Default Forbes' most expensive cars.

I found this info on a Polish car site, so I thought I just might post it. The Forbes magazine, known for it's annual "richest guy in the world" ranking, has just done a ranking on the most costly cars available on the American market. Prices in USD:

Ferrari Enzo (652 000)
Porsche Carrera GT (440 000)
Saleen S7 (440 000)
Maybach 62 (352 000)
Rolls Royce Phantom (320 000)
Lamborghini Murcielago (282 000)
Bentley Arnage RL (257 000)
Aston Martin V12 Vanguish (236 000)
Ferrari 575 M Maranello (228 000)
Ferrari 360 Modena Spirit (193 000)


BTW...WTF is a Modena Spirit ??

Yeah, what is the Modena Spirit? Thats curious, because the Maybach 62 has not been imported and Mercedes of Park Avenue (in New York) said that it wouldn't be either for a lack of market.

Good luck finding an Enzo in the U.S. for $650.000! I doubt you can find one under $900000 (except for the crashed one that was on e-bay).

That is the one at 900k ... the rest are over 1.3 million ... and that i think does not count as US formal market

The crashed one was $250000. And, yes, most of the others are probabily grey market.

Is this used cars or new cars? Because wouldnt the Mclaren F1 be the most expensive if it includes used cars?

Offer and demand of course .... there are 399 enzos , ppl are willing to pay up to 1.5 million dollars for them .... so the price rises up till the ppl are willing to pay the most for the cars , which is the problem ?

And all those are grey market cars , the originals were like 600k euros
