Lamborghini, Bugatti, Aston Martin, Maybach….the most expensive cars in the world are as many specimens of automotive engineering as they are masterpieces of luxury. They are the fastest, and most innovative machines on the road.
Exotic, lightweight materials in the body, dashboards that copy fighter-jet cockpits, and leather from floor to ceiling are just a few of the standard bells and whistles one can expect when owning one of these meticulous pieces of auto art.
1. Lamborghini Veneno $4,500,000. The Veneno goes from 0 to 60 mph in a swift 2.8 seconds allowing you to hit a top speed of 221 mph. Only three cars are made available every year. If you want to own this hyper-supercar, you will have to be placed on a waiting list. Apart from the roofless design, the Veneno Roadster is virtually identical to the coupe, much in the same way that the Aventador, with which the Veneno shares its underpinnings, is much the same as the Aventador Roadster. Power comes from Lamborghini’s familiar 6.5-liter V-12, which in Veneno spec has been tuned to deliver 740 horsepower.
2. Bugatti Veyron Super Sports $2,400,000. By far the most expensive street-legal production car available on the market today (the base Veyron costs $1,700,000). Capable of reaching 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, the Veyron is the fastest street-legal car when tested again on July 10, 2010, with the 2010 Super Sport Version reaching a top speed of 267 mph (430 km/h). When competing against a Bugatti Veyron, you better be prepared!
3. Aston Martin One-77 $1,850,000. The name “One-77” says it all: beauty and power in One, limited to 77 units. With 750 hp, it is able to go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a maximum speed of 220 mph (354 km/h).
4. Lamborghini Reventon $1,600,000. The most powerful and the most expensive Lamborghini ever built takes third place on the list. It reaches 60 mph in 3.3 seconds from 0, to go with a top speed of 211 mph (339 km/h). Its rare (limited to 20) and slick design are reasons why it is expensive and costly to own.
5. Maybach Landaulet $1,380,000. The Landaulet is the most expensive sedan on the market and it can go from 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds. It is one the most luxurious cars ever made, this comes with a convertible roof that fully opens at the rear. This Maybach is made especially for CEOs and Executives who have their own personal drivers.
