Onliner.by has prepared its top 10 most expensive cars mobiles officially sold today by Belarusian dealers.
10th place- Jaguar XJ Ultimate AWD ($240,000).)
The tenth line of today's rating is occupied by the all-wheel drive modification of the Jaguar XJ performed by Ultimate. This luxury British sedan is equipped with a 3-litre supercharged petrol engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission gears. The power of the unit is 340 liters. With. This is enough to accelerate a 5.2-meter 1900-kilogram sedan to hundreds in 6.4 seconds. At the same time, the average fuel consumption due to new box is less than 10 liters per hundred.
Model XJ is the flagship Jaguar, which only this year officially debuted on our market.

This is more expensive than the Audi A8, Mercedes S class or BMW 7 Series.
9th place -PorscheCayenneTurboS ($248k)
A “charged” SUV will cost a little more for Belarusians Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. One of the fastest SUVs in the world is equipped with a 4.8-liter V8 with 550 horsepower. With. The maximum torque of the G8 is 750 Nm. Acceleration to hundreds of this super SUV takes 4.5 seconds. Max speed reaches 283 km / h. I can’t even believe that this “sports car” is able to leave the asphalt.
On Cayenne Turbo S install an 8-speed Tiptronic S gearbox. According to the manufacturer, the average fuel consumption of the model is 11.5 liters per 100 km. For all its "sporting" virtues, Cayenne is very practical car. For example, the volume of its trunk varies from 670 to 1780 liters.

The German supercar Mercedes SLS AMG is about to leave the stage. But if you have $323,000, you can still order it. If you have $340 thousand lying around, then the legendary "gull wings" can be replaced with a removable roof - that's how much the SLS AMG Roadster costs for Belarusian customers.
The power of the 6.2-liter V8, which is located under the huge hood of the SLS, is 517 hp. With. The unit is paired with a 7-band AMG SPEEDSHIFT and accelerates the car to hundreds in 3.8 seconds. The maximum speed of the roadster is 317 km/h. Average consumption fuel in ideal conditions - 13.2 liters per hundred. The trunk of the roadster is only 176 liters. Seedlings are not particularly loaded, so wealthy summer residents can move on to the next hero of the top 10.
6th place -BentleyflyingSpur ($344 thousand)
The boot capacity of the Bentley Flying Spur is 475 liters, the lid is large and opens wide. But this is not the only advantage of one of the most expensive sedans in the world.

5th place- Mercedes CL65 AMG ($397 thousand.)
The top five is closed by the breathtaking Mercedes coupe CL65 AMG. Next year, the CL family will leave the market forever, losing seat S-class coupe. But you still have the opportunity to order a top modification of the CL65 AMG. The cost of such a “two-door” is almost $400 thousand.

4th place - Bentley Continental GTC Speed ($403 thousand.)
Of course, the British super convertible Bentley Continental GTC Speed also made it to our rating. The car has four seats and a 260-liter trunk.

The maximum speed is 325 km/h.
The car differs from the standard GT / GTC line with a modified suspension, improved braking system and light external additions.

The President admitted about the luxurious gift in October last year:
I got a Maybach for my birthday. The production of these machines has already been closed. I gave it to the state, it is in the state garage. However, I don't ride it. Even my driver understands that it is immodest to drive such a car.

