What this segment covers

Two-seat and 2+2 sports cars still bought to be driven: Porsche Boxster, Cayman and the current 911 Carrera, Toyota GT86 and GR86, the MX-5 ND, the Alpine A110, Nissan's 350Z, 370Z and R35 GT-R, BMW M2 and M4, the Lotus range from Elise to Emira, and a few older analogue cars such as the MR2, the Lancer Evolution and the Lotus-built Opel Speedster. The price ladder runs from a Mazda RX-8 to a BMW Z8, and the pattern underneath it is simple: cars still in production depreciate, the analogue survivors do not.

The September 2026 check

19 of the segment's 37 figures were re-checked against live AutoScout24 Germany asking prices on 1 September 2026 and held. 4 came back out of line. Counting live asks that sit above the published figure, the index reads low on the Toyota GT86 ZN6 (18 of 18), the Toyota GR86 ZN8 (31 of 31), the Alpine A110 II (2018) (58 of 58) and the Alfa Romeo 4C 960 (15 of 15). 14 could not be read on a consistent basis, either because Germany carries fewer than ten examples or because the trim cannot be separated from a broader model population, and were carried unchanged. No sports car price moved this month; the method is in the September 2026 market note.

Twelve-month trends

The published 12-month trends across the segment average +0.9%: 23 of 37 are up, 5 flat and 9 down. The strongest riser is the Opel Speedster 2.2 Lotus-built (Hethel) at +4.3% (median 24.000 €); the steepest faller is the BMW M4 Competition G82 at -3.8% (median 63.500 €). The cheapest entry is the Mazda RX-8 SE3P at 9.000 € and the dearest the BMW Z8 E52 at 225.000 €, a span of 25× inside one segment.
