Bugatti Veyron
The breathtaking Bugatti Veyron, named after the racing driver Pierre Veyron, is a remarkable high-performance vehicle which provides a scintillating driving performance.

You may have to join a lengthy waiting list to drive this luxurious vehicle, but it is sure to worth the wait. The Rolls Royce Phantom is a beautiful car which offers the pinnacle of luxury. It is sure to turn heads thanks to its stunning design, plus the upmarket interior feels more like an elegant lounge than a cabin. The bespoke craftsmanship is something to behold and the driving experience is highly enjoyable thanks to the V12 engine and strong road presence.

Lamborghini Aventador
A truly stunning high-performance vehicle which utilises the tradition from the Italian brand along with innovation for a revolutionary sports car. With a 6.5-litre v12 engine and 730 bhp, the performance is staggering with top speeds of 217 mph and a 0-62 time of a mere 2.9 seconds. It is also a joy to drive thanks to the superb hand-finished interior with high-quality materials and cutting-edge technology.

Maserati GranTurismo
Cars do not come better looking than the Maserati GranTurismo, which is sure to turn heads wherever you go thanks to its gorgeous design. It is also a head turner due to the powerful V8 engine allowing top speeds of 183 mph and a 0-62 time of 4.9 seconds. This is widely considered to be one of the best looking cars available, but it is much more than an attractive vehicle and any owner will enjoy the thrill of getting behind the wheel and putting their foot down. The Maserati GranTurismo can be found for around £50,000 in the used car market, but you may need to find a specialist dealer.