The Minsk copy was the first "Maybach" from BRABUS, and for the first two years the studio drove the car to exhibitions as a demo car. And in 2005, a certain wealthy gentleman from Belarus bought the car.
There are quite a lot of hunters in Belarus who take pictures unusual cars. For example, Roman from Grodno, who rode around Belarus and photographed black SUVs. Or another resident of Grodno, Alexander, who likes to photograph trolleybuses.
Minsk blogger Nikita Kazak is also partial to technology. He is hunting for rare cars throughout Belarus and for each region chose the most exclusive car. What do you think, what exclusive according to his version is in the Grodno region?
The story of Nikita's passion doesn't start with Turbo chewing gum and racing in Need for Speed. The young man came to his hobby in a different way. "My father never had a car, but he just burned automotive world, - instead of dating, the guy says onliner.by. - He took me with him to all events. When I was a teenager, our the best vacation was to go to the motor show, jeeper rally, trial. So my illness is hereditary."
Brest region - Opel Commodore (A), produced in 1967-72
We are talking about such machines, they say, they do not rot, but rest, waiting for a second wind, their restorer. The rest of this Opel was delayed. The car, unique for our country, has been standing "in the garden" in the suburbs of Brest for more than one year, and with the windows down. It is not difficult to guess what the salon has become, already “modified” by someone with the help of carpets. The design of the car is really impressive - in combination with frameless doors, the coupe looks really cool. It is known that this Commodore is registered in the Soviet Union, it was imported into the country more than 25 years ago. There are no advertisements for the sale of the model anywhere. Apparently, the owner is stubborn, does not want to part with the relic.
These photos, like many others, were sent to Nikita by other people who are not indifferent to his hobby. It is important for a blogger to see the car with their own eyes, although not necessarily. He calls himself a treasure hunter. “In 2009, I accidentally got to Retro-Minsk and realized what I wanted to do in my free time - to look for exclusive cars,” the young man recalls. radio users found out about me and began to send pictures or messages where the rarity was seen."
Vitebsk region - 1963 Ford Country Squire
As far as it was possible to find out, the car was brought back to Soviet time in Yoshkar-Ola. After a couple of dozen yo Ford sold to Moscow, tried to find a new owner in St. Petersburg, and later - in Minsk. And the price for such rare car was junk - less than 5 thousand dollars. As a result, the guys from Lepel, the owners of the tuning studio, became the owners of the Country Squire. Interestingly, the car is made in Woody Style, that is, wooden elements are used in the exterior. It is not known if they will be updated at the studio, since complete restoration not planned. Most likely, only the body will be left, and the "insides" will be installed from the Mercedes 220.
"The picture was sent to work time, says the blogger. - I used to do my hobby only after work. Now I move around the city in a more free mode. Sometimes, someone calls: “There is a Cadillac of the 70s in Bangalore!” And I'm already on my way. I rarely talk to the owners. Firstly, I already know a lot of data about the car. And secondly, why hide - I'm lost, I'm embarrassed.
Gomel region - 1979 Ford Thunderbird
The owner lives in Mozyr. The car has been in the regional center for several years, but has not yet been registered in the Republic of Belarus. This is evidenced by the license plate - Russian. It is interesting that so exclusive model seen more than once at exhibitions and automotive events, but she never visited the capital. Why is a mystery.
By the way, Nikita's nickname in social networks is nik_thunderbird. According to the guy, with this Ford model he has a special relationship: "The day I saw the Thunderbird for the first time, I remember perfectly. It was May 15, 2010. In front of me was a 1956 model. As they say, I saw it and fell ill. You could say love at first sight."
Grodno region - Buick Super 8 from 1948
Nikita considers the Buick Super 8 the most exclusive car in the Grodno region. The car is located in Lida, participated in the SunDay festival several times.
The history of this car is very interesting. In 1984, a young couple at that time got married and decided to buy a car with the money received from guests and relatives. But not simple, namely retro. So Buick appeared in our country. At first, under the hood was gasoline engine from the representative 6-seater ZIM (3.5 liters and 90 hp). However, he "ate" a lot of fuel - in combined cycle consumption reached 18-19 liters per hundred. The engine was later replaced by diesel unit from MTZ. But it was so noisy that the driver made forced stops in order to be in silence and recover after several kilometers of the road. Now the Super 8 is powered by an internal combustion engine from Mercedes Gelandewagen. The car has been owned by the same family for 32 years now, it has been used on long journeys more than once.
