With tariffs threatening to balloon the price of cars, sports car enthusiasts could be in for an even heftier hike on their favorite makes and models.
According to automotive industry experts Brian Moody, executive editor of Kelley Blue Book, and Zach Shefska, president and CEO of CarEdge, the following sports cars are likely to cause the most sticker shock in 2025.
Porsche 911
The Porsche 911 is one of the fastest-selling sports cars in the United States, according to Shefska. He noted the make has a mere 23-day supply, meaning it takes less than a month for Porsche to move every unit.
With approximately 300 active Porsche 911s on the market, it’s no wonder the cars — which have already increased in price by $6,000 since the start of the year — will continue to appreciate. But for anyone tempted to buy one, Shefska said there is one advantage: They have a high-performance combustion engine that keeps them in good shape for the long haul.
“You can hold on to 911s for decades, and they’ll still retain a lot of their value,” he said.
Porsche 718 Cayman
Another Porsche making the list is the 718 Cayman. Shefska highlighted its sub-$100,000 price point and extremely low supply as key factors driving price increases. As a more accessible entry into Porsche ownership, the 718 Cayman is benefiting from the brand’s reputation and the halo effect of higher-end models.
“Porsche recently said they’re continuing their commitment to performance cars powered by combustion engines while continuing to offer interesting electric cars like the Macan EV, which will likely drive the prices up,” said Moody.
Chevrolet Corvette
The Chevrolet Corvette continues to be a standout in the sports car market, with Shefska pointing out its “relatively inexpensive” price of around $70,000 compared to European exotics. That said, according to Shefska: “Chevrolet has made it clear they want the price to go up, marketing it to compete with brands like Ferrari and McLaren.”
Supply remains low, which is also likely to push prices higher.
Ford Mustang
While the Ford Mustang remains a relatively affordable sports car, Ford’s strategy of producing more high-trim models is driving up overall transaction prices.
“Many of the Mustangs sell for more than $50,000, which is pretty wild given the MSRP starts around $30,000,” said Shefska.
Increased demand for performance-oriented trims and Ford’s pricing strategies suggest that Mustang prices will continue to climb.
BMW M2 Coupe
The BMW M2 Coupe is another model with strong enthusiast demand and a tight supply, making it likely to see price increases.
“It only has a 37-day supply and it has a cult following, because it’s the most compact M model still in production,” Shefska explained.
Ferrari F80 & McLaren W1
It’s no surprise the Ferrari F80 and McLaren W1 are on this list. According to Moody, both are ultra-high-performance models with low supply, both designed to appeal to true enthusiasts. He added the cache from these models could have a ripple effect on other models from these brands.
“The rare and exotic nature of those cars could have an upward push on the price of other Ferrari and McLaren cars like the 296 GTB and the Artura Spider,” he said.
