PORSCHE 918 Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 54 PORSCHE 918s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 68 in 2018 Q4 — only 79% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 14 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 1 (1.9%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 46% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up. In all, the PORSCHE 918 is rarer than 65% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
