Message: [QUOTE="Danoff, post: 12352940, member: 8497"] Collectibility is wrapped up in scarcity and demand. The important bit for the most recent supercars is demand, because if it's not well remembered, and it has been outdone, and there's nothing interesting in terms of technology or characteristics, even if what's interesting is to remind you of the period, then demand won't be there. I think maybe the Veyron. It was a super noteworthy car that generated a ton of interest and demand. Maybe the GTR (I know there are a fair number of them). Maybe the R8. Certainly some of the 911s. M3. You need to love it in the future for what it represented today. I don't know or guess how today's Ferraris and Lambos will hold up. Here's the thing though, if you think the days of there being just one special car that everyone wanted, at the top of line, that was beautiful and exciting, are gone... well then... I can start to understand the figures behind the GTO. Perhaps the reason the price is going so high is [I]because[/I] of a recognition of something that will not be repeated by today's vehicles.
