The United States is the sexiest vehicle market in the world. Almost all world manufacturers are competing to make the best vehicles to conquer the land of Uncle Sam, which has an average annual sales of 7 million units.
Interestingly, vehicle manufacturers can freely be creative, especially in terms of creating high-performance vehicles. Not only local American manufacturers, well-known vehicle manufacturers from Europe and Asia also took part. And high-performance vehicles of course have a correlation with the selling price which is also exorbitant.
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the successor to the American Sweet Heart. Yes, from time to time the Corvette has always been loved, especially by the people of the United States who are crazy about speed.
However, there is a relatively high price for bringing it to the home garage. The cheapest Corvette on offer starts at $80,000 or around Rp. 1 billion less for the Z06 variant. If you want a higher performance package, consumers can choose the Z07 and the C7.R-edition version is offered for around $100,000.
New Ford GT
Offered at $450,000, the New Ford GT is the most expensive locally produced vehicle sold in the United States. But uniquely this super car has a production process that is quite complicated, namely moving around in several places.
Starting from assembly by Mayflower Vehicle Systems in Norwalk, Ohio which was then continued in Michigan, engine assembly at Romeo, painting at Saleen and then finishing at Wixom. Not to forget, this vehicle also had time to go through the production process at Multimatic, a vehicle manufacturer in Ontario, Canada.
Dodge Viper ACR
The normal version of the Dodge Viper is already a local factory-made vehicle which is quite expensive in the United States with a price tag of $ 90,000.
But if this is considered not enough, the highest available Dodge variant, namely the Viper ACR, is offered starting from $118,000 to close to $150,000.
The Viper is manufactured directly at the Fiat Chrysler Automobile (FCA) plant in Detroit. The latest news is that this version will soon be out of production. A new Viper model is in the works and it doesn't feel like it will be offered cheaper than the previous model.
Hennessey Venom GT
One of the most expensive cars made in the United States is the Hennesey Venom GT. Overall indeed the assembly is not made there 100%. Indeed, the Venom GT has a Lotus Exige base made in Hethel, England. And then, Hennessey brought it for further refinement at their facility in Houston, Texas.
As a result, the vehicle that was originally a small sports car has been transformed into a monster, ready to become a competitor to Bugatti and Koenigsegg. The most phenomenal change is to equip the vehicle with a 7.0-liter V8 twin turbo engine that has a power of up to 1,200 hp. The Venom GT is being offered for $1.1 million or $1.2 million for the Spyder version.
