🔥 HOT or COLD? 🥶 The exotic car market is doing something VERY interesting right now! Some Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, and Porsches are seeing asking prices RISE … while others are quietly getting CHEAPER. According to nextComp’s October 2026 exotic car market report, here’s what’s happening: 🔥 GETTING HOTTER 🏎️ Porsche 991.2 GT3 … UP 4.1% 🏎️ McLaren 765LT Coupe … UP 4.0% 🏎️ Lamborghini Huracán STO … UP 3.9% 🏎️ Lamborghini Aventador SVJ … UP 3.2% 🏎️ Ferrari 488 Pista … UP 3.0% 🥶 GETTING COLDER 🏎️ Ferrari GTC4Lusso … DOWN 5.7% 🏎️ Ferrari 458 Italia … DOWN 4.6% 🏎️ Ferrari 812 GTS … DOWN 4.2% 🏎️ McLaren 720S … DOWN 3.6% 🏎️ McLaren Senna … DOWN 2.9% But here’s what I find interesting … Some of the most desirable exotic cars in the world are moving in completely opposite directions. And remember … these are changes in dealer ASKING prices, not actual transaction prices. Just because a dealer raises the price doesn’t mean someone is willing to pay it. My take? The exotic car market isn’t necessarily crashing or booming … it’s becoming more SELECTIVE. So here’s my question … If you owned one of these cars, would you SELL now or HOLD? 👇 And if you’re considering selling your exotic car, let over 120 dealers compete to buy it at DesignAuto.com. #ExoticCars #Ferrari #Lamborghini #McLaren #carmarket

🚀 PORSCHE MISSION S TO THE MOON?! 🌕🏎️ Porsche might be giving enthusiasts exactly what they’ve been asking for… a return to REAL driving. 🔥 Five round gauges. An ANALOG tachometer. Physical buttons. And NO giant center touchscreen! The Porsche Mission S is generating serious buzz with its old-school Porsche DNA, modern design, and driver-focused interior. But the BIG questions remain… 💰 How much would it cost? 🏎️ How many would Porsche build? 👀 And who would actually get an allocation? With the Porsche Carrera GT and 918 Spyder already legendary among collectors, could something like the Mission S become the next must-have Porsche? If Porsche builds it, is this a RIP or a FLIP? 👇 #Porsche #PorscheMissionS #Porsche911 #missions #designauto

Everybody talks about the VALUE of Ferrari cars … but nobody’s talking about the value of Ferrari STOCK! 📈🏎️ Back in 2015, you had a choice … Spend $200,000 on a Ferrari California T … or invest that same $200,000 in Ferrari stock (NYSE: RACE). Fast forward 11 years … and the results are CRAZY! 🤯 According to this comparison: 💰 Initial investment … $200,000 📈 Ferrari stock value … $1,606,082 💵 Dividends collected … $74,719 🚀 TOTAL … $1,680,801! That’s nearly $1.5 MILLION in gains! Here’s what makes this so interesting … Ferrari has built one of the most powerful luxury brands in the world. But just because Ferrari makes incredible cars doesn’t mean every Ferrari is an incredible investment. Some Ferraris appreciate … others depreciate. Meanwhile, Ferrari shareholders have benefited from the company’s growth over the past decade. So here’s my question … Would you rather have driven a Ferrari for the last 11 years … or have nearly $1.7 MILLION in your investment account today? 👇 📊 Credit to @damian173_ on X for the original comparison. Figures are illustrative and depend on investment timing. #Ferrari #FerrariStock #FerrariCaliforniaT #ExoticCarMarket #designauto @Design Auto

Three of the greatest hypercars ever built just sold at the SAME auction … and the results tell a fascinating story about the exotic car market. 🏎️💰 The Ferrari LaFerrari, Porsche 918 Spyder, and McLaren P1 … collectively known as the Holy Trinity of Hypercars … crossed the auction block at Broad Arrow’s 2026 Zoute Concours Auction in Belgium. Here are the results: 🔴 Ferrari LaFerrari … €5,181,250 ⚪ Porsche 918 Spyder … €3,212,500 ⚫ McLaren P1 … €1,890,625 But here’s what I find interesting … Only 375 McLaren P1s were produced worldwide, compared to 499 LaFerrari coupes and 918 Porsche 918 Spyders. The McLaren is the rarest of the three … yet the Ferrari brought nearly THREE TIMES as much money. All three were revolutionary when introduced. All three are collectible. But clearly, scarcity alone doesn’t determine value. Is Ferrari’s brand power really that strong? Or is the McLaren P1 one of the most undervalued modern hypercars? Of course, mileage, condition, specification, and provenance matter … but this price gap is hard to ignore. If you had $3 million to spend … which one would you buy? 👇 #FerrariLaFerrari #McLarenP1 #Porsche918 #HypercarMarket #exoticcars

