Price history

Today $145,000 · modelled median at five years $113,636
Solid line: the value this library has carriedDashed from 2026: modelled · even money $101,216 to $123,199
The green band is the even-money range and the one to plan on: half of outcomes land inside it. The pale band behind it bounds eight in ten ($90,023 to $131,816). The path is this model's own: it starts along the momentum of its recorded history and bends toward its projected median as the horizon lengthens, so no two cars share a future curve.

The verdict

The numbers argue against it. Scores 54/100, ranking 92 of 104 in the over $100k band. Ownership economics is the strongest input, scarcity the weakest.
Running it costs about $9,250 a year (6.4% of value), which is what the economics score measures. All in, including the projected value change, it is $17,063 a year.
The model's five year median is $113,636, a -21.6% move, with the tenth percentile at $90,023.

Scored against every recent Australian sale this library holds, half its values land within 11.2 per cent of the price paid and the rest miss by more, in either direction. Projections are therefore damped toward flat in proportion to how little is known, and the plausible band is never narrower than the error the model is known to make.

6 completed Australian sales of 8 rows. Rows marked asking, no sale, or context are shown for honesty but do not count toward the evidence grade: an ask is not a transaction, a pass-in is a refusal, and a provenance or overseas result does not price the ordinary local car. The badge on every row is computed by the same rule as the grade, so the two cannot drift apart.

No forecast is used to compute the hurdle. It is the purchase, the duty, any premium and 5 years of running cost, grossed up for the cost of selling and spread back over the hold. The projection it is measured against is the weakest number in this product and is drawn that way in the chart above. Transport, finance and any restoration spend sit outside it.

The case for and against

The case for

The long-bonnet GT proportions and twin-turbo V8 soundtrack have been widely praised since launch, and it is one of the more accessible ways into a genuine front-mid-engine German supercar. The market is active at 40 days on market, reflecting broad appeal beyond dedicated enthusiasts.

The case against

Values have fallen by roughly a third from launch and have not yet shown clear signs of stabilising into an appreciation curve. At an estimated 320 AU survivors it is not scarce, and twin-turbo V8 servicing sits above a mainstream sports coupe of similar performance. International prices are falling at roughly 13 per cent a year on the connected run to 2024, the clearest downward trend measured for any car in this library, while the Australian figures behind this value come from an aggregator rather than named auction results.

Multiple recorded transactions plus an aggregate source. Treat the level as reliable.
Seven named Australian results replace one aggregator line - and the aggregator was right, which is worth recording because it usually is not

This record carried a single row reading 'latest of 8 results, average $157,688' across a $134,000 to $175,000 range. The six named ordinary cars now on file average $162,500 across $138,000 to $175,000. The entry's own text had said this figure looked trustworthy where the NSX and 350Z ones did not, because the range was tight and the latest sat below the average rather than at the top of it.

That test worked
Distance does almost nothing

Price and odometer correlate at minus 0.16 across the six, R-squared 0.03. Adding date lifts it to 0.32 and returns MINUS 3.4 PER CENT A YEAR. Fitted to 30,000 kilometres in August 2026 the answer is about $144,000 and THE VALUE MOVES $160,000 TO $145,000.

Expected distance was badly wrong

This record assumed 80,000 kilometres and the seven cars average 22,015. It is now 25,000 with a 1.7 per cent coefficient. Every one of these cars is a low-distance weekend car and the record was pricing a commuter.

The Edition 1 is excluded as a dearer sub-model, per this record's existing practice - and it made the least money of the seven

$134,000 in February 2026 at about 44,000 kilometres, which is also the highest distance in the set, with upgraded suspension and an aftermarket downpipe fitted. One of a claimed 375 built, and no premium is visible at all. If anything this argues the Edition 1 should be counted rather than set aside, and the only reason it is not is that a single result cannot overturn a convention on its own.

Modification is punished here

The Stage-2 tuned, green-wrapped car at $138,000 sits 15 per cent under the fitted line, the largest negative residual among the six, despite having the second-lowest distance.
