June 2026 picks.
June's picks lean into the generation boundary — five cars where the successor has arrived and predecessor pricing has settled into the flat zone. Two naturally-aspirated V12 berlinettas, a V10 Lamborghini, a W12 ultra-luxury SUV, and the last open-top V12 GT at sub-$130K. Four segments, five depreciation stories, the same curve discipline throughout. Reasoning visible, no badges, no urgency.
- 01
2017 Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4
Supercar·Lamborghini brand page
Curve position: Flat zone — post-Evo pricing floor for the naturally-aspirated V10
The LP 610-4 is the baseline specification of the first-generation Huracán — 5.2L naturally-aspirated V10, 610 horsepower, 8,500-rpm redline, seven-speed dual-clutch, around $237K original MSRP. At year 9 in 2026, the LP 610-4 has absorbed the generation transition: the 2019 Huracán EVO introduced active aerodynamics, revised dynamics software, and a restyled front fascia that effectively reset buyer reference points. Listings $145-185K for clean LP 610-4 coupes — well past the steep-drop phase and into the flat zone. The EVO and LP 610-4 share the same V10 architecture; the older car is lighter and carries the unmodified naturally-aspirated specification without the EVO's electronic aero interventions. Editorial reasoning: the LP 610-4 is the purer specification of the Huracán platform, the flat zone is confirmed, and acquired cost is roughly 35-40 percent below the 2017 MSRP. Sweet spot for a buyer who values the naturally-aspirated V10 character and prefers the pre-EVO aero philosophy.
Typical listing range: $145K – $185K

2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast
Grand tourer·Ferrari brand page
Curve position: Flat zone — final non-hybrid NA V12 Ferrari berlinetta
The 812 Superfast carries the last naturally-aspirated, front-engine V12 Ferrari powertrain made in berlinetta volume — 6.5L F140 GA unit, 789 horsepower, 8,500-rpm redline, around $340K original MSRP. At year 8 in 2026, the 812 sits in the flat zone; the successor narrative is the SF90 family (hybrid V8) and the Purosangue (V12 in an SUV format), neither of which continues the GT-berlinetta tradition. Listings $270-330K for clean examples — below MSRP, and above the sub-$270K floor that 812s briefly touched in 2022-2023 before the V12 berlinetta story firmed. Editorial reasoning: this is the last non-hybrid, naturally-aspirated V12 Ferrari berlinetta made in volume production; the Competizione was a 999-unit limited series at significant premium. The residual exposure is largely absorbed, and the mechanical character — front-mounted V12 at 8,500 rpm, nose-weight corrected by rear-wheel steering — remains singular in the current market. Curve-supported entry for a Ferrari buyer who values the GT-berlinetta tradition over the hybrid era.
Typical listing range: $270K – $335K

2019 Rolls-Royce Ghost (Series I)
Luxury sedan·Rolls-Royce brand page
Curve position: Past the steep-drop phase, flat zone — last of the space-frame platform
The Series I Ghost ran on an adapted space-frame platform retired entirely when the 2021 Series II launched on the bespoke Architecture of Luxury underpinnings. The 2019 Ghost carried the 6.75L N74B68 twin-turbo V12, 563 horsepower, from around $331K original MSRP for the standard wheelbase. At year 7 in 2026, the Series I sits well past the steep-drop phase. Listings $175-240K for clean standard-wheelbase examples — representing significant acquisition savings against the $360K+ Series II. The platform change between Series I and II is the most consequential in Ghost history: the Series II is measurably quieter, stiffer, and better isolated. But the core brief — chauffeur-grade rear cabin, V12 powertrain, Goodwood craftsmanship — is consistent across both generations, and the Series I's mechanical character is mature and well-understood. Sweet spot for a buyer who values Rolls-Royce ownership at materially lower cost than the Series II, without sacrificing the cabin brief.
Typical listing range: $175K – $240K

2019 Bentley Bentayga W12 (first-gen)
Luxury SUV·Bentley brand page
Curve position: Flat zone — pre-Series II, W12 generation fully depreciated
The first-generation Bentayga W12 launched in 2016 on the Volkswagen Group MLB Evo platform — 6.0L twin-turbo W12, 600 horsepower, from around $229K original MSRP. At year 7 in 2026, the 2019 Bentayga W12 sits in the flat zone: the 2021 Series II refresh brought revised exterior styling, a materially improved cabin, and a lineup repositioning that placed the W12 as the confirmed range-topper with a price reset. Listings $95-125K for clean W12 examples — roughly half of the 2019 MSRP and well below the Series II entry point. Editorial reasoning: the W12 powertrain is mechanically continuous between Series I and Series II; residual exposure on the first-generation cars is absorbed, MLB Evo parts and service infrastructure is the same pipeline as the wider Volkswagen Group, and the Bentayga W12 specification occupies a segment where no other manufacturer competes at the price. Curve-supported entry for a buyer who wants V12 ultra-luxury SUV character without paying Series II acquisition cost.
Typical listing range: $95K – $125K

2019 Aston Martin DB11 Volante V12
Convertible·Aston Martin brand page
Curve position: Flat zone — pre-DB12 generation, residual exposure absorbed
The DB11 Volante V12 uses Aston Martin's in-house 5.2L twin-turbo V12 — 600 horsepower, eight-speed automatic, convertible body on the bonded-aluminum architecture, from around $247K original MSRP. The V12 DB11 was superseded by the DB12 in 2023; the DB12 offers 680 horsepower from the same engine architecture but is positioned as a new-generation car with revised dynamics and a substantially improved interior, resetting buyer reference points. At year 7 in 2026, the 2019 DB11 Volante V12 sits in the flat zone. Listings $100-130K for clean examples — well below the $245K+ DB12 Volante entry point. Editorial reasoning: the DB11 Volante V12 is the only open-top V12 grand tourer currently available at sub-$130K acquisition cost; the V12 engine architecture is continuous with the DB12, and the pre-DB12 cabin is a known-quantity service item rather than the early-cycle electronics of the 2023 redesign. Sweet spot for a buyer who values an open-top V12 GT and is unconstrained by nameplate vintage.
Typical listing range: $100K – $130K

Frequently asked questions
How does Marque pick the Editor's Pick cars?
Picks are anchored on Marque's seeded depreciation curves. A car becomes pick-eligible when it has just absorbed the steep-drop phase of its curve — typically year 5-8 for ultra-luxury sedans and SUVs, year 6-10 for collector-track sports cars — and entered the flat-zone where supply, demand, and pricing have stabilized. Each pick is hand-written; no automated rule fires the editorial reasoning.
Are the listing ranges current?
The listing ranges reflect the editorial team's read of representative current transactions at the time of publication. They are surveyed monthly using KBB, Edmunds, Hagerty, Bring a Trailer, and Cars.com sweeps. Real transactions vary by condition, options, color, and regional market; treat the ranges as a midpoint-of-distribution, not a quote.
Does Marque earn anything if I buy one of these cars?
No. Editor's Pick is editorial, not affiliate. Marque does receive referral fees on completed introductions through the dealer-finder tool, separately disclosed there. The picks themselves are not paid placement and never will be.
