The 8 Most Ridiculously Expensive Cars At The Geneva Motor Show

Gone are the days when a regular old Ferrari turned heads. Nowadays you need some kind of crazy fancy new Ferrari to get the neighbours to hate you. The coolest new cars were all on display at the Geneva Motor Show, featuring cars that can go from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds, which is exactly what you're looking for in your next ride, right? Forget gas mileage and trunk space, one of these cars has a driver's seat modelled after a jet engine's cockpit!

The ride that's gotten the most attention, the Lamborghini Veneno [top image], costs a sickening $3.9 million. Many of the other cars do not even have prices yet, but, as we know: if you have to ask how much something without a price tag costs, you can't afford it. Fortunately you won't have to figure out how to fit your family of four into one of these tiny gorgeous cars, because there's no way you can buy them. Lucky you!
