Top 7 SMALL Cars with BIG PRICE

big car big price small car small price not always hey guys Skype here with a list of the most expensive small cars ever made let's go Aston Martin Cigna it's probably the first thing that pops into anyone's mind when I say small expensive car it's essentially a Toyota iQ with some Aston Martin batteries design details and a lot of hand-stitched leather and how much for all of this oh does the ordinary Toyota Ashton defended this price hike by saying that it takes over 150 hours put the little Signet together the paint is as high quality as you get on the 177 hyper GT and the same is true for the leather interior just for example so you understand if an insect bit the cow that part of the leather can't be used anymore but what about the buyers for the Signet that they bite too not at all well it's a lot for me during the three year long production only 145 people bought one which is a massive fail when you learned that they were hoping to sell four thousand per year honestly this surprised me a little bit small car is almost a necessity in most European cities why else would anyone buy a smart car and if you're super rich why not buy a posh rival too you're gonna tell me that rich people suddenly care about prices when did that happen PS there was also this crazy V8 prototype and if you want one for yourself Aston is willing to build you another oh for half a million dollars needless to say there were no takers Audi A1 Quattro but the Signet wasn't the only premium super mini out there Ali 2 gave it a try with their A1 not quite as exclusive so expectedly not as expensive either but it still comes with a premium price tag compared to its mechanical twin from skoda it's clear just how much you're paying for the four rings badge the boss of Audi probably explained it best this is not a cheap Audi it's just a small one naturally the sporty S1 version will cost you some more dough but if you wanted a top dog you had to cash out almost double that this my friends is a very limited very forgotten A1 Quattro which shares almost nothing without skoda or even a regular A1 for that matter there are some 600 new parts that make this Pocket Rocket oh so special both the 250 horsepower engine as well as most of the suspension came from the TTS or should I say the brakes are larger and so are the fully functional intakes and vents too the titular Quattro all-wheel drive system comes from the world's rally and the same goes for this sweet looking set of turbine wheels and a sizeable wing too essentially it's like a super expensive gr Yaris long before the gr Yaris was even a thing and while everyone is raving about the Toyota be honest with me now how many of you have ever even seen or heard of the A1 Quattro for shame or shame VW Golf r33 yet another very limited very expensive small car is this not green not yellow either fast golf okay it may not be as small as the other cars on this list but that's just what happens to all cars over time they grow in size as well as power and so what started as a petite hot hatch in the 80s is now extremely capable all-wheel drive Uber hatchback with over 300 horses the price 45 Grand jeez but that's just the normal one the not green not yellow R333 is um I don't know how to lube this up for you so here goes 81 0.81 are you kidding me you can buy a Corvette for that kind of money so what do you get for this amount all the optional extras come as standard now the engine makes 12 more horses tires have fewer grooves and the exhaust tips have these little titanium sleeves that is all and that's just stupid if for some reason you really must have an Uber hatch you'll be better off with any of these two more power more speed more badge and yet Less Price you have to be certifiably crazy to buy the golf and that's the worst part of the story the entire production of 333 examples was sold out in just eight minutes literal Insanity I know to each their own and all but look at the bigger picture in a democracy their votes counts as much as yours God help us all smart Brabus ultimate e and much like the R333 this smart Brabus ultimate isn't a very smart purchase either in case you don't know Barabbas is a German tuner house that specializes in making the Mad AMG mercs even matter and since smart is a subsidiary of Mercedes they've been poking the 4-2 with their go fast stick as well the thing is there's only so much you can extract from a three-cylinder smart engine but they never stop bravis from giving it ridiculously oversized wheels and a whole set of Arrow thingies that do nothing just look at what they did with this ultimate 125 Edition remember that guy who injected Synthol into his muscles to look bigger well this is the same thing and if you think that 125 horses in a car this size is much somehow it isn't 0-60 still takes over 9 seconds I got a cousin who can take a faster than that True Story by the way worse still is the electric version of the ultimate the ultimate