Big Luxury, Big Speed, Big Dollars

Looking at expensive luxury cars at the 2016 Washington Auto Show

Anyone who covers the world of cars and trucks can't help but gaze at the creme de la creme on occasion and perchance to dream: the British automotive luxury embodied by Rolls Royce, as well as the high-toned speed machines of McLaren Automotive; the premier works of English-built Bentley Motorcars, now owned by Volkswagen AG; whip-fast German steel bearing the names Mercedes Benz, Maybach, Audi, and BMW; even a limited production LFA, which stands for Lexus Fuji Apex, of which only 500 were made. All of them made an appearance at the 2016 Washington Auto Show, and all of them sported rich price tags, too. (All photos by Sean Kilcarr/Fleet Owner)
