April 2026 picks.

1. 01

   2018 Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2, manual Touring)

   Supercar·Porsche brand page

   Curve position: Past the modeled curve, into collector-stable territory

   At year 8 in 2026, the 991.2 GT3 sits well past the modeled curve and has moved into collector-flat pricing. The Touring trim — six-speed manual, no rear wing — was the spec that turned the 991.2 GT3 into a long-term collector candidate; recent transactions in the high-$190Ks for clean Touring manuals, mid-$140Ks for PDK examples. The 4.0L flat-six is the last naturally-aspirated 9,000-rpm GT engine before the 992 generation. The curve has flattened: new arrivals trade on color, options, and provenance, not generation rollover. Editorial sweet spot for a buyer who values the engine character and is willing to accept moderate driven mileage to get the right car at the right configuration.

   Typical listing range: $140K – $215K

2. 02

   2019 Bentley Continental GT (3rd gen, W12)

   Grand tourer·Bentley brand page

   Curve position: Bottom of the steep-drop phase, before the flatten

   The 3rd-generation Continental GT launched in 2018 on Bentley's MSB platform — new chassis, rotating-display dashboard, 6.0L W12. At year 7 in 2026, the W12 cars sit at the bottom of the steep-drop phase before a meaningful flatten. Listings $115-$160K for clean examples — well below the $230K original MSRP. The 4.0L V8 followed in 2019; for V12 buyers specifically, the W12 is the flagship-engine entry point, and prices on the W12 have softened more aggressively than on the V8. Editorial reasoning: the residual exposure is largely absorbed, the engine is the segment's last twelve-cylinder GT, and parts/service infrastructure across iSM-served metros remains intact.

   Typical listing range: $115K – $165K

3. 03

   2018 Ferrari 488 GTB

   Supercar·Ferrari brand page

   Curve position: Flat zone, past the steep drop

   At year 8 in 2026, the 488 GTB has been replaced by the 296 GTB (turbo V6 hybrid). The 488 sits in the flat zone — Ferrari V8 mid-engine berlinettas typically settle around 60-65 percent of MSRP after year 5, and the 488 has tracked accordingly. Listings $230-$285K for clean GTB examples; Pista derivatives and Spider variants run higher. Editorial reasoning: this is the last twin-turbo V8 berlinetta before the V6 hybrid era, and the 488's reputation for usability and sound has firmed prices since the 296 launched. Curve-supported entry for a Ferrari buyer who wants V8 character without paying Pista premium.

   Typical listing range: $230K – $285K

4. 04

   2020 Rolls-Royce Cullinan (pre-Series II)

   Luxury SUV·Rolls-Royce brand page

   Curve position: Past the modeled 5-year curve, just before Series II pulls pre-facelift values

   At year 6 in 2026, the original-series Cullinan is past the modeled 5-year curve and just before Series II availability begins to pull pre-facelift values further. Listings $300-$385K for standard Cullinan, $410-$485K for Black Badge derivatives. The Architecture of Luxury platform, the Goodwood-built cabin, and the segment-defining ultra-luxury SUV positioning all stay constant on the pre-Series-II car; Series II changes are largely cosmetic (front fascia, lighting, minor cabin updates). Editorial reasoning: pre-Series II Cullinan offers most of the Series II ownership experience at materially lower acquired cost. Sweet spot for a Cullinan buyer who values Goodwood-era specification over the latest visual refresh.

   Typical listing range: $300K – $485K

5. 05

   2019 Porsche 911 Turbo S (991.2)

   Supercar·Porsche brand page

   Curve position: Flat zone, past the modeled curve

   The 991.2 Turbo S sits in the same flat zone as the GT3 of the same generation — past the modeled curve, into collector-stable territory. Listings $145-$180K for clean coupes, $165-$195K for cabriolets. The 991.2 was the last twin-turbo flat-six Turbo S before the 992 generation introduced the wider 992-platform body; for buyers who prefer the timeless 991 silhouette and the 580-hp twin-turbo flat-six, the 991.2 Turbo S is now a value position relative to the 992 Turbo S which sits $180-$220K. Editorial reasoning: the curve has flattened, the 992 won't pull 991 values down further at this point, and the 991 silhouette is increasingly a collector axis of its own.

   Typical listing range: $145K – $195K
