- [Narrator] A poetic gearhead once said, "A car isn't just four wheels
and an engine, it's home." Well, my car's closer to a
cardboard box than a duplex, but the richest of the
rich can always rely on manufacturers like
Rolls Royce and Bentley to design the mansions of the car world. From cars that drive themselves, to vehicles dipped in gold, let's check out some of the fastest, most futuristic, and of course, incredibly expensive luxury
cars the world has to offer. Bentley Bentayga. When Walter Owen Bentley
started his car company in 1919, he set out to make a good car, a fast car, the best in its class. Bentley has always tried
to fulfill this dream, and over 100 years later, old Walter might have
just achieved his goal with the Bentley Bentayga. The Bentayga is a five door luxury SUV, and the Speed variant of this car is the fastest SUV in the world, reaching top speeds of 190 miles per hour. At $156,000, the Bentayga
comes with a number of extravagant features, from
a diamond encrusted clock on the dashboard, to air
conditioning that purifies the interior air, because regular
air just isn't good enough for the elite. When buying a Bentayga, you
can choose to fit the car with lamb's wool floor mats, giving you the opportunity
to wear your car like a giant slipper. It also features an events seat, a retractable leather bench
that pulls out of the trunk. You can gaze at the stars
with a bottle of champagne, or become the comfiest
people at the tailgate. If all that wasn't classy enough, one of the Bentley's optional features was designed by Viscount Linley, the Queen of England's actual nephew. Linley's Mulliner hamper
is a $32,000 picnic basket, secured in the back of the SUV. That's right, for just $32,000, you can either buy my
car three times over, or have a picnic. The hamper includes a Bentley
branded champagne cooler, cutlery draw, fine China
plates, crystal glasses, and a cashmere rug, to keep
the grass stains well away from your cashmere jumper. Just make sure you don't crash the car with the hamper installed. You don't want to get champagne all over your lamb's wool floor mats. Range Rover SV-Autobiography. Range Rover is one of
the most popular brands of luxury SUVs, owned by everyone from the classiest soccer moms, to the richest Saudi princes. Range Rover's most luxurious
car, the SV-Autobiography, is high tech and ultra smart. Its terrain response system
scans the environment, and automatically changes between five different driving modes, letting you drive on sand, snow, mud, rocks, and boring old asphalt. It's one of the few luxury cars that lets the driver tear it up off road, while the passengers sip
champagne and watch TV. Driving a $180,000 car through the mud might seem equivalent to hiking
in a pair of Balenciagas, but Range Rover clearly wants you to take the car on adventures. They offer a waterproof
wristband instead of a key, letting you tap your wrist
against the side of the door to lock and unlock it. No longer will you rummage
through your drawers, or dig through the sand at the beach, looking for your keys. All you need is a tap of the wrist. But don't worry, it isn't
all grit, mud, and puddles. It also has its own 4G wifi hotspot, HDMI ports, and loads of charging points. The back of the SV-Autobiography
is like a lounge on wheels, featuring fold out tables, a mini fridge, and comfortable seats with
built in massage rollers. Getting lost in the
wild never felt so good. Rolls Royce Cullinan. Rolls Royces are arguably the most luxurious cars in the world. Their double R logo and spirit
of ecstasy hood ornaments, a sign of wealth, class, and
high budget music videos. The Rolls Royce Cullinan
is their first SUV, marking the company's biggest car yet, which is apt, as it's named
after the Cullinan diamond, the largest rough diamond ever discovered. When discovered, the Cullinan diamond was worth $400 million, whereas the Rolls Royce
only costs 325,000. What a bargain. The Cullinan has most of
the features available in the aforementioned
Bentayga and Range Rover, featuring lamb's wool floor mats, and an optional picnic hamper. Inside the car is where the
Rolls Royce really stands apart. With its Offroad button, the Cullinan is more than capable of taking on deserts,
jungles, and mountains, and the car's onboard
camera constantly scans the road ahead, adjusting the suspension to make sure that you always feel like you're gliding down the highway. The car's rear is known
as the Palatial Suite, a massive space that's trimmed
with the finest leathers and cuts of wood. It also features a partition glass between you and the trunk, following the mantra that
