Some cars are designed simply to shuttle humans from point A to point B — these are not those cars. The average purchase price of a new car in the U.S. is around $39,000 — the least expensive car on this list is almost 10 times that figure. These vehicles are not typically daily drivers, although a few owners will drive them with some regularity — but let’s face it, those possessing the means to purchase one of these beauties likely have other options in their garages. So what do buyers get when paying more for a car than most folks pay for their first house? Extreme power, ultimate performance, lavish amenities and exclusivity — here’s a look at the cars (and SUVS) at the upper crust of automotive high society. Note: This list does not include any models with build runs of 10 vehicles or less.
Every car show has two things: lots of great vehicles for browsers to peruse and sports cars. Fast-paced cars are such a staple that most car shows feature them front and center. Displays of supercars, hypercars, muscle cars, and more are found throughout the show floor in Chicago this year.
Above are two great examples from Toyota. The new Supra is getting a lot of attention, and deservedly so. The red one at the right is a standard showroom model (if "standard" applies to a car like this) while the gray one on the left is a lightweight racing concept showing what can happen when carbon fiber is applied. Both are on display in Toyota's booth at the Chicago Auto Show 2020.
