What is the most over-spec'd car?

[drunken monkey]

or maybe you take it into consideration how much you more you can make a car cost by options?

example: fully optioned Mini Cooper Works is £30,000+
fully optioned A Klass Mercedes is £35,000+

to those two, I don't know what else to say except, wtf?

who in their right mind would buy a fully optined A-Klass over a BMW 330i?

As I was reading over this (very interesting) thread, I kept thinking that everyone still has a very different idea of what "over spec'd" means. If it means being able to specify ALOT of options within a given price range, one car immediately jumps to my mind:

The ill-fated Volkswagen Phaeton.

This car will always stand out as the "working man's Bentley" in my mind.

Then again, has production of this officially ceased? In that case, at least it WAS the most overspec'd car.

Apologies in advance if I have misunderstood the topic.

One more thing... If "overspec'd" means greatest engine output per dollar, or the amount of overall performance given for a specific price, the C6 Z06 would have to be a contender (even though it's still gawd awful expensive).

Seems I need to clarify what I meant. By "Overspecced" I meant cars that have more performance than they should rightfully have. The Passat W8 (tangent, "Dub8" not W8 sounds cool to me) was a good example.

But I like seeing people classify "overspecced" in their own ways. So basically just keep on posting what is in your opinion overspecced.

you could also consider an evo or sti, not because of engine output or hp/liter or options, but because if you look at what they are in reality...an impreza and lancer which are both about 1/4 to 1/2 as expensive as the sti/evo...that's a serious markup in price and a seriously increase in specs...overspecd!!!! I dunno...

though I guess you could do that with the mustang and the cobra...or gt500...

Also the Mercedes R63 AMG, which is essentially a 500hp minivan.