a Rolls Royce's owner should never sit with
their luggage or their dog. I don't know about you, but I always let my dog
sit in the front seat, whether I'm in a Rolls Royce or a Toyota. Lagonda Taraf. Lagonda is a company
owned by Aston Martin, and manufacture their most luxurious cars, like the 2015 Lagonda Taraf, an extremely rare car with only 120 built. Each one was priced at
one million dollars, making it the world's most
expensive luxury sedan. According to Aston Martin, Taraf translates to
ultimate luxury in Arabic, and the name fits the
sleek golden car perfectly. While the owners of a Taraf probably place their private chauffeurs behind the wheel, whoever drives will discover a top speed of 195 miles per hour, getting from zero to
60 in just 4.4 seconds. The Taraf could hold
its own on a racetrack, but it's still designed for comfort, especially in the back seats. It's body is 18 feet long, resulting in huge amounts of leg room, and the interior is filled
with an expensive leather, wrapping the owner in
a cream colored cocoon. But if you don't like
the Taraf, it's fine. You can just buy three
Rolls Royce Cullinans for about the same price. Mercedes Maybach S class. Mercedes-Benz might be one of the world's most famous
luxury car manufacturers. The only brand with both
a Formula One racing team, and a hit song by Janice Joplin. Maybach produce Mercedes
most luxurious cars. The company aiming to redefine what luxury means in our time. For me, there's nothing more luxurious than a trip to the spa, and the $186,000 Mercedes Maybach S class is the first car that
brings that experience to your back seats. Its spa packages include
the Warmth package, causing all of the seats
and surfaces in the car to give off a warm heat, as orange and red lighting
moves around the interior. The massage chairs are filled
with small rubber balls that inflate and deflate
through an air pump, massaging your back. With the Warmth package, these balls move up and down softly, following the timing of your breathing. I'm getting sleepy just thinking about it. So, maybe this isn't the best thing to use while you're driving. Your spa experience might
rapidly become pretty unrelaxing if you fall asleep at the wheel. An even sleepier sounding spa
package incorporates sounds from a singing bowl, an instrument used by Buddhist monks while they meditate. Owners can combine any of these features with the Mercedes Air Balance package, an automatic perfume dispenser
that sprays a custom scent into the car through the air vents, making sure your nose doesn't
miss out on all the luxury. The fragrance that comes with the car will last you a few months, but you might want to use it sparingly. A refill will cost you $110
at a Mercedes dealership, and what's wrong with a good
old fashioned air freshener? If all that isn't enough,
the car is also intelligent. The Maybach S class features MBUX, a built in AI assistant,
like Amazon's Alexa. As you speak to MBUX, it'll get to know you and
your preferences over time, learning your favorite
climate control settings, or frequently driven routes. The S class isn't just a car,
it's your new best friend. BMW Nautor's Swan. In my experience, the uber
rich love three things, owning luxury cars, flying
to space, and yachts, and that's why the team at
BMW decided to collaborate with luxury sale yacht
manufacturer, Nautor's Swan, offering a one of a kind car that offers drivers all of the luxuries of a sailing yacht, without
having to get their feet wet. Unfortunately this priceless
BMW can't drive underwater, but there's plenty of
yacht-like features in the car, making it feel like
you're sitting on a deck in the middle of the Pacific, instead of sitting in traffic
on the middle of the highway. The interior is made out
of expensive teak wood, with large, comfortable seats, and being a unique
version of a BMW 7 Series. Even the non-yacht-themed
versions of the car have some incredible features. New models of the 7 Series allow drivers to channel their inner Luke Skywalker, by waving their hand above the gear stick to turn up the volume, or
flick through contacts. The car also features
a remote control key, turning your $100,000 ride
into a two ton RC car, allowing you to drive backwards and forwards in a straight line, letting you move in and
out of tight parking spaces without having to actually get in the car. BMW clearly has big
plans for the future too. In 2018, they signed a patent for a bottom filling champagne glass, allowing the passenger to drink champagne without the inconvenience of pouring it. These BMWs will be the first cars with a built in champagne tank, and giving that technology