“This Buick is from the category of “accordion”, Nikita jokes. “Most car enthusiasts have seen it at least once, however, they may not have guessed how unique it is for Belarus. Undoubtedly, the car has become familiar, it has become taken for granted at parades. Compare Super 8 with an Opel Commodore from Brest and you will understand how much time and effort the owners invest in the restoration and maintenance of their cars. They say that this married couple even repairs the vintage car together."
Minsk region - BMW 2000 (produced from 1966 to 1972)
A year ago, a photo of this rare "Bavaria" surfaced on the net. The car was simply parked in an unguarded parking lot, there was no information about the owner. Car enthusiasts were even ready to pay money for any hint about the owner or place of permanent storage of the BMW. But no data has emerged since then. Perhaps the model went to one of the private collections.
"This often happens: a person buys rare car and puts it in the garage, - says the hunter for exclusives. - The car just stands somewhere away from prying eyes and sometimes either does not leave at all, or sees the light a couple of times a year. In my opinion, this is rather strange, although many owners are still worried that envious people may appear. For this reason, they do not want to glow."
Mogilev Region - 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix
The case when the owner is not hiding, but on the contrary - openly declares his acquisition. According to the last owner, the car "was lying on the street under an awning." But after it was warmed up. In 2010 new buyer solemnly announced that Pontiac was waiting for restoration. But it is not known how these plans were realized. Over the past six years, nothing has changed in the guise of a rarity - on the left padded part, instead of the front optics, a hole still gapes.
“Once a rather strange story happened. Looking ahead, I’ll say that in the end the car owner himself contacted me and even made an appointment so that I could find out about his car more- recalls the interlocutor. - But communication began with a diametrically opposite mood. I received information that one of the service stations is interesting car. Went to the place. The guard standing at the barrier stepped back for a second. And I realized: this is my chance. I quickly took a photo and left. I waited six months before publishing the pictures. After the publication, demands from the station to remove the photos immediately rained down. Only after some time the owner admitted: you can look and touch the model, but just don’t take it off.”
Minsk - Ikarus 55 (produced from 1953 to 1972)
For Nikita, the 55th is a shock opening this year. It may seem, they say, that there is something unusual in some kind of bus. But many will be surprised to learn that today in the post-Soviet space only three such models that have survived to this day are known for certain. One is in the Moscow Transport Museum, the other is in the St. Petersburg private collection of the Retro-Bus company, the third is shown in these photographs. And that's all.
There are no more "vacuum cleaners", as they were called in the USSR. And why? In one of the capital's car parks, Nikita was told that earlier buses that had served their time were not sold to "civilians", they were not sent to scrap, but simply dismantled, metal elements were sawn. So they sawed all the deliveries of the 55th. Minsk Ikarus, most likely, fate awaits freight transport. It is unlikely to be restored. Planned to do bright car for the transport of motorcycles.
Bonus. Alfa Romeo RZ with Minsk license plates in Moscow
Finally - a more or less young and terribly rare car that was seen in Minsk, but more often noticed in the Russian capital. A total of 284 copies of this model were produced. All of them quickly scattered around the world. And in some incredible way, one of these cars ended up in our area. It is assumed that "Alfa" was imported at the moment when customs clearance in the Russian Federation had already jumped, but in Belarus it had not yet had time. The owner decided once again do not overpay.
In parting, Nikita made a request: "If you see an unusual, rare car somewhere on the street, do not hesitate to write about it in the mail This address Email protected from spambots. You must have JavaScript enabled to view. Perhaps this car will become the pearl of my photo collection."
Project "Rarity". The seven rarest cars from each region of the country according to the hunter for exclusive cars
We are used to seeing rarities from the auto world at festivals and parades. But rare cars appear on our streets much more often than once a year. There is a whole community of people with cameras hunting for exclusive cars, ready to drop everything, having received a message about the whereabouts interesting model. With one of these enthusiastic photo collectors - blogger Nikita Kazak - we have compiled a list of the rarest cars in Belarus. The short list was divided into regions - so that each of the regions could “boast” about something.
The story of Nikita's passion doesn't start with Turbo chewing gum and racing in Need for Speed. The young man came to his hobby in a different way. "My father never had a car, but he just burned the car world,- instead of dating, the guy says. - He took me with him to all events.

