The Lamborghini Veneno – proof new cars can appreciate
The Lamborghini Veneno, Ferrari LaFerrari and Koenigsegg One:1 are the cars launched in the last decade which have appreciated the most.
We all know a new car loses a chunk of value as soon as you drive it out of the showrooms, and that if you want a car that actually appreciates you need to invest (cleverly) in a Classic Car. But that’s not completely true.Yes, you need to be in the Golden Garden high-end car makes reserve for clients who spend the most, but if you are, and you’re happy to spend a few bob, you can buy a new car that actually goes up in value.
JBR Capital – a London-based supplier of high-end car finance – has been busy doing some sums to work out which are the most appreciating new cars launched at the Geneva Motor Show in the last decade.
It urns out it’s the Lamborghini Veneno which has gone up in value the most, rising from a new price of £2.6 million to a used price now of £7.3 million. And that’s tax free (at least in the UK).
Behind the Veneno is the LaFerrari with a rise from its new price of £1.15 million to £2.4 million now and the Koenigsegg One:1 which has gone up from £2 million to £4 million.
At the other end of the scale, the Maserati Quattroporte has dropped from a list price of £110,000 in 2013 to a paltry £32,000 now, and the 2009 Bentley Continental Supersports, which cost £163,000 new, is now worth £75,000.
So you can buy a new car and come out on top. Just as long as you have great contacts and deep pockets.
