The most expensive new car ever built was the Tesla that was sent into space as a payload at a cost of $90 million.

Even a Saudi prince would need to kill a couple more Kashoggis to afford one of those.

It’s just a warmed over Veyron with a bigger price tag. The Konigsegg will eat its lunch, and has.

How many cup holders?

Seriously though, I wouldn’t be surprised if there wasn’t a wait list for these things.

I’ll wait until the end of the model year and see if I can get a deal on a leftover.

Generally, I think the veyrons are pretty ugly, but that. Yowza. If I had the scratch, it’d be like having my own personal Batmobile. Yeah.

On the lottery winner thread folks were thinking what would one do with $600 million. I guess you could buy one of these. Except it would drop you down to $590 million.

While I agree that folks that earn their money legally have my upmost respect and can spend it anyway they want - it really does seem like such a waste to me. Although I’m sure some homeless guy thinks it a waste that we have two empty bedrooms in our house.

My brother knows a guy that would always come to the shooting range with a different, and very fancy older car each time. He finally asked him about it - “Are you a dealer in rare cars?”

No - I sold my company. Later that year I went down to Barretts Car Auction as I had my eye on a couple of cars. I ended up buying 62. I keep thinking that I should start selling some off, but its really tough.”

Later conversations - it turns out the company he sold made latex hospital gloves! He started it just before AIDS became a thing. I forget how many plants he had scattered all over the world when he sold it.

The $90 million was just the dealer destination fee.
