Price

Mercedes-Benz recently sold the most expensive car in the world to a private customer for 135 million euros, equivalent to 142 million dollars. It was a very rare 1955 Mercedes-Benz SLR Coupe.

CNN reported that this car is the most expensive car ever sold, according to a company that monitors car prices. Mercedes said in an announcement that the money from the sale will be used to establish a global scholarship fund.

The previous record selling price for a 1963 Ferrari 250 GT was $70 million, paid for in 2018.

The Mercedes that was sold at the highest price ever was one of only two models. The 67-year-old cars were named after Mercedes' chief engineer at the time, Rudolf Ullenhout, and the model has a top speed of 186 mph.

The car was sold at an invitation-only closed auction from the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart on May 5, held in association with RM Sotheby's. The other Benz car will remain in the company's museum.

Perfect car for you in Qatar

Buying a car in Qatar is probably the most demanding decision to make. Choosing the perfect car for you in Qatar, either new or used, is not as difficult as you might imagine, but it will take some time to make your selection. A wide variety of cars can be found in Qatar, from tiny hatchbacks to massive SUVs, from older models to newly released, top-of-the-line automobiles. Some individuals may prefer the illusion of safety that a slightly larger 4x4 provides, as well as the days of dune bashing and desert driving that such a car allows. Others prefer easy-to-navigate smaller cars. No matter your preference though, options are aplenty, and what’s more, petrol is cheap...
