I just can’t get enough of these “billionaire” cars. They are expensive, but they’re all worth it. I mean, once you’ve taken a peek at the specs of these cars you’ll know that you’re not just paying for the name. You’ll get the best value for every cent that you pay. You’ll get impressive horsepower and acceleration, acceptable gas mileage, comforts fit for a king, top-of-the-line features and functionality. Best of all, they are all wrapped in one impressive package. These cars do more than make people take a second look. It’s the stuff you only see in dreams turned into reality. So you better run to the nearest Walmart, buy a piggy-bank and put a dime every day. If you do that religiously, in about 30-40 years you’ll be able to buy your own “billionaire” car. Here are a couple of options that you can choose from (that is, if you’re delusional enough to think you’ll be able to afford one in the near future):
Venturi Fetish Convertible
Whoever said green cars aren’t built for speed? This electric car is able to produce 200 hp at 5400 rpm. The engine’s performance is similar to that of a typical sports car with an internal combustion engine. It even looks like one. In some aspects, the Venturi Fetish even surpasses a number of popular sports cars. It is said to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. That’s just phenomenal. It tops out at 160 kmh, but that is already impressive considering the fact that it only has one gear. This alternative to fuel-powered cars is very popular to billionaires who are committed to keeping the environment clean. If green cars were all like this, and they have a cheaper price tag, I wouldn’t mind trading my gas-guzzling car for one. And by the way, when it first came out it costs about $460,000, but the last time I checked it’s in the market for only $392,000. Pretty neat, eh?! If you want a flashy, but environment-friendly car, this is the one you should get.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Do you know what SLR stands for? That’s Speed, Light, Racing. And Mercedes-Benz didn’t just put that on the model name just to make it sound cooler. The car actually lives up to its name. Check this out: It sports a supercharged 5.5L, 24 valve AMG V-8 engine capable of producing as much as 617 hp at 6,500 rpm. It kinda makes you think twice about getting a Venturi Fetish Convertible. And to think, it’s a couple of thousand dollars cheaper than the Fetish. Its msrp last I checked is $453,000. It is considered the fastest automatic transmission car in production. Many people compare it to the Porsche Carrera GT and Enzo Ferrari, but I think this car beats those two by a mile. In fact, this shouldn’t be placed in a showroom next to those two because they’ll just look bad. It sounds like it should be driven only in a race-track, but it’s actually very suitable for city-driving.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Convertible
Finally, the crème de la crème: the Phantom Drophead. Dubbed as the most extravagant convertible in factory lines at the present time, it is the production version of two very famous concept cars, the 100EX convertible and the 101EX coupe. For its seemingly huge size, it packs a mean punch; it can accelerate from 0-60 mph in under 6 seconds. That’s pretty impressive for a car which name sounds like a Russian submarine. If you want to get one, you will have to get in line because there’s a waiting list. Its base price is $412,000, so you better start savin’.
