No amount of corner-cutting and rummaging down the back of the sofa for loose change will help you here, when it come sto the most expensive cars in the world. The most expensive car produced in the world today is the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail at $28 million, which is rumored to be owned by Jay Z and Beyonce (according to The Daily Telegraph). Show
Is the super expensive car market solely focused on fast cars alone? Not by a long way. Head over to the luxury car segment, and if you have enough cash, diamond-encrusted interiors adorn the interiors of Rolls-Royce's finest. Even then, bespoke trims are nothing compared to the Flying Lady's rarest cars. UPDATE: 2023/11/24 16:52 EST BY MARTIN PETERHotCars analyzed the most expensive cars still in production today and their starting MSRPs. The following models were ranked in order from least to most expensive. Related 10 Most Expensive Cars Owned By CelebritiesFrom the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail to the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, these are some of the most exclusive cars sitting in celebrity collections. 20 2022 Rimac Nevera: $2.1 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 4 liquid-cooled permanent magnet synchronous electric motors Horsepower 1,914 hp Torque 1,726 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 1.74 seconds The 2022 Nevera Goes From 0-60 MPH In 1.74 SecondsUnless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard about the Rimac Nevera — arguably the first production EV worthy of the ‘supercar’ title. The Nevera made history a few months ago when it secured 23 independently verified speed records, including the fastest 0-60 mph ever recorded by a production car at an incredible 1.74 seconds. The Nevera owes its face-bending acceleration to a quad-motor system generating an insane 1,886 hp, with one motor placed at each wheel. It's no surprise it tops the list of the fastest-accelerating EVs on the market. 19 2023 Ferrari Daytona SP3: $2.2 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 6.5-liter V12 Horsepower 829 hp Torque 514 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.7 seconds The 2023 Daytona SP3 Has A Naturally Aspirated V12 EngineThe Ferrari Icona series has given us various gems over the last decade or so. This series aims to produce cars that merge retro-inspired designs and modern technologies, and the new Daytona SP3 is a perfect example of that. Ferrari unveiled the Daytona SP3 a few years ago as a tribute to their 1967 Daytona win, and it's been a huge hit. The Daytona SP3 has styling elements inspired by the iconic Ferrari 330 P4 race car of the '60s, which means it's an instant head-turner. It gets even better, as the Daytona SP3 has a mid-mounted 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 that generates 829 hp and sounds glorious while at it. 18 2023 Pagani Utopia: $2.5 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 6.0-liter Mercedes-AMG twin-turbo V12 Horsepower 852 hp Torque 811 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.6 seconds(est) The 2023 Utopia Has A Seven-Speed Manual TransmissionThe Huayra has been a great servant for Pagani since it replaced the Zonda over a decade ago, but now it's time for it to go. Thankfully, there's a new sheriff in town in the form of the Italian marque's new flagship supercar — the Utopia. The Utopia's predecessor left behind huge shoes to fill, and the Pagani supercar does that perfectly. It has a drop-dead-gorgeous design that makes it look right at home alongside the automaker's other models, an over-the-top interior, and a Mercedes-AMG-sourced twin-turbo V12 powertrain making 852 ponies. There's even a seven-speed manual transmission for the purists to enjoy. 17 2022 Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4: $2.6 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 6.5-liter V12+48-volt e-motor Horsepower 803 hp Torque 531 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.7 seconds The 2022 Countach LPI 800-4 Is An Icon RebornFor Lamborghini fans, the Countach is a name that holds a lot of historical significance. The original Countach debuted in the '70s and set the supercar world on fire thanks to its futuristic wedge-shaped design and powerful V12 engine. This design language and V12 power combo was such a hit that it has influenced every Lamborghini flagship sports car since. 50 years after the original Countach debuted, Lamborghini decided to honor it with a special version of the Aventador known as the Countach LPI 800-4. The new Lamborghini Countach uses the same 803-hp hybridized V12 powertrain as the 2019 Sian FKP 37 and has styling elements inspired by the original Countach.