to the ultra rich sounds like a DUI waiting to happen. Tesla Model X. Teslas are known for
their electric motors, high tech gadgets, and
getting launched into space, and the Tesla Model X is their most luxurious vehicle to date. Like all new Teslas, the
car can drive itself, using highly sophisticated
adaptive sensor systems and AI, allowing the driver to take
their hands off the wheel, and kick back while the
car chauffeurs them around. The driver can get their
Tesla to parallel park with the tap of a button, or even summon their car
before they get in it, making it drive around and pick them up. The 2022 Model X comes in at $106,000, and it rejects the norm in every way, with falcon wing doors that open upwards, and a steering wheel that,
well, isn't a wheel at all. The 2022 version of the
car features a yoke. No, not that kind of yolk. A rectangular yoke used for steering, like the controls of an airplane, making you feel like
you're driving a spaceship. If that isn't enough, you
can use the steering wheel to fly an actual
spaceship on Tesla Arcade, a gaming system built into Tesla's 17 inch
touch screen dashboard. It features old school
games like "Solitaire" and "Skyforce Reloaded," but
it's also powerful enough to run triple A games,
like "The Witcher 3," and "Cyberpunk 2077." This was my childhood dream, but maybe it's a better idea to just keep an eye on the road. Lexani G-77 Sky Master. If you like the idea of improving upon established good
things, Lexani are the kings. Taking a Ford F-550 pickup truck, and converting it into
the one million dollar, Lexani G-77 Sky Master. The Sky Master aims to bring the ambience of luxury aerospace travel to the road, providing a private jet on four wheels. Perfect for the multimillionaire
who's scared of heights. The car is essentially an
upmarket van on the outside, but it isn't filled with
ladders or buckets of paint. The main room features
six Italian leather seats, a 65 inch Samsung TV, a kitchenette with a coffee machine, and an office space
with a retractable desk. For longer journeys,
there's a restroom on board with a sink that's
coated in 24 karat gold. The van features a boardroom in the back, holding four chairs, two flat screen TVs, and a retractable table. The seats fold down into a double bed, because are you really that fancy if you've never fallen
asleep on Italian leather? You'll sleep softly too, as the Sky Master comes with
an upgraded suspension system that absorbs any bumps in the road. If you close your eyes, it'll
really feel like you're flying without the risk of turbulence. Karlmann King SUV. Lexani aren't the only company that's given the Ford F-550 a makeover, but unlike the dazzling Sky Master, the Karlmann King SUV is a Ford going through its goth phase. The angular SUV is massive, futuristic, and officially the most
expensive SUV in the world, starting out at around
1.9 million dollars. The Karlmann has all the treats that every super villain needs, containing reclining
seats, a PlayStation 4, a coffee maker, and a massive TV. The optional features
include alligator skin seats, real gold trimmings,
or bulletproof plating. Apparently most of their customers opt for the bulletproof option, which makes me wonder what kind of people are buying these cars? Unfortunately the Karlmann King's so heavy that it can only get up
to 87 miles per hour, but who needs speed when your
car is this intimidating? Rolls Royce Phantom. Don't you just love star gazing? Sitting on a hill, staring at the sky, thinking about the universe? You know who doesn't
have time to star gaze? Billionaires. That's why the rolls
Royce Phantom displays 1,526 fiber optic stars on the ceiling above the passenger's heads. Rolls Royce gives the owner the option to customize the stars, to
depict any constellation. And if you look closely, you'll notice shooting stars firing across the car's interior. As you can expect, the
Phantom's optional features are absolutely insane, from
anti-paparazzi curtains, and secret umbrella compartments, to night vision cameras, and a humidity controlled cigar holder. There's nothing classier than fine art, and one of Rolls Royce's
features turns the Phantom into a literal art gallery, displaying work from
critically acclaimed artists on the dashboard. This clip shows the
different options available, offering art made out of diamonds, 24 karat gold, or feathers. I think I'd stick with the gold. Like everything, Rolls
Royce takes this a bit far. For the Immortal Beauty dashboard option, they grew an individual rose
