Author: James. Lee
Car insurance: love it or loath it, if you own a car it's as
sure as death and taxes. We all get that feeling that we're
paying too much for our car insurance, but how much do some
people really pay? We're going to cheer ourselves up by looking
at the most expensive to insure cars in the world.
1.Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
There have been ten versions to date, all of them share a two
litre, turbocharged engine and four-wheel drive system in

Rally Championship. Because of its racing roots this car is
considered high risk and is very expensive to insure.

German automaker Mercedes-Benz. The most powerful model of the
CL is also the most expensive Mercedes-branded vehicle on the
market, costing up to $197,775. The car's cost alone is reason
enough for the high price of insurance, but because it's so
expensive it's is also one of the world's cars most targeted by
criminals.
3.Dodge SRT-4

in what SRT stands for, "Street and Racing Technology". This car
is bought by people because it handles like a race car to be
driven like a race car, but places where it shouldn't be, like
on busy roads in towns and cities. Owning one is almost a
declaration that your going to be driving quickly and
recklessly, and as the car doesn't come cheap the insurance
premiums have to be able to cover the risk.
