Two Words: TOP GEAR

[mlc2000]

The U.S. version of the Zonda S 7.3, which will cost approximately $500,000, will be powered by a 12-cylinder, 7.3-liter Mercedes-Benz AMG engine that produces 555 hp and 553 ft lbs of torque at 4,050 rpm. With a 2,750-pound body made of carbon fiber, the car will dash from zero to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and will reach a top speed of 210 mph, but its twin-plate clutch will make the 6-speed exotic manageable in everyday driving situations. RIGHT!!

So, its a car no one can afford, that can't really be driven anywhere, other than from car show to car show. Sounds like a car for the likes of Jay Leno.

Apparently they are offering a price point version (at $300K) in 2007.

Imagine the insurance.

Imagine the insurance.


paying that amount for the car it self, i doubt a couple hundreds a month(talking high 800-1000) for insurance shouldnt be anything..

[KawaiiTentacleBeast]

50 Cent (http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/09/08/crime.rapper.reut/index.html) doesn't need no stinkin' insurance, and he doesn't shoulder check when changing lanes, either.

A police spokesman said he was cited for making an unsafe lane change, driving with an expired permit, driving without insurance and driving without a vehicle registration.

Was going to say "betcha he gets pulled over alot", but then at 210mph, not necessarily. :lol:

just cuz the car is pricey dont mean the insurance is high.
My nieghbour's buddy has a 2005 Ferrari F430 Spider.
Its worth $200,000CAD.

He pays $2800/yr for insurance.

Yeah, I think sometimes for certain cars, insurance companies classify it as a collectable or something, and you pay less. I really don't know exactly how it works tho.

[Cough]

LOL :cheesygri I guess it was too difficult for OP to read the URL of the picture he posted:

Dont even need to look at the URL, the lisence plate area clearly says "ZONDA S".

[KawaiiTentacleBeast]

360 Spider. 360 Modena is the hardtop. ;)

My friend has an audi S4 (~80k + taxes I think) and I have an impreza 2.5RS (~22k + taxes). We both pay the same price for insurance >:(

The way they see it: No teenager or clueless driver will buy & drive a S4 and if they do, they'll be careful.

Hey, I never even saw the model # on the car, I just compared my pix to ones I found on Google Images.

Anyways, nitpickers, its still a $200K car. That was my point.
