Though men often get made fun of it, cars are extensions of ourselves in many ways. Like with fashion, home decor, or any other material item, our ownership of these things helps us express ourselves in some small way.
So if you want a car that exudes masculinity; if you want a car that makes people turn their heads, click here to check out the 5 manliest cars of all time.
1. Hummer H1
Is there anything more manly that driving around in something that looks like its headed into a war zone? That’s what the Hummer H1 does for you. In some cases, this was true for our troops, dating back all the way to World War 2.
With a wide, boxy frame and a menacing front grille, this car can make any driver look like a badass. With premium suspension and giant wheel wells, this vehicle is perfect for off-roading, too.
Also, this car looks pretty sick with driving lights, which you can learn more about here.
2. Ferrari 458 Italia
If sleek style is more your thing, then look no further than the Ferrari 458 Italia. This beautiful beast has a gorgeous silhouette and the performance to back up its stunning aesthetic design. You’re not gonna want to dent this baby.
The 458 Italia has 570 horsepower and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3 seconds. However, this baby doesn’t come cheap. If you want to drive this car, you’ve got to shell out at least $200 thousand.
3. Dodge Viper
When you think of Dodge, you definitely think of masculinity, but you don’t think state-of-the-art sports car. But that’s what the Dodge Viper is. With a low-set stance and a long front hood, the Viper is the closest thing you’ll get to driving the Bat Mobile in the real world.
This car has a V10(!) engine and only comes with a manual transmission. Could it get more manly?
4. Bugatti Veyron
The Bugatti Veyron looks like something a Bond villain would drive. That’s right. It’s too manly for even James Bond himself. Of all the hyper-luxury sports cars, the Veyron has got to have the most unique look, thanks to its two-tone paint job and one-of-a-kind silhouette.
At one point, the Veyron also held the Guinness record for the fastest street-legal car in the world. So if you want to drive a piece of history, hop in a Veyron.
5. Ford Mustang
Ah, lastly we come to the Ford Mustang: the ol’ reliable of manly cars. You know it. You love it. It gets the job done.
This car is synonymous with American Muscle. It’s a celebration of the American man in itself.
Every model of the Mustang has been pretty great through the years, but if you want some bonus manliness points, try to find a vintage model from the 60s or 70s.
