The 5 most expensive cars in the world

Have you ever wondered how much was the most expensive cars? Or what are the most expensive cars? Those fascinating questions were stuck in my head every day for the past months. I then decided to make a listicle for you guys. So here is a top 5 of the most expensive cars in the world.

1. Number 5: Mercedes Benz Maybach Exelero ($8 million)

That is a wonderful car isn't it?

Despite its peculiar looks, it’s one hell of a high-performance four-seater sports car with V12 twin-turbo engine. It was commissioned by a German subsidiary of Goodyear, Fulda, to test their new Carat Exelero tire range. The Exelero featured in one of Jay-Z‘s music videos and was purchased by rapper Birdman according to Top Gear. It has an impressive top speed of 213 mph.

2. Number 4: Bugatti Centodieci ($9 million)

It’s clear to see a lot of thought has gone into Bugatti’s Centodieci model. The car pays homage to the Bugatti EB110 and is a celebration of the Bugatti marque’s 110th birthday. The Centodieci weighs 20kg less than the Chiron, and has an 8,000cc quad-turbocharged W16 engine, rated at 1,578hp. Production of the Centodieci will be limited to 10 units priced at 8 million euros ($9 million USD) each.

3. Number 3: Rolls Royce Sweptail ($13 Million)

Third place on our list of the most expensive cars is what can only be described as one stunning piece of handcrafted magic. A powerhouse of automotive design and engineering, the Rolls-Royce Sweptail is a one-off luxury peace made in the United Kingdom by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Commissioned in 2013 for a super-yacht and aircraft specialist, who’s identity Rolls-Royce does not divulge. The Sweptail made its debut as the most expensive new car in the world at the yearly Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este event in 2017. It surpassed all its rivals and remains one of the most expensive cars ever sold.

4. Number 2: Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta ($17 Million)

The Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta is the second most expensive car in the world. It adds on to the already incredible legacy of the Pagani Zonda, and features a rather unique look. The rear wheels are partially covered by carbon fiber, the wind-shield is smaller than usual, and the car itself is roofless. The Barchetta peaks at 789bhp with a top speed of 221mph. It is the fastest, and most powerful Zonda model ever produced.

It’s safe to say this car is a thing of beauty.

Although this is the second most expensive car on this list, it still has a ridiculous price tag of $17 million USD.

5. Number 1: Bugatti La Voiture Noire ($18.7 million)

The Bugatti La Voiture Noire is the most expensive car in the world.

It’s a part of Bugatti’s plans to build two custom cars every year. Only one Noire will be built, and it’s pretty sexy… we think. Though first mentioned in 2019, Bugatti said it needed another 2 and a half years to finish building the car. Boasting a top speed of 261mph, and 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds; that’s one hell of a rush. Bugatti have states that an Anonymous buyer has purchased the car at the $18.7 million price tag, which is after tax. Pre-tax, the car is worth around $12.4 million USD.

Conclusion

We hope you enjoyed the list of the most expensive cars in the world. That list is for sure stuck in your head for the next month. So many incredible cars and so expensive. That let us dream about having the chance of one day driving one or even better own one. For now, let's drive Lambos, Audis and McLarens. I really want to thank Matt McIntyre from Wealthy Gorilla, the source that helped us get all the information.