e with just 90 horses it's even slower in fact it's as fast as a regular version since you can't tune an electric motor yet also the range is just 70 miles give or take and perhaps still has the balls nay the audacity the charge 55 grand for it just buy a normal one you'll be less of a laughing stock for sure not much but still less LCC Junior cars a history lesson for you first back when Mr Bugatti was still around he made a birthday gift for his four-year-old son a half-sized electric replica of the type 35 Racer oh cute isn't it it was a one-off but when other rich people spoiled brat saw they wanted one too and so the so-called Bugatti baby went into a surprisingly long production 1927-1936 almost a century later Bugatti decided to bring it back and for that they commissioned a little car company from Britain this new Bugatti baby 2 is slightly larger coming in at 75 percent of the original size but the rest is once again a pretty faithful copy of the legendary racer this one too turned out to be a huge hit and that made the little car company quite famous as well soon after Aston Martin approached them to build some downsized db5s fitted with a 007 gizmos and all I'm talking Gatling guns that shoot blanks LCD shifting number plates and a smoke screen that comes out of the tailpipes it's actually kind of cool but the crowning achievement has to be getting Ferrari's blessing to build a replica of the old Testarossa Ferrari is more trigger happy than a Scientologist when it comes to suing people so you can imagine how impressed they were with this junior Edition when they allowed it to go into production pretty good prices Bing Bang Boom well you know what they say Boys Never Grow Up their toys just become more expensive Dango T600 this thing may look Goofy and dorky and lame and stupid but trust me the Tango T600 is a very clever idea indeed well halfway it's something like the Renault twizzy in the way that it sits two people one behind the other that makes it very narrow and perfect for tackling those insufferable City congestions it's also electric but that's where the similarities end while the twizzy is a product of a huge corporation that can spend some proper cash on proper designers the Tango is a brainchild of just one man called Rick who had to sell this boat in order to kick start the project that's why the headlights look like they came off a Dodge van while the tail lights are from some SUV I presume these two glass surfaces seem to be from two different cars as well and the rest of the body although from carbon fiber looks more like melted Tupperware if you ask me so yeah it's a Frankenstein both visually and structurally but at least it's exciting to drive because the T600 has 805 horses 800. what 700 just wasn't enough what the and I don't care that it has a NASCAR approved roll cage and that it won't flip on its side because all the weight is at the bottom and I don't care that the handling was tuned by the racing experts from prodrive with 800 horses on tap this thing looks more dangerous than an Ocean Gate sub worse yet it costs 300 000 again the sub seems like a better deal I make that deal I don't blame you damn good deal now before I reveal my number one here are some honorable mentions see if you can guess them [Music] thank you and at number one restaurant rallying Legends rest of mods are restored old classics that have been modernized with new Engines new tech and in many cases even an arrow at first such conversions were frowned upon because you would end up ruining a valuable classic in the process but ever since singer came up with their 911 reimagined the feelings have dramatically changed suddenly everyone wants a modern version of their favorite old car no matter the price and so we now have Resto mods of some of the greatest rallying Legends too I'm talking about the Renault 5 turbo the 205 GTI the Lancia Delta and even the original Mini the R5 turbo is my favorite one of the bunch because just look at that ass it's thicker than a bowl of oatmeal this has to be one of the meanest looking hatchbacks ever made and the most expensive ones too the price is a guarded secret which is just another way of saying tax the rich hi the Delta futurista is a nice cool 350 000 which is also a lot but I mean come on who could say no to this as for the mini there's nothing many about its price either around a hundred thousand dollars it's not a question of whether it's worth it but how many Die Hard fans are out there and lastly the 205 GTI by Tolman it is the closest to the original same design plus the aircon phone connectivity and improved performance that's it still it takes 700 hours to finish one and the price is 70 grand considering that this is one of the greatest hot hatchbacks ever made and then improved and it's also a classic 70 sounds like a good deal for those who absolutely love it and there are many anyway that's it for today I'll see you in the next one cut come on come on come on let's go
