Most Expensive Interior

What is the most expensive interior material? And what is the most expensive interior?

I would guess carbon fiber, but I'm not sure.

Well, for consoles and stuff, Carbon fiber is pretty spendy, next might be Aluminum.

For seats and headliners, that would be Dyed leather.

Most exspensive Interiors are Big 18 Pass. Vans if the don't want it stock and everything done. And Busses, busses take a while to do. A guy brought on into my dads shop one time. He wanted carpet and everything, he was gunna use it as a RV type thing.

I was meaning more in like Bentleys or Jaguars or Navigators or hummers.

oh, I thought you ment price wise.

At my dads shop, liek most it's custom, they pull off the cover cut it in the seams and make patterns.

It's usually not based on car, but on materials, unles the customer wants a factory kit, which means we have to dig through catalogs and find stock seat covers.

A Hummer or a Navigator price wise would be the most spendy otu of teh 4 you listed, since there is so much interior volume to cover if they want the entire inside redone.

Bentlys and Jags generaly have seat warmers, so it's harder since you have to put he heat coil back in the new cover and make sure teh wires line up. And some are electric seats, which mean you have to clear motors and moving parts and stuff.

That answer it decentaly?

Yeah that better. But what is the most expensive interior ever created?

I think it would have to be a factory custom Benley because they use hides from Animals and all of there work is hand-done. So if you included labour as a cost factor, Bentley or RR might be one.

Yea, I'm sure that Bently or RR are one of the most spendy. All of there stuff is Hand Stiched and cut. It has to be real precise too, looks good though.

what about all the carbon fiber in the McLaren??? they had some real nice italian leather in there as well. i bet 3 seats weren't cheap also. anyways..why would anyone want to sit on a zebra hide in their bentley??? i prefer nice leather.

I didn't say Zebra, I meant like Leather Hides and other rare animals I suppose you could get an Alligator interior but that would look really bad and be sticky.

Just thought I would list out a few production costs of a few materials.
By Dollar/Pound
Steel $0.40 Glass Fiber Composites $1.20
Iron $0.50 Magnesium $1.50
Aluminum $0.90 Carbon Fiver Composites $6.00
Plastics $1.00 Titanium $10.00

These are from my materials Text Book

remember that is per pound, so take the density of them into account too.

carbon fiber and titanium

Material? Leather hides cost@2-400 dollars each and are sold by sq.ft. most are 50 sq.ft and cost around 6-8 dollars per sq. ft.Imported Gucci or Louis Vouitton vinyl or cloth material cost $125-140 per yd.! Since these Italian materials are so pricy I'd say The imported designer material since it takes about 3 1/2 to 4 yards to equel 1 hide! They are taking over in Florida at car shows and the Gucci interior looks awsome especially with leather trim accent

there is quite a few expensive materials...carbon fiber is one ..not real rare though. Animal hides (rare ones) are prolly the most expensive. There is this one italian hot rod car that has the hides of ostrichs. And then there is the connely leather in Aston's. Bently's put expensive ones in...a guy that brought his hummer into a customizing shop here and spent 80,000 USD trimming the hummer.. he had SO much stuff mixed..it was tight when it was done too
