25 Cars For Flossing

Image via Complex Original

The one percent drive some nice cars--BMWs, Audis, and the like--but some of them go more all out than that. This list has everything from century-old one-offs made by hyper-exotic European coach builders, to a modern luxury SUV upholstered in whale penis. Which one would you flaunt your wealth with?

25. Bentley Continental GT

Years Of Production: 2003-present
Cost: $189,000
Famous Owners: Paris Hilton, Denzel Washington, Kim Kardahian, Rio Ferdinandís, just about every other English Premier League soccer player
Complex Says: From the moment of its introduction, the Continental GT was the go-to ride for the rich, famous, and terribly lacking in subtlety.

24. GM Futurliner

Years Of Production: 1953
Cost: $4,300,000
Famous Owners: Oral Roberts
Complex Says: Not many people can come up with a sane reason to spend more than $4 million on a gigantic chrome bus packed with technology that was state of the art in 1953. A few people have, though. They get ultimate flossing points if they actually drove one of these things around town.

23. Aston Martin Bulldog GT

Years Of Production: 2013
Cost: Unknown
Famous Owners: Not yet sold
Complex Says: However much this mid-engined Aston Martin V12 Vantage ends up costing, it also comes with production rights to the car. That's ballin'.

22. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss Edition

Years Of Production: 2003-2010
Cost: $987,000
Famous Owners: Jay Leno, Scott Rothstein, Michael Jordan
Complex Says: Not only is the SLR McLaren Stirling Moss edition a damn near million-dollar car, but it was offered only to people who had already purchased a $500,000 "normal" SLR McLaren. You know you're rich when....

21. Any Figoni and Falaschi Delahaye

Years Of Production: 1936-1948
Cost: $Lots
Famous Owners: The Pasha of Marrakesh El Glaoui
Complex Says: Just about nobody has heard of Delahaye. But the over-the-top Art Deco styling of the Figoni and Falaschi models lets everybody know that they don't know what it is because they can't afford it.

20. Rolls-Royce Phantom II Convertible "Star of India"

Years Of Production: 1934
Cost: $13,000,000
Famous Owners: The Maharajah of Rajkot
Complex Says: It's an enormous Rolls with 14 headlights, because the serfs don't need to see.

19. Ferrari Enzo

Years Of Production: 2002-2004
Cost: $1,000,000
Famous Owners: Paul Allen, Nicolas Cage, Eric Clapton, Joe Cole, Tommy Hilfiger, Mika Hakkinen, Nick Mason, Pope John Paul II, Michael Schumacher, Rod Stewart, Axl Rose, 50 Cent
Complex Says: The Enzo is one of those cars that was not just freakishly expensive, but freakishly ostentatious, and of freakish amounts of infamy. It's known for its ability to send the extremely wealthy into trees and lamp-posts at high speeds almost as much as its performance and exclusivity.

18. Lamborghini Reventon

Years Of Production: 2009-2010
Cost: $1,600,000
Famous Owners: Jay Kay, Ramzan Kadyrov
Complex Says: The razor sharp edges of the Lamborghini line scream the words "exotic" and "expensive." This is a car that will make people stare. It's most definitely not subtle.

17. Rolls-Royce Phantom

Years Of Production: 2003-present
Cost: $380,000
Famous Owners: 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Ben Affleck, Christina Aguiera, David Beckham, Simon Cowell, Jay-Z, Shaq, Gene Simmons, Snoop Dogg, Donald Trump
Complex Says: When the words "rich" and "car" are put together, the image of a large Rolls-Royce sedan being driven by a man in a somewhat funny hat comes to mind. If you're rich, and you want everybody to know it, a Phantom isn't a bad choice.

16. Mercedes-Benz 710 Trossi Roadster

Years Of Production: 1930
Cost: $7,400,000
Famous Owners: Ralph Lauren
Complex Says: Black double-breasted suit, fedora, and wood-gripped Colt 1911 not optional.

15. Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder

Years Of Production: 1961
Cost: $10,894,000
Famous Owners: James Coburn, Ferris Bueller
Complex Says: This is the car from the movie, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Need we say more?

14. Pininfarina P4/5

Years Of Production: 2006
Cost: $4,000,000
Famous Owners: James Glickenhaus
Complex Says: Glickenhaus liked the Enzo. But the styling didn't look enough like the class P Series of Ferrari race cars from the '60s. So he paid Pininfarina around $3.4 million to make it prettier.

13. Maybach Exelero

Years Of Production: 2005
Cost: $8,000,000
Famous Owners: Birdman
Complex Says: People who know cars gawk when they see this car, because they know exactly what it is. People who don't know cars have the exact same reaction for the opposite reason--they have no idea what it is. If Darth Vader were to pick a car, the Exelero would certainly be it.

12. Rolls-Royce Phantom Torpedo Tourer

Years Of Production: 1925
Cost: $1,000,000
Famous Owners: Maharajah Umed Singh II
Complex Says: It has a friggin' machine gun for friggin' tiger hunting.

