These Are The Fastest Luxury Cars In The World

From the iconic Audi S8 to the elegant BMW 8-Series, the fastest luxury cars redefine modern-day engineering. With an innovative approach and top-tier aerodynamics, brands like Tesla, Lucid, and Mercedes-AMG elevate the driving experience to unparalleled heights.

Luxury cars have loads of features, great comfort, and a lot of relaxing equipment. Performance cars are all about weight savings, stiffer suspensions for better dynamics, and acceleration times that can give you whiplash.

Also, there’s been a demand for both speed and opulence in one car for quite a long time are featured in our curated list of fastest luxury cars.

Furthermore, some of the top luxury cars in this list can even reach the 60 MPH mark in just under 3 seconds. Let’s have a look at the top 23 fastest luxury cars:

23. 2023 Maserati Quattroporte Trofeo

The 2023 Quattroporte Trofeo stands at the top of the Quattroporte line-up. The Quattroporte is offered a choice between two different engines: a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 and a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8, which is exclusively reserved for the Trofeo version.

The twin-turbo V8 offers 580 hp and makes the Maserati Quattroporte Trofeo complete a 0–60 mph sprint in 4.2 seconds and can hit a top speed of 203 mph.

As standard, the Quattroporte is offered with an RWD drivetrain, while the AWD is a $4,500 option for the Modena trim only. The Quattroporte also received an MC Edition, which offers the same V8 as the Trofeo. The special edition model is a tribute to the company’s racing heritage. Moving on, the brand is aggressively adapting to the changing landscape with its new Grecale SUV and starting online retail services.

22.2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS is the German brand’s first take on the electric luxury sedan segment and has proven itself as one of the fastest luxury cars ever built.

The EQS stands next in line with two powertrains as options; however, the one in question is the EQS 580, which comes with a dual electric motor that makes the highest output of 516 hp and 611 lb-ft of torque. Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 hits 0–60 mph in just 4.1 seconds.

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 gets a base MSRP of $125,900 for the entry-level Premium trim. Key highlights of the EQS sedan include a panoramic sunroof, a Burmester 3D surround sound system, 64-color ambient interior lighting, 10-degree rear-axle steering, MBUX augmented video for navigation, heated and ventilated seats, etc.

21. 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQS 53

Electric cars are fast, especially when accelerating! The massive amount of torque available right from the beginning helps a lot in initial take-offs. The Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 might be a piece of heavy machinery with all the technology and a long-range battery in it, the dual electric motors produce Aventador-like power to push it to triple-digit speeds in just a few seconds. 

With all the luxury, the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 might be slightly slower than its competitors, like the Tesla Model S Plaid, Porsche Taycan Turbo S, and the BMW i7 M70, but it is big on range and creature comfort that you’ll barely find in its competitors. Currently, the 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 is priced at $147,550. 

The 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 comes with a dual electric motor setup, producing 751 HP and 752 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 137 mph. 

20. 2023 Audi S8

The 2023 Audi S8 is the sportier and more powerful version of the brand’s flagship luxury sedan, the A8. Starting at $116,900, the 2022 S8 ditches the A8’s turbocharged V6 in favor of a 563-horsepower twin-turbo V8 mild-hybrid engine.

The result is a 0–60 mph time of 3.8 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. For the same thing, the lesser A8 takes 5.6 seconds.

Depending upon your taste and needs, either of the two Audi sedans can be had, as both are high on luxury and performance. For the 2022 model year, Audi has revised the equipment list, but the mechanicals of the sedans haven’t been touched. The refresh mostly concerns minor tweaks to the front as well as the rear of the sedans. That said, despite the changes, both the 2022 S8 and A8 received a price cut this time.

19. 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

Italians are known for two things, pizza, and, second, “beautiful cars with screaming engines.” Now, beauty mostly comes at the cost of practicality; however, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is one of the most exceptional cars from Italy, and it gets a Ferrari-derived engine under the hood!

What’s better is that for this Ferrari-like performance, you won’t have to pay a Ferrari-like price, instead, it costs less than one-fourth of the Ferrari that gets a similar engine. Let me clear it out for you, the 296 GTB with the same engine comes in at nearly $3,50,000, whereas the Giulia Quadrifoglio has a base price of $81,960.

As of now, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio competes with the likes of the BMW M3 Competition, Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, and Audi RS5 Sportback.

The 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio comes with a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine producing 503 HP and 443 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 191 mph. 

