Not so long ago, drivers had to choose between everyday luxury and… supercar thrills. These days, many cars offer both: a smooth, comfortable ride for everyday driving and spirited fun on winding weekend roads.
The true supercar experience with all the luxury bells and whistles usually comes at a staggering price. 2026 Bentley The Continental GT, for example, costs about $300,000 but is equipped with a 617-horsepower twin-turbo V8 and an interior full of the highest level of luxury.
Luckily, you can try this combination without spending any money. Today's luxury car market includes several luxurious, powerful models that are fast, stylish and much more affordable than a full-fledged supercar.
To provide you with the most current and accurate information, the data used to compile this article was obtained from various manufacturers' websites and other reputable sources, including JD Power, Kelly Blue BookAnd TopSpeed. The models below are ordered from most affordable to most expensive, starting with the lowest base price.

Starting price in 2026: $97,600.
Starting at just under $100,000 by 2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing packs some serious looks thanks to its hand-built supercharged V8 engine. Its 6.2-liter LT4 engine produces 668 horsepower and 658 pound-feet of torque, sending power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission or an optional ten-speed automatic transmission.
It's a rare blend of muscle car and family sedan, capable of 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph. The CT5-V Blackwing features Magnetic Ride Control 4.0, Brembo sport brakes, high-performance tires and an electronic limited-slip differential for excellent traction when launching and cornering.

Genesis G90 e-SC Prestige 2026 Black
2026 starting price: $107,895.
2026 Genesis G90 The e-SC Prestige Black is the most powerful and fully equipped variant in the range, offering both an intuitive driving experience and serious looks. On the outside, it's a full-size luxury sedan with blacked-out accents, 21-inch matte black wheels, a sleek rear end and an all-black G-Matrix grille.
Inside, it's plush and high-tech, with black aniline leather, open-pore wood trim, G-Matrix brass inlays, a Bang & Olufsen 3D audio system, a surround-view monitor, heated and ventilated seats, and two 12.3-inch touchscreens.
Legroom is generous, with 42.3 inches in the front and 37.8 inches in the rear, along with 10.6 cubic feet of practical cargo space. But the G90 e-SC Prestige Black is more than just a comfortable luxury sedan—it's a massive sleeper with serious performance potential.
The “e-SC” in its name stands for “e-supercharged” and it's a marked departure from the standard G90 models. While the regular G90 is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels, the e-SC Prestige Black adds a 48-volt electric supercharger that increases output to 409 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque.
Despite weighing 5,194 pounds, being 207 inches long and having a 125.2-inch wheelbase, the G90 e-SC Prestige Black can accelerate to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 155 mph (limited). Genesis' Adaptive Steering Suspension with air shock absorbers and Predictive Ride System provides a comfortable ride on the highway while maintaining composure in corners.
2026 Audi RS e-tron GT
Starting price in 2026: $170,500.
Priced at just over $170,000, the 2026 Audi RS e-tron GT combines RS performance with advanced electric supercar technology.

The exterior is as aggressive as its features: RS-specific bumpers, massive brake cooling air intakes, rear diffuser, active spoiler, side air vents, 21-inch wheels and a carbon hood. It provides the looks and speed of a supercar at a fraction of the price of some Ferraris that are slower off the line, despite costing much more.
Inside, the Audi RS e-tron GT feels like a true grand tourer. The interior features Nappa leather, sport seats with massage functions, a head-up display, a 12.3-inch HD touchscreen and a standard Bang & Olufsen audio system for premium audio.
