Why More Couples Are Choosing Supercars Over Traditional Wedding Cars
More UK couples are swapping tradition for excitement — choosing Ferraris and Lamborghinis over Rolls-Royces. Discover why supercars are becoming the hottest wedding trend of 2025.
Once upon a time, a wedding car meant a white Rolls-Royce with ribbons. Today, more and more couples are rewriting that tradition — choosing Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and McLarens over limousines and Bentleys. At Supercar Thrills, we’ve seen a sharp rise in couples who want their first journey as newlyweds to be bold, personal, and unforgettable.
Why the shift? Here are the top reasons:
- Couples want a modern, Instagram-worthy entrance
- Supercars often cost less than chauffeur-driven classics
- Smaller weddings mean smaller cars are practical
- The rise of peer-to-peer car hire makes choice more affordable
Breaking Tradition: From Elegance to Excitement
Classic cars will always have their place, but they don’t always match the mood of modern weddings. Couples marrying in city hotels, rooftop venues, or contemporary barns often feel a Rolls-Royce looks too formal. A supercar, on the other hand, matches the energy of a vibrant, modern celebration.
What Supercars Offer That Classics Can’t
✅ Pros of Choosing a Supercar
- Head-turning arrival — guests whip out phones immediately
- Affordable thrills — often £200–£400 cheaper than a classic chauffeur car
- Couple’s personality — especially if one is a petrolhead
- Bold photography — vibrant colours, dramatic styling
- Unique memories — everyone remembers “the couple who arrived in a Ferrari”
⚠️ Things to Consider
- Limited seating (2 passengers max)
- Not ideal for large dresses with long trains
- Engines can be loud — not for quiet countryside ceremonies
- May not suit very traditional venues

Cost Comparison: Classic vs. Supercar

Final Word: A Reflection of You
At the end of the day, your wedding car should reflect your story. If tradition and elegance speak to you, a classic may be perfect. But if you want a jaw-dropping, modern, unforgettable entrance, a supercar could be the ultimate choice.
💡 Pro Tip:
Some couples choose both — a classic Rolls-Royce for the bride and a Lamborghini for the groom. That way, you get the best of both worlds and some incredible photo opportunities.