in the English countryside, flew it to Nymphenburg Palace in Germany, then recreated the flower in porcelain. You can display some of these
porcelain copies in your car, taking a piece of England
with you wherever you go. Personally though, I keep England with me by loading my car with
teabags and crumpets. Gold Rolls Royce. The Sultan of Brunei
is a pretty flashy guy. He holds the largest private
car collection in the world, owning around 7,000 cars, with a combined value of
over five billion dollars. He has over 600 Rolls Royces, but one stands out above the rest. When the Sultan of
Brunei's son got married, the Sultan had parts of their
Rolls Royce limousine plated with 24 karat gold. The car was adorned with
lavish gold ornaments, and an outdoor seating area, showing the newlyweds off to the public. Along with a fresh lick of gold paint, this brought the car's value
up to 14 million dollars. Nice and subtle, Mr. Sultan. Custom Class. The Sultan of Brunei isn't the only person who decided to pimp their
already decadent ride. A company called Garson specializes in taking mass produced
vehicles, and glamming them up. In 2018, they unveiled a
special Mercedes-Benz SL600 at the Tokyo Auto Show. The Merc was bedazzled with
over 300,000 Swarovski crystals, its dashboard, gear shifter, and wheels all getting the same treatment. Garson's Mercedes is pretty astounding, but I'm not sure I'd like to
drive behind it on a sunny day. Lots of other luxury car companies stick solely to interiors, aiming to make preexisting
cars more luxurious inside for passengers. The custom Mercedes Viano
by Carisma, for example, takes a pretty nice people carrier, perfect for a taxi company,
or a family of five, and turns it into a mobile cinema, with a huge flat screen TV, two reclining seats, a wool
carpet, and a drinks bar. Every car that Carisma
works on is totally unique, so there's no strict price for the Viano. They'll tailor make the van to their customer's exact specifications, and work out how much
it's worth at the end. I'm wondering how far you could push this. A van with a bowling alley,
an arcade, a hot tub? Oh, I was kidding. Turns out two friends
already built one in 2015, hoping to set the record for
the world's fastest hot tub. I wonder if it's allowed to
drive in the car pool lane. (narrator coughs) Arguably the sleekest
custom car interior jobs are carried out by
Russian company, Top Car, specifically with their work
on the Porsche Panamera. Already a high end sports car, Top Car fit their Porsche
with white crocodile leather, a Birchwood trim, and real gold accents. These custom cars don't
come cheap, though. The Top Car Panamera priced at $567,850. In comparison, the hot tub car sold for just $26,500 in 2018. I know which one I'd rather have, but let me know your choice
down in the Comments. Maybach 6 Cabriolet. Next up we're gonna take a
look at some concept cars, exploring what car companies
think their vehicles will look like over the next 100 years. According to Mercedes,
the Maybach 6 Cabriolet was designed to be timeless. A concept car that would've been seen as beautiful 100 years ago, and will still be seen as
beautiful in 100 years. It's a six meter long convertible, most of the length taken
up by its massive hood. The car is easily big
enough to fit six people, but it only holds two, taking up the room with futuristic digital
displays, and bright blue lights. Pretty, right? Only two of the Cabriolets
have ever been made, and while the car isn't
currently available to buy, it's already been used in music videos, and it's set to be used
as Bruce Wayne's car in the upcoming DC movie, "The Flash." That's right, it's a real life Batmobile. Renault Trezor. Renault's conceptual take on the sports car of tomorrow
might seem pretty ordinary, until you see somebody try and get in it. The Renault Trezor doesn't
reinvent the wheel, but it does reinvent the door. The Trezor is a one
door car for two people, the entire top half of the car lifting up when the owners want to get inside. I call it the clam of the highway. If the Trezor's a clam,
then where are the pearls? Well, its door might seem like a gimmick, but the few Trezors that
Renault actually made were incredibly quick. They had a drag coefficient of 0.22, or in plain English, they
were incredibly streamlined, due to their lack of doors. Like you'd expect, the futuristic
car is completely filled with touch screens and computers, and it also features little
Eiffel Towers on the hubcaps, making the Trezor one of
the fastest, sleekest, and Frenchest concept cars around. The Mercedes AVTR. If you think a collaboration