18. 2023 BMW i7 M70

The 2023 BMW i7 in its M70 trim, becomes a torque monster in the German luxury EV segment. Since this is an EV, there’s no big change in the powertrain other than the increase in power. BMW has kept the front motor the same as the i7 but the rear motor now makes the additional horses push it to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds.

That time might not sound as cool as some other hot electric sedans, but consider all the luxury goodies that you get inside, along with a heavyweight body of about 7,000 lbs, and it starts to make sense. It is even heavier than the Cadillac Escalade V, which is known for being one of the heaviest SUVs in the segment. 

The 2023 BMW i7 M70 comes with a dual electric motor setup, producing 650 HP and 811 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 155 mph. 

17. 2023 Bentley Flying Spur

The 2023 Bentley Flying Spur is the British luxury car brand’s luxury four-door grand tourer. Starting at $236,025, the 2022 Flying Spur on our list is the fastest luxury car with four doors from Bentley that is powered by is powered by a 626 hp, twin-turbo W12 engine making 664 lb-ft of torque.

The result is a 0–60 mph time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 207 mph.

Apart from the above model, the Bentley Flying Spur offers two more options: a V8-powered model and a hybrid model. The latter is the newest addition to the lineup and comes with a 2.6-liter twin-turbo V6 engine and an electric motor. The result is a combined output of 536 hp and 553 lb-ft. The Flying Spur Hybrid does 0–60 MPH in 4.5 seconds.

16. 2023 Bentley Continental GT

The 2023 Bentley Continental GT is a performance-focused grand tourer from the luxury marque. Offered in four models, the 2022 Continental GT Speed is the fastest among them.

Priced at $274,900, the grand tourer is powered by a 650-horsepower, twin-turbo W12 mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. All that power makes sure that this over 5,000-pound car can do 0–60 mph in 3.5 seconds.

For such a heavy car, that’s a mind-blowing performance. To make this happen in the real world, Bentley had to make a lot of tweaks and modifications. Both the engine and its gearbox were retuned to squeeze out the maximum performance and at the same time keep the car always in its powerband. For the latter part, the upshifts were delayed while the downshifts were made to happen earlier.

15. 2023 Audi RS7

The 2023 RS7 comes as a second-generation model from the brand’s RS division. Think of it as the BMW M or the Mercedes-AMG of the world. The 2022 RS7 comes with a 591-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V8 engine that is mated to Audi’s 8-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox.

Power is sent to Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system, and in this setup, the RS7 can blast from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (which can be increased to 190 mph).

To achieve the above results, Audi introduces a lot of mechanical as well as cosmetic changes compared to the regular model on which the RS-version is based. Apart from the bigger and more powerful engine, the other mechanical bits that differ on the RS7 are the option of steel or ceramic brake calipers, performance tires, an RS-tuned adaptive air suspension, a sports rear differential, etc.

14. 2023 BMW 7 Series

When you take the BMW’s flagship luxury sedan, the 7 Series, and give it the Alpina treatment, the result is the 2023 BMW Alpina B7, which offers a fine blend of power, dynamics, and luxury.

It starts at $143,200 and comes with a 600-horsepower, bi-turbo V8 engine mated to a ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic gearbox. The 2022 Alpina B7 can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.

Apart from the blistering performance, the Alpina brand, which was recently acquired by BMW, showcases the finest craftsmanship and attention to detail. The key features on the BMW Alpina B7 that set it apart from the regular 7 Series include quad tailpipes, Nappa Leather upholstery, a 12.3″ digital instrument cluster, a 10.25″ central information display, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround sound system, etc.

13. 2023 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance

No car enthusiast was happy after Mercedes-Benz announced that the new C63 would get a turbo-four under the hood. Honestly, the C63 became an iconic sportscar because of its big V8 engine, and swapping it with an engine that comes with half the cylinders overnight, has hurt the whole car community. 

We still love the way BMW did it with the M3 and M4, choosing a 6-cylinder turbocharged motor instead of going directly to an electric-assisted four-banger. The same goes for the Audi RS5, so purists will take these instead of the Merc. 

However, the 2023 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance is pretty quick on its feet, all thanks to the electric boost and the phenomenal engine. At a base price of around $115,000, the 2023 C63 S E Performance tries to offer you the advanced technology from the flagship models of the lineup, like the GT63 S E, or the S 63 E Performance. 

The 2023 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 engine combined with an electric motor, producing 670 HP and 638 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 155 mph. 

