Porsche 911 Turbo as an investment: prices, returns and comparison

The Porsche 911 Turbo as an investment: real auction prices per generation, annualised returns and a direct comparison with Bitcoin, the S&P 500 and gold.

What does a 911 Turbo return as an investment — and does it beat Bitcoin, equities or gold? This page shows real sale prices for 5 generations, the annualised return derived from them, and performance side by side with the major asset classes. It is based on 774 recorded sales from public auction archives.

Generation, not individual car. Each series is the median of real hammer prices for one generation. Condition, mileage and options vary widely within that — which is exactly why individual sales appear as dots. Every dot in the chart is a price actually paid at auction, not an estimate and not an asking price.

Data note 1

Price index for this asset class

No index is computed for this class, deliberately. An entry here denotes a model generation, not an individual car. Two hammer prices for a 930 Turbo are two different cars with their own mileage and history — the variation the method is meant to remove is already inside the pair.
