    hi, i am new on this forum and was wondering how rare do you think the normal supercars today will be in 10 years time

    after crashes and I am sure they will be someones that will be around for a while becuase of been in a garage and not driven

    for example

    ferrari scuderia, 599,
    lamborghini murcielago, gallardo
    porsche carrera gt
    mercedes mclaren
    ford gt

    Ford GT is timeless. Rarely has a car been reinvented w/ the same finesse and true to origin style as this one.

    It depends what your definition of "Rare" is. Production numbers aren't below one hundred as they were in the 50's-70's for the cars we really consider "rare." The definition will change.

    As far as modern cars are concerned, the Zondas, McF1's, Enzos and some special editions here and there will be rare, but most of all, it will be the small hardly-known manufacturers like Zenvo and Spyker that will retain rarity. My opinion of course.

    I do suppose if you live in Monaco, nothing is rare though...

    yeh i might need to change it abit
    I mean limited numbers for example the younger generation (18-25) are hoping to get a supercar and in like 10 years do you reckon the number of the cars i have list would have dropped alot and it will be alot harder to pick one up, instead of going to a dealer and getting a second hand one straight away

    None of these are or will be rare in a collectible sense. They're almost all pampered, driven 10 miles a year and stored in near sterile conditions. The Ford GT is a case in point, because it seems like it's hard to find one with more than couple of thousand miles on it, and fairly easy to find one with plastic wrap on the sills and a few hundred miles on the odometer.

    If you want rare, as another post suggested, you need to go back to the '60s and early '70s when people weren't preserving cars but instead driving the crap out of them.

    It's just like baseball cards, coins, or just about anything else that is now old, and collectible, and valuable....if everyone had saved the original ones, none of them would have any value except sentimental value.

    IMO, barring maybe a McLaren F1, I don't think any of the other cars on your list will appreciate significantly in the next 10 years.

    I hope not. I wouldn't mind owning a Ford GT one day.