Porsche wants to be Ferrari … but the timing couldn’t be worse. 👀 Porsche is reportedly looking to move further upmarket, raising prices on its highest-end models by 20% by 2030 and chasing Ferrari-level exclusivity. Here’s the problem … 🌎 Worldwide deliveries DOWN 16% 🇨🇳 China DOWN 33% 🇺🇸 North America DOWN 13% And now there’s talk of the Porsche Mission S hypercar making its debut on October 15th. Could a new halo car be exactly what Porsche needs to bring excitement back to the brand? Or is introducing another ultra-expensive Porsche while sales are declining the wrong move? Ferrari has mastered the art of exclusivity … but you can’t manufacture demand simply by raising prices. Is Porsche making a brilliant long-term move … or trying to become something it’s not? Curious what Porsche and Ferrari owners think. 👇 #Porsche #Ferrari #MissionS #LuxuryCars #exoticcarmarket

Porsche wants to become Ferrari … but there’s one HUGE problem. 🏎️ Porsche is reportedly looking to move further upmarket with higher prices, greater exclusivity, and a strategy that looks a lot like Ferrari’s. But here’s what nobody’s talking about … Ferrari has roughly 50 dealerships across the U.S. and Canada. Porsche has approximately 226. That’s more than FOUR TIMES the dealer network. And every one of those Porsche dealerships has salespeople, massive showrooms, service departments, and overhead that depend on selling cars. So how does Porsche create Ferrari-level exclusivity while supporting a business built around significantly higher volume? Or maybe that’s the whole strategy … Maybe Porsche doesn’t actually need to BE Ferrari. Maybe it just needs to make everyone THINK it is. And with cars like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, GT2 RS, and 911 Speedster … they’ve already proven they know how to create demand. What do you think … can Porsche really become Ferrari? Or is exclusivity just another marketing strategy? #Porsche #Ferrari #Porsche911 #LuxuryCarMarket #exoticcars

Ferrari prices are dropping… and the exotic car market might be shifting. 📉🏎️ We’re seeing more Ferrari price reductions, longer inventory times, and dealers becoming more aggressive with their asking prices. But does this mean Ferrari values are crashing? Not necessarily. The Ferrari market is changing… and certain models are feeling the pressure more than others. For exotic car buyers, this could be a great opportunity to negotiate. For sellers, pricing your Ferrari correctly has never been more important. At Design Auto, we work with 120+ exotic and luxury car dealers nationwide, giving us a firsthand look at what dealers are actually willing to pay… not just what cars are listed for. 💬 What do you think? Are Ferrari prices headed lower, or is this the perfect time to buy? 🌐 DesignAuto.com Got it! Going forward, I’ll use a maximum of 5 hashtags for both Instagram and TikTok captions.

Is the exotic car market starting to slow down? 👀 We’re seeing more price reductions, more cars sitting, and more high end cars failing to meet reserve at auction. I don’t think the exotic car market is crashing…but it definitely feels a little flat right now. And that could create an interesting opportunity. If you’ve been waiting to buy a Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche or other exotic car…this may be a better time to buy than to sell. Are you buying right now…or waiting for prices to come down even more? 👇 #ExoticCars #ExoticCarMarket #Supercars #Ferrari #LuxuryCars

Are we officially at the age where we’re buying our childhood back? Pizza Hut is going old school. Toys “R” Us is coming back. Starter jackets are back. And Michael Jordan’s 1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello just sold for $2.7 MILLION. 🤯 But this wasn’t just Jordan’s Ferrari. He drove it during the Bulls dynasty…left the United Center in it after winning his fifth NBA championship…and the car even helped inspire the Air Jordan XIV. Look closely at the Jumpman shield on the shoe. 👀🏎️ Maybe the biggest collector trend right now isn’t cars at all… It’s nostalgia. What piece of your childhood would you buy back? #MichaelJordan #Ferrari550 #airjordan #Ferrari #90snostalgia

Thinking about buying a luxury SUV for your business in 2026? Don’t wait until December. Qualifying business vehicles may be eligible for significant tax deductions through Section 179 and bonus depreciation…and right now, I think there’s another opportunity: dealers are loaded with inventory, floorplan costs are adding up, and the selection is better than what may be left at year-end. Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Bentley Bentayga. Mercedes-AMG G63. Lamborghini Urus. If you find something you like on Design Auto, DM me and I’ll see how aggressive we can get on the deal. Tax rules vary. Talk to your CPA or tax professional about your specific eligibility. #Section179 #Section179Deduction #TaxWriteOff #BusinessVehicle #suv
