The 10 Most Expensive Cars... Ever
By Claire Martin of MSN Autos
The priciest cars in the world are as much specimens of automotive engineering as they are moving masterpieces of luxury. These are the most nimble, fastest, and innovative machines on the road. Exotic, lightweight materials in the body, dashboards that resemble fighter-jet cockpits, and leather from floor to ceiling are just a few of the standard bells and whistles one can expect when you own one of the meticulous pieces if metal. All of them cost more than most Americans spend on a home. From a $500,000 Mercedes that goes 200-plus mph, to the ultimate in Aston Martin design for $1.4 million, to a $2.1 million Swedish creation that could compete in Formula One — here are the most expensive street-legal cars ever made.

THE 10 MOST EXPENSIVE CARS... EVER
10. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster — $495,000
One of the fastest convertibles to date, the SLR McLaren Roadster hits 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and can reach speeds up to 208 mph — and Mercedes says it's possible for the driver and passenger to have a conversation with the top down at up to 120 mph. This car combines Mercedes-Benz style and luxury with McLaren Formula One technology; the two companies teamed up from 2003 to 2009 to build this fire-breathing beast. The entire interior is covered in leather, and the seats are custom upholstered. The doors are part scissor door, part gull-wing (think DeLorean). Surprising features include an automatic transmission and a body that's 100 percent carbon fiber. Safety measures

    Most of us eagerly await the foretold ZL-1 and Z/28 versions but for now the SS is a stellar performer. GM says 70% of the car is new and in total it weighs some 200 lbs (91 kg) less than its predecessor. The SS has 455-horsepower from a V8 and that makes it one of the fastest Camaros ever created. It also has a version of GM’s first 8-speed transmission that sounds like a lot of gears but assists the car to 60 mph (100 kph) in only 4 seconds flat. Add in functional aerodynamic aids like hood vents and a spoiler and you have a Camaro that feels solid at its 160 mph (257 kph) top…

    Therefore, our initial though was the vehicle value is determined when first offered for sale as a new vehicle in Indiana then that value is depreciated. In this logic the base value is determined when the vehicle was first offered for sale; however, the deprecation is applied separately. Since IC 6-6-5-3 (c)(2) indicates we should reduce by "...the most recent annual reference to the Consumer Price Index for Private New Automobiles..." our logic was that this was to happen on an annual basis. With IC 6-6-5-3 (c) "...beginning with the 1990 model year..." our logic was that it was to apply to vehicles with a model year 1990 and greater.…
