Fun Facts: Luxury Rides Mostly Cost Less in America

Russia’s Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the top-level 3LZ trim with the automatic in Z07 spec (for a $30,000 premium over an equivalent U.S. model). For the price of a Mercedes-AMG SL63, one can take a German-plated Z06 on the autobahn. South Africa’s extremely lax speed enforcement and wide-open roads would make the perfect environment for a 650-hp coupe, but Chevrolet doesn’t build a right-hand-drive version of the Corvette, which makes it illegal to register a Z06 in South Africa.

U.S.A.: $86,000
Germany: $131,000 (116,900 euros)
Russia: $141,000 (8,800,000 rubles). 3LZ model only with eight-speed automatic, Z07 spec, carbon-ceramic brakes (U.S. equivalent price: $103,355).
