A spokesperson for CarInsurance.ae commented on the findings:

“Supercars are the epitome of commercial sports car performance, often found to be many people ‘dream car’. The aesthetic superiority of supercars is just one reason they are so desirable. It is fascinating to see what supercars rank as some of the most Instagrammable ever made. With the Nissan GT-R coming out on top, it is fair to say this supercar is a real force to be reckoned with in the motorsport community. Its also interesting to see how many Italian manufacturers feature in the top ten, with Ferrari and Lamborghini taking up five of the top ten spots on the most Instagrammable supercars list.”