However, that wasn't the case a few years ago, as Mercedes-Benz was on top with the legendary Lewis Hamilton behind the wheel. To celebrate multiple championships, Mercedes-Benz decided to build a special hybrid supercar with various F1-inspired technologies, resulting in the Mercedes-AMG One. The Mercedes-AMG One is a testament to how far hybrids have come. It uses a complex hybrid V6 drivetrain that produces a combined 1,049 hp, allowing it to be one of the fastest hybrids ever made with a 219-mph top speed. 15 2023 Gordon Murray Automotive T.50: $3 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 4.0-liter Cosworth GMA V12 Horsepower 661 hp Torque 353 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.7 seconds The 2023 T.50 Is The McLaren F1 ReincarnatedTo many gearheads, Gordon Murray is an icon who has helped shape the supercar industry. Murray is best known for conceptualizing and co-designing the McLaren F1 in the '90s, which is considered one of the greatest British sports cars ever made. Like most other visionaries, Gordon Murray always wanted to build supercars under his own brand, so he established Gordon Murray Automotive in 2017 to do just that. The first GMA model is the T.50, and it shows the automaker means business. Looking at the T.50, it's pretty obvious that it draws a lot of inspiration from the McLaren F1. It has a similar design featuring butterfly doors, a central driving position, and a naturally aspirated V12 engine. 14 2023 Koenigsegg Jesko: $3 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 Horsepower 1,280 hp Torque 738 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.5 seconds The 2023 Jesko Has A Nine-Speed Multi-Clutch GearboxIn 2017, the Koenigsegg Agera RS set the production car speed record when it hit a top speed of 277.87 mph. The SSC Tuatara attempted to break the record in 2022 when it hit a top speed of 295 mph (though still came short of the land speed record). Koenigsegg wants to beat the record of its Agera RS, which is why it built the Jesko Absolut to go after the top speed production car record. The Jesko uses an upgraded version of the Agera's 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 mated to an in-house developed nine-speed multi-clutch gearbox known as the ‘Light Speed Transmission’. There will be two versions of the Jesko - the Attack and the Absolut - with the Absolut having crazy theoretical top speeds of up to 350 mph. 13 2023 Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster: $3 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 6.0-liter Fury twin-turbocharged V8 Horsepower 1,817 hp Torque 1,193 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.5 Seconds The 2023 Venom F5 Roadster Makes 1,817 HPHennessey is a renowned tuning company that has been building great performance cars, including some wild and ridiculous custom cars that celebrities love to drive. In 2017, Hennessey decided to start building its own cars from the ground up, and just four short years later, its dream was realized in the form of the Hennessey Venom F5. The Venom F5 was Hennessey's first proprietary vehicle, but it's impossible to tell just by looking at it. That's because the Venom F5 has a superb design that makes it look right at home next to the Paganis, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris of this world. The Venom F5 is also one of the most powerful cars in the world as it makes 1,817 hp from a bespoke 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8. 12 2021 Aston Martin Valkyrie: $3.2 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 6.5-liter Aston Martin-Cosworth naturally-aspirated V12 Horsepower 1,139 hp Torque 682 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.5 seconds The 2021 Valkyrie Uses F1-Inspired KERS SystemsAt the "cheaper" end of today's most expensive cars comes the Aston Martin Valkyrie. In recent times, the UK carmaker has unveiled several high-performance machines. None yet are quite as focused as this one. Under the composite body is a hybrid-assisted Cosworth V12 engine, kicking out a combined 1,139 hp. The Aston Martin Valkyrie's engine is best described as an engineering marvel. But it's the bits tucked out of sight that make the Valkyrie so special. Go-faster F1 KERS systems add to the drivability and explosive performance. All these elements combine to make the Valkyrie one of the fastest cars ever. 11 2014 W Motors Lykan HyperSport: $3.4 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 3.7 L twin-turbocharged flat-6 Horsepower 740 hp Torque 708 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.9 Seconds The 2014 Lykam Hypersport Has Diamond-Encrusted HeadlightsFast and Furious? More like the fastest and, for a time, the most expensive production car. The HyperSport's reputation for speed is well deserved, with a claimed 245 mph top speed. That stunning performance comes courtesy of a Ruf Porsche engine cranking out 740 hp. For more than $3 million, you also get other upscale features like diamond-encrusted headlights, gold stitching on the seats, and more. Despite being a relatively unknown brand, W Motors perfectly judged the market, combining performance with exclusivity. Just seven Hypersports exist, making it one of the rarest cars featured in the Fast and Furious movies. Many gearheads think the Lykan is of Middle Eastern origins. But in reality, the Hypersport is an international affair. Both the engine and body come from Germany, all coming together for final assembly in Italy. 