Million Dollar Cars
There are million dollar
cars and there are even multi-million dollar cars in the world today. But which of the
(multi)-million dollar cars are truly worth the money and which are not? After all, not all super-luxury cars are created equal;
they look, feel and drive quite differently from each other.Let's start at the top of the totem pole. Weighing in at $8,000,000 and literally weighing in at 2.7 tons is the carbon fiber and neoprene Maybach Exelero (see the photo on the right) whose price tag is inflated since most of it is the research cost to build a one-off custom made car.
Among the cars that you can actually buy, the 1,000 horsepower Bugatti Veyron tops the list at $2,000,000. Slightly less powerful but sexier are a couple of $1,000,000 cars: Ferrari Enzo and the ultra-sleek Saleen.
Thereafter, we drop down to cars that cost mere 6 figures. Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren and Porsche Carrera GT are two of the cars that weigh in at $500,000. In between $500,000 and $250,000 are the likes of Lamborghini Murcielago, Aston Martin Vanquish, Ferrari F430, and the less sporty Maybach 62 and 57, Rolls Royce Phantom, Bentley Arnage and Brooklands.
Under $250,000 lie the mass market BMWs, the other Mercedes Benz, Porsches, etc. So back to our question: which car is worth the investment? Or more precisely, which one should you buy?
