At a price tag so high that it could be considered profane, the 57S is inadvertently the world's most expensive sport sedan. To anyone
interested, the difference between the 57S and the full-load 62S is pocket change. The asking price is $525,000: that's more than enough to either purchase or put the majority of a down payment on any red-blooded supercar, an automotive investment that's faster, quicker, and inevitably more desirable.
Instead, with that kind of money, most people would be interested in purchasing a well-furnished house in any large Canadian city. But the question I ask is, can a house hit 100 km/h in under five seconds? Didn't think so.