10 2023 McLaren Solus GT: $3.5 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 Horsepower 829 hp Torque 479 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.5 seconds The 2023 Solus GT Has Venturi Tunnels Integrated In The FloorHave you ever dreamed of owning a race car? Well, look no further than the McLaren Solus GT, as it's a real-life GranTurismo car. The Solus GT promises to deliver F1 levels of speed and grip for a cool $3.5 million asking price, featuring cool features like floor-integrated Venturi tunnels, a large front splitter, and a twin-element fixed rear spoiler. A bargain compared to the insane figures F1 racing costs. So, what's the catch? Well, there are a few. The Solus GT is a single-seater, removing the chance to scare passengers witless using the 5.2-liter V10 engine's 829 hp. Perhaps the biggest drawback is the car's road legal status. Buying one of these requires access to a track whenever you're in the mood for some adrenaline-pumping action. Possibly with deeper pockets and a trip to McLaren's MSO division, someone might come up with a fix. Related 10 Most Expensive Cars Ever Sold By Popular Car BrandsHere's what happens when popular brands decide to prove a point by producing the most extraordinarily lavish car they possibly can. 9 2024 Koenigsegg CC850: $3.65 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 Horsepower 1,189 / 1,366 hp Torque 1,022 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.7 seconds The 2024 CC850 Makes 1,366 Horsepower On E85 FuelBuild it, and buyers will flock in their droves to splash out $3.65 million. Koenigsegg designed the CC850 hypercar as a birthday gift to owner Christian Von Koenigsegg limiting numbers to 50 cars. But, demand for the fast Swede outstripped supply, encouraging Koenigsegg to extend production. Call us cynics, but we suspect the extra $70 million in revenues might have played a part. More than just a self-indulgent birthday gift, the CC850 is set to be the fastest track car with a manual transmission. When speaking to CNET about the CC850, Christian Von Koenigsegg claimed that the manual transmission creates a level of excitement that makes drivers want to drive it more. Borrowing the twin-turbocharged V8 from the Jesko, the CC850 is super powerful. Buyers with access to E85 get the full 1,366 hp versus 1,189 hp on regular pump gas. Either way, the CC850 is on target for a top speed beyond 280 mph. 8 2020 Lamborghini Sian FKP-37: $3.7 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 6.5 L L539 V12+48-volt e-motor Horsepower 808 hp Torque 531 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.8 seconds The 2020 Sian FKP-37 Was The First Hybrid LamborghiniUnveiled in 2020, the Sian is undoubtedly one of the craziest special edition Lamborghinis of the last decade. The Sian made history when it became Lamborghini's first hybrid model ever, showing the company's commitment to a more eco-friendly future. The Sian was based on the Aventador but had several modifications to set it apart, such as Y-shaped headlights inspired by the Terzo Millennio concept. The Sian uses the same 6.5-liter V12 as the Aventador SVJ but has an electric motor that boosts output to 808 hp. With only 82 examples built, it's no surprise that the Sian costs almost $4 million. 7 2019 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+: $3.9 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 Horsepower 1,580 hp Torque 1,180 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.4 seconds The 2019 Chiron SuperSport 300+ Can Reach A 304 MPH Top SpeedNo list featuring expensive cars in the world would be complete without a Bugatti, and any of the Chiron models qualify. The Chiron has been a great servant for Bugatti ever since it replaced the fabled Veyron in 2016. It looks better than the Veyron and uses a quad-turbocharged W16 engine that produces over 1,500 hp. Of all the Chiron models you can buy, the 2019 Super Sport 300+ is arguably the best especially if you value speed over everything else. As the name suggests, the Chiron Super Sport 300+ is the only car in the world that can go past 300 mph, a feat Bugatti claims it achieved with a pre-production model in 2019. 