Mercedes Benz Special Edition Cars
1) 1937 Mercedes 540K
When combining class and exclusivity, very few cars are indeed of any competition to this particular model. Of the 406 pieces that were ever produced, only 3 functional pieces still remain today. First put into production in 1936, this car had an 8-cylinder engine that could give out 180 HP of displacement, and a top speed of 160 km/ph. The time taken to reach from 0-100 km/ph was 16.4 seconds on the 4-speed manual transmission system. The car had changed hands with well known owners in different continents, including Bernie Ecclestone who had bought the vehicle for $8.25 million in 2007. Considering that value, it became the most expensive Mercedes to be sold at an auction when it went under the hammer earlier this year.
