Best New and Used Luxury Sports Cars to Buy in 2025

A luxury sports car may seem something of an oxymoron, with the textbook sports car blueprint tending to showcase a car with stiff suspension, a stripped out interior and an exhaust note that will become tiresome on a long journey. But, times change and in today's modern world, you can most certainly have your cake and eat it.

Sure, the sports car label is quite broad in today's automotive offerings, with sports coupés, performance saloons, and some cars seen differently altogether depending on who you ask, but add in luxury and some brands showcase it more than others.

Below we list our top picks.

• Porsche 911
• Aston Martin Vantage
• Mercedes-AMG GT
• Jaguar F-TYPE
• BMW M8 Competition

Porsche 911

Arguably the world's greatest sports car, the Porsche 911 has a legacy like no other. First appearing in 1963, the legendary 911 has enjoyed eight generations, which has led to today's 992 variant, which still features the iconic silhouette of the '60s original.

What is brilliant about the 911 is the sheer number of variants available, ensuring you can tailor your perfect 911 to be as hardcore or luxurious as you desire. Sure, a GT3 RS is more of a hardcore version of the 911, ideal for demolishing track times on infamous tracks like the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and of course causing a wow factor like that of a supercar, some people even consider it to be a supercar. On the other hand, you can have a base Porsche 911 Carrera which caters for more of an ultimate refinement and luxury vibe, along with having superior performance thanks to 389bhp, ensuring a 0 to 62mph time of 3.9 seconds.

Or, if you require supercar performance in your luxury sports car, then a 911 Turbo S with 701bhp, a top speed of 200mph and 0 to 62mph in 2.5 seconds should fit the bill nicely, and adds in even more of a luxury feel. You can even find Cabriolet and Targa versions of the 911 too, adding to the luxury of choice.

Aston Martin Vantage

The Aston Martin Vantage is a definitive front-engine, rear-wheel drive, luxury sports car. Today's generation offers a gracious, yet muscular physique which gives the Vantage an unmistakable presence.

There is also an air of true luxury with an Aston Martin that some cars just cannot compete with, it extends to more than just the interior quality. The Aston Martin aura certain plays a huge part too, and the colossal power under the bonnet ensures it is not just all show. A standard Vantage offers 656bhp, ensuring a 3.5 second 0 to 62mph time, along with a top speed of 202mph. Vantage S models are quicker still if only by a tenth of a second.

Q by Aston Martin also means that when buying new, you can tailor even more luxury and individuality to your Vantage, enhancing the car further to your exact requirements. The Aston Martin Vantage is a car that can cocoon you in pure luxury in GT mode, but step on the accelerator or switch to Sport or Sport+ and the Vantage unleashed the monster performance which lies beneath the bonnet, and can be felt in the cars finely tuned chassis and suspension set-up. You can also find the Vantage in a Roadster variant, too.

Mercedes-AMG GT

Mercedes-Benz are known for their luxury, but their AMG department are known for their high performance. Blend them together and you get some pretty serious high performance cars, with the Mercedes-AMG GT hitting the spot if you are after a sports car with added luxury.

The AMG GT has a gorgeous flowing silhouette, which is 40mm wider and 180mm longer than the predecessor, giving the car a dominating presence, letting everyone know who casts their eyes over it that it is a product from the AMG arm of Mercedes-Benz.

The interior is ultra-luxurious too, with enhanced Nappa leather, and carbon fibre, along with a neat and crisp digital ambiance. And depending on the drive at hand, despite the car being a Mercedes-AMG, you can dial it back into Comfort when cruising along, giving the feel of a traditional Mercedes-Benz. But, this is an Mercedes-AMG, so find yourself on a nice bit of road, or perhaps even a track, and you can ramp up the car's character thanks to Sport, Sport Plus and Race modes. You can also find the AMG GT in a Convertible version, too.

Jaguar F-TYPE

Jaguar have an illustrious history when it comes to sports cars, and luxury. The Jaguar E-Type is arguably one of the prettiest cars ever made, so when Jaguar decided to make a spiritual successor, it had a lot to live up to the legend.

The result, a luscious two-seater luxury sports car available as a coupé or as a roadster, with either a euphonious V6 supercharged engine, or symphonic V8 engine. You can also find the F-TYPE with a turbocharged flat four, which has its own character, but it simply does not sound as luxurious and rich as its V6 and V8 siblings.

Like the Aston Martin Vantage, the F-TYPE has its own aura, perhaps due to the sound and legacy of the Jaguar brand. Inside you will find versions with enhanced Windsor Leather, carbon fibre and suede. Older models feature a more old school vibe, whilst later versions have a more crisp digital interior, meaning you can have your F-TYPE with a more classic or modern feel, whichever you prefer.

BMW M8 Competition

M stands for 'Motorsport' when it comes to BMW M cars, and although some may class the M2, M3 and M4 as sports cars, or performance cars, are they really luxurious enough? Sure they are premium, but luxurious? The M8 Competition though, well, it is a different story. It sits as the flagship M car for those who do not want an SUV, and features an enhanced interior over its smaller siblings, and it still has the devastating high performance an M car is known for.

Under the bonnet lies 616bhp, good for 0 to 62mph in just 3.2 seconds. However this is an M car, so it can easily exploit its motorsport DNA when provoked, so track and fast road driving are sure to excite those behind the wheel.

And as for luxury, the M8 Competition gets Merino leather, which is a higher quality, finer grain, which is also joined by motorsport favourites like carbon fibre pieces too. Enhanced audio and ambient lighting also ensure the interior has a more luxurious feel. Sure, the M8 Competition may not feel as luxurious as some of those aforementioned, but it sure feels like a more luxurious and sophisticated M car. Like the rest of this list, you can find an alternative Convertible version, along with a Gran Coupé version, too.
