I feel like i'm insane here because everyone seems to love them, but i've always thought the rear fender/doorline of the vantage absolutely ruins the shape of the car, and the models of the late 2000s solve that weirdness and look perfect
Excellent choices! Can’t help but to always love the Vanquish, and I have seen a few hidden gems of this car for sale that were well cared for and took care of the transmission issue already.
I think this is the Ferrari from Bad Boys II that Will Smith’s character drove. That movie made me fall in love with this Ferrari, just the sound of that engine screaming.
No problem! Here's the information about the Mercedes CLR GTR: The Mercedes CLR GTR is a remarkable racing car celebrated for its outstanding performance and sleek design.

Completely disagree on the first gen viper. I don’t see “unsafe” and “poor build quality” as being that desirable. It’s the worst looking viper by far. The other vipers have what will ultimately be desirable. Looks, engine, transmission, rawness.
I don’t think the viper will ever be big money; yes the raw analogueness and design is very cool, but there’s too many made and the interior is full of crappy plasticky truck parts and build quality. I can’t recall a single collector with junk interior; stripped out and race car yes, or fully utilitarian (like original nsx or Supra) but can’t think of one as bad as viper. Retains value perhaps, but never big money Totally agree on the mc12 and superleggera. Not sure about Aston tho, same problem with McLarens. No badge , too many made too similar between variants and in Aston’s case lack of innovation. It took a long time for the db5 to be worth something, and the same v12 in every single car made in the span of twenty years made most Aston’s diluted. The 550 is pretty no brainer being the last front engine v12 with a stick (there’s only a dozen 599 6mt and even for those Ferrari didn’t even tune them properly yet) and is very usable…but it doesn’t really has a signature piece like the 300SL doors and interiors so I don’t think it will be as valuable… it’s just spiked up in recent years as pple ran out of cheap cars to buy and started speculating on the next ones with easy covid money..need a longer test of time to know …
I can’t believe how undervalued the regular Gallardo is. You can get them for cheaper than a base C8 Corvette, and the Lambo is more powerful and FAR more special!!!
Thanks Kennan! I was in the market for a new Camry, but after watching this, me and the wife decided that a Maserati MC12 would be a much better investment
I have owned a 550 for 18 years..... easy to fix and very cheap to run ! And a fantastic thing to own ! Way way way cheaper and easier to run than a Porsche 911 ... I have had two ... Brilliant drive but cost the earth to run !!
It's really time to stop this negative narrative on the gearbox the Vanquish has. Most people are just repeating what they have heard from Clarkson and others. The rest who may have driven it just don't know how to use the gearbox properly and either expect it to work like a modern dual clutch or AT. I have both a Vanquish and a Sportshift Vantage for years, yes reliability is always a potential concern as they are old cars now but once you get into the rhythm of how to shift gears it's fantastic. Does it have foibles, yes, can it be stupid at low speed and parking also yes but it doesn't matter. And don't for a moment let anyone con you into thinking the manual conversion of a Vanquish will make you money "or add to the car's value". One S sold recently at Bonhams in the UK after £50K of work done including the conversion to manual and it went for £72K, around the same as one with ASM unaltered. The gearbox is part of the car's character, it's exotic feeling and wonderful once you learn how to use it. Ok, rant over.
Ferraris always fetch a premium over Lamborghinis and we'll everything else of equal classic. But I think that's going to flip with the new generation of people because Ferrari has put their foot in their mouth so many times, me born 89, everyone from my era had the countauge poster and the younger generations after me seem all about Lambos and McLaren and everyone seems to hate Ferrari due to their ridiculousness. So I think modren Ferraris will only go so high, and we'll see Lamborghinis fetching 20 mil plus for special examples instead of Ferrari. That 550 though, that's got a lot of going up in price I think, I didn't even realize they were so erm, cheap not that I can afford that price either but I'd have thought they went for 4x that.
@@cansagarri6749 yes it is, its the street version they made after, that still has the flat bottom and the same poor aerodynamics that make it fly like a paper in the wind as just because they made it a chibi version of it, doesnt mean it wont do the same thing
430 Scuderia was a much better car (as a driver's car) than the MK1 Gallardo Superleggera with the E gear. The manual variants will go up but the E gear one's won't go up as much as the Scud.
Unless you have an income that is 4X the price of these cars-stay away. And you’d damn well better have 10k a year set aside it ifs a Ferrari or Lamborghini or Maserati. Lotus is basically a kit car quality wise. And the newer cars with all the electronics-they will never be truly collectible because there will come a point where they simply are repairable. If you want a fun ride-keep it simply and keep it with the groups that aren’t plagued with countless computers and modules.
Kennan you should make fun of Doug in one of these videos. Do a total Doug imitation it would be super funny and unexpected plus I think it would annoy him and cause him to respond which would lead to him making fun of you.
The preLP Gallardo represents handmade Italian craftsmanship, which is famously unreliable and effectively bankrupted Lamborghini. With the LP they moved to German parts and production methods, and the platform and engine that would be rebodied as the famously reliable Huracan. If you're going to buy a superleggera, buy an LP570 Superleggera. As far as the 550 goes, the 575 is the same car except improved in every way and it can be had for less money with a manual conversion kit.
"...But don't necessarily want to get caught breaking the speed limit by the time they go into second gear." The 1st gen Viper hits 60mph in 1st gear...
do shove off, the viper is a hydroplaning master and blows headgaskest and has a clutch and gas pedal like a bear trap, and its properly priced for what it is, its a 35 to 55 K kit car made with the worlds finest cheapest plastics, and a glovebox that wont stay closed, that doesnt even have props that open and close for the trunk you have to manually set it every time you want to put anything in it and the ferrari 550 is a mechanics nightmare, just ask Jay Emm how much he's spent maintaining his also the vanquish S, kind of has a perchant for catching fire like all british cars
Hi Kennan, nice selection there. I have to say however, as I did several times before, that the Vanquish, being probably the most beautiful of the lot with its external really gorgeous elegant lines and simple yet jawdropping curvy design, well, this car is truly disgraceful in terms of sharing parts. I think the brand at the time was owned by Ford and the big corporation did something terrible to cut costs and that was to put a shitload of ford spare parts in this vehicle, the lights, wipers, etc not to mention the terrible garmin gps screen which fortunately goes into the dashboard. Anyway, The MC 12 truly a legend and the Gallardo insane, probably the wise purchase would be the Maranello. Then really who cares, the thing is to share the video and to talk about these beautiful machines. Thanks a million again and much love, as always from west Spain ❤
I find the Vanquish S very appealing. For me, anything with a gated manual goes to the front of the line. The market apparently agrees. Enjoyed this video. Thank you!

