5. 2017 Maserati Quattroporte GTS Granlusso
As the price tags climb, the names become more exclusive. The 2017 Maserati Quattroporte GTS is definitely not out of place on this list of the most expensive luxury cars. This luxury sedan is a breathtaking specimen that travels off the beaten path. The fully customizable interior contains brash leather seating surfaces in bold designs. And in the rear seat, options include rear-seat entertainment with foldable rear tables. Rear bucket seats with heated and ventilated surfaces and 4-zone climate control make it the place to be in this car.
That is, unless you love to drive. The 2017 Maserati Quattroporte GTS is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 with 530 horsepower and an exhaust note that will make you giggle. It’s all for just $145,500 as a starting price.
4. 2017 Aston Martin Rapide S
While James Bond usually drives a coupe, I’m sure he wouldn’t turn his nose up to the 2017 Aston Martin Rapide S. It’s equipped with a 552-horsepower V12 6.0-liter engine and it looks much like a coupe. It’s a luxury performance sedan though.
Aside from thrilling performance, the Rapide S earns every penny of its list price. The waterfall design of the center stack is unlike any other and contains premium features for comfort and control, including push-button shifting. And when you see the interior, prepare to be amazed. The unique, nearly bespoke stitching on the seats is gorgeous and the classic gauges are simply timeless. But that’s what you get when the price tag is hard to find, and amounts to about $203,000.
3. 2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG S65 Sedan
Not much compares with the Mercedes-Benz AMG S65 in terms of production models. In fact, only a Bentley and a Rolls-Royce are more expensive. And for a cool $228,625, this Mercedes is balls out awesome (please excuse the hood rat terminology). Powered by a hand-crafted 6.0-liter V12 biturbo with 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, this ultra-luxury sedan is as enjoyable to drive as it is to be chauffeured around in.
For all the bells and whistles in the 2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG S65, it looks clean and simple inside. But make no mistake, it can be equipped with a split-screen front monitor, heated windshield, a refrigerator in the backseat, and even Mercedes’ own cabin atomizer fragrances for the continuous new car smell.
