Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster 722
It is not so much the car that is rare here, but the colour. Yes, this blood-orange colour was the original style and it even has a crazy matching interior to go with it. It’s also a pretty cool looking car, but that is not the point.
Mercedes-Benz G 63 6×6 AMG Brabus 700
You don’t often see a 6 wheeled Mercedes anywhere, but this one with its red interior is one of the rarest and designed to be a serious off-road vehicle while keeping the levels of luxury you will see in an SLR.
1972 Mercedes-Benz 600
Before anyone goes shouting “limo for one” this was not designed to be a limousine at all. It was called the “Grand Mercedes” and was more about superior legroom and luxury than limousine style build. But of course, that didn’t stop people from calling it one anyway.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren – Mansory Renovatio
When a car costs just over £1 million you should expect a bit of it to be made of real gold. Sadly it isn’t but its rare colour and stylish body design make it worth every single penny.
Mercedes-Benz F 015
this car might have started life as a concept, but quite a few of them have been made at the cost of over $3 each. It runs on hydrogen fuel and has a 268 horsepower engine. There is even talks to put this car into mass production in early 2025!

while it isn’t the most expensive price anyone has ever brought a Mercedes car for, it is the most costly to make with a cost of over $3 million per car thanks to its handmade body and interior components.
Mercedes-Benz CLK LM Straßenversion (AMG)
This isn’t a photoshop version of the real car and nor is it a concept car, this is a real car that was designed to have the brute design and build of a racing car, but yet still keep the front interior design for luxury travel.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 999
Not only is the design and colour of this vehicle make it one of the rarest Mercedes-Benz money can buy, but it also has a 24-k gold decorated interior! Plus it’s super-fast with unique decals that make it so wanted.
Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR
