The Sports Car That Never Loses Its Value || Behind The HYPE: Porsche 911

While cars are universally known to be horrible investments, 911s inexplicably maintain value and can even resell for double and triple of their retail costs over time.

So why own a 911? The explanation is in its instant appeal for petrolheads and collectors alike. The Porsche 911 has become “the” benchmark for all sports cars, but is also impossible for rival automakers to replicate, thanks to its half-century-old formula of being rear-engined. Its iconic performance and unique shape has ingrained it into pop culture, with countless appearances in movies like Bad Boys, Fast Five, Gone in 60 Seconds and Office Space.

Celebrities like LeBron James, Kanye West, Rihanna, David Beckham, Jay-Z and Beyonce have all taken orders of theirs, and comedian Jerry Seinfeld and former fashion designer Magnus Walker both have warehouses filled with their Porsche collections.
