Carbon fiber finish on the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport -
$300,000
Somewhat recently, carbon fiber has gained popularity as an option on car parts/bodies for a good reason. The weave is nice to look at and the actual material is incredibly strong and lightweight, so it definitely serves a good purpose on a high powered sports car. Dismissing the fact the option itself costs more than some homes (this is a 2.5 million
dollar car, after all), you can’t help but ignore the fact that the Bugatti
Veyron Super Sport’s body is already made out of carbon fiber. You are
essentially being charged a $300,000 premium to leave paint off of your car. Does this make sense at all? Didn't think so.
Porsche Panamera Leather Door Sills: $2,900
I can't think up a valid reason why one would want leather door sills versus aluminum. Not only will the leather corrode and wear away fast from being
stepped on so much, but it will discolor eventually. Also, you won’t even be
able to see or appreciate your $2,900 door sills seeing as the doors on your
car remain closed 99.9% of the time save for the few seconds you open and close
the door.
Rolls Royce Phantom Gold Plated Spirit of Ecstasy: $8,650
In case driving a Rolls Royce Phantom did not differentiate
you from the rest of the world enough, you can now spend over $8,000 to rub it
in people’s faces that you are rich by having your hood ornament gold plated. The
hood ornament goes away when the car is parked, so unfortunately you cannot
show it off nearly as much as you want. While a Rolls Royce owner can afford
the expensive option, it should be noted on principle that the ornament is only
gold plated, a process which shouldn’t run over 1 or 2 hundred dollars.
