Modern grand tourers are faster, safer, and more connected than ever. But a quiet group of collectors is deliberately paying more for sports cars with less — less digital intrusion, fewer invasive driver aids, and no complex software steering for them.These are the analog GTs: front-engined grand tourers from roughly 1990 to 2004, built around V8s, V12s, and naturally aspirated powertrains that spoke directly through the steering wheel and throttle pedal. While early electronic assists were starting to emerge, they lacked the overbearing lane-keep nudges and endless drive-mode submenus of today. Still offering a pure connection between the car and the driver. 1999 Maserati 3200 GT Market Value: $18,302 Via: Bring A TrailerThe Maserati 3200 GT was presented at the 1998 Paris Motor Show and marked Maserati's return to proper grand touring after years of Biturbo-era struggle. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, it was powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.2-liter V8 producing 365 hp, with a top speed of 174 mph and 0–62 mph in 5.3 seconds. It was also among the first production cars with full LED taillights, in the brand's now-iconic boomerang arrangement.Via: Bring A Trailer Of the 4,795 built between 1998 and 2002, just 2,689 were six-speed manual GTs — the one to find. The Classic.com currently puts average-condition examples at around $18,302. Buy it for the twin-turbo V8, the Giugiaro bodywork, and an Italian GT experience that the market has not yet fully priced in. 2001 Jaguar XK8 Coupe Market Value: $20,000 Via: Bring A TrailerThe Jaguar XK8 coupe arrived in 1996 on a platform shared with the Aston Martin DB7, replacing the XJS with something that finally looked the part. The naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V8 produced 290 horsepower, and the long hood, short deck proportions drew obvious E-Type references that have aged remarkably well. This was a car built for covering ground comfortably, not chasing lap times.Via: Bring A Trailer Pre-2003 cars came with Automatic Stability Control as standard and optional traction control; full Dynamic Stability Control arrived with the 2003 facelift. Good examples trade between $15,000 and $25,000 today — the same Aston Martin-derived platform as the supercharged XKR, at a significant discount, and without the forced-induction complexity. Hagerty notes the pool of well-preserved examples is shrinking steadily. 2000 Jaguar XKR Coupe Market Value: $26,700 Via: MecumThe XKR reached the US market for the 2000 model year with a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 producing 375 hp and 387 lb-ft, paired with a five-speed Mercedes-built automatic. It covered 0–60 mph in 5.2 seconds and was electronically limited to 155 mph, riding on the same DB7-derived platform as the XK8 with hood louvers, mesh grille, and a rear spoiler to set it apart visually.Via: Mecum Hagerty placed it on its 2024 Bull Market list at a guide price of $26,700 for an excellent-condition example. A car with an original base price of $82,000 in 2000 — around $122,500 today — currently averages $28,400 in concours condition. That gap between original cost and current value is one of the widest in the GT segment, and it will not stay that way indefinitely. 1999 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Market Value: $63,125-$90,500 Via: Bring A TrailerThe DB7 Vantage arrived at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show with a naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V12 producing 420 horsepower and 400 pound-feet — the first V12 in a production Aston Martin. The six-speed manual version reaches 60 mph in around 5.0 seconds and tops out at 185 mph. A switchable traction control system was fitted to help manage the V12's power, but it lacked any modern stability control, making it a delightfully organic drive.Via: Bring A Trailer Approximately 7,000 DB7s were built across the full 1993–2004 production run. Hagerty currently values a good-condition manual transmission example at around $40,000, with the best cars approaching $90,000. The six-speed manual commands a meaningful premium over the automatic, and Global Autosports projects the V12 Vantage appreciating at 3–5% annually through the end of the decade. 