The Week's Most Important Car Numbers
From a Mercedes-Benz G-Class to a pricey BMW, these are the most important numbers of the week.
KhodroCar - Numbers are all around us – whether we're breaking down the performance of a Ferrari 488, or comparing the price of a Model S to a Mercedes. Every week we pick out a few numbers that are so significant we have to give them a second look. Today we’re looking at key figures from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin.
27.6
The fording depth, in inches, of the new Mercedes-Benz G-Class – that’s an impressive 70 centimeters. It’s also an increase of 3.9 inches (10 cm) from the outgoing model. While the G-Class won’t officially be revealed for another week, there’s a lot to read about already: Mercedes has released fresh info, we went for a ride in a prototype, and photos leaked out onto the internet.
34,230
The cost, in dollars, of all the options you can add to the 2018 BMW M5. Ticking the option boxes will add a Honda Accord’s-worth of extra cost to your M5. Would you pay that much for an all-wheel-drive performance sedan with 600 horsepower and a 189-mile-per-hour top speed?
330,000
How much, in Euros, a German car dealer was asking buyers to pay for an early-build Lamborghini Urus. That’s nearly $400,000, and about a 60-percent markup over the SUV’s actual starting price. If you just can’t wait, well, maybe it’ll be worth it to you?
58
The increase, in percent, of annual car sales for Aston Martin. The company shifted 5,117 vehicles in 2017, a nine-year high that came on the back of strong interest in the new DB11 and Vanquish S. Those sales volumes should only continue to grow once the DBX crossover is launched.
