Few cars come close to this particular model of Mercedes Benz, which combines class and exclusivity. Only 406 of these cars were ever produced and there are only 3 functions pieces remaining. The car was first put into production in 1936 and had an 8-cylinder engine that could give out 180 JP of displacement and a top speed of 160 km/ph. The car has changed hands with well-known owners around the world, including Bernie Ecclestone who purchased the vehicle for $8.25 million in 2007. The 1937 Mercedes 540K is currently the most expensive Mercedes to be sold at auction. [Pic: BenzInsider]

While celebrating its 125th anniversary, Mercedes introduced a special series of its flagship car, the Maybach, which featured exclusive detailing of Swarovski crystals on the interiors. In addition, the car was made with a LED lighted and laser engraved logo of Maybach on the back center armrest and a Wilhelm Maybach signature stitched on the opening switch of the glove compartment. Upholstery was black leather with silver colored linings and featured carbon trimmings in numerous places. Outside, the car featured a Tahiti black and Patagonia silver paint job with a special front bumper, LED running lights, redesigned front grille and 19-inch wheels. Though the masterpiece never went on sale, wealthy customers could have these same customizations done on order. [Pic: MotoWard]

The body featured a number of components in carbon fiver along with 8 fog lamps to maintain visibility dyring the night time near the dessert.

While some people buy cars to get from point A to point B, the owner of this incredible Mercedes SL is probably prone to taking the long route to show off his ride.
