Limousines can be very pricey investments. They will typically range anywhere from 100,000 to 300,000. However, some people do not feel that the everyday limo is enough to satisfy their needs. Some would prefer something ever more luxurious and are willing to spend a much bigger wad of cash in order to obtain it.

In 2013, the limousine company Cars for Stars designed the concept for a Lamborghini Aventador stretch limo. The limo would be fitted with Lamborghinis 6.5 liter V12 engine which pushes up to 700 horsepower. Aside from the looks and power of a Lamborghini, the interior would be custom fitted with everything you would expect from a high-end limo. The rear is designed to fit up to seven people, features an L-shaped couch and has plasma TVs, Ipod hookups, and even a champagne bar. It isnt a reality yet, and the inevitably steep price tag attached to such a creation might ensure that it never does become one, but I felt it belonged on this list out of pure awesomeness. -

The Mercedes-Benz S-600 Pullman has already been shown at various car shows throughout the world. It is scheduled to be officially released to consumers in 2015. It was designed as the replacement to the Maybach 62. Maybach was a company owned by Mercedes-Benz that specialized in high luxury limousines. The Maybach line was pulled because it was unable to compete with Rolls Royce and Bentley. The S-600 Pullman is a 21-foot limo with amour plating capable of resisting gunfire and small explosives. Its price is set at a cool 1 million. -

The most expensive Mini Cooper in the world is pink. The Million Euro Mini is owned by Princess Regina Abdurazakova of Kazakhstan. It is fitted with a 47 inch TV screen, 70 TFT monitors, 30 parking sensors, and 20 parking cameras. The body is covered in over one million tiny Swarovski crystals. Each wheel has an eight centimeter crystal in the middle. The window films are made up of about 50 grams of pure gold. The Mini cost about one million Euros or 1.35 million US. -

Maybach was Mercedes-Benzs luxury limousine production company until it was ended in 2013. Though their limos were considered more luxurious than Bentleys or Rolls Royces, their high price tags and lack of name recognition caused them to be unable to sell as many models as their competitors. The Landaulet was based on the style of limousines that made Maybach one of the most popular luxury car brands in the 1920s. It used a 62S 612 horsepower bi-turbo V12 engine. The car was famous for its retractable hard roof that allowed for its passengers to soak in the sun if desired. It was fitted with white leather with gold-flecked granite inlays and although not a stretch limousine, it still cost about 1.4 million. -

The Midnight Rider was designed in 1986 and is the worlds largest for-hire limousine, and its anything but traditional. The limo is constructed out of a tractor trailer body and can hold up to 40 passengers. It features three separate lounge areas all equipped with 1,800 watt speaker systems. The trailer includes an on-board night club complete with DJ and a full size bar with bartenders. The Midnight Rider is worth an estimated 2.5 million and it holds the world record for being the worlds heaviest limousine. -

The Beast may very well be the worlds classiest tank. It was commissioned in 2009 to carry the President of the United States. There are actually twelve of these Cadillac limos and three travel in processions at all times. The one carrying the president is known as Cadillac One. Typically, one of these Cadillac limos would cost about 300,000, but the government has poured in over 3 million into this vehicle to ensure the presidents safety. The Beast is fitted with enough armor to withstand an RPG attack. Since The Beast is classified as a matter of national security it is unknown to the public what the exact capabilities of the car are. It is known that it has firefighting equipment, oxygen tanks and masks, tear gas, and shotguns. However, it is highly rumored that it also has built in grenade launchers. -

It is probably surprising to see this above the limousine used to drive around the president of one of the worlds most powerful countries, but a version of this limo popped up in China worth around 3.8 million USD. The stock Rolls Royce Phantom is one of the priciest cars in the world to begin with, but this Phantom Limo is fitted with bulletproof armor and a full sized office along with all the luxury features of a Rolls Royce. It has a 6.8 liter V12 engine capable of pushing out 432 horsepower. -

The Batmobile Limousine is the perfect ride for the nerdy kid who grew up to make billions of dollars. It is designed completely after the Tim Burton Batman movie series that lasted from 1989 to 1992. It was built in 2012 and features all the gadgets Batman used in the movies. This includes rocket and missile launchers and the ejecting front and rear wheels. The car itself is fitted with a V8 Corvette jet engine. It cost 4.2 million to recreate the cinema icon and stretch it into a limo. -
