MoneySuperMarket’s global search ranking names the Ford Mustang as the internet’s most popular dream car, followed by the Porsche 911 and Dodge Charger. This is a ranking of Google search interest for a selected set of models—not a count of unique people, a sales chart, or proof that searchers intend to buy these cars.
The 20 most searched dream cars
MoneySuperMarket reports these five-year search volumes, with data stated as correct through December 2025. The figures are search-volume counts, not unique searchers.

Source: MoneySuperMarket, “New research reveals the world’s dream cars,” updated 3 February 2026; the publisher says the data were correct as of December 2025.
How the ranking was compiled
MoneySuperMarket says it selected 206 models that are regularly mentioned as dream cars in news articles, social media, and Reddit, then used Google Trends to analyze searches over five years. It reports country-level results for 57 countries where search volume was sufficient. The source does not provide enough detail to reproduce its query construction or turn the search volumes into unique people, so treat the figures as the publisher’s reported analysis rather than a definitive measure of what everyone wants.
Global leader and country favorites are different
The Mustang leads the combined worldwide search ranking, but MoneySuperMarket says the Porsche 911 tops the list in more countries. It names Thailand, Portugal, Brazil, and the United Kingdom among places where the 911 leads. The Mustang is described as the most desired in Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Georgia, as well as many US states. A global total and the number of countries led are different ways of looking at the data.
What drivers say they want—and what gets in the way
MoneySuperMarket also reports a separate survey of 4,000 drivers, conducted through Prolific with 200 respondents in each of 20 countries. These are stated preferences and barriers, not the same evidence as Google search volumes.
Rank #2
- Reasons for choosing a dream car: 51% cited its looks, 47% its engineering, and 36% a match with their personal aesthetic or vibe.
- Ownership barriers: 67% cited expense, 23% high running costs, and 8% everyday impracticality.
- Preferred colors: black was selected by 30%, red by 13%, blue by 11%, white by 10%, and grey by 9%.
All survey figures are reported by MoneySuperMarket from its 4,000-driver study; they should not be read as independently measured behavior.
Dreaming about a car is not the same as affording it
MoneySuperMarket reports UK average annual insurance costs of £517 for annual payers and £539 for monthly payers. Its examples include £817.24 for a Ford Mustang, £772.78 for a Porsche 911, £928.76 for a Tesla Model 3, £1,405.63 for an Audi R8, and £4,260.85 for a Lamborghini Urus. These are UK averages reported by the publisher, not personal quotes, and may not apply elsewhere. Individual insurance costs depend on the quote context.

Rank #3
A separate US survey gives a different kind of list
In a 2023 US survey commissioned by Carvana and conducted by OnePoll, respondents named the BMW M4 (17%), Tesla Model S (16%), Mercedes-Benz S-Class (16%), Chevrolet Corvette (14%), and Ford Mustang (14%) among their non-movie dream cars. Carvana also reported that 52% dreamed of owning a hybrid or EV.
This is a historical, company-commissioned survey of 2,000 US respondents—not a current global search ranking. Its stated preferences cannot be compared directly with MoneySuperMarket’s search-volume analysis because the geography, date, sponsor, and method differ.
