How much can you spend on fwd?

[5lab]

So the three car, three drivetrain thread got me wondering, whats the most you can lay down on an fwd car these days? As a general rule, as price increases so does power, and fwd becomes more of a compromise. So whats the best you can do? Can you spend 60k on a fwd evoke? 70 on an a6? Is there something historic worth more? I guess for a whaftmobile its not so bad, but get out the configurators and have a play

First stab, and i'm sure there are plenty more expensive: DS Decap Presidente or something

ETA not Presidente, I can't remember. I know they have topped £100k but the problem with historic cars is they're susceptible to price bubbles.

Just had a quick go on Audi's cofigurator. Got a FWD A6 up to £58,850.

EDIT: Some classics will be more expensive though, how about that Mini the Beatles drove once?

$440,000. And people moan about depreciation on French cars.

Really expensive audis are going to be quattro which limits you somewhat in that respect.

ok well we've figured out old stuff is pricier, but i guess it'll never be ragged anyway, so what can folks get 'off the shelf'?

But for just $192,000 you could have a Cord. TBH it looks like it's worth it though...!
