Forbes 10 Most Expensive Cars by holufemy: 7:20am On Jul 19, 2015 |
Here are 10 of the most expensive street legal production cars on the market. Concept Cars are not included, only cars available in the market right now. All cars are 2014 and 2015 models. 10. Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Coupe Country of Origin: Germany Engine: 621-hp, 6.0-liter, bi-turbo V-12 0-60 mph: 4.2 seconds Starting price: $215,500 The Mercedes-Benz AMG division used to be a separate company that souped up stock Mercedes-Benz models. Bigger, more powerful engines continue to be the heart and soul of the AMG treatment, even though the company became a wholly owned subsidiary years ago. The engine in the Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Coupe is a handcrafted V-12. The AMG tradition is that the individual master craftsman who builds each engine puts his signature on it when he’s finished. That’s not to say the end product is some quaint relic. Top speed is 186 mph, not bad for a car that could be used as a family car, unlike a two-seat racecar. 9. Aston Martin Vanquish Country of Origin: United Kingdom Engine: 565-hp, 6.0-liter V-12 0-62 mph (that is, 100 km per hour): 4.1 seconds Starting price: $279,995 The Aston Martin Vanquish is a two-door hardtop coupe, which also comes as a convertible, called the Volante. It’s the first Aston Martin with lightweight but strong carbon-fiber body panels. Top speed is 183 mph. Aston Martin also offers a long list of personalized options like matching a favorite color to paint the exterior, or custom leather. Aston Martin calls the customized collection of options “Q by Aston Martin.” Aston Martin’s brand image is caught up with classic James Bond movies. 8. Bentley Mulsanne Country of Origin: United Kingdom Engine: 505-hp, 6.75-liter, twin-turbo V-8 0-60 mph: 5.1 seconds Starting price: $298,900 Bentley calls the Bentley Mulsanne “the grandest of grand tourers.” The interior has features like wood veneers and leather upholstery made from “blemish-free” hides, from herds raised in cooler climates where there are fewer insects. Having said that, performance is pretty amazing, considering it weighs close to 6,000 pounds. 7. Ferrari F12berlinetta Country of Origin: Italy Engine: 740-hp, 6.3-liter, V-12 0-62 mph: 3.1 seconds Starting ?price: $315,888 The Ferrari F12berlinetta (that’s how Ferrari writes it, all one word) has a top speed of “over 211 mph,” the company said. Not only that, it reaches 125 mph in only 8.5 seconds. Ferrari says it has the fastest acceleration of any road-going Ferrari – as opposed to Ferrari racecars, which are confined to the track. 6. Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase Country of Origin: United Kingdom Engine: 453-hp, 6.75-liter V-12 0-60 mph: 5.8 seconds Starting price: $298,900 The Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase model is about nine inches longer than the standard-wheelbase. That extra room is most noticeable in the back seat, where the owner presumably will spend a lot of his or her time being driven around. The brand image is old-fashioned but Rolls-Royce’s current cars have high-tech features like cameras at five locations to watch out for obstacles when parking, and to project the predicted path on a screen when reversing. 5. Porsche 918 Spyder Country of Origin: Germany Engine: 887 hp (total output), 4.6-liter V-8 with two electric motors 0-62 mph: 2.5 seconds Starting price: $845,000 Besides the hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain, other innovations include rear-wheel steering, where the rear wheels adjust slightly in turns. It can go up to 19 miles on battery power alone. By itself, the V-8 gasoline engine produces 608 hp. Like many race cars, the Porsche 918 Spyder is largely built of lightweight but strong carbon fiber-reinforced polymer. The lightweight, even more racing-oriented Weissach Package of options boosts the sticker price to $929,000.
