Maybach 62

Not many cars come with their own personal assistant, but that's exactly what you get when you order a Maybach. Really, whatever you want is just a call away, whether it be a pizza delivered to the next junction on the motorway or the address of a jeweller to buy your mistress a new Tiffany diamond necklace, the Maybach personal assistant can sort it out for you. That's quite a service, but then when you've dropped well over quarter of a million pounds on your ride such things are expected.

The Maybach itself isn't the prettiest of machines, but it's certainly got presence. Buying the smaller 57 is like admitting you're a bit short on money, so really only the full-sized 62 will do. Power is immense, the twin-turbo V12 giving this monster the ability to reach 62mph in just 5.4 seconds, or 5.2 seconds if you opt for the even more loony 62 S. Just be careful not to spill your champagne in the back when doing so!
