FROM PERFORMANCE ICONS TO SILENT EVS, MEET THE CLASS OF 2024 THAT REDEFINED LUXURY ON THE MOVE.

- Dhiram Shah

CHAR THE TAR

From sleek coupes that roar like Bollywood blockbusters to sedans blending old-world class with futuristic flair, 2024's best luxury cars each steal the spotlight in their own category. We've handpicked these top contenders: performance SUV, elegant sedan, whisper-quiet EV, opulent MPV, and a dazzling Made in India masterpiece, because they reinvent what it means to travel in style. Think handcrafted interiors, state-of-the-art tech, and driving experiences that feel more VIP lounge than mere transport. These automotive stars redefine comfort, capability, and class to make every journey feel like a red-carpet arrival.

Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years

Fifty years after Porsche first strapped a turbocharger to the back of its 911, the new 911 Turbo 50 Years rolls in like it owns the place. This isn't some dusty trip down memory lane; it's an unapologetic reminder of where modern performance worship began.

The original 930 didn't just go fast, it changed perceptions, giving the world a rear-engined powerhouse that surpassed engineering curiosity and soared straight into cultural icon territory, nudging aside the super cars and poster divas with a confident wink.

Under its sleek skin, a 3.7-litre flatsix conjures 640 horsepower, delivering jaw-dropping acceleration from O to 100 km/h in around 2.7 seconds.

Turbonite accents nod to the early RSR Turbo, while subtle decals and tartan upholstery add a whisper of vintage flair without sliding into retro kitsch. It's a quiet flex rather than a desperate scream.

Half a century on, the 911 Turbo 50 Years stands at the summit of timeless desirability. It's not just a car; it's a knowing grin, a legacy born of racing spirit, and living proof that real legends never fade.