between Mercedes-Benz, and the James Cameron movie
"Avatar" sounds insane, then you'd be correct. Regardless, the Mercedes
AVTR is the end result of this strange mashup. A concept car ripped straight
out of a sci-fi film, the car is steered with
a single flat joystick, instead of a steering wheel, allowing you to tear
through Pandora's highways with the flick of the wrist. Remember when I said the Renault Trezor doesn't reinvent the wheel? Well, the AVTR does, carrying you around on four blue light filled donuts. This unusual shape means
that the wheels can rotate, allowing the AVTR to drive
sideways, or even diagonally. Another totally unique
feature are the 33 scales that run along the back of the car. Mercedes calls these scales bionic flaps, and they allow the driver to send signals to the outside world. When the car speeds up, the
flaps become more streamlined, and when you brake, they flip up, letting other drivers know
exactly what you're doing. An updated version of the car showcased at the 2021 Munich Auto Show,
can read your mind for real. Once you stick some
electrodes on your head, and plug yourself in, the
AVTR uses something called a brain computer interface,
to record your brain activity, allowing the driver to trigger
some functions of the vehicle without moving a muscle. This new matrix style way
of driving might just be the future of travel, but
just try not to sneeze, or you might set the
wind screen wipers off. BMW Vision Next 100. If a car based on an alien
planet isn't good enough for you, how about a car that looks
like an actual spacecraft? For BMW's 100 year anniversary, they started to use the
motto, "The Next 100 Years," exploring what BMW cars
could look like in 3016. Apparently that car is a
self-driving four door sedan, completely covered in lizard like scales, with wheels enclosed
in a protective casing. The interior and exterior
of the Vision Next 100 is covered in metal triangles, that move as the car
turns and accelerates, making the car appear
as if it's breathing. I can't tell if this is the
coolest thing I've ever seen, or the creepiest. The scales on the outside of
the car are just for show, but the interior triangles flash red whenever there's an
obstacle or hazard coming up in the road ahead, making
sure that the driver is prepared for anything. The car is self-driving, but if the drivers of tomorrow
want to get behind the wheel, like grandma used to, it features a steering yoke
that automatically folds out of the dashboard. Once they get driving,
the wind screen acts as a heads up display, telling the driver when to brake and speed up, and showing them where they
should drive on the road for maximum speed. The car also constantly scans the road, locking onto cyclists with a big red box. Unfortunately, I mean, thankfully, the car doesn't fire
rockets at the cyclists. It simply warns the driver
of a potential hazard. The scales inside the car also spinning around and flashing red. If these hazards disappear
behind a wall or parked car, the BMW tracks them,
making sure the cyclist or pedestrian doesn't suddenly
spring out in front of you. Of course we're a while away from this heads up display
technology being real yet, but with Tesla already blending the world of video games and driving, we may not be all that far off. Bentley AI Concept. According to Bentley, none of
the concepts we've seen so far are luxurious enough. To them, being that their brand name, and the decadent custom cars they produce, are almost synonymous with luxury, the effort of having to look
at the road is too straining for their elite customers, and it'll soon be a thing of the past. Bentley's concept car for the future is completely open plan, featuring four seats gathered around a futuristic coffee table, with no steering column in sight. The star of the show is of course, the little blue AI hologram
butler in the middle, who you'll be able to look in the eye as you ask them to shuffle your retro mix of Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran. Move along, MBUX, I've
got a new best friend. Every car company seemingly has their own futuristic concept ideas, and new concept car designs appear on social media every day. The future looks bright and comfy. From mobile lounges
stuffed inside limousines, to self-driving cars
overflowing with gadgets and pod-like seats, who knows what the elite will
be driving in 10 years time. I know one thing for sure, I definitely won't be able to afford one. Which of these luxury cars would you buy if you had the money? Let me know down in the Comments below, and thanks for watching. (upbeat music)
