Hidden Gems: Underrated Supercars That Could Skyrocket in Value
Published on Mar 17, 2025 at 9:52 AM | By Alessandro Renesis
The words undervalued and underrated are often misused in the car world, mostly because these things are all relative.
That is to say, it completely depends on the car, but also on the amount of zeros in the buyer’s bank account.
Still, it is true that some cars have a market value that seems a bit off.
So, with that in mind, we thought it’d be interesting to put together a list – in no particular order – of four cars that, for different reasons, could potentially be worth more in the future.
Ferrari Mondial
We’re going to start a banger, but also a controversial choice, the Ferrari Mondial.
The Mondial has a lot of potential for the most logical of reasons: it is by far the cheapest Ferrari available on the market.
This is because the Mondial has always been considered the ugly duckling in the family, and there are even internet memes about it, with people calling it the ‘worst Ferrari ever made’.
The main problem with the Mondial is that it was followed by the 308, which made everyone forget about the Mondial or, when they remember, it made them say it was ‘not as good as the 308’, which might be true, but it’s also significantly less expensive.
With a bit of luck, it’s not impossible to find a Mondial in good condition under $50,000.
That relatively low price gives it huge potential for the future.
Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series
The AMG Black Series was the souped-up version of the regular CLK63, which in turn was the souped-up version of the standard CLK.
With the Black Series, Mercedes threw logic out of the window and just focused on having fun while building this car.
Most of the body panels were replaced with carbon fiber ones, and Mercedes then gave it a bigger spoiler and bucket seats.
They also removed the rear seats, because who needs them, right?
After that, they gave its meaty, powerful, loud 6.2-liter V7 500 horsepower and a new top speed of 186mph.
Only 500 were built, including 349 for the U.S. market.
Power and rarity are two of the three factors that make it special.
The third one is the fact that – in a world that gets more digital with each day – the Black Series feels refreshingly analog.
Jaguar XJ220
The Jaguar XJ220 was the fastest car in the world until the McLaren F1 came along, and it was the fastest production car around the Nürburgring until 2001.
Only 275 XJ220s were built, and you’d need about $500,000 to buy one these days, which is actually more or less the same amount of money you’d have needed back when it was new.
Considering how rare it is and how expensive some supercars can get, $500,000 isn’t that much in the big scheme of things.
In 10 or 20 years, this could easily become a seven-figure car.
Lamborghini Urraco
The Urraco isn’t the most popular or sought-after Lamborghini in the world, but there are a few reasons why its value could go up.
For starters, it was designed by the late car designer Marcello Gandini – the man who also gave us the Countach and the Miura – and its 1970s ‘wedge’ shape will always be iconic.
The second reason is rarity.
Only 791 Urracos were produced, which means the Urraco is just as rare as the Miura.
The third and most important is its current market value, which is currently pretty low, some would say too low for a Lambo.
