The 7 most insanely expensive cars of 2017

Apr 2, 2017, 19:36 IST

1. Lamborghini's much-anticipated Huracán Performante made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Its 5.2-liter, V10 engine produces a very respectable 640 hp.

The roughly $275,000 car can hit 60 mph in just 2.9. The Huracán Performante recently achieved a new production car record on Germany Nürburgring Nordschleife race track with a time of 6 minutes and 52.01 seconds.

2. Mercedes has built the most expensive SUV in the world: the G650 Landaulet. The car, priced at $$666,400, was added to the automakers Maybach luxury line in March.

The off-roader as close to 2 feet of ground clearance and comes with a glass partition just like a limousine. The back seats also have massage programs designed to mimic a hot-stone massage.

The Mercedes SUV comes with a V12 biturbo engine producing 630 horsepower and 738 pounds per foot of torque. Only 99 cars are being made and sold in the fall, but the car won't be available in the US.

3. Rolls-Royce unveiled a car painted with actual diamonds at this year's Geneva Motor Show. Rolls-Royce made the paint using 1,000 "ethically sourced" diamonds.

The paint, named "Diamond Stardust," was applied to the top section of Rolls-Royce's Ghost luxury car.

Rolls-Royce didn't say how much the special paint job costs, but a typical Ghost starts at $300,000. The car was commissioned for an individual collector.

4. Ferrari's gorgeous 812 Superfast made its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. It comes with a 6-liter V12 engine that produces a staggering 780 hp.

The Italian beauty can reach a top speed of 211 mph and accelerate to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds. An exact price has yet to be revealed, but it replaces Ferrari's F12 Berlinetta that starts at $320,000.

5. McLaren's second generation Super Series is a sight to behold. The new McLaren 720S comes with a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 710 hp.

Check out its cool headlights tucked into "eye sockets." Those sockets also feature air intanks.

The car boasts a top speed of 212 mph and can reach 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. The 720S will cost around $290,000, according to Bloomberg.

6. Don't discount it because it's a station wagon — the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo can produce up to 550 hp with the twin-turbo V6 engine option.

The station wagon, which starts at just under $100,000, can hit 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Not bad!

7. Lastly, Lamborghini's Aventador S arrives this spring with a $421,350 price tag.

It comes with a naturally aspirated, 6.5-liter V12 engine that can produce 730 hp. Combined with its power, the Aventador is fast with a top speed of 217 mph.
