Every week we break down what’s actually happening behind the scenes here: the deals we’re working, the cars hitting our showroom, and what buyers are chasing in the market right now.

This week we’re negotiating a deal on 2011 Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS (normally $375K+) for $180k, making it one of the cheapest GT3 RS’s in the country. But there’s a catch. 

Along with that, we’ve got some serious inventory available right now (including a Huracán STO, an Aventador SV), and we’re seeing some interesting shifts in the market.

Collectors are paying up for raw, analog driver cars, while the everyday luxury market is still dominated by high-end SUVs.

We’ll break all of that down below. Let’s get into it. 

A customer reached out about a 2011 Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS, a car that normally trades well into the $375K+ range clean, and much higher for the really low-mile examples. The catch? This one has a flood-salvage title.

The owner told us he has close to $300K into the car, but because of the title history it’s a tough one to place in the market. Dealers get nervous when a car has a story like that, even when it looks and drives perfectly. 

After going back and forth, we’re working a deal around $180K pending a Porsche inspection. If the PPI checks out and the car is as clean as it looks, it might end up being one of the cheapest GT3 RSs in the country.

But we’ll need to see what Porsche says. That will determine whether this deal might genius or completely insane.

The STO is the Huracán everyone wants.

It’s naturally aspirated, lightweight, rear-wheel drive, and built to feel like a race car. Full details here.

Genesis came out swinging with the GV60. It’s quick, loaded with tech, and one of the best luxury EVs on the road right now.

It’s got enough performance to surprise a lot of traditional luxury SUVs. Full Details

A 2005 Porsche Carrera GT just sold for $6.7 million at Amelia Concours Auction, which is now a world record. That’s telling you something: collectors want real driver cars with manual transmissions right now.

While the new stuff gets more digital, Carrera GT is raw, mechanical, and takes a real driver to handle it. The old analog halo cars just keep getting harder to touch.

And this isn’t based on one car. The whole weekend backed up the same point. The 2026 Amelia sale brought in $111 million with a 92% sell-through rate, and several of the biggest headlines were cars that deliver that old-school, high-engagement driving experience: the Carrera GT at $6.715 million, a 1972 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV at $6.605 million, and a 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale at a record $912,500. 

These are cars that feel mechanical, rare, hard to replace. Not just expensive, but special.

The collector market is paying up for raw, old-school driver cars, but the day-to-day luxury market is still all about SUVs. 

SUVs controlled over half of the luxury car market in 2025, and that really shouldn’t surprise anyone. Buyers still want the badge, the power, the height, and the comfort, just in something they can actually use every day. That’s why the G63s, Uruses, and big-body luxury SUVs keep staying relevant. 

The weekend toy might be the analog supercar, but the SUV runs the market Monday through Friday.

Amelia proved it with the Enzo at $15.185 million, the Carrera GT at $6.715 million, and a bunch more record-setting results behind them. When the right halo car shows up, the top buyers are there.

This isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The global hypercar market is projected to top $18.7 billion by 2035, and it makes sense why. These cars are built like statements: limited production, huge pedigree, and more race-car tech than ever. Formula 1 influence is all over the hypercar market right now, from active aero to hybrid systems to lightweight materials.

Buyers aren’t just paying for speed. They’re paying for status, scarcity, and something nobody else can really touch.

Porsche GT series — especially 992.1 GT3 RSs, 991 GT2 RSs, and clean GT3s.
If you’ve got a new-body GT3 RS, definitely reach out. Bonus points if it’s got comfort.

SLS Black Series
It’s one of those modern collector cars that people are starting to lock away, which means the good ones barely hit the market anymore.
