Ten Most Expensive Cars Ever Insured

One could say that car insurance usually doesn't cost too much and can be affordable to the majority of consumers. Nevertheless if you are an owner of a luxury or a sports car, you definitely know how much it costs to insure it. The thing is that there is not always that distinct interdependence of the car insurance fees and the actual value of the car. Sometimes a cheaper car can qualify for a higher insurance rate than a more expensive brand new vehicle. But almost all the cars that cost more than 100,000 get a very high insurance rate. These is the type of cars we are going to speak about. It's rather common that the owners of some very expensive models don't insure their cars if they are considered to be rarity or belong to some private collections. Nevertheless some of them don't only find money to buy such a car. They actually can afford to insure it. Anyways, here is a list of ten most expensive cars ever insured in human history. 1. Rolls Royce "Silver Ghost". 50 million and was recognized as the most expensive car in the world even though it is no longer in production. 3. Bugatti Type 41 Royale. 4. Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR. 1.7 million. Nevertheless the insurance rates were very high because of the exclusiveness of this model and its high repair costs. 1 million but its high speeding abilities (more than 230 mph) still make the insurance rates jump up too. 10. Porsche carrera GT. Most of these cars have a four-wheel drive and are diesel-driven which makes the repairs more complicated. But mainly the high insurance rates are conditional on the high price and the uniqueness of the cars themselves because many of them are very valuable due to their limited edition.

And like the Range Rover, the Bentayga will get a further boost in refinement when a plug-in hybrid version is introduced. This will offer around 30 miles of all electric range, as is the norm with most other plug-in hybrid models. Electric drive has given car makers a new weapon in their battle to make cars as quiet as possible, and Tesla is a pioneer of electric drive. Sure, there's plenty of road noise from the tyres at motorway speeds, especially cars fitted with 19 or 20-inch wheels, but this is offset by the virtual silence you experience when driving around town. That slippery shape means there's not a lot of wind noise, either, while driver and passenger can revel in the quietness of all-electric drive for longer in the Tesla than in any other electric car on sale. Jaguar's first all-electric car has been a sales smash, with demand far outstripping supply.

And as is befitting of a premium electric SUV, it's a quiet place to spend time. Unlike with Tesla, there's just one electric drive system on offer, but it delivers the same amount of comfort and refinement and is arguably even more relaxing at higher speeds. Jag has paid real attention as to how the I-Pace rides and handles. The fringe benefit of this is that while the I-Pace is quiet, it's also relaxing, with a smooth ride leaving passengers unruffled, even on the car's biggest wheel options. And with the latest suite of electrical assistance systems on offer, the Jaguar is highly relaxing to drive as well. There's nothing like a full-size limo to offer the ultimate in quiet and comfortable luxury, and the Audi A8 is one of the best in the business. Often overlooked when compared to the all-conquering Mercedes S-Class, the A8 still delivers the kind of comfort and quietness that captains of industry demand. One addition to the A8 is a 48-volt mild hybrid system. This allows you to come to a halt and pull away again in silence, as the electric system 'fills in' before the engine engages, and boosts low-speed refinement.

As with the best limos, there are standard and long-wheelbase models, while Audi also offers a sporty S line version. This comes with bigger wheels, so isn't quite as comfortable as the standard model, and there's likely to be more road noise, too. Still, German limos are designed to storm along the autobahn, usually up to a regulated maximum of 155mph, and you can guarantee that the A8 has been created to deliver a hushed cabin experience even at three-figure speeds. UK's motorway network at 70mph will be a breeze for this Teutonic express. Here's proof that electric drive boosts refinement even in the most humble of models. You'll get around 150 miles out of a full charge, which should be decent for a week of short trips, and the e-Golf's quiet and refined nature will take the strain out of every one. While the 7 Series has a sporty edge, it's still a refined luxury cruiser.
