The most expensive cars offer so much more than just transportation.
They are trophies owned by the 1% of the world. Some models are created
for one person alone and only have one buyer of the name plate. We
occasionally come across such mind boggling machines in the media too.
In Fast and Furious 7, the car breaking into the second tower after
jumping from the first one was a scene that the whole world remembers.
One character said that there were only seven of those cars made for the
wealthiest of the people.
We have compiled a list of ten most expensive cars that were recently
produced. They do not include the auctioned version of the classic. Also
we have limited the list to cars that have one name plate only which
means that you can’t expect another version of the same Bugatti Veyron.

Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita
This car is for $4.8 million and is legally allowed to run on the road.
Why is there so much coin to it? It has real diamonds coating and
diamonds do not come cheap. So basically now we are dolling up cars too.
The touch up paint that covers the body of the car was made by carbon
fibre impregnated with diamond dust. Beneath the extravagant lustre is a
4.8 litre tank with 1,004 horsepower engine which seems quite comical
given the price tag. The efficiency of the car does not match the price
tag by any means. In addition, only three such cars were ever made. |

Lamborghini Veneno
The car was made as a celebration of the automaker’s 50th birthday.
Interestingly, it is Spanish and translates to Poison or venom. With
looks like that, it surely does kill. There is only one thing that is
more remarkable than the car which is the price tag. It is for a
whopping $4.5 million and attractive from every angle. It appears to be
a UFO surveying the planet. In addition, the car is fast, delivering 60
mph in 2.9 seconds with 8,400 revolutions pm and 740 hp. |

W Motors Lykan Hypersport
This is the car from Furious 7 that we mentioned in the introduction.
The focus that the car got in the movie as it crashed through not one,
not two but three skyscrapers in Dubai is a testimony to its magnetism.
Its headlights are encrusted with jewels, it has scissor doors and an
interior that can embarrass the most lavish of hotels. Its performance
matches its spirit as it appears to be an angry version of some car from
the future. With 3.7 liter it yields 770 horsepower and is 708 lbs in
weight. It goes 0 to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and the $3.4 million car is
used by the Abu Dhabi police force for patrol duty. Talk about richness!
The third most expensive cars. |

Bugatti Veyron
After the Mighty Eagle, we have the Mighty Bugatti Veyron. It is not
only one of the fastest cars in the world but also one of the most
expensive cars with a price tag of $3.4 million. This list would not be
complete without the car so we cast the light on the Mansory Vivere
edition here. It has an alluring carbon-fiber body with upgraded LED
lights. With a revamped interior and a redesigned front grill. In
addition, the machine delivers 1,200 hp on the road. It can do a scary
254 mph by the way which adds more class to the historic race events
maps etched into the exterior and the interior. |

Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio
The Ferrari Sergio asks for $3 million should you want it, but it still
isn’t the most expensive cars on our list. Yet it is a trophy car and
only six were ever made. It is essentially a redesigned version of the
Ferrari 458 Spider. With a new body and interior it delivers 562 hp with
its 4.5 liter V8 that sends the power to the rear wheels. To top it all,
it weighs only 458 so it is quicker and better to handle.
The aerodynamic headrests are built directly into the roll cage so the
new body doesn’t just save weight. In addition, it is full of
interesting details. Each owner of this Sergio was chosen by the
automaker itself thus making it one of the invite-only and rare vehicles
in the history of automobiles.

The $2.6 million Pagani Huayra
The Huayra is named after the Incan God of Winds and lives up to its
name as it has the second fastest road-legal top gear lap ever to hit
the studios. With an AMG sourced V12, the best lives up to its name.
Pagani debuted the Huayra BC in 2016 Geneva Motor Show that was a
lighter and alluring version. The BC version has been fitted with a huge
active rear spoiler that generates 1,102 pounds of downforce at a speed
of 155 mph. The car is a true featherweight with 2,654 pounds because of
the lightweight carbon fibre and lightweight materials used and could
have cost you $2.6 million if all 20 units ever produced would not have
been sold! Also, the 6th most expensive cars.

Ferrari F60 America
With a price tag of $2.5 million, The Italian brand built 10 models of
this bombshell to celebrate 60 years of the company in North America.
Wearing a colour scheme of stars and stripes, it pulls off patriotism
beautifully- based on the F12 Berlinetta. It has AMerican flag seat
inserts and a classic racing livery all around that allows you to
experience the glory with the top down. This is possible because the F60
features a fabric that is lightweight and supports operating speeds up
to 75mph. The glorious car can be propelled to 60 mph in only 3.1
seconds and we owe that to 6.2 liter V12 that churns 740 hp. The car
could be a throwback to the 1950s and 1960s when it made several
regional sports cars.

Bugatti Chiron
The luscious Bugatti Chiron has a price tag of $2.5 million. Its
gorgeous new body surpasses its predecessor in every way. It aimed to
laugh at those who believed that the Veyron was the last of its kind.
This was proved by pushing the efficiency of the vehicle further. It has
monstrous specs no doubt the efficacy of which is made possible through
a quad turbocharged 8.0 liter W 16 which produces 1,500 ho of power. The
Chiron goes 0 to 60 in just 2.5 seconds with its top speed being 261
mph. Despite this, it is not the fastest car in the world- that is the
Hennessey Venom GT- but then cars like these are not meant for speeding;
they are meant for the impact. When a person comes out of a car like
this, there is a statement that can’t be forgotten for long!
