Let me see ...

a Merc S400 Bluehybrid costs about $90,000 according to the article here ...

And the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport costs about $2.1 million according to another article here ...

So, how many S400s can one buy for the same money as a Bugatti Veyron?

Well, it seems one can comfortably buy 20 of them but perhaps one won't be able to buy a couple dozen ...

Well, you win some and you lose some as they say ...
