10 Funky Future Classics To Bag Now

Mercury Marauder

Based on the Panther platform, which dates back to 1979, the Marauder arrived for the 2003 model year as a high-performance version of the Grand Marquis.

Porsche Cayman R

Compared to more modern versions of the Cayman, which are significantly more hardcore, the 2011 Cayman R’s changes might seem modest on paper.

BMW M3 CSL

This model, launched in 2004, was never officially imported to the USA, which makes 2029 a key date for your diaries.

Jaguar XKR-S

Jaguar is soon to wave goodbye to sports-car production, cutting the F-type to focus on electric propulsion and general survival.

HSV W427

Holden made the HRT 427 Monaro-based concept car in 2002, but it didn’t reach production, much to the disappointment of its loyal fanbase.

BMW 1 Series M

Launched in 2011, it’s a brute to look at and drive, and has developed a keen cult following that’s meant the car hasn’t really depreciated from its original purchase price.

Ford Focus RS Mk1

We’re now rewinding to 2002 when this model was launched. This manic Fast Ford has already gone up in price, but we believe it has room to appreciate further.

Alfa Romeo 156 GTA

The efforts of owners and specialists have rectified most of the car’s inherent issues, meaning that many 156 GTAs you’ll find for sale will go as well as they look.

Audi RS4 B7

The RS4 B7 of 2006 is certainly not numb. Its looks are certainly the opposite, too, with wider arches and a general thuggish vibe not really seen since the original quattro.

FPV GT Cobra

The run-out for the BF-series Falcon, it featured more power from its 5.4-litre, 32-valve Boss V8, with more power and torque further up the rev range.
