Men love high-performance vehicles and that is a fact. We’d argue that guys have always been into testosterone-fueled sports and luxury cars — statistics even confirm that dudes love horsepower. According to Kelly Blue Book, the average horsepower men choose when they’re buying a new car is 360, whereas women average 170. Things haven’t changed much. Even in the early 1900s when cars were still a novelty, men tended to choose powerful gas-powered vehicles while women were driving smaller electric cars.   

Guys are just more likely to invest in vehicles that are bigger, faster, and more powerful — even when they’re not all that affordable. Clearly, when men are shopping for cars, the price isn’t always the main factor driving their decisions.  

The question, of course, isn’t whether men love cars but why. Eco-friendly electrics may be slowly taking over American roads, but a lot of guys are still buying those big, beefy vehicles. In this post, we will dive into what inspires guys to collect cars, tinker under hoods, and prioritize power over price.
