Extremely expensive SUV’s are not anything new. Porsche and Hummer currently produce some of the world’s most expensive SUVs. An infatuation with high-priced gas-guzzlers has produced a market of jaw dropping SUV’s that are sure to impress even the toughest critics.

CNN’s Warrior One

On January 20th of 2007, CNN auctioned off a Hummer used by journalists that were covering the war in Iraq. Warrior One was auctioned for $1.25 million USD with the proceeds being donated to the Fisher House Foundation. Dave Liniger a Vietnam veteran and the founder of Re/Max International Inc. purchased the most expensive SUV sold at auction, bidding $1 million for the Hummer. Dave Ressler after bidding against Liniger at the auction contributed an additional $250,000 to benefit the charity. The Hummer H1 was the world’s most expensive SUV until it ended production in 2006.

By the end of 2007, the Spyker “D12 Peking-to-Paris” SSUV will retail at $300,000, making it the most expensive SUV in the world. Some of the standard features of the Spyker SSUV include: fulltime four-wheel drive, four doors (suicide configuration), VW’s 6-liter, W12 engine with an output of 500hp, 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds, carbon-ceramic matrix brakes, and all aluminum construction.
