I'm not sure any supercar can qualify for this. Of course a car that cost $200K is going to be treasured (Save the abandoned XJ220!). Some may age more gracefully than others but for the most part anything in that price range is going to be rare & desirable forever.

i was going to say the same thing...

A good condition C5 Vette still looks stylish especially in black or maybe the Viper. The biggest thing that dates any car is the rims and door handles.

ya, the vette and viper will still be stylish in 30 years.

i also think

Good news!!

OK, not really, but I think it's pretty safe to say that the Porsche 911 design had held true for quite a few years. And methinks the 997 GT3 RS will be epic 4eva!

Am I the only person who's never liked that car? Looked out of date from the get go.


I think the SRT10 (although that looks like a Competition Coupe) was a massive step backwards from the GTS in the looks department.

I don't know. the Lights on both the C6 and C5 (front and rear) just date it for me for some reason. As much as I'd love to own a C6...I was looking at one the other day thinking it already looks a bit old to me.

When is a new corvette body style due? It feels like they have been running this one for a while

The C6 has been out since the 2005 model year. A new one has been due but the bankruptcy put that off schedule. Maybe in 2 years would be my guess.

Pretty much all good looking cars, with the exception of the XJ220 and Firebird. Both look bloated, like they'd spray pus if you pinched them.

I'd say the 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra was a good looking car that deserves mention.

I always thought the XJ220 looked like a spaceship about to take off, and that appeals to me.
