Maybach 62 - $385,250

Maybach 62 features a 12 Cylinder, SOHC, 5.5 liter engine that can produce 543 horse power.
62 is an ultra-luxury sedan (made by Mercedes-Benz), which shockingly proves, that even such expensive cars to build, can turn into profit for car-makers.
Due to the fact that we list U.S. prices, Maybach 62 took 9th place. However the European version of Maybach 62 is more expensive than SLR McLaren (7th place) in Europe, while the retail price of U.S. version of the SLR is higher than any Maybach. It may have been more interesting not to include two such similar models from the same manufacturer, but we have decided to stick with the official Forbes list of the most expensive cars.

Cadillac Converj Concept

Cadillac’s most exciting new concept yet, the futuristic Converj was created with beauty in mind. Building on the Chevrolet Volt, GM is equipping the Converj with a more advanced version of the Volt’s E-REV system called Voltec. This includes a 120-kW (161 hp) electric motor, powered by a 16-kWh, T-shaped battery pack, and is recharged via a four-cylinder range-extending engine. Producing 273 lb.-ft of torque, the top speed of the Converj is 100 mph.
Fully powered by its electric motor, the front-wheel drive Converj can travel up to 40 miles on electricity alone before the engine is needed to generate more electrical energy. The batteries can also be fully recharged in eight hours from a regular 110-volt household outlet. Riding on 21 in. (front) and 22 in. (rear) wheels with a suspension system featuring GM’s Magnetic Ride Control adjustable shocks, as well as an all-glass roof and cameras in place of side mirrors, the Converj concept is surely something of beauty.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder

At 2811 lb., the Boxster Spyder weighs 176 lb. less than the Boxster S, due partly to aluminum door skins and lighter interior door panels from the 911 GT3 RS. Less weight, combined with an upgraded direct-injected 3.4-liter flat-6 producing 320 bhp (an increase of 10 bhp over the Boxster S) and Porsche’s twin-clutch PDK transmission, enable the Boxster Spyder to reach 60 mph in just 4.6 sec., according to the manufacturer. For sure that’s a conservative figure, as we achieved 0–60 in 4.1 sec. in a 2009 Boxster S equipped with PDK (see R&T, July 2009 issue). Hard-core convertible fans will be happy to know that the Boxster Spyder is capable of reaching a top-down top speed of 166 mph.

Unlike the limited-edition Boxster Spyders from 2004 and 2008, the 2011 Boxster Spyder will be a regular production model sold alongside the Boxster and Boxster S. The 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder goes on sale in February 2010 at a price of $61,200.