11. Dartz Prombron Monaco Red Diamond Edition

Years Of Production: 2010
Cost: $1,500,000
Famous Owners: Some tasteless Russians
Complex Says: It has gold-plated bullet-proof windows, 22-inch bullet-proof wheels, ruby- and gold-encrusted gauges, ruby and gold badges, a kevlar coating, three bottles of the world's most expensive vodka, and a whale penis leather interior. If you're freakishly wealthy and absolutely bat-shit-eats-flaming-cobras-to-gain-their-power nuts, this is the vehicle for you.

10. Aston Martin One-77

Years Of Production: 2009-present
Cost: $1,400,000
Famous Owners: One obnoxiously rich Middle-Eastern man bought 10
Complex Says: Flaunting one's wealth is all about paying out the ass for things nobody else has. The Aston Martin One-77 is an exercise in taking a base model of a $1.4 million exotic, then catering to every possible whim of the mega-rich. It's not exactly subtle.

9. Pagani Zonda Clinque Roadster

Years Of Production: 2010
Cost: $1,850,000
Famous Owners: An unidentified billionaire from Qatar
Complex Says: The Zonda Clinque Roadster exists because the incredibly expensive, extremely rare, and hyper-exotic Pagani Zonda wasn't exclusive enough for someone with a spare $1.85 million sitting around between the baby kangaroo-leather couch cushions. If you really want to look rich, you spend $1.35 million on a little tuning and a cool stripe.

8. Mercedes-Benz 540K Spezial Roadster

Years Of Production: 1936-1940
Cost: $8,200,000
Famous Owners: William Randolph Hearst, Bernie Ecclestone
Complex Says: After WWII, motoring changed. The designs of high-end cars shifted away from exuding the kind of elegance that the $540,000 Spezial Roadster does. Taking this as your ride of choice will not just prove that you have more than $8 million in disposable income. It will make you look like your name should be preceded by "Baron von."

7. Maybach 62S

Years Of Production: 2006-2011
Cost: $432,250
Famous Owners: Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Juan Carlos I of Spain
Complex Says: Not only does the sheer size of the Maybach 62S suggest the expense of a chauffeur, it depreciates at a shocking $500 per day. The $432,250 entry price might not be as insane as some of the other cars we've presented, but this thing shows that you have money to pee on, set on fire, and flush down the toilet.

6. Bugatti Royale

Years Of Production: 1928-1933
Cost: $8,675,000
Famous Owners: Charles Chayne, VW Auto Group, Briggs Cunningham, the Prince of Denmark
Complex Says: Ettore Bugatti was very selective regarding who was allowed to buy his limited-run masterpiece. So selective that the King of Albania was denied his request to purchase one on account of his table manners.

5. Duesenberg Model J

Years Of Production: 1928-1937
Cost: $1,000,000 to $4,400,000, depending on the engine
Famous Owners: Jay Leno, Al Capone, Gary Cooper, the Duke of Windsor, Prince Nicholas of Romania, Queen Mary of Yugoslavia, King Victor Emmanual III of Italy, King Alfonso XIII of Spain
Complex Says: There was once a time when the most technically advanced luxury car in the world was made in Indiana. Everyone from Al Capone to Old World royalty loved the car for its power, speed, luxury, and intimidating Gothic styling. If Herman Munster was the emperor of Transylvania, he'd drive one of these.

4. Ferrari 250 GTO

Years Of Production: 1962-1964
Cost: $18,845,000
Famous Owners: Nick Mason, Ralph Lauren, Frank Beard
Complex Says: At just over five and a half times the average lifetime earnings of an American with a doctorate, the Ferrari 250 GTO is the world record holder for highest public sale price of a car. The best way to flaunt your wealth is to risk your $18 million by actually driving it. That's what it was made for.

3. Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic

Years Of Production: 1938
Cost: Approximately $35,000,000
Famous Owners: Ralph Lauren
Complex Says: Only four of this most famous classic Bugatti were made, and only two have survived to the present day. Ralph Lauren has one of them in his collection, and the other was bought from the estate of Dr. Peter Williamson by an anonymous billionaire.

2. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

Years Of Production: 2010-2011
Cost: $2,400,000
Famous Owners: A Chinese billionaire known only as "Simon"
Complex Says: It's the world's fastest car, and the world's most expensive, as well. Being a Veyron, it's also legendary and immediately recognizable as the numero uno high-priced automobile. If you're rich and you want everyone to know while you stop for gas every 15 minutes, this is what you want. It might not be the most expensive car in the world, but it's the most obviously expensive to everybody else.

1. Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 

Years Of Production: 1907
Cost: Approximately $57,000,000
Famous Owners: VW Auto Group
Complex Says: It was made in 1907 to compete in the Scottish Reliability Trials and blew every other car out of the water. It also competed in several rallys and races of the day. Ironically, Rolls-Royce's chief competitor, VW Auto Group's Bentley, now owns this Silver Ghost and has it insured for north of $50 million. Owning this would be a way to flaunt not only your wealth, but also your power and influence, since it doesn't look like Bentley has any interest in giving up the legendary Rolls.
