New analysis has named the most famous luxury vehicles on the planet. A British personalized license plate company has scrolled through social media to find the most famous and commonly used luxury car hashtags. After going through 15 of the top, and some of the most expensive luxury vehicles on sale in the world, Porsche takes out the number one spot.
Porsche Panamera Is on Top
The Porsche Panamera is currently at number one with the #porschepanamera hashtag being used more than 334,000 times. Prices of the Panamera start at about $214,000 drive for the base model. It can rise to a whopping $450,000 for the top-spec Turbo S E-Hybrid model. While Porsche takes a more style and comfort approach to motors than the company’s sports cars such as the 911, it’s still a wonderful piece of machinery.
The Turbo S E-Hybrid combines a 420kW twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a 100kW electric motor that’s complemented by a 14.1 kWh battery. The results are astonishing – 515 kW/870 NM that does 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds.
Runners-Up
Up next in the chart is the “big boss” among luxury cars, the Rolls-Royce Phantom. It has been hashtagged more than 250,000 times. The high-baller of premium vehicles is priced at about $1m. However, they are extremely customizable, so the price of most Phantoms would be far more than the $1 million marks.
Audi A8 Sedan
Audi’s A8, which competes with the new 7 series by BMW was next up with 240,000 posts. This was followed by a pair of Rolls-Royce vehicles – the Wrath coupe with 2333,000 hashtags, and the Ghost sedan with 201,000 hashtags.
BMW Series 7
A huge surprise in the chart was the Hyundai Genesis. The vehicle has now been replaced by a dedicated Genesis branded luxury range that includes the GV80 SUV and G80 sedan.
