The Most Expensive Vehicle On The Planet, $2.5 Billion for 0.1 MPH?

If we told you that we knew of a vehicle that would cost somewhere near $2.5 billion to build, what would you picture? For most, that picture would probably be of some sort of super luxurious speed demon that was unlike any other that they’ve seen before, clad in precious metals and materials.

However, this time, we check out what such a car really looks like and it’s nothing like the riches that you probably pictured. Instead, it’s the Mars Curiosity Rover, a piece of machinery that is designed to handle the terrain of Mars, an engineering project that ended up costing a pretty penny.

Sure, the rover might only be able to achieve a top speed of 0.1 MPH, but at the end of the day, speed isn’t a priority in the scheme of things. Ultimate maneuverability is really at the forefront of this machine designed to explore new frontiers.

Jay Leno gives us the grand tour of the machine as he takes a spin to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California to get a little demonstration of what exactly makes this thing worth so much money. Be sure to check it out below and tell us what you think of this machine
