Radar Report
Our view on this set, in plain English.
Too early — margin is thin at this price
A technically brilliant build with a licence collectors love, but the market is saturated. Heavy retailer stock and a recent release date mean the story hasn't started yet. Our radar is watching, not buying.

Expected timeframe
30-48 months
Deal quality & demand
Collector demand
Genuine enthusiast interest, but buyers are patient and price-sensitive.
Rarity
Heavy stock levels across every tracked retailer.
Retirement potential
12+ months before the retirement window even opens.
Historical performance
Flagship supercars typically dip below RRP mid-life before recovering.
Future resale appeal
Strong long-term display appeal once supply normalises.
Potential upside
Short-term flip potential
Fees erase the margin at current pricing.
Medium-term growth potential
Expect further softening before supply tightens.
Long-term collector value
Licensed supercars recover well several years after exit.
Great set, wrong moment — wait for the mid-life price trough.
