Modified cars for women drivers
Modified cars and high-performance vehicles are increasingly popular among women, new research has found.
More and more drivers are modifying their vehicles or buying high-performance cars, but the common myth is that most of these people are men.
However, research from the insurance intermediary Hyperformance revealed that demand among affluent young women is booming.
"Whether this surge in interest in cars with poke is to make a statement about women's independence is not entirely clear, but it follows a general rise in more women wanting their own cars and being less prepared to rely on public transport or their men and their motors," Hyperformance said.
"For years we have associated high performance with men and thought it was a 'boys and their toys' thing, but it seems the girls now want top performance from their men and their motors as well," added Hyperformance sales and marketing director Steve McPherson.
