacting to new trends within the industry, such as electric powertrains. With that said, some things never change. Luxurious details are always important, no matter what century you might find yourself in.
The 2022 Aston Martin Vanquish
The new 2022 Vanquish is just one of many vehicles that Aston Martin has announced for the future. We’ll have to wait just a little bit longer until the release of this vehicle, as the fabled Valkyrie will be the first to hit the streets. While Valkyrie definitely more of a sports car, the new Vanquish will provide the luxurious experience we have come to expect from Aston Martin. Rest assured that almost everything about this vehicle will be updated, and there will be very little remaining from past Vanquish models. Expect a distinctive, eye-catching clamshell design, twin-turbocharged engines, and up to 700 horsepower.
The Audi E-Tron GT
We first caught a glimpse of the upcoming Audi e-tron GT at the International Auto Show in 2018, which took place in Los Angeles. Over the past few years, auto enthusiasts have become very interested in the development of this project, and many of us are now desperate to get our hands on one. If the rumors are true, we won’t have to wait too much longer.
As the name suggests, the e-tron will be a fully electric vehicle with two motors; one at the front, one at the rear. They will combine to generate 469 horsepower in normal driving mode, which increases to 522 horsepower when launch control is activated. This translates to a zero-to-60 speed of 3.9 seconds. However, if you really want the latest in electric motor technology, opt for the Audi RS e-tron GT. This upgraded model boosts its horsepower up to 637 and achieves a zero-to-60 speed of 3.1 seconds. The price for the RS is rumored to be $139,000.
The 2024 BMW i8 M
The much-anticipated BMW i8 M is expected to hit the market in 2024, but the car has been making the rounds at various shows over the years. Now, the official name for this vehicle has not yet been released, and the moniker “i8 M” is really more of an informal nickname given to the car by journalists. What we do know is that that this vehicle will be a halo plug-in hybrid. The concept cars that we’ve seen have been stunning, and this might just be the next “must-have” luxury car.
