Money no object, which are the vehicles everyone’s going to wish they owned?
1 Ferrari 458 Italia
A Ferrari, any Ferrari, is worth an arm and a leg; when it’s as gorgeous as the 458 Italia, you can throw in the other arm and leg. Not only does the Italia mark a return to form for the stylists at Pinninfarina, it is also dripping with exotic tech: Aerodynamics inspired by the Prancing Horse’s Formula 1 racing cars, a 4.5-litre V8 engine that develops a scarcely imaginable 562 horsepower at a shrieking 9000rpm, a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox, even sharper handling, trick differentials, the works. Buy one in red with the tan Daytona leather interiors and watch your personal net worth treble.
Price: Rs. 1.2 crore
