There’s no combination in the automotive world quite like a car that’s fast and luxurious
. These two features are a dynamic duo, guaranteed to make anyone turn their head as these types of cars speed by
, leaving just a cloud of dust in their trail. There are tons of great, fast luxury cars on the market, but these five hold a special place in our heart. Jerry

, looks at some favorites. Lexus IS 250
The Lexus IS 250 is a luxury ride that provides speed, power, and comfort. But, we specifically love the Lexus IS 250 as a fast luxury car because the used versions are affordable and hold up well over the years. It made the top of Motor Junkie’s
list of 25 Fast Luxury Cars That (Mostly) Anyone Can Afford, and this car’s position is rightfully earned. The Lexus IS 250 is compact, easy to drive, and earned great reliability scores from Consumer Reports. Used models start around $25,000 and go up to around $35,000, depending on the model year.
Jaguar F-Type SVR
With a top speed of 200 mph, it’s no surprise that the Jaguar F-Type SVR makes this list, but we specifically love it because of its smooth handling and easy driving, even at speeds that high.
Autobytel
reports the SVR, the newest version of the Jaguar F-Type, has a 5.0-liter, V8 engine that supports up to 575 hp. It can climb from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, and the coupe can reach an even top speed of 200 mph. If you have the convertible, it can reach a top speed of 195 mph—imagine driving at that speed with the top down!Audi RS7
This European-inspired car combines the best of both worlds when it comes to luxury and speed. The latest performance version of the Audi RS7 has a twin-turbo 4.0-liter, V8 engine. Not only can that engine produce speed—going from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds—but it can also produce power, specifically 605 hp.
When it comes to luxury in this car, the seats are made of high quality materials that provide maximum comfort for the driver and passengers, plus there’s no shortage of high-tech features to utilize while driving.
Range Rover Sport
While Range Rovers aren’t typically known for their speed, the Range Rover Sport is an exception to this rule. The first generation of this car, which launched in 2005, supported a 4.4-liter, V8 engine, with both supercharged and standard versions available. It can reach up to 130 mph, which isn’t as fast as other cars on this list, but incredibly impressive for a Range Rover.
Plus, this is another fast luxury car that is also affordable. HotCars
reported that drivers who are willing to purchase a first generation Range Rover Sport can get all that speed and luxury for around $9,000. That’s a great deal—but when buying used cars, be sure to inspect them before purchasing and be conscious of the repair bills that might be coming down the line. Maserati Ghibli
When a driver comes down the road in a Maserati Ghibli, it’s no secret. These cars are fast, luxurious, and loud. If you want to make an appearance on the road, the Maserati Ghibli is definitely the car for you, which is why it earns a place on our list of fast luxury cars.
The engine producing that noise is a 3.0-liter, turbocharged V6 engine that can get from 0 to 60 mph in about 4.7 seconds. The interior is all Italian-leather, so drivers can sit in comfort as they listen to the roar of the engine.
