Like food, music and art, great cars cut across different genres, and these are the best cars we've driven in 2024
Welcome to our final issue for the year and the first instalment of The Edge Singapore’s annual "Year in Cars" supplement, which celebrates the best cars we've had the pleasure of driving in 2024.
We've whittled through the smorgasbord of vehicles and hand-picked nine luminaries launched this year.
Here's a handy alphabetical quick-list that takes you directly to the digital stories when you click on the blue text:
1. BMW M5 Touring (G99)
2. Ferrari 12Cilindri berlinetta
3. Hyundai Ioniq 6 53kWh Prestige
4. Lamborghini Revuelto
5. Lexus LM500h Ultra Luxury
6. McLaren Artura
7. MINI Countryman SE All4
8. Porsche 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid (992.2)
9. VW ID.Buzz Pro LWB 7 Seater
It’s less about the meh and mundane and more about the eclectic, the exceptional, and the extraordinary — in other words, the type of cars that appeal to the heart.

It takes all sorts, but one thing they can't be are anonymous NPCs or overly try-too-hard and “pick-me”, which is why the cars we've picked have the rizz and rah-rah to be distinguished from the rest of the herd.
From super-sportscars to MPVs, with plenty more in between, our selection spans naturally aspirated to turbocharged, hybrid, and full-electric cars.

You’ll also find that our list cuts through all segments of cars simply because variety is truly the spice of life.
From our cover car, the defiantly naturally-aspirated Ferrari 12Cilindri berlinetta, to the cult of personality that is the fully electric Volkswagen ID.Buzz Pro 7 Seater and the seven cars in between, there should be at least one –if not all – for everybody.
After all, we reckon that many of our readers are not just limited to one car in the garage.
Besides, with different cars from different segments, would it make sense to pick just one to rule the roost?
Don't forget, from food to music to sports and even art, most of us could have interests that cut across a few genres, which is exactly how we feel about these special, emotionally-charged cars.
Happy Holidays!
