The most expensive (new) car ever?
Figuring that there are still people who have lots of money and who have lots of money to spend on things they don’t absolutely need, Aston-Martin will unveil its new One-77 (the Aston Martin One,with only 77 units built) which will retail for about $1.7M USD–yes, $1,700,000. For that money, you get a V-12 with 700HP, and a claimed top speed of at least 200MPH. I don’t know what gas mileage is, but probably in the 7-10 MPG range.
