10 Of The Most Expensive Limousines In The World by lozairio(m): 9:51pm On Oct 25, 2014
The limousine is the pinnacle of all luxury cars. It allows for
the passenger to sit back and enjoy the ride while being
entertained by some of the finest features to ever be put into a
vehicle. When a limo drives by or pulls over to a curb,
everyone looking on knows that the person or persons riding in
those back seats are rolling in cash.
Limousines can be very pricey investments. They will typically
range anywhere from $100,000 to $300,000. However, some
people do not feel that the everyday limo is enough to satisfy
their needs. Some would prefer something ever more luxurious
and are willing to spend a much bigger wad of cash in order to
obtain it.
All the limos on this list cost at least $1 million to purchase.
They are not your everyday limousines. These are highly
customized or absolute top-of-the-line models. If they are not
one of a kind they are one of just a very limited amount.
Companies typically do not produce these cars until they are
asked to by a customer because they are very expensive to
build and in many cases a buyer will want it customized to his
or her specific tastes. In order to accommodate the buyer’s
wishes, companies are forced to throw a huge price tag on
these vehicles.

10. Lamborghini Aventador Stretch
Limo: Value Unknown
In 2013, the limousine company Cars for Stars designed the
concept for a Lamborghini Aventador stretch limo. The limo
would be fitted with Lamborghini’s 6.5 liter V12 engine which
pushes up to 700 horsepower. Aside from the looks and power
of a Lamborghini, the interior would be custom fitted with
everything you would expect from a high-end limo. The rear is
designed to fit up to seven people, features an L-shaped couch
and has plasma TVs, Ipod hookups, and even a champagne bar.
It isn’t a reality yet, and the inevitably steep price tag attached
to such a creation might ensure that it never does become one,
but we felt it belonged on this list out of pure awesomeness.

9. Mercedes-Benz S-600 Pullman: $1
million
The Mercedes-Benz S-600 Pullman has already been shown at
various car shows throughout the world. It is scheduled to be
officially released to consumers in 2015. It was designed as the
replacement to the Maybach 62. Maybach was a company
owned by Mercedes-Benz that specialized in high luxury
limousines. The Maybach line was pulled because it was
unable to compete with Rolls Royce and Bentley. The S-600
Pullman is a 21-foot limo with amour plating capable of
resisting gunfire and small explosives. Its price is set at a cool
$1 million.

8. The Million Euro Mini: $1.35 million
The most expensive Mini Cooper in the world is pink. The
“Million Euro Mini” is owned by Princess Regina
Abdurazakova of Kazakhstan. It is fitted with a 47 inch TV
screen, 70 TFT monitors, 30 parking sensors, and 20 parking
cameras. The body is covered in over one million tiny
Swarovski crystals. Each wheel has an eight centimeter crystal
in the middle. The window films are made up of about 50 grams
of pure gold. The Mini cost about one million Euros or $1.35
million US.

7. Maybach Landaulet: $1.4 million
Maybach was Mercedes-Benz’s luxury limousine production
company until it was ended in 2013. Though their limos were
considered more luxurious than Bentleys or Rolls Royces, their
high price tags and lack of name recognition caused them to be
unable to sell as many models as their competitors. The
Landaulet was based on the style of limousines that made
Maybach one of the most popular luxury car brands in the
1920s. It used a 62S 612 horsepower bi-turbo V12 engine. The
car was famous for its retractable hard roof that allowed for its
passengers to soak in the sun if desired. It was fitted with white
leather with gold-flecked granite inlays and although not a
“stretch” limousine, it still cost about $1.4 million.

6. The Midnight Rider: $2.5 million
The Midnight Rider was designed in 1986 and is the world’s
largest for-hire limousine, and it’s anything but traditional. The
limo is constructed out of a tractor trailer body and can hold up
to 40 passengers. It features three separate lounge areas all
equipped with 1,800 watt speaker systems. The trailer includes
an on-board night club complete with DJ and a full size bar
with bartenders. The Midnight Rider is worth an estimated $2.5
million and it holds the world record for being the world’s
heaviest limousine.

5. The Beast: $3 million
The Beast may very well be the world’s classiest tank. It was
commissioned in 2009 to carry the President of the United
States. There are actually twelve of these Cadillac limos and
three travel in processions at all times. The one carrying the
president is known as Cadillac One. Typically, one of these
Cadillac limos would cost about $300,000, but the government
has poured in over $3 million into this vehicle to ensure the
president’s safety. The Beast is fitted with enough armor to
withstand an RPG attack. Since The Beast is classified as a
matter of national security it is unknown to the public what the
exact capabilities of the car are. It is known that it has
firefighting equipment, oxygen tanks and masks, tear gas, and
shotguns. However, it is highly rumored that it also has built in
grenade launchers.

4. Rolls Royce Phantom Limo: $3.8
million
It is probably surprising to see this above the limousine used to
drive around the president of one of the world’s most powerful
countries, but a version of this limo popped up in China worth
around $3.8 million USD. The stock Rolls Royce Phantom is
one of the priciest cars in the world to begin with, but this
Phantom Limo is fitted with bulletproof armor and a full sized
office along with all the luxury features of a Rolls Royce. It has
a 6.8 liter V12 engine capable of pushing out 432 horsepower.

Jay Ohrberg. It is the world’s longest limo, stretching for 100
feet, and has 26 wheels. Its long list of features include a
heated Jacuzzi, a sun deck, a swimming pool, king sized beds,
and a helicopter landing pad. This mansion on wheels is worth
about $4 million.

2. Batmobile Limousine: $4.2 million
The Batmobile Limousine is the perfect ride for the nerdy kid
who grew up to make billions of dollars. It is designed
completely after the Tim Burton Batman movie series that
lasted from 1989 to 1992. It was built in 2012 and features all
the gadgets Batman used in the movies. This includes rocket
and missile launchers and the ejecting front and rear wheels.
The car itself is fitted with a V8 Corvette jet engine. It cost
$4.2 million to recreate the cinema icon and stretch it into a
limo.

1. The Sultan of Brunei’s Custom Rolls
Royce Silver Spur Limo: $14 million

record for the largest collection of cars. It is estimated his
entire collection is worth over $4 billion. He also holds the

Royces sold throughout the entire world. He had the company
design a very special car for his wedding day. The Sultan
purchased a Rolls Royce Silver Spur stretch limousine and had
it plated with pure 24 carat gold. It is valued at a mind boggling
$14 million.

Someone rides one of these limos and over half of the world population still live in abject poverty. Food for thoughts.

Interesting fact about the most expensive car :

1962 Ferrari 250 GTO set to be auctioned by Bonhams on August 14, 2014. Bonhams is set to auction off this 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, and it is almost guaranteed to be the most anyone has ever paid for a car.
