but it can go 185 miles per hour. Crazy. But that V10 engine is what sold the car. You can buy any old sedan for a fraction of the price of one of these things, but they won't keep up with a Ferrari, and even though most people know they'll never come close to topping out their car, they do like to know that it's possible. And they like their friends and everyone they drive past to know it's possible too.
I disagree. If you want to show off, you can buy a much flashier car for $100,000. You buy this car because you like performance without advertising it.

Really?

Audi RS6:

580 HP bi-turbo V10, and lots of room for groceries in the back.



Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG:

Bi-Turbo V12, 604HP.
