If you are a car junkie and have the money to splash, Dubai’s automotive scene will not disappoint you. In fact, the market for secondhand cars in Dubai is full of some of the most sought-after automobiles put into production. There are some really wealthy folks that call this city home, so seeing exotic cars on the roads here is nothing out of the ordinary.
What if you have a fair amount of cash and want to buy a used car in Dubai that can go fast? You don’t have to look far as the used car section on YallaMotor holds plenty of options for you to choose from. So, here are some of the fastest-used cars in Dubai that can obliterate lap times and wallets.
1. Abarth 695
The most humble car here, the Abarth 695 is extremely fun to drive and packs a solid punch too. Don’t let its puny size and Fiat 500 origin fool you – the scorpion badge makes this special. The Abarth 695’s T-Jet engine produces 180 hp and 250 Nm, propelling this pocket-rocket to 225 km/h – not bad at all!
While the price of a new Abarth 695 starts from AED 119,900, a used Abarth 695 in Dubai with low mileage costs less than AED 100,000. It is one of the best-handling hot hatchbacks and sounds fantastic as well – this Abarth is full of character.

2. Audi R8 V10 RWD
If you are someone with a proclivity to rear-wheel drive fun and controlled drifting, then the Audi R8 V10 RWD will please you aplenty. Precise German engineering and dependable reliability are two other reasons to pick this gorgeous car. The 532-horsepower V10 of the R8 means a top speed of over 320 km/h.
The run from 0-100 km/h takes less than 4 seconds, while no all-wheel drive means no torque steer and a quicker steering response. Before its production was discontinued, a new Audi R8 could easily cost over AED 700,000. Meanwhile, you can get a neat example of a used Audi R8 in Dubai for around 680,000 dirhams.

3. Aston Martin Vanquish S
The Aston Martin Vanquish S is not only an automotive work of art, its 6.0-liter V12 pushes out 580 horsepower! It is not exactly known for its reliability, but the Vanquish S is capable of pushing 320 km/h – it sounds like an absolute dream too! Also, this Aston Martin will happily comply with throttle inputs by swinging its tail out.
Even though the production of the Vanquish ended in 2018, you can get a GCC-spec model from the same year for under AED 850,000. With its beautifully-finished interior and an exterior design worth drooling over, the Aston Martin Vanquish S is not just a fast sports car.

4. Ferrari 812 GTS
Five decades since the last front-mounted V12 Spider, the Maranello-based brand launched the Ferrari 812 GTS. A convertible version of the 812 Superfast, the 812 GTS arrived in 2020 with 788 horsepower and a top whack of 340 km/h. Its F1-style dual-clutch gearbox means a 0-100 km/h time of just 2.9 seconds!
You can buy a pre-owned 812 GTS for under 1.8 million dirhams, with some examples of a used Ferrari 812 GTS costing north of 2 million dirhams. For all the money spent, you get one of the fastest road-legal Ferraris ever made. Of course, you can also drive around Dubai Marina or JBR looking quite smug in your 812.

5. McLaren 720S
The McLaren 720S is one of the best supercars of the modern era, but its production came to an end in 2023. Its relatively compact twin-turbo V8 produces 710 horsepower, enough to rocket the 720S to a maximum speed of 341 km/h. Accelerating from 0-100 km/h takes only 2.9 seconds, while 200 km/h comes up in just 8 seconds.
Its intelligent adaptive suspension and toughened yet light carbon-fiber body means the McLaren 720S handles really well. It is also quite comfortable. A brand-new car would have set you back at least AED 1.3 million, while a used McLaren 720S in Dubai costs around AED 550,000.

6. Lamborghini Aventador SVJ
One of the fastest and most powerful modern-day supercars, the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ has been a collectible since its launch. Its old-school naturally-aspirated V12 revs to 8,500 rpm and produces 759 hp, driving all fours via a robotized-manual gearbox. At full chat, you are looking at a top speed of 350 km/h and a glorious V12 exhaust note.
Where the price of a new Aventador SVJ was at least 2 million dirhams, a used Lamborghini Aventador SVJ in Dubai can cost over 2.2 million dirhams. Over the years, the price of an Aventador SVJ has only appreciated. Buy this and your neighbors will know of your new purchase – it’s a shouty Lambo, after all.

7. Bugatti Chiron
Coming in at the bottom of this list but undoubtedly the fastest car here is the Bugatti Chiron. Powered by a colossal W16 engine displacing 8 liters, the Chiron has nearly 1,500 horses to push its two-ton mass. With its ‘Speed Key’ inserted, the Chiron will blast its way through 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and hit 420 km/h.
With that level of performance at your disposal, it is good that even a used Bugatti Chiron in Dubai costs around AED 14 million. Its quad-turbo W16 pumps out humongous amounts of heat and consumes enough fuel to necessitate its owner having their own oil refinery. Still, owning a Bugatti is a flex on its own.
