I think I average around 90-120 likes typically, but every once in a while I'll post a car where I get substantially more likes (I've gotten between 500-800 on a few shots). But, with those shots, a few characteristics seem to cause it: shot quality, how big the car is pictured in the image, and the type of car. For example, a somewhat recent post of a Martini 918 Spyder (a 'hot' hypercar) was a decent shot, and the car used the space of nearly the whole image. Total likes? 703

But, shot quality doesn't always matter. One of the best shots I've ever taken (this one) only got 95 likes on IG. So, while it's a great shot, the car is hardly comprising a quarter of the image's space, and it's "just" a 570S. So, perhaps the two main factors are the car that's pictured, and how much space does the car use within the image.

But, then again, I posted a C7 Z06 recently (not a very rare car at all) that got 330 likes, so maybe the only factor is how large the car is within the shot. Not sure, but these are my thoughts.