1997 Mercedes-Benz SL500 R129 Market Value: $67,000 Via: Bring A TrailerBruno Sacco's R129 went on sale in 1990 and ran through 2001, and every one came with ABS and ASR traction control as standard — Mercedes was an early adopter of both. ESP became optional on the SL500 from 1996, with some 1997 cars leaving the factory fitted with it. The electronics were sophisticated for the era and reflect how seriously the R129 was engineered, not a compromise to its driving character.Via: Bring A Trailer The SL500's 5.0-liter V8 produced between 302 and 322 hp depending on model year. The Classic Valuer currently puts average-condition examples at around $17,000, with the strongest recorded sales reaching $67,500. But one did sell for $117,000 on Bring a Trailer in March 2026. Post-facelift 1998-onward cars and any AMG variant command the highest premiums, and condition matters more here than on almost any other car on this list. 1993 Porsche 928 GTS Market Value: $168,000-$250,000 Via: Bring A TrailerThe Porsche 928 GTS debuted in Europe in 1992 and reached North America in late 1992 as a 1993 model — the final and most focused version of a car Porsche originally intended to replace the 911. Its 5.4-liter V8 produced 345 horsepower in US specification, with widened rear fenders, a broader track, Brembo brakes, and 17-inch Cup wheels as standard. It covers 0–60 in 5.4 seconds and tops 171 mph.Via: Bring A Trailer While the 928 GTS lacked modern, invasive stability control systems, it features Porsche's advanced PSD variable limited-slip differential. This system acted as an early, highly effective form of mechanical traction control by adjusting lockup dynamically based on wheel speed. Data shows good-condition 928 values grew 24 percent between 2019 and 2024, with excellent-condition cars up 80 percent over the same period. The GTS currently sits at around $109,000 in good condition, with the strongest examples pushing well past $160,000 at auction. 1997 Ferrari 456 GT Market Value: $124,000-$146,000 Via: Bring A TrailerThe Ferrari 456 GT arrived in the US as Ferrari's flagship 2+2 grand tourer, pairing a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter 65-degree V12 producing 436 horsepower with a six-speed manual transaxle at the rear for near-ideal weight distribution. Top speed was 186 mph; 0–60 took approximately 4.8 seconds. Fewer than 3,300 total examples were built across the original 456 GT and the updated 456M that followed in 1998.Via: Bring A Trailer While very early cars were completely unassisted, Ferrari introduced a switchable ASR traction control system to the 456 GT starting with the 1996 model year. Still, a pre-M car with the six-speed manual remains the purist's choice. Hagerty auction records show a 1995 456 GT selling for $112,350 in early 2026, while a 1997 456 GTA automatic achieved $54,077 — the spread between those two results shows exactly what the manual premium is worth. When new, the 456 GT carried a sticker price of $245,000. 1994 BMW 850CSi Market Value: $136,000-$203,000 Via: Bring A TrailerBMW gave the 850CSi to its M division, which bored the V12 from 5.0 to 5.6 liters, raised output to 381 horsepower and 406 pound-feet, and fitted a six-speed manual as the only available gearbox. The WBS VIN prefix confirms every CSi as an M-built car. Just 1,510 were made worldwide between 1992 and 1996, with only 225 reaching the US market.Via: Bring A Trailer The 850CSi came standard with ASC+T traction control, Electronic Damper Control, and a drive-by-wire throttle. European cars also received AHK — a hydraulically-controlled four-wheel steering system that could turn the rear wheels up to 2.5 degrees. These were pioneering systems for the early 1990s and are part of the car's historical significance. Hagerty confirms US values have more than doubled over the past five years, with Concours condition cars now at $203,000, excellent condition at $136,000. With only 225 US-market examples in existence, supply has a hard ceiling that demand is only beginning to test. 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello Market Value: $262,000–$315,000 Via: Bring A TrailerIn 1996 Ferrari ended 23 years of mid-engined flagship V12 coupes and returned to a front-engine, rear-transaxle layout with the 550 Maranello. Its naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V12 produced 485 horsepower and 419 pound-feet, paired exclusively with a six-speed manual and an open metal gate shifter. Ferrari built 3,083 coupes between 1996 and 2001 — every one a manual, no automatic ever offered.Via: Bring A Trailer The 550 Maranello came with switchable ASR traction control — adjustable between Normal and Sport modes or switched off entirely — along with electronically-controlled adaptive dampers and four-channel ABS. No stability control was fitted. Its successor, the 575M, introduced paddle shifters that quickly became the dominant choice, making the 550 the last Ferrari flagship V12 built exclusively with a traditional gearbox and gate. Hagerty documents a 7.5% recent value increase with Concours examples reach $315,000, Classic.com records an average sale price of $169,489.Sources: Hagerty, Classic, The Classic Valuer, Bring a Trailer
