This Valentine’s Day, we’ve only got eyes for our one true love: supercars.
We’ve listed down the top ten sexiest cars on the market and here they are, in all their glossy glory. Caution: what you’re about to read may be too hot to handle.

10. Mercedes-Benz SL300 Gullwing

Like a Cherubic Cupid, the Mercedes-Benz SL300 Gullwing is a masterpiece that comes with wings. It exudes elegance and class but has enough modern touches that it looks like a fancy gadget out of a Bond film.
Who needs a crooner when the Gullwing is ready to fly you to the moon? Anyone lucky enough to get behind the wheel is sure to be on cloud nine.

9. BMW Z8

First designed in the 1990s and released in 1999, the BMW Z8 is timeless classic car, inspired by the 50’s BMW 507 roadster. The convertible features hand-finished elements, bespoke paint options and a colour-matching metal hardtop.
The two-seater has become a valuable collector’s item, with price going north of £150,000 and has also been featured in the Bond film GoldenEye.

8. Chevrolet Corvette

The Chevrolet Corvette’s intricate design, retractable top and dual-toned interiors make it one of the most eye-popping cars on this list.
The sloping front and rear tails edging out give it an almost predatory stance. And those interiors, redder than a bunch of roses, are perfect for Valentine’s Day.

7. Ford Mustang 390 GT

If you like your cars American and charming, then this Ford Mustang 390 GT is for you. It even had a starring role as Steve McQueen’s hero car in the 1968 film ‘Bullitt’.
Stylish, charismatic and classy, this long-hood, short-deck pony car is a definite head-turner, thanks in no small part to the Mustang’s regal logo and vintage headlights.

6. Bugatti Chiron

The Chiron is one of the fastest, most powerful and exclusive cars ever designed by Bugatti.
Blending unique design with impeccable performance, the Chiron is not for the faint-hearted, but still manages to woo anyone that looks at it. It looks like it’ll bite you if you come near it.

5. Ferrari 812 GTS

Ferrari’s 812 GTS is an elegant piece of work that sounds as good as it looks thanks to a naturally aspirated V12 engine and a 6.5 litre engine, which revs up to 9,000 rpm.
It’s a perfect date night car –a supercar with boot space for your picnic basket, a six-speaker stereo to play romantic tunes and a ‘bumpy road’ driving option for a smooth and comfortable ride.

The T.50 is a treat for all McLaren F1 fans - you can expect superior design and engineering from Gordon Murray Automotive’s first vehicle, in addition to its sheer beauty.
Super light, superfast – the three-seater produces 650 hp and features a naturally aspirated V12 engine that revs up to 12,100 rpm and is made with carbon composite panels to limit its weight to only 980kg.

3. Aston Martin DB4

The Aston Martin DB4 is a work of art. First unveiled in 1958, this iconic car was made by Italian craftsmen using the 'Superleggera' or ‘super light’ method.
The DB4 is like a piece of family jewel that’s been passed down for generations. Its vintage look and feel make everyone stare at it a little longer. With two of the top three sexiest cars being an Aston Martin, they have truly mastered the art of making cars irresistible.
