To some, a car is simply a car, a necessity, used to get
from A to B. To others, however, cars are a lifestyle. They are amazing machines,
works of art and the list could go on forever. Probably why some cars are so
flipping expensive and why plenty of people are happy to pay ridiculous amounts
for them! We’re listing the top ten most expensive cars IN THE WORLD.
Brace yourselves.
10. Zenvo ST1 ($1.2M)
We start at number ten. The ST1 is a beast of
a supercar is not only sleek and stylish, but packs a 6.8-litre V8 with not
only a supercharger, but also a turbocharger. With 1,104 horsepower to boot,
this car is definitely worth all the debt. However, the supercar has faced a
fair bit of controversy, with a disastrous appearance on Top Gear which led to
breakdowns, slow lap times and an engine fire. Zenvo claimed that the fire was
caused by extreme driving, but either way, the ST1 isn’t exactly a car you
would say no to.
9. Ferrari LaFerarri ($1.4M)
Only 499 units were made of this supercar, and they were quickly
sold. The LaFerrari packs a 6.3-litre V12, with an electric motor and trick ‘Kinetic
Energy Recovery System.’ What’s more impressive is the car’s ability to accelerate
from 0-60 mph in less than 3 seconds, and to 124mph in under 7. Impressive.
8. Pagani Huayra ($1.4M)
This car is just as unique as its name. Named after the Incan
God of Winds, the Huayra has an AMG-sourced 6.0-litre V12, with two
turbochargers and 620 horsepower to boot. When competing with others, the
Huayra comes out on top beating the likes of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and
the Ariel Atom 500.
7. Aston Martin One-77 ($1.4M)
If you were looking to be the next James Bond in this sexy
Aston Martin, think again, as all 77 units have been sold and taken. That, and
the fact that it is worth $1.4 million big ones. Sporting both an elegant yet
beastly exterior look, the One-77 packs a V12, producing an impressive 750
horsepower. Not only can the car do a 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, it can hit
220 mph overall, making it the fastest car that Aston Martin have ever made.
6. Koenigsegg One: 1 ($2M)
The limited edition One:1 can reach 273 mph due to its
whopping 1,340 horsepower. This Swedish ‘megacar’ therefore is one the fastest
cars ever made, and one of the most advanced as well. With its F1 inspired
core, “ventilated ceramic brakes”, and “carbon fibre intake manifold”, only six
were ever made.
5. Ferrari F60 America ($2.5M)
In celebration of Ferarri’s 60th anniversary in
North America, the F60 was made exclusively, with only ten units being sold.
The supercar mimics the mechanics of the F12 and features a 6.2 litre V12 that
means the car can make 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds. The car was designed with a
patriotic exterior ike the Stars and Stripes colour scheme and American flag
seat inserts.
4. Mansory Vivere Bugatti Veyron ($3.4M)
The Veyron is not only one of the most expensive cars in the
world, but also one of the fastest. It can reach 254 mph, and with LED lights,
a redesigned cabin and front grill and a beautiful carbon fibre body and
spoiler package to boot, this car is worth every penny... or million. Yeah,
million is more fitting.
3. W Motors Lykan Hypersport ($3.4M)
Aaahhh, we are in the top 3. To begin this off, the Lykan
Hypersport is not only a beauty, but packs a 3.7 litre, twin-turbo flat six
that can reach a top spead of 240mph. With its stylish scissor doors, futuristic
interior design and jewel-encrusted headlights, no wonder why this car smashed
through three skyscrapers in a starring role in Furious 7.
2. Lamborghini Veneno ($4.5M)
Veneno translates from Italian to English as: Poison. Yeah,
I know. The name suits the stylish and futuristic exterior. Worth a whopping $4.5
million, the car is packed with a 6.5 litre V12, able to hit 60mph in 2.9
seconds. This car is ridiculously stunning and expensive, but is number 2 on
our list. So what’s number 1? Keep scrolling...
1. Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita ($4.8M)
So this is our number 1. The car is the most expensive car
in the world, and why you ask? Because it’s covered in diamonds and no, I’m not
lying! The carbon fibres are covered with a diamond dust-impregnated resign. The
car also boasts a 4.8 litre dual supercharged V8, but only three were ever
made... really, is $4.8 million a lot? (That last bit is dripping in sarcasm!)
So there you have it, the top most expensive cars in the
world!
