Money talks in Geneva

For just €1.1 million (before local taxes) you can buy a Ferrari 599XX that's not homologated to be used on the road. Instead this 700bhp monster comes with full access to Ferrari's technicians, six track events and the chance to help shape Ferrari's future road car development. At least that's what Ferrari claims.

2 Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire

Bored of your regular Bugatti? Then you need to get in touch with the hypercar maker and order up this one-off Bleu Centenaire model. It has been built to celebrate 100 years of Bugatti and costs a quite staggering €1.35m. If you're not quick enough just wait until the next motorshow, where Bugatti will no doubt create another 'one-off' Veyron to help shift the last 50 it's got penned in for production.

3 Aston Martin One - 77

British firm Aston Martin showed off a mock-up of its super-exclusive One-77 hypercar at the Geneva show. Actually, with 77 planned it's not that exclusive, which has to hurt a bit when you're forking out £1m to have one in your garage. That's a lot for a car that looks little different to the old Vanquish with a few more scoops. Buy a V8 Vantage and send it to a coachbuilder if you want a truly unique Aston. You'll save a fortune, too.

4 Maybach Zeppelin

The Zeppelin might be unusual in this list for not being a supercar but this mighty Maybach does have a sub-five second 0-62mph time and plenty of power on tap. So it should, as it's not exactly a snip at €473,200. That's before you start adding options, too. There might be a recession going on around the world, but nobody seems to have mentioned it to the people at Maybach.

5 Brabus G V12 S Biturbo

The Mercedes G-Wagen might be an automotive geriatric, but that's not stopped the loons at Brabus putting a 690bhp turbocharged V12 engine under its square-cut bonnet. Doing so creates an absolute monster, the G V12 S reaching 62mph in a quite staggering 4.3 seconds. All for the starting price of, wait for it, €379,000 - making this easily the most expensive off-roader to be on show at Geneva. Absurd.
