Man this is one hell of a car. Definitely falling into the "if you have to ask how much, you can’t afford it" category is the 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition carrying an estimated price of $480,000.

This is the limited edition Mercedes for the well heeled that find the normal SLR McLaren MB has been making for several years now to common for their tastes. Mercedes is only making 150 of these monstrosities and each and every one of the ultimate Mercedes street rides is taken. Cars like this inevitably make those who can’t afford them accuse those who can of trying to compensate for something they are lacking, typically the penis. I like the way Tim Allen puts it, what guy wouldn’t want a two ton penis on wheels?

Motivating this automotive equivalent of a super model is a hand made super-charged and intercooled V8 engine born from the AMG works in Germany capable of punishing the pavement with 641 horsepower at 6500 rpm with 605 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm. Those numbers translate into an eye peeling 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 209 mph. Story and image via Motor Trend