12.  2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive

The M3 Competition is a car that steals all the spotlight for being a fun, powerful, quick, and easy-on-pocket sedan that can go sideways! But the most important thing about the M3 is the availability of a 6-speed manual transmission in non-X-Drive trim.

However, there is also an 8-speed automatic transmission on offer for those who chase the quickest 0-60 time. The 2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive comes at a starting price of $82,600 and competes with the likes of the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance, the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, and the Audi RS5. 

The 2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive comes with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine producing 503 HP and 479 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 156 mph. 

11. 2023 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S

The E Class sedan from the house of Mercedes-Benz has always been about superior comfort and outstanding ride quality at a decent price, significantly cheaper than the S Class. However, when AMG got their hands on the E-Class, they had different plans, and the E63 S was one hell of a ride.

The 2023 Mercedes-AMG E63 S comes at a base price of about $154,000 but offers next-level performance, including a 0-60 time of just over 3 seconds in the official claims, and unofficially, it is quite faster than that. 

 2023 Mercedes-AMG E63 S  competes with the likes of BMW M5 and the Audi RS7.

The 2023 Mercedes-AMG E63 S comes with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine producing 612 HP and 627 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 186 mph. 

Did You know?

Originally commissioned in 1911, the elegant emblem of the Rolls Royce was sculpted by Charles Robinson Sykes and is said to be inspired by a secret love affair.

10. 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

Entering the top 10 luxury cars on our list, the first contender comes from the house of Cadillac. If you’ve always wanted a muscle car but your family wants a premium four-door saloon, then Cadillac has the perfect answer to your and your family’s requirements.

The 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing uses the same formula as old-school muscle cars and comes with an engine from the big and 50 percent heavier Escalade V and is one of the fastest luxury cars you can buy with a stick shift.

As of now, there’s no other American sedan that can compete with the CT5-V Blackwing, and even Germans like the RS7, M5, and E63 S come with about 20% less displacement than the Caddy, and we all know that there is no replacement for displacement, so CT5-V Blackwing for the win!

The 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing comes with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 668 HP and 659 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of over 200 mph. 

9. 2023 Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance 

If you are someone who loves the performance of the AMG GT63 S E Performance, but that’s a bit too performance-oriented for you, and you also need a comfortable cruiser that can take you around town with an elegant approach, then the 2023 Mercedes-AMG S63 can be a perfect choice. A humongous amount of power and torque (1000+ lb-ft) pushes it to supercar-level speeds in no time. 

The 2023 Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance comes with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine combined with an electric motor, producing 802 HP and 1055 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 155 mph. 

8. 2023 BMW M5

The BMW M5 is one of the most anticipated, renowned, and fastest sedans in the current automobile industry. It is fast like a supercar, and the engine is madly powerful, the dynamics are too good to be true! 

Being a BMW, the handling is phenomenal, and in the RWD setup, it becomes a monster drift car! BMW claims that the M5 hits 60 from a standstill in about 3.2 seconds, but as usual, the Germans lie, and in several third-party tests, it has a time very close to 2.5 seconds! 

As of now, the 2023 BMW M5 is priced at $109,900 and it competes with the likes of the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, Audi RS7, and Porsche Panamera Turbo S. 

The 2023 BMW M5 comes with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine producing 627 HP and 553 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 190 mph. 

7. 2023 Audi RS e-Tron GT

The Audi e-Tron GT is the brand’s take on the all-electric, high-performance luxury car segment. Available in two trims and an RS version, the e-Tron GT series starts at $99,900.

Among the three on sale, the RS e-Tron GT is the fastest luxury car on sale from Audi. Powered by a dual electric motor with a combined power output of 590 hp (637 hp in boost mode), it does 0-60 mph in just 3.1 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph, as per Audi.

Contrary to other electric cars, the RS e-Tron GT gets a two-speed gearbox for the rear electric motor and a single-speed for the front one. This might ring a bell to a few, and your guess is correct—the same setup is available on the Porsche Taycan too. Thus, despite the exterior, interior, and design differences, both the EVs share a lot underneath in terms of their platform and their mechanicals.

6. 2023 BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe

Originally introduced in 1990, the BMW 8 Series two-door coupe was the Bavarian auto giant’s flagship. Owing to poor sales, it was soon discontinued in 1999 but was later reintroduced in 2018.

