Supercar Blondie, also known as Alex Hirschi, once had the opportunity to experience a rare Mercedes that costs hundreds of millions—making it the world’s most expensive car.
To be slightly more precise, it sold for around $143 million a couple of years ago.
However, it’s not exactly a car to hop around multiple owners because of how rare it is — and, obviously, its price tag.
This is the Mercedes 300 SLR, which is a coupé variant of a racing car that the automaker first introduced back in the 1950s.

Mercedes only ever made two of these before it shut down its racing division, making the two extremely rare.
Alex visited Mercedes in Germany to see what the car was like, and as gorgeous as it looked, it was pretty unconventional.
But it’s a piece of beauty, which you can clearly see in the above video.
