Top 10 most expensive cars in the world
Fast and fabulously expensive supercars display a status symbol for their owner. The desire of a person to show everyone around his security sometimes leads to the fact that special. unique cars are created on the order, which have no analogues in the whole world.
In our article we will tell you about the ten most expensive cars today.
Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
Our rating opens with a supercar, which was presented in 2010 in one of the Parisian car dealerships. “Sesto Elemento” is the “sixth element” in Italian. It is not surprising that the car was given such a name, because in addition to its excellent technical characteristics and aggressive appearance, it has one very important innovation.
The secret of this Lamborghini is that its total weight has been reduced to 999 kg. And the engineers of the company were able to achieve this due to the fact that some of the parts were made from hydrocarbon fibers. And of course, for $ 2.3 million, the car came out excellent. Its maximum acceleration speed is 315 km / h. To “hundred parts” Sesto Elemento accelerates in 2.5 seconds.
In total, the Italian concern manufactured 20 machines of this model. It is important to note that they are not approved for use on urban roads.
Zenvo ST1
The ST1 is the first and so far the only supercar model from the Danish company Zenvo, whose cost has crossed the $ 1.8 million mark. This beauty accelerates to 100 km / h in just 3 seconds and has a top speed of 370 km / h. The car is equipped with a turbocharging “Corvette” and a V-shaped 8-cylinder engine of 6.8 liters.
In truth, experts are skeptical about this car. Whatever one may say, but the Danes do not have enough experience in matters related to the production of cars of such a specific class as supercars. It is believed that for this money it would be more profitable to purchase something more familiar.
Lamborghini Veneno
On its 50th anniversary in 2013, Lamborghini launched three of its most expensive supercars in the company’s history, the Veneno. The cost of one car is $ 4.6 million. All three premiere copies were sold out long before the world saw them.
The heart of the supercar is a 6.5-liter 12-cylinder V-engine. The working power is 740 hp.
Bugatti Veyron Super Sports
This hypercar is the fastest car in the world, which was released not as a single copy, but as a whole series. The maximum acceleration speed is 435 km / h. It gains the first 100 km / h in 2.5 seconds. Under the hood of this beast is an 8.0 L 16-valve engine. with a capacity of 1200 horses.
The Veyron Super Sports series was produced for 10 years, until 2014. The cost of one supercar today is about 2.4 million dollars. Interesting fact: this car was entered in the Guinness Book of Records.
Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita
There are no analogues to this hypercar in the whole world. Its secret is that the car body is made of unique carbon fiber. Sunlight falling on it is reflected in such a way that the car begins to shine with a scattering of diamonds.
Of course, the technical characteristics of this piece of automotive art do not lag behind the appearance. Trevita accelerates to “hundreds” in 2.9 seconds. 1018 hp engine has a V-shape, 8 cylinders and a volume of 4.8 liters. The maximum acceleration speed is 415 km / h. The $ 4.8 million price tag for the exclusive supercar seems to be justified.
Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster
Did you know that Pagani was founded by one of the engineers who previously worked for Lamborghini? Three supercars of this relatively small company made a huge contribution to the development of the automotive industry around the world. But today we’re talking about the most expensive Zonda Cinque Roadster they’ve ever made. By special only five supercars of this model were created for the order. The cost of each is $ 1.85 million. This car accelerates to a maximum of 385 km / h, 200 of which gains in just 9.4 seconds. Interesting fact: one of the current Formula 1 pilots took part in the design of this supercar.
LaFerrari FXX K
The newest car is the brainchild of Flavio Manzoni, chief engineer of the world famous car manufacturer Ferrari. Each car planned for release has already been sold on pre-orders to different parts of the world. This is not surprising, because 40 cars will be produced in total. It is worth noting that this is by far the most expensive car that Ferrari has produced. Its cost is $ 2.7 million.
Under the hood of these “Italian stallions” is equipped with a V-shaped 12-cylinder 6.3 liter engine. and 1035 hp. The maximum car can accelerate to 350 km / h, and “weaving” is gaining in 3 seconds. An important detail: the “K” prefix indicates that the KERS system is installed on the hypercar. Thanks to it, the kinetic energy that occurs when the vehicle is braking allows it to work more efficiently.
Maybach exelero
This supercar is the most expensive in the whole world at the moment. He, whatever one may say, is a real masterpiece of the German automotive industry. The Exelero was designed 16 years ago to test a new generation of tires. Its maximum acceleration speed is 350 km / h. The total weight of the car is 2660 kg. But despite its massiveness, it “takes off” up to 100 km / h in just 4.4 seconds. The Maybach Exelero combines not only high-speed performance and the power of the most “thoroughbred” cars from around the world, but also outrageously indecent extravagance of the best limousines. The cost of an unrivaled car is $ 8 million.
Lamborghini Reventon
The presentation of the luxurious supercar took place 14 years ago during one of the Frankfurt motor shows. Presenting their brainchild to the general public, the manufacturers have repeatedly mentioned that the image of the world’s fastest aircraft pushed them to such an external stylistic decision of the new model. And it is not surprising, because this car accelerates to 100 km / h in just 3.4 seconds.
In total, 21 sports cars were manufactured: 1 for the manufacturer’s museum and 20 for sale to private individuals. The supercar is a so-called mid-engined car, but nevertheless entered the top 10 most expensive cars on the planet. The maximum acceleration speed of the Reventon is 342 km / h, and the cost is equal to $ 2 million.
Lykan hypersport
Nine years ago, the W Motors company appeared in the Arab Emirates. Her profile was the creation of supercars. It includes ingenious motoring engineers who previously worked in Lebanon, France and Italy. Lykan Hypersport, the company’s firstborn, can be seen in Fast and Furious 7.
It would seem, why is there such a high price tag for this car? And he, by the way, is 3.4 million dollars. Yes, undoubtedly in 2.8 seconds. Lykan accelerates to 100 km / h, and the maximum driving speed is 380 km / h. And the engine on it is a V6 of 3.7 liters. turbocharged. But the most important secret of the high cost lies in the design of the car.
Produced in the east, the supercar simply couldn’t stay low-key. There are diamonds in the headlights of the car, a holographic display is installed on the center console, and the seats, of course, are made of the finest leather and stitched with gold threads. Now it becomes clear why these cars will not be supplied to Europe and the USA.
