5 Iconic Cars We're Saying Goodbye to in 2025
Discover the 5 legendary cars being discontinued in 2025. From the Bugatti Chiron to the Porsche 718 Cayman, find out why these icons are being retired and what it means for the future of performance motoring.
5 Cars That Won't See 2026: Farewell to Automotive Greatness
As the automotive world charges into an electrified future, 2025 marks the final lap for some of the most iconic combustion-powered machines ever made. From naturally aspirated V10s to record-shattering hypercars, these legends are being retired to make room for hybrids, EVs, and a new era of performance. Here's a look at 5 cars we're waving goodbye to in 2025 — and why they'll be sorely missed.
1. Bugatti Chiron Super Sport – The End of the W16 Era
Power: 1,600 hp
Top Speed: 304 mph
0-60 mph: 2.3 seconds
The Bugatti Chiron wasn’t just a car — it was an engineering event. Powered by a monstrous quad-turbo W16, it redefined the boundaries of speed, power, and price. With just 500 units ever made, Bugatti is retiring the Chiron to make way for its hybrid successor: the Tourbillon. The W16? It's done. And nothing will sound, pull, or feel quite like it again.
2. Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD – The Final Roar
Power: 612 hp
Engine: 5.2L Naturally Aspirated V10
0-60 mph: 3.1 seconds
After nearly 20 years of V10 magic, the Audi R8 is heading off into the sunset. Its final version is a rear-wheel-drive, purist-friendly send-off that delivers theatre, speed, and spine-tingling noise. As Audi pivots toward electrification, the R8 leaves a legacy of quattro brilliance and track-day credibility.
3. Jaguar F-Type R 75 – The Last Big Cat with a Roar
Power: 575 hp
Engine: 5.0L Supercharged V8
0-60 mph: 3.5 seconds
Jaguar's final petrol-powered sports car, the F-Type R 75, is a celebration of everything the brand once stood for: beauty, noise, and character. With Jaguar moving to an all-electric range by 2025, this is your last chance to hear a V8 from Coventry. It bowed out just before things got too quiet.
4. Ferrari Roma – Elegance, Evolved
Power: 620 hp
Engine: 3.9L Twin-Turbo V8
0-62 mph: 3.4 seconds
A gentleman’s GT with brutal capability beneath the surface, the Roma brought timeless style and composure to Ferrari’s line-up. But as Ferrari transitions toward hybrid tech, the Roma coupe is stepping aside for a sharper, faster replacement. Class dismissed, with grace.
5. Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS – A Flat-Six Farewell
Power: 500 hp
Engine: 4.0L Naturally Aspirated Flat-Six
0-60 mph: 3.2 seconds
The GT4 RS isn’t going quietly. With a redline at 9,000 rpm and a soundtrack borrowed from the 911 GT3, it screamed its way to the top of the 718 family. But Porsche is going all-electric for the next-gen Cayman and Boxster — and this is the petrol-powered swan song.
Why This Matters
The discontinuation of these five cars signals more than just the end of certain models. It marks the end of noise, emotion, and mechanical theatre in favour of silence, speed, and sustainability. While the future may be fast, it might never feel quite the same.
