But it can be ordered.

If we at Autoblog about nieuwprijzen of a car to write, we normally have the kaalste versions. When actually purchasing a car is, in fact, not a single copy for the full price out the door. A car salesman with something shiny shoes know there namely always a couple of options to sell. But what are actually the exorbitantly expensive options in the car industry? Here are five examples.

1. iPod connection in an Audi R8

You pay almost two tonnes for a supercar, but when you tick that you like to have an iPod to connect to your R8 even 100 dollars more expensive. For a freakin’ cable. Yes, Audi and Apple, they resemble each other quite a found to have overpriced things. Fortunately, there are many Chinese alternatives.

2. The ashtray in a Shelby GT500

The times that your car was standard equipped with a comfortable large ashtray are over. In fact, if you now a place to get your axle to drop, you may extra go to pieces. Ford makes the Shelby GT500, however, very fur, and charge 60 dollars for a piece of plastic and a cheap 12V cigarette lighter socket.

3. Stripes on a Ferrari 458 Special

Not that we have anything against the 458 Special. On the contrary. But if you simply 8.954 euro charge for striping, on a car that already 283.269 euro costs, then we expect at least that Lapo Elkann the paint in person to come and spray and Marchionne your car with one of his sweaters polishes into it shines.

4. Drinks cabinet in the door of a Rolls-Royce Phantom

Rollers are in the base already so expensive, so expensive options are not more than logical. Anyway, drew this to our attention: a chic cabinet in which your champagne bottles and glasses chilled, can keep in the rear doors. Cost: $19.450.

5. A special layer of paint on the Porsche 918 Spyder

On top of the already hugely expensive 918 Spyder with Weissach-package you $64,000 a special Liquid Metal paint applied. Yes, more than 50.000 euro for a coating. Now should we say that they are thorough, with nine layers of paint, three coats of clear lacquer and a system in which a magnet, the metal particles proportional. The costs are mainly in the labor, not the paint (BASF Onyx HD POR 9S8). In this .pdf a guide for the application of the Liquid Metal paint.

Who additions in terms of more expensive options – because trust us, this is just the tip of the iceberg – should report it in the comments.
