Top 10 most expensive cars in the world
Top 10 most expensive cars in the world
Some of the most expensive cars in the world are breathtaking to look at and drive. so if you’ve got dreams of one day owning your very own Lamborghini, Ferrari or Aston Martin what we’re about to look at will be right up your street.
So if you’ve got a spare few million pounds floating about, in this post we count back from 10 of the most ridiculously expensive, most expensive cars in the world (not including the classics) that money can buy.
10. Porsche 918 Spyder (£501k)
Most expensive cars in the world
At £501,000, the Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the cheapest most expensive cars in the world on the list, but it’s also, according to Porsche, ‘the future of the sports car’. The Spyder goes from 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds, and, in case you’re bothered about the environment (which, looking at this list, is unlikely), it breaks the super car mold by being a hybrid too.
9. Hennessey Venom GT (£652k)
Most expensive cars in the world
We’re only the second car in and we’ve already broken the half a million pound barrier. At £652,000 the Hennessey Venom is a car you might not have heard of before, but one which you’d definitely notice if it pulled up next to you at the Tesco. Aside from its dashing good looks, Hennessey also claim that the Venom has a top speed of 287mph. We say claim because, well, who’s ever going to find out?
9. McLaren P1 (£652k)
Most expensive cars in the world
In joint place with the Hennessey Venom, the McLaren P1 also has a price tag of £652,000. Auto Express has compared the P1 to a fighter jet, and McLaren claim it’s the ‘best driver’s car in the world’. We think that’s probably something to do with the 3.8 liter twin-turbo V8 engine… or then again maybe it’s just because of the beautiful carbon fiber chassis.
8. Zenvo ST1 (£710k)
Most expensive cars in the world
As one of the most expensive cars in the world, the Zenvo was the brain child of a group of people who wanted to make a car which could do two things: get you to the shops and back, as well as rival a Bugatti on the track… hence the massive 7 litre engine, and the three different driving modes. The £710,000 Zenvo ST1 also set Jeremy Clarkson on fire on Top Gear (which could be either a positive or negative… depending on how you look at it).
7. Maybach Landaulet (£750k)
Most expensive cars in the world
If you’re a rapper (or you have £750,000 to spare and want to look like Birdman), the Maybach Landaulet is more like a display case for the rich and famous. With a roof, which reclines the whole way back and a screen separating you and your driver, the Maybach Landaulet is so posh that you require someone else to drive it for you.
6. Ferrari LaFerrari (£770k)
Most expensive cars in the world
It’s got a posh name and an even posher looking set of doors. This £770,600 Ferrari probably isn’t one you’re likely to spot down your local Morrisons, and with a name which translates to ’The Ferrari’, it’s no wonder it’s exclusive. In fact, it’s so exclusive that Ferrari had to invite you to buy one of the 499 made. Didn’t get the call? There’s always eBay…
6. Pagani Huayra (£770k)
Most expensive cars in the world (£770k)
The Pagani Huayra might be in a draw with LaFerrari, but, apart from that as one of most expensive cars in the world it’s a pretty unique supercar. With a 6 litre engine (custom made by AMG, of course), Autocar claim it’s on par with the Bugatti Veyron, and suggest it’s ‘arguably the best-looking supercar on the planet’. And they’ve certainly got a point.
5. Lamborghini Reventon (£954k)
Most expensive cars in the world
Here’s one of the most expensive cars in the world you may recognise. The Lamborghini Reventon has the looks of a fighter jet and the engine of one too. It’s not just the engine people are shouting about either – it’s got the intimidating looks we’re used to from Lambo as well. What makes this even better? There was only 20 of the Reventon’s ever made. And if you’ve got just shy of £1million going spare, one of those could be yours.
4. Aston Martin One-77 (£1.1m)
Most expensive cars in the world
If an Aston Martin is good enough for James Bond, it’s good enough for someone with £1.1million sitting in the bank. It’s sophisticated, it’s fast and it’s really bloody expensive… but what more do you want from one of the most expensive cars in the world and a supercar with a 7.3 litre engine?
4. Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster (£1.1m)
Most expensive cars in the world
The Pagani Zonda is sitting pretty in joint fourth, proving that new doesn’t always mean better. It may cost a few hundred thousand less than it’s baby brother, but there’s no denying it’s just as impressive. But you could be in for a bit of a wait if you’re in the market for one, as Pagani only made 5…
3. Koenigsegg One:1 (£1.18m)
Most expensive cars in the world
Now I know it sad, but this is one of the most expensive cars in the world that we have no idea about how you pronounce the name. But who cares when you find a car that looks like this. If you’re not one for following tradition, Koenigsegg’s self-titled ‘world’s first Megacar’ has a horsepower to kg curb weight ratio of 1:1. If you’re not sure what that means, it’s basically the ‘dream’ power to weight balance… hence the name, One:1. Clever eh?
2. Bugatti Veyron Vivere by Mansory (£2.01m)
Most expensive cars in the world
Not only is this Bugatti Veyron one of the most expensive cars in the world, but it’s also the fastest road-legal car in the world. The Bugatti Veyron might seem a little less alluring since Katie Price bought one and sprayed it pink, but we’re sure Mansory won’t let her get her hands on one of these beauties.
2. W Motors Lykan Hypersport (£2.01m)
Most expensive cars in the world
It’s got a funny name, it’s one of the most expensive cars in the world, and has a price tag so ridiculous you’d have to be swimming in money to buy one. The Lykan Hypersport comes from Lebanon (hand up who knew they were into making cars?), and it has lights covered in diamonds (real ones of course). If you’re looking for more than just pretty lights from a car, it will also do 245mph and 0-60 in 2.7 seconds.
1. Lamborghini Veneno Roadster (£3.3m)
Most expensive cars in the world
And here we have it – the title of the most expensive car in the world goes to the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster. At an eye-watering £3.3million, any buyer should be expecting a lot from this supercar, but don’t hope to keep your eardrums intact.
The roadster follows in the footsteps of the hard top version (of which only three were made), and to be quite honest, it looks like it could take off at any moment. You’re going to have to be pretty ballsy to get in the driving seat of one – the name is Spanish for ‘poison’, you know.
I’m off to see if anyone in my family has one the lottery.
Your fearless mechanic,
Phil
