Mercedes-Benz confirmed on Thursday that it recently sold the world's most expensive car. A very rare 1955 Mercedes-Benz SLR coupe that had been kept in the German automaker's collection was sold to a private owner for €135 million, the equivalent of $142 million.

That price makes it the most expensive car known to ever have been sold, according to Hagerty, a company that tracks collector car values.
