Large capacity engines. Very sought after or hot potato?

[TeaVR]

I know........crystal ball stuff, but which way do you think it will go?

In the future (say next 5-10 years), will large capacity engined cars (V8s, V10s, etc) be very much sought after, or will they become pretty much worthless?

My personal thoughts are that the very special stuff will be collected and hoarded, but the mass produced large capacity engined cars will devalue to the point that they become hot potatoes.

Thoughts?

At it’s most basic level, it boils down to supply and demand.

The supply of them will be very low; demand amongst enthusiasts will be high, so I predict prices will end up very high.

Agree on supply and demand. Trouble is that there are a shed load of V8s etc already out there. I can’t imagine there’ll be that much demand to outstrip supply, but I could be wrong……..

I’d be interested to hear from the younger generation. I’m
50 now, but back in my twenties, I was only really interested in the fastest car I could buy.

If you apply that to the current, 20-30 brigade, surely they’ll be tempted to buy forced induction or even electric. So, who’s going be in a rush to buy old school large capacity engined cars?

I suspect I have the usual TVR owner's approach

Ignore it or stick a drip tray under it

I think that advice is in the TVR handbook isn't it?

I feel very concerned by this thread… as I just bought an Aventador (6.5L) and already have a DB9 (6L).

I was able to convince myself that high performance ICE cars vs EV will become like mechanical watches vs quartz….

Read what you've just written - I don't think you need to be that concerned
