The most expensive 2015-model vehicle to insure in the U.S. is Nissan Motor Co.’s 600-horsepower, $150,000 GT-R Nismo, at an average $3,574 a year, Insure.com said Tuesday. The 621-horsepower Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG convertible and the 645-horsepower Dodge SRT Viper held the next two spots.

Expensive vehicles cost more to repair and “the people who buy the cars that are made for speed are going to want to try them out sometime,” Penny Gusner, an analyst at the information website, said in a telephone interview. “The likelihood of them having a more severe crash compared to the soccer mom driving 35 miles an hour in the neighborhood is a lot higher.”

The rankings are based on national averages for 1,522 models, for a 40-year-old man with a clean driving record and good credit. Prices were from six large insurers: Allstate, Farmers, Geico, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm.
