We usually think of standard car options as being minor upgrades, but the most expensive factory options are anything but minor – some of these extras cost more than a Porsche or a Lamborghini.
Some ultra-exclusive manufacturers take customization to a whole other level.
If customers are willing to shell out six figure sums, they can give their car bespoke materials or handcrafted components that cost just as much as a supercar.
These are some of the most expensive factory options guaranteed to break the bank.
These factory options will cost you a fortune
When you’ve got a ton of money to spend, you might feel like going one step beyond when it comes to your cars.
After all, if you’re going to spend six figure sums, why not give your car a little extra something that makes it special?
The Koenigsegg Regera certainly delivers when it comes to pricey extras.
Then there’s the paint job on the Bentley Flying Spur, which is not only time consuming at 60 hours, but would cost you more than a new Mercedes E-Class.
And then there’s this $1,000 cup holder that comes with certain Lamborghinis.
Yes, you read that right – $1,000 for something that’s inevitably going to get wet and stained by soda, coffee, and whatever else happens to get spilled.
These are some of the most expensive factory options on the market today.
Bugatti Divo – carbon fiber exterior
Price: $500,000
The carbon fiber exterior has been branded a ‘multimillion-dollar feature’, with models finished in exposed or tinted carbon fetching roughly double on the secondhand market.
Of the 40 Divos that were produced, only a handful have the exposed carbon body, which undoubtedly sends their value skyrocketing.
McLaren Speedtail – 1k carbon roof scoop
Price: $112,000 – $155,000
The roof scoop funnels huge amounts of air into the Speedtail’s twin-turbo V8.
Because only 106 Speedtails were ever made, the amount of work that goes into this feature is unsurprisingly pricey.
That includes tooling costs and R&D.
Pagani Zonda – manual conversion
Price: $295,000
Several wealthy owners have wanted their Paganis redelivered to them as manual cars.
As you might expect, re-engineering the central monocoque, creating custom footwells for the third pedal, and creating new electronics adds up to a hefty bill.
Koenigsegg Jesko – naked carbon body
Price: $443,400
You might scoff at the thought of somebody paying out nearly half a million dollars for a ‘paint job’.
But this is no run-of-the-mill paint job.
To give the Jesko its naked carbon body requires a level of precision that few of us could muster.
When the remaining layer of epoxy resin is removed, it requires extreme focus.
This painstaking process equals hundreds of hours of labor, so it’s no wonder that people pay the big bucks for it.