This time it came in three body styles: coupe, grand coupe, and convertible. The one on our list is the M8 Competition Gran Coupe, powered by a 617-horsepower, twin-turbo V8 mated to an 8-speed automatic. This one does a 0–60 mph sprint in 3.0 seconds flat.

This full-blown M version of the regular 8 Series Gran Coupe starts at $130,000. High on luxury and performance, the Gran Coupe model comes as a four-door model, offering better practicality and easy ingress and egress. Being an M car, the key highlights here include M Carbon ceramic brakes, Bowers & Wilkins sound, a 12.3-inch touch display, M sports seats, etc.

5. 2023 Porsche Panamera Turbo S

Porsche is a brand that makes some of the best Cars in the automotive industry. These cars are very capable in their field, be it an SUV, a small sportscar, or an all-out supercar. Among the fastest luxury cars in the world, here we have the 2023 Porsche Panamera Turbo S, which uses a twin-turbo V8 motor that takes it to triple-digit speeds in mere seconds!

Very few large and premium sedans can achieve a sub-2-second time, especially with all the goodies to keep you comfortable in the urban jungle. And the Porsche Panamera Turbo S is one of those few sedans. Currently, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S comes at a base price of $186,400 and competes with the likes of the Audi S8, and BMW M5.

Whereas the wagon version of the Panamera, named the Sport Turismo, competes with the Audi RS6 Avant, and surprisingly, both of these cars get the same engine, but with different tunes, so what’s your pick? Porsche or the RS6?

The 2023 Porsche Panamera Turbo S comes with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine producing 620 HP and 604 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 196 mph. 

4. 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance

Next up, we have the 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance, the fastest four-door Mercedes-Benz ever made. When the GT63 S was first released, it was advertised as a four-door family-friendly version of the AMG GTR, which was one of the fastest production-spec Mercedes-Benzes of its time. 

However, with time, the engineers at the Star have added new-age technology to it, especially, a hybrid setup that makes it go from 0-60 in less than 3 seconds officially, and slightly faster unofficially! 

As of now, the 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance comes at a base price of around $228,000 in the UK, and it competes with the likes of the Audi RS7, BMW M5, and the Porsche Panamera Turbo S. 

The 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance comes with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine combined with an electric motor, producing 843 HP and 1084 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 196 mph. 

3. 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S

Next up, we have the 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S, which comes with a dual electric motor setup, powering all the wheels. As we all know, as far as electric cars go, the Taycan is faster than most other ICE-powered luxury cars on this list. And can only be beaten by other crazily powerful EVs, like the Tesla Model S Plaid, Lucid Air Sapphire, and the Audi RS e-Tron GT. 

However, being an electric car doesn’t make the Taycan Turbo S a piece of blunt machinery without any soul. The Taycan is a fun car to drive, and even though the range is quite low to market standards, where the Taycan excels is in its dynamics. It feels like a Porsche at the end of the day!

Currently, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S comes at a starting price of $194,900, and if you want the wagon variant, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo starts at $197,500.

The 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo comes with a dual electric motor setup, producing 750 HP and 774 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 162 mph. 

2. 2023 Lucid Air

The 2023 Lucid Air series is the latest entrant in the luxury all-electric sedan segment. Despite being a fledgling in the segment of luxury cars 2022 has offered us, its Air Dream Edition Performance model grabs the first spot on our list as the fastest luxury car from Lucid until the Sapphire edition comes into play.

Powered by a dual electric motor with a combined power output of 1,111 hp, the Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance is capable of a 0–60 mph sprint in just 2.5 seconds.

The electric motors are powered by a 118.0-kWh battery pack, and it has an EPA-estimated range of 471 miles when equipped with 19-inch wheels. With this kind of performance and range, the Lucid Air model above is capable of putting even sports cars to shame. However, the sad part is that this one was a limited edition model and is already sold out as of this writing.

1. 2023 Tesla Model S Plaid

No matter what electric car comes and goes, the Tesla had always the opportunity of being the first one among the lot! The Tesla Model S in its Plaid trim gets an immense amount of power and torque, that pushes it to 60 from a standstill, in less than 2 seconds, and that’s quicker than some million-dollar supercars.

The best part about the Model S Plaid is that it comes at a budget starting MSRP of $108,490 and gets an estimated range of 396 miles.

The 2023 Tesla Model S Plaid comes with three electric motors, producing 1020 HP and 1050 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.99 seconds and reach a top speed of over 137 mph.
