Note: Registration statistics are official data from the Federal Motor Transport Authority in Flensburg. The division into the respective classes is based on a key number via the manufacturer. Models which are not available on the German market or which are no longer produced may also appear in the statistics. This peculiarity can appear in the KBA statistics if, for example, foreign vehicles are registered for the first time in Germany or if vehicles are given a new identification number.

Conclusion
Sports cars are certainly vehicles of nostalgia – and will remain so in the future. But it’s becoming increasingly clear: Anyone who spends a lot of money on a car in Germany would rather have a big SUV in the garage than a sleek, dynamic car. Moreover, there is no indication that there will be a lasting recovery in terms of market share – the overall market is currently getting too crazy for that.
