World's Most Expensive Cars

A luxury car is a car that provides increased levels of comfort, equipment, amenities, quality, performance, and status relative to regular cars for an increased price. The term is subjective and reflects both the qualities of the car and the brand image of its manufacturer

Lamborghini Veneno - $4.5 Million

 One of the most radically designed hypercars to ever grace the automotive scene is without a shadow of a doubt the Lamborghini Veneno. The droptop version was limited to just nine examples when it debuted approximately six years ago and had a starting price of $4.5 million. This particular example with a rather questionable spec that might make you think of a beige German taxi was acquired by Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, Vice President of Equatorial Guinea and son of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.

Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita - $4.8 Million.

Koenigsegg developed a unique coated fiber solution for the Trevita program that transformed the fibers from black to a sparkling, silvery white. When sunlight hits the Trevita, it sparkles as if millions of tiny white diamonds are infused inside the visible carbon fiber bodywork.

Rolls-Royce Sweptail - $12.8 Million.

The Rolls-Royce Sweptail is a one-off large luxury car made in the United Kingdom by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. At the time of its May 2017 debut at the yearly Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este event it was the most expensive new automobile in the world, costing around $12.8 million USD.

The Sweptail is based on the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé and hand-built over 4 years. Inspired by coachbuilding of the 1920s and 1930s. The Sweptail was commissioned bespoke in 2013 as a one-off automobile, at the request of a super-yacht and aircraft specialist who had a unique idea in mind.

Giles Taylor, director of design at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars described the Sweptail as "the automotive equivalent of Haute couture".

In 2019, the Sweptail was overtaken as the most expensive new car by the Bugatti La Voiture Noire which sold for $18.7 million.

Bugatti Centodieci - $9 Million.

Bugatti unveiled its latest limited-edition model at a classic car show in California Friday. The Bugatti Centodieci will cost $9 million and only 10 will be made.

This car is an homage to the Bugatti EB110 supercar of the early 1990s. Centodieci means 110 in Italian. The EB110 was built in Northern Italy's "Motor Valley," not far from where Lamborghini, Ferrari and Maseratis are made. It was an attempt to revive the Bugatti brand, which had been dormant since the 1950s. The Centodieci's design recalls the EB110s low, aggressive appearance.

Bugatti La Voiture Noire - $12.5 Million.

There's no such thing as a "cheap" new Bugatti. A standard Chiron—if you can even call one standard starts at just under $3 million. Then there's the Chiron Sport variant, which tacks a few hundred grand onto that number, and options like the Sky View roof and colored carbon-fiber body panels raise the price even further. Finally, there's the Divo, which is a limited-run model based on the Chiron that's focused on track performance and costs just shy of $6 million. But today at the Geneva auto show, Bugatti has revealed a one-off car that truly does make the rest of its lineup look cheap and basic. It's called La Voiture Noire, and Bugatti says it's the most expensive new car of all time, costing its owner $12.5 million before taxes (or $18.9 million including them).

Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta - $17.5 Million.

The Pagani Zonda may no longer be in production, but there are still a handful of special editions roaming around. One such model, the Zonda HP Barchetta, is reported to cost $17.5 million USD, according to Top Gear, making it the most expensive car in the world.

The recently-spotted Zonda HP Barchetta belongs to Horacio Pagani, while two other iterations are being built, but they have already been pre-sold. The exotic beast boasts a 7.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine capable of cranking out 789bhp, in addition to featuring a six-speed manual gearbox.

Forged aluminum wheels — 20-inch in the front and 21-inch in the rear — then note different color inlays, while the rear wheel fairings are made from carbon fiber. And although it's roofless, the Zonda HP Barchetta has a roof scoop.
