7 Sports Cars That Will Have Massive Price Increases in Early 2025

According to automotive industry experts Brian Moody, executive editor of Kelley Blue Book, and Zach Shefska, president and CEO of CarEdge, the following sports cars are likely to cause the most sticker shock in 2025.
The Porsche 911 is one of the fastest-selling sports cars in the United States, according to Shefska. He noted the make has a mere 23-day supply, meaning it takes less than a month for Porsche to move every unit.
With approximately 300 active Porsche 911s on the market, it's no wonder the cars — which have already increased in price by $6,000 since the start of the year — will continue to appreciate. But for anyone tempted to buy one, Shefska said there is one advantage: They have a high-performance combustion engine that keeps them in good shape for the long haul.
'You can hold on to 911s for decades, and they'll still retain a lot of their value,' he said.

Another Porsche making the list is the 718 Cayman. Shefska highlighted its sub-$100,000 price point and extremely low supply as key factors driving price increases. As a more accessible entry into Porsche ownership, the 718 Cayman is benefiting from the brand's reputation and the halo effect of higher-end models.
'Porsche recently said they're continuing their commitment to performance cars powered by combustion engines while continuing to offer interesting electric cars like the Macan EV, which will likely drive the prices up,' said Moody.
The Chevrolet Corvette continues to be a standout in the sports car market, with Shefska pointing out its 'relatively inexpensive' price of around $70,000 compared to European exotics. That said, according to Shefska: 'Chevrolet has made it clear they want the price to go up, marketing it to compete with brands like Ferrari and McLaren.'
Supply remains low, which is also likely to push prices higher.
While the Ford Mustang remains a relatively affordable sports car, Ford's strategy of producing more high-trim models is driving up overall transaction prices.
'Many of the Mustangs sell for more than $50,000, which is pretty wild given the MSRP starts around $30,000,' said Shefska.
Increased demand for performance-oriented trims and Ford's pricing strategies suggest that Mustang prices will continue to climb.
The BMW M2 Coupe is another model with strong enthusiast demand and a tight supply, making it likely to see price increases.
'It only has a 37-day supply and it has a cult following, because it's the most compact M model still in production,' Shefska explained.
It's no surprise the Ferrari F80 and McLaren W1 are on this list. According to Moody, both are ultra-high-performance models with low supply, both designed to appeal to true enthusiasts. He added the cache from these models could have a ripple effect on other models from these brands.
'The rare and exotic nature of those cars could have an upward push on the price of other Ferrari and McLaren cars like the 296 GTB and the Artura Spider,' he said.

The action applies to certain Bronco Sport and Escape models from 2020 to 2024, according to documents posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. Ford has identified eight instances where cracking in a fuel injector led to a fire under the car's hood.

Ford recalls more than 694,000 SUVs in U.S. after year-long fuel leak probe
Ford is recalling 694,271 crossover SUVs in the United States due to a fuel leak issue that could increase the risk of a fire, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday, following a year-long investigation. The NHTSA said fuel injector in affected vehicles may crack, causing fuel to leak into the engine compartment and potentially ignite. Ford shares were down 3% in afternoon trading. The recall covers certain 2021–2024 Bronco Sport and 2020–2022 Escape models equipped with 1.5-litre engines. The NHTSA estimates that 0.3% of recalled vehicles may have the defect. "We estimate the aggregate cost of the action, based on the remedy options we are evaluating, to be about $570 million and will be reflected in our second quarter 2025 results," Ford said. Wednesday's action expands on previous recalls from 2022 and 2024, which provided software updates but did not replace the potentially faulty injectors. The fuel injectors were supplied by Italy-based Dumarey Flowmotion Technologies, according to the recall report. Ford's interim fix includes a software update designed to detect a leaking injector, reduce engine power, and shut off fuel delivery. The company is still developing a final mechanical remedy. An internal committee initially recommended the software update and an additional drain tube to redirect fuel away from ignition sources. At that time, about 42,000 vehicles were covered. In 2024, the NHTSA opened a recall query to evaluate the adequacy of Ford's remedy, adding that the proposed fix did not address the root cause of the issue. After reassessment, Ford reported this month that it found cracked fuel injectors in eight vehicles that experienced under-hood fires, despite having undergone repairs. Six of these vehicles did not have the updated engine software the company previously recommended. The latest recall includes vehicles previously repaired under earlier campaigns, as well as newer models built with the same engine and updated software.

Ford's Latest Recall Fans The Flames Of Unreliability For Almost 700k Owners
Ford's Latest Recall Fans The Flames Of Unreliability For Almost 700k Owners originally appeared on Autoblog. 694,271 Fords Hit With New Recall 2025 has been a horrendous year for Ford's already shaky reliability reputation. The company has already exceeded the number of recalls it had throughout all of last year in the first six months of 2025, breaking an infamous GM recall record on the way. But the misery is far from over for Ford service technicians, after a new recall for some 694,271 vehicles was announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Reuters reports that a cracked fuel injector could leak fuel into the engine compartment, and in the worst-case scenario, this could lead to a fire. Two Popular SUVs Impacted By New Recall View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article It should be noted that this recall is separate from the one announced last week, which concerned faulty fuel pumps in various trucks and SUVs, as well as the Mustang; the potentially cracked injectors that led to this week's recall were installed in 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2020-2022 Escape vehicles. While no injuries related to the defect have been reported so far, this recall is far from the beginning of buyers' woes with the issue. According to the NHTSA report, an internal committee at Ford had first reviewed the issue on 1.5-liter engines in March last year, suggesting that an update to the engine control software and the installation of a drain tube would resolve the issue. The drain was intended to route leaking fuel away from danger areas, while the software update was to activate a warning light when a drop in fuel rail pressure was detected. At the time, only around 42,000 vehicles were covered by the recall, and replacing the potentially defective injectors was not recommended by the committee. But a month later, the NHTSA opened a recall query and determined that the remedy did not solve the issue. Reassessment of the issue has now led to the latest recall. No Solution YetFortunately, only around 0.3% of the Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs are estimated to have the defect with injectors (supplied by Italy-based Dumarey Flowmotion Technologies), but unfortunately, Ford still doesn't yet have a permanent solution. The issue has caused under-hood fires in previously recalled vehicles, so the software update that reduced engine power and shut off fuel delivery was not effective. Owners of the affected vehicles will want to take note of warning lights and any strong fuel smells inside or outside the vehicle before smoke or flames manifest.
