The 7 Most Overrated Supercars (That Still Sell Out Anyway) (2025 Edition)

Some supercars are masterpieces.
Some are engineering achievements.
And some… are just expensive hype with great marketing.

But here’s the thing nobody admits:
even the overrated ones still sell out.
Because in the world of supercars, emotion beats logic every single time.

Here are 7 supercars that don’t fully live up to the myth —
yet somehow stay impossible to buy.

1. Lamborghini Huracán EVO

Overrated for: aging platform, predictable sound, minimal evolution
Still sells out because: it’s the “safe” Lamborghini

Ten years on the same chassis.
Ten years on the same powertrain.
Ten years of “new colors” being called innovation.

But it’s a Lambo.
It’s loud.
It’s flashy.
And that’s enough to keep it a showroom trophy.

2. Nissan GT-R (R35)

Overrated for: ancient interior, hefty weight, $140K+ price tag
Still sells out because: the legend refuses to die

The R35 is now old enough to be a college graduate.
Nissan refuses to let it retire, and buyers refuse to let it die.

It’s basically a historical artifact you can still finance.

3. Ferrari Roma

Overrated for: soft handling, diluted identity, not “Ferrari” enough
Still sells out because: it’s the pretty Ferrari

Ferrari built the Roma for people who want a Ferrari…
without actually wanting a Ferrari.

It’s gorgeous, elegant, and safe —
which is exactly why the waiting list stays long.

4. Porsche Taycan Turbo S

Overrated for: range anxiety, battery degradation, weight
Still sells out because: it’s the flex EV

Is it brutally quick? Yes.
Is it a 5,000-pound electric brick? Also yes.

But nothing makes you feel more “I’ve made it” than a silent launch to 60 in 2.3 seconds.

5. McLaren GT

Overrated for: confused identity, soft dynamics, questionable reliability
Still sells out because: it’s the “luxury McLaren”

It looks exotic.
It rides soft.
It understeers.
But to buyers who want a McLaren without the track headaches, the GT is perfect.

It’s the supercar equivalent of a designer hoodie.

6. Audi R8 V10

Overrated for: minimal updates, predictable dynamics
Still sells out because: the engine carries the whole car

The R8 hasn’t changed meaningfully in a decade.
But that V10?
That sound?
That’s eternal.

And people will always pay for nostalgia.

7. Aston Martin DB11

Overrated for: weight, tech, and early reliability
Still sells out because: the badge does the talking

The DB11 is stunning in photos and slightly confused in motion.
But it’s an Aston —
the kind of car you buy to feel wealthy, not to set lap records.

🔥 FINAL THOUGHTS

Being “overrated” doesn’t mean these cars are bad.
They’re just not as legendary as the marketing makes them seem.

But hype is a currency.
And in 2025, hype sells out faster than horsepower.

Which one on this list are you still secretly in love with?
