The prices of the world’s top sports cars such as Bentley, Ferrari, and Maserati are astronomical in the eyes of us ordinary people. Every time the professor reports on these high-end models, everyone will leave a frustrated message: It’s too expensive, you can’t mess with it. You can't afford it, you can't afford it, you can't afford it.

So the professor in this article will talk to you about some peripheral products of ultra-luxury brands. Please don’t be depressed, because ultra-luxury cars are no longer affordable, and you may not even be able to afford peripheral products~~~So Just treat it as an entertainment anecdote~

The starting price is 7.8 million? I believe everyone can’t afford the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, so why not buy a car model to get addicted? You may not even be able to afford a car model. Rolls-Royce has released a Cullinan car model with a ratio of 1:8. Normally, thousands of car models are already top-notch, but this Cullinan from Rolls-Royce The starting price of the car model is US$17,100, and the price of customized models is close to US$30,000.

This Cullinan car model is entirely handmade, aiming to restore the real car to the greatest extent. It uses more than 10,000 parts and the manufacturing process takes up to 450 hours. Due to the long time required to build it by hand, it is custom-made. It takes a certain period, so theoretically if it can be purchased, there may be some room for appreciation.

Customers can also customize the body color and parts according to their own requirements. The materials, trim panels, buttons, central control, seats, etc. inside the cabin are basically the same things found on real cars. The car models can be restored to the maximum extent. Such car models can be said to be the king of car models. No wonder they are sold so expensively.

After looking at the car models, let’s read a book. A German publishing house has cooperated with Ferrari to launch a set of "Bible" "Il Fascino Ferrari" with a limited edition of 250 sets. The price is US$30,000. If you buy it, It is estimated that the price can also increase.

This book records all the classic models and events launched by Ferrari over the past 70 years, as well as some precious information that has not been made public. Each book also contains the second words of FCA Group Chairman John Elkann and Enzo Ferrari. The signatures of his son Piero Ferrari and former FCA Group CEO Sergio Marchionne give this book a higher collection value.

The red cover is inlaid with the Ferrari LOGO. The limited edition of 250 sets uses a storage box like a Ferrari engine, made of aluminum alloy, and equipped with a base like an exhaust pipe, giving it a more like-like appearance. It's an engine rather than a bookshelf, and it's also like a work of art.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford 30,000 US dollars. There is also a regular version priced at 6,000 US dollars, but it costs tens of thousands of yuan in RMB. Compared with the 30,000 US dollars version, it is only one row less. The base like a gas pipe is difficult to buy even at this price, and the quantity is not large. There are only 1947 sets (the year Ferrari was born), but they must have been sold out.

After talking about the peripherals, let’s talk about some optional configurations. As the leader of luxury brands, the S-class has luxurious enough configuration options, such as the sound system, which is available on the S?350L? There is a 13-speaker Sound of Berlin, but that is the "Sound of Little Berlin". If you think it is not enough, you can choose a set of 26-speaker "Sound of Big Berlin" for an additional 76,000 yuan.

(There are speakers at the A-pillars and rearview mirrors)

The speakers of the Great Berlin Sound are located around the car body. There are speakers at the front and rear of each door panel, roof, and one The super bass and DSP amplifier, with a total power of more than 1500W, can be said to be the Rolls-Royce of audio.

In the latest S-Class released by Mercedes-Benz a few days ago, the high-end 4D surround system is equipped with 31 speakers and 8 harmonic exciters to improve sound quality and penetration, with a power of 1700W. The sound effect is definitely improved compared to the current model, and the price should be more expensive.

Maserati’s first SUV Levante, and Trofeo is its top-performance version, equipped with a 3.8T V8 engine with a maximum horsepower of 590Ps (2021 model 580Ps), and only 4.1 to accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers. In seconds, the price of the 2019 model of this car is as high as 1.9098 million, which is nearly 1 million more expensive than the entry version.

There is no doubt that the most expensive thing about this car is its engine. This 3.8T? V8 engine was developed in cooperation with Ferrari. It is produced at the Ferrari factory in Maranello and uses dual Turbocharging, according to official engineers, the cost of a single turbine of this engine is close to that of a BMW 3 Series.

Normally, the cost of modifying the turbine from self-priming in the later stage is tens of thousands of yuan. This turbine adopts a special contour design, and each turbine has a separate intercooler. You can imagine the power of Trofeo’s power system. It's powerful, so just pray that it doesn't have any problems~ But for top consumers of this type of car, it shouldn't be a problem.

When it comes to option prices, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Maserati are not the top ones. The level of luxury of Bentley, the top British luxury brand, is unimaginable. The interior of a Bentayga requires 230 craftsmen and takes more than ten years. It takes a genius to complete it, with veneer panels available in 10 materials and more than 10 interior colors.

The seams in Bentley's interior are amazing. It takes several days to process the interior stitching. If you want, you can even choose a set of customized meal baskets, priced at 21,000 pounds.

If you are the top customer on the planet and pursue ultimate luxury, Bentley can provide an optional Breitling Mulliner Tourbillon watch with 8 diamonds and automatic winding function for an optional price of 150,000 euros. Although the starting price of the Bentayga is 170,000 euros, there are not many consumers who wear watches worth hundreds of thousands of euros.

After reading these books, turbines, car models and watches that are more expensive than real cars, I can only say that the world of rich people is unimaginable. Although many of them cannot afford it, don’t be depressed. But this is also the goal we strive for. We still have to have dreams as a human being. What if we realize it?
