The EV Revolution Is Making Gas-Powered Icons Even More Valuable

As the world moves forward, some classics are becoming even more priceless. With electric vehicles (EVs) dominating headlines and new policies pushing for the phaseout of combustion engines by the 2030s in many parts of the world, a surprising trend is emerging: the most valuable cars of the future may be from the past.

BUYER GUIDES & ADVICEMARKET TRENDS & INSIGHTS

Why EV Growth = Rising Classic Car Demand

While EVs offer efficiency and sustainability, they can’t replicate the thrill of a V12, the roar of a muscle car, or the intricate mechanics of a manual gearbox. For purists and collectors, these cars represent a lost art.

As automakers pivot to electric fleets, these combustion-engine icons are becoming:

  • Harder to find

  • More limited in supply

  • Culturally and emotionally significant

  • In short: they’re becoming art pieces — drivable ones.

What This Means for Collectors & Investors

The shift to EVs will only increase the value of exotic and classic ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles. Rarity, nostalgia, and mechanical purity will drive long-term demand — especially for limited-edition supercars, muscle cars, and old-school off-roaders.

Canada's Role in Preserving These Icons

Canada offers access to pristine, low-mileage, ICE-powered collectibles, preserved in garages and driven sparingly. At CarExports.ca, we help buyers across the globe secure these assets now — before they become impossible to find.

Dubai as the Gateway to the AMESA Region
