The Week's Most Important Car Numbers
From an expensive Alfa Romeo to a quick Mercedes SUV, 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-AMG, BMW, Alfa Romeo, and more.

38,000
How much more you’ll pay, in dollars, for the 505-hp Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio versus the base, 280-hp Stelvio. Granted, those figures are before options, and the hot Stelvio has plenty of other upgrades – and an impressive Nürburgring time of 7:51.7 – to make it worth the extra cost.
60 millionThat's today's value, in dollars, of three cars that famously crashed in 1962, when a Ferrari 250 GTO and a 250 SWB tangled with '2 VEV' – the Aston Martin just revealed as the star car at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed auction.
