Popular cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Mazda MX-5 and Tesla Model X could all be classics of the future, according to motoring experts at cinch . Stylish models such as the Maserati Gran Turismo, family-friendly machines like the Range Rover Evoque and budget options such as the Suzuki Swift are also listed. The 20 options have been backed by radio host and former Top Gear star Chris Evans who is an avid collector. Speaking on Virgin Radio, Evans said: ‘As a lover of classic cars, I’m always on the lookout for current models that stand out from the crowd and look likely to stand the test of time. ‘The cars on this list all have lots going for them, but I particularly like the Mercedes AMG GT and the Mazda MX-5.’ Ford and Range Rover are among the classics of the future (Image: Ford / Land Rover) This was Europe’s best-selling hot hatch back in 2020 and is now tipped to become one of the classics of the future. Capable of 0-62mph in six seconds with its 280hp engine, the model is popular among younger drivers and millennials. Sam Sheehan, spokesperson for cinch feels the model could take over the Fiesta’s mantlepiece as one of the companies standout vehicles. He explained: ‘With the production of Ford Fiestas now over, the ST hot hatch model looks likely to become a future classic. Fast, fun and – most importantly – affordable, it’ll remain a sought-after real-world performance car for years to come.’ Tesla Model X Capable of 0-60mph in just 2.5 seconds, Tesla’s Model X certainly packs a punch. The American auto giant went viral back in 2012 when it showed its machine could go quicker than a Porsche 911. With a range of 337 miles, the model is also practical for long journeys and is at the top end of the electric car market. The Ford Focus ST will remain ‘sought after’ for years to come (Image: Ford) Porsche’s first fully-electric model is stunning visually and even more impressive under the ski. According to the German manufacturer, the model’s 800-volt battery architecture is double the voltage of most other EVs on the market meaning drivers can top up in record time. Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Motoring experts at Evo described the Quadrifoglio as an ‘all-time great’ and ‘surefire icon’. Cinch agrees with the classic Italian marque making it onto their list with ease. Sheehan added: ‘It’s a beautiful and practical saloon, powered by an engine with links to Ferrari. You’d struggle to find a used car with more future classic potential than that. Alfa’s high-powered Giulia Quadrifoglio already feels like a car worthy of a hall of fame.’ The Mercedes AMG GT costs around £150,000 (Image: Mercedes) Millions of people catch a glimpse of this iconic vehicle on Sunday’s with Formula One using the model as one of its official safety cars. Capable of over 195mph, the AMG GT is one of the iconic German marque’s most beautiful models. However, getting your hands on one might be more difficult with a price tag of around £150,000. Mazda MX-5 Around a decade ago, a survey from Footman James claimed the MX-5 would be the most popular classic car in half a century. Seven percent of historic vehicle owners predict the legendary two-seater sports car would go down in folklore. Ten years on and the Mazda is still just as iconic with Hagerty even suggesting prices for second hand models could be on the rise.

The pair have collaborated since the early 2000s but will part ways in December 2023. The match-up with two of Italy’s greatest automakers will surely leave classic car fans of the future desperate to get their hands on one. Range Rover Evoque Demand in SUV’s have surged in recent years and could define the era in years to come. The Range Rover Evoque is among the best examples of combining luxuries with affordability. According to carparison , data from Car Sales Base shows the Evoque is the top-selling Land Rover model in Europe.