Soon, according to the principle of word of mouth, users found out about me and began to send pictures or messages where the rarity was seen.
Vitebsk region - 1963 Ford Country Squire
As far as we managed to find out, the car was brought back in Soviet times to Yoshkar-Ola.

Sometimes, someone calls: “There is a Cadillac of the 70s in Bangalore!” And I'm already on my way. I rarely talk to the owners. Firstly, I already know a lot of data about the car. And secondly, why hide - I'm lost, I'm embarrassed.

Mogilev Region - 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix
The case when the owner is not hiding, but on the contrary - openly declares his acquisition. According to the last owner, the car "was lying on the street under an awning." But after it was warmed up. In 2010, a new buyer solemnly announced that Pontiac was waiting for restoration. But it is not known how these plans were realized.

After the publication, demands from the station to remove the photos immediately rained down. Only after some time the owner admitted: you can look and touch the model, but just don’t take it off.
Rare cars in our country are difficult to sell for good money, and you don’t want to give away an exclusive thing for a pittance. Even harder to restore a battered car rare model. Therefore, some interesting cars gather dust in parking lots in a long wait for the owners. We found several of these cars.
Renault Avantime- an interesting experiment of French designers. It is not entirely clear how the model got to mass production in general, it is too unusual. At the same time, this is a spacious coupe, and an unusual hatchback, and even a convertible - at the touch of a button, the panoramic roof shifts, exposing the tops of the driver and passengers to the sun and wind.
Only eight and a half thousand cars left the assembly line, and in the CIS these cars can be counted on the fingers. It is not surprising that the owner of this instance cannot find the bumper and fix the car. In addition to rare spare parts, this model has a lot of others. technical features. Repairing Avantime is not an easy task.
Buick Riviera eighth generation — the successor of the glorious traditions of the American automobile industry. Under the hood is a 3.8-liter V-shaped "six", in the cabin there is space, leather and wood. American dream! This is the Supercharged version - the motor produces 240 Horse power. Nissan Skyline bursts with laughter, but for an "American" this is not bad. Alas, but spectacular starts with smoke from under rear wheels will not work - the car is front-wheel drive. He has a rather impressive appearance.
This instance knew better life while living overseas. But now the paint has peeled off, rust has appeared, there are dents on the body. However, all this can be fixed if you seriously take up the restoration of the machine. After the update, you will get a real exclusive, no one in Belarus will definitely have such a car!
Toyota Celica
- Very successful model Japanese company. Machines of the latest, sixth, generation are very popular with us. There are also fifth-generation cars, and early versions are a real exclusive. Toyota Celica second generation has long been gathering dust in the underground parking of the shopping center.
The fate of this car is unenviable - they tried to tune it, but only spoiled it. And with a competent approach to recovery from the car, an interesting youngtimer could turn out. The tuning carried out seriously complicates the restoration of the car - to find, for example, the original bumper will big problem. Therefore, the cost of the car after such a "styling" has become significantly lower. It will only be possible to sell it now for a couple of thousand dollars, and even then if all the mechanics are in order.
Standing next to Toyota is the illegitimate child of the English car industry - Jaguar X-type . At the beginning of the zero years English stamp belonged Ford. The concern tried to revive the brand by releasing the most affordable and most massive Jaguar model. Truly English style inside and out, but the car is based on the third generation Mondeo, so there are no problems with spare parts. Pretty good combination of style and practicality. I myself drove such a car and I can say that the car causes a stable delight of others: “Wow, you have a Jaguar!”. The main thing is not to tell anyone that he is front-wheel drive. However, if you find an all-wheel drive version, it will remove all questions.
Playful children's hands report that the car also wants to take a bath. This is easy to do - a car wash is very close. Wash, polish - and you can defile along the city streets. The only thing missing is a “cat” figurine on the hood, it was offered as an option, and now costs about a hundred dollars in “showdowns”.
BMW M5- the dream of street racers and just tough guys. Daring, like a bullet sharp, clear "wheelbarrow". Vehicles modified by BMW Motorsport are always valuable if they are in good condition. technical condition. The body of the E39 is the very “last right” BMW 5 Series. Under the hood is a 400 hp V8 petrol. Honest. Atmospheric.
The car has been standing here for a long time, its wheels growing into concrete. Kazakh numbers of the old sample hang on it. The first letter X indicates that the car is registered in the South Kazakhstan region. It is not known how this car got to Minsk and why it is gathering dust in the parking lot.
Silver Porsche Boxster S gathering dust in another parking lot. The car has a good color, the dust on it is almost invisible. But if you come up and hold your finger, it will become clear that the car has not been driven for a long time.
