Outrageously Expensive Cars That Will Make Your Jaw Drop

1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster – $9,680,000

Built to order for the wealthiest and most demanding enthusiasts, the Mercedes-Benz 540 K Special Roadster was the flagship of the brand in the prewar years. Introduced in 1936, just 26 540 K Special Roadsters were constructed before the Second World War brought new car construction to a halt, and of these, only a few were originally exported to the United States. 

1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB – $9,725,000

Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the one-of-a-kind coupe (chassis No. 3269 GT) was built by the coachworks for its owner, Giuseppe “Nuccio” Bertone, to become his personal conveyance. Unmistakable with its shark-nosed front end, the car has a 240 hp bite packaged in a unique and aggressively styled body. Handling is helped by four-wheel, vacuum-assisted disc brakes and an independent coil-spring front suspension.