The rarity of Vipers and the fact that they completely dominated European Racing including Lemans Victory and World Endurance Championship landslide over Porsche 993 GT2 to name just one.
I have had my eyes on a 2nd Gen Lp-550-2 rear drive manual Gallardo ever since being able to drive a Balboni edition at extreme experience; the manual RWD are extremely rare but most definitely not undervalued:P
The Viper has been just about to go up in value for about 10 years 😅

That's a hideous Ferrari interior. A horrible brown. But even more so, the grey is terrible.

Also I am sure F12 will be worth a lot. Same car as 812 and 12 cilindri but better looking

No it’s not. It was mass produced and terrible

Its because of Emily honestly, she kicked him out of the house and now he has to stay out in the california sun 😔
This whole video I was terrified Kennan would scratch the car with his watch.
So far the Viper is like a 996 911. People say they’ll go up but they never did but Viper might actually do that. 996s are never going up.
The problem with gen 1 vipers is you can get a gen 2 which is better in all aspects.
Lol😂

His watch is soooo close to hitting that car lol I keep flinching
Thank you all for your occasional homage to Jeremy Clarkson and the original Top Gear gang. Great work here as always.
I don’t know, I just cannot excited over the 550. So agricultural…. I went for a factory manual F430. Yes, I paid 2X but it is such a better car!!
Great video! Just remember this is not financial advice.

CLK GTR is also maybe the coolest car ever built. MC12 is cool, but not on that level.
@@Jallu555 Lmao they did. GT1 Strassenversion. And it is cooler

Kennan needs to work on his "presenter" voice or whatever it is. Feels very forced and inauthentic. Great job otherwise!
That 550 maranello, I can't stop seeing that ridiculous front overhang. Is that 4 feet long?!
leave the vipers alone, they have mantained their price and thats awesome. poor man sports car and it should stay that way
Why are we being forced this dude? I'm sorry man, this list was garbage.
Hey Americans, you don't need to use accents when saying names in other languages. It's just sounds cringe and unnatural.

Weird interior spec in that 550…

Not specifying between pre-LP (03-08) and LP Gallardo’s (09-14) is a HUGE miss. They’re very different cars underneath, and the values show it
