Porsche 911s Hold Their Value Better Than All Other New Cars: Report

Yahoo27-03-2025

Turns out your Porsche 911 is a worthy investment.
The sports car has the lowest five-year depreciation rate of any vehicle, according to a new report from iSeeCars, a used-car search engine. The company studied over 800,000 5-year-old pre-owned autos sold from March 2024 to February 2025 to collect its data.

The 911 claims the No. 1 spot on the top 25 list of cars with the lowest depreciation rate, with an average depreciation rate of 19.5 percent over five years—along with an average difference of MRSP of $24,428. Following close behind is another auto from Porsche: the 718 Cayman, a sports car that drops 21.8 percent in value over half a decade, with an average MRSP difference of $15,851. Rounding out the top four are the Toyota Tacoma and the Chevrolet Corvette, which sit at 26 percent and 27.2 percent, respectively, in five-year depreciation.
Of course, where some autos triumph, others find themselves falling flat. iSeeCars also put together a list of the 25 vehicles that have the highest five-year depreciation. Perched at the top of that list is the Jaguar I-Pace, an EV with an average depreciation of 72.2 percent over five years, as well as a $51,953 average difference in MRSP. At No. 2 is the BMW 7 Series; that car has a 67.1 percent five-year devaluation rate and a $65,249 average MRSP difference over the same period. The Tesla Model S (with a 65.2 percent depreciation rate) and the Infiniti QX80 (with a 65.2 percent depreciation rate) complete the top four.
Electric vehicles lose the most value after purchase, dropping 58.8 percent over five years, according to iSeeCars. EVs and luxury cars make up 23 out of 25 of the autos on the list of cars that depreciate most in value, including the Maserati Ghibli, the Land Rover Range Rover, and the Audi A8 L. The company also found that premium models usually lose more value than mainstream iterations. Trucks and hybrid models, meanwhile, keep their value the most, losing 40.4 percent and 40.7 percent, respectively, over five years.
As far as used car prices go, they've come back down to earth since their peak during the pandemic, iSeeCars reports. That's shown in the increased five-year depreciation rate across all car types. It also means that new cars are losing more money after five years since both new and pre-owned car supply are slowly returning to pre-Covid numbers.
Here is the full list of the top 25 vehicles with the lowest five-year depreciation.

Red Bull Fires Back at Schumacher Over Verstappen Exit Clause Comments

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has hit back at former Formula One driver Ralf Schumacher for his comments on Max Verstappen at the Spanish Grand Prix. Schumacher criticized the four-time world champion for the incident with George Russell and suggested that he was looking to activate an exit clause in his Red Bull contract that would pave the way to his exit from the team. There has been much talk about Verstappen leaving Red Bull in the past few seasons, especially considering his interest in other forms of motorsports and the challenges he faced with the RB21. An incident during the race in Barcelona last weekend prompted Schumacher to suggest a theory that could see Verstappen part ways with the Milton Keynes outfit. The race saw the 27-year-old driver maintain a healthy third position in the final leg of the race, but the safety car led him to switch to the only tires he had left - hard tires. This proved to be a huge disadvantage, especially since the other cars were running on soft tires. Verstappen struggled for traction as soon as the race resumed, leading Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to capitalize on the situation and secure the last spot on the podium. Russell also tried his best to pass Verstappen at Turn 1, but made contact in the process.

MoreIn response, Verstappen swerved into the run-off area and got back on the track in front of Russell and behind Leclerc. Soon after, Verstappen's race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase advised him to hand the position back to Russell. Verstappen appeared furious on the team radio but adhered to the request. However, he made contact with Russell soon after he was allowed to overtake. This move caused a significant uproar. The FIA stewards penalized Verstappen with a ten-second penalty and added three penalty points to his Super License. The time penalty meant he finished the race in P10, scoring just a single point. The incident garnered considerable attention, and several pundits, including Schumacher, criticized Verstappen for his actions. Speaking to Sky Deutschland, he said: "His behavior is a pity, he doesn't need that as a four-time world champion. "I don't know what got into him. It is clear that frustration is on the way, but that should not be the case. I think he realised today that it's not going as hoped and that the update didn't work so well." Revealing Verstappen's Red Bull exit theory, Schumacher added: "You have to pay attention to why things like this happen and why he gets an unnecessary penalty if there is a clause. "It's a critical phase." Responding to Schumacher's comments, Horner dismissed his theory. He told BILD: "This theory is the biggest nonsense possible. I haven't heard anything so stupid for a long time. "Max is a racer through and through. He always wants to win and would never act like that."

F1 driver penalty points after Max Verstappen's Spanish Grand Prix incident

After a thrilling Formula 1 triple-header, the grid has a chance to catch their collective breath before the next race weekend, the Canadian Grand Prix. And one driver has a chance to collect themselves after an eventful Spanish Grand Prix, a race that now has them at risk of a one-race suspension. Advertisement Max Verstappen was given both a ten-second penalty, and three penalty points, for an incident in the closing chapter of the Spanish Grand Prix. After being instructed by his team to give a place back to George Russell, Verstappen slowed down to let the Mercedes driver pass him, only to accelerate into Russell through a corner. Race officials handed down both a ten-second penalty and the penalty points after the race, putting Verstappen on the cusp of a suspension. Here are the current penalty points for the entire F1 grid, starting with Verstappen. What are FIA penalty points? Similar to your road driver's license, F1 drivers operate under an FIA Super License, which they can obtain based on results in the lower categories. Advertisement In an effort to promote safety on the track, and keep the drivers in line, penalty points on said Super License are among the potential penalties race stewards can hand out for infractions. Penalty points are reserved for the more severe incidents, such as causing an accident or violating rules regarding yellow and/or red flags. If a driver reaches 12 penalty points on their FIA Super License over a single calendar year period, they are hit with a one-race penalty ban. Last season Kevin Magnussen missed the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after accumulating enough penalty points to trigger the one-race ban at the previous race, the Italian Grand Prix. Penalty points remain on a driver's Super License for one calendar year, after which they expire. What F1 drivers currently have penalty points?