6 2013 Lamborghini Veneno Roadster: $4.5 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 6.5-liter V12 Horsepower 740 hp Torque 509 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.9 seconds The 2014 Veneno Roadster Produces 740 HPThe raging bull badge has adorned some of the fastest and most expensive road cars in the past 60 years. Like every other supercar maker, the more outrageous and exclusive, the higher the sticker price. Launched in 2013, the Veneno is no exception, first appearing as a coupe and then as a roadster. Oddly for Lamborghini, the follow-up roadster exists in larger numbers. Not that thirteen cars (four coupes and nine roadsters) are plentiful. As for pricing? $4 million is all you need to join the Veneno club. Crazily, the Veneno is essentially a redressed Aventador with more slats and grilles added on for good measure. Our favorite feature of the Lamborghini Veneno though, is a 6.5-liter V12 delivering 740 hp of naturally aspirated goodness. 5 2021 SP Automotive Chaos Earth Edition: $6.4 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 4.0-liter twin-turbo V10 Horsepower 2,048 hp (Earth Edition) Torque 1,024 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 1.9 seconds The 2021 Chaos Earth Edition Has A Sub-2-Second 0-60 MPH TimeThe world's first ultracar? Maybe. Despite the self-proclaimed niche title, SP Automotive Chaos certainly lives up to its name. More so if you opt for the range-topping model with an incredible, 3,065 hp from a 4-liter turbocharged V10. Naturally, the more power you crave, the deeper your pockets need to be. Listed for $6.4 million for the base model, prices stretch to an eye-watering $14.4 million. The question you should be asking yourself is, do I really need 3,000+ hp? After all, there is only so much grip the sticky rear tires can handle. And if grip wasn't an issue, surely a 0-60 mph time of 1.9 seconds should get your pulse racing. Just in case you're wondering, the Chaos Gravity Edition reduces this figure to 1.55 seconds. 4 2022 Pagani Huayra Codalunga: $7.4 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 6.0-liter Mercedes-AMG twin-turbo V12 Horsepower 840 hp Torque 811 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.7 seconds The 202 Huayra Codalunga Is The Final Huayra ModelA worrying trend in Pagani's model lineup past and present is knowing when to end production. Starting with the Zonda, final edition after final edition emerged, accompanied by bigger prices. In 2022, Pagani was at it again, offering the new limited edition Codalunga as a final hurrah of the Huayra. Weirdly, for the Codalunga, Horacio Pagani paid homage to the Porsche 917. Squint a little and maybe you'll see the influences. Cosmetic changes aside, the $7.4 million asking price bags you the same turbocharged V12 as the Huayra. This means any performance gains are solely due to a more slippery shape rather than an increase on the 840 hp you got in the Huayra.

The Centodieci is a key part of Bugatti's story as it pays homage to the EB 110 of the '90s and is also a celebration of the marque's 110th birthday. The Centodieci shares its platform and monstrous quad-turbocharged W16 engine with the Chiron but has various exterior styling elements inspired by the EB 110, including five round air intakes resembling a diamond, a small horseshoe radiator grille, and narrow headlights with sharp grooves for a more aggressive look. With only 10 examples built, the Centodieci is among the rarest supercars on this list. 2 2019 Bugatti La Voiture Noire: $12.8 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 Horsepower 1,500 hp Torque 1,180 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 2.4 seconds The 2019 La Voiture Noire Is A One-Off MasterpieceIn a who's who line-up of expensive cars, there are several Bugatti candidates. Yet sitting at the top of the pile is the one-of-one, La Voiture Noire. Built to commemorate Bugatti's racing heritage, in particular, the Bugatti Type 57SC driven by Jean Bugatti. The new 'black car' debuted in 2019 with a list price of $12.8 million plus undisclosed taxes. Eagle-eyed gearheads will spot that the Le Voiture Noire is closely related to the Chiron. That close connection includes the chassis, drivetrain, and much of the bodywork. It's only the revised light clusters that set this apart from its cheaper siblings. Worse still, the W16 8-liter engine remains unchanged and cranks out 1,500 hp. 1 2021 Rolls-Royce Boat Tail: $28 MillionPerformance SpecsPowertrain 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 Horsepower 563 hp Torque 627 lb-ft 0-60 MPH 5.8 seconds The 2021 Boat Tail Has An Elegant Design Inspired By YachtsThe finest motor cars in the world were how Henry Rolls and Charles Royce promoted their first cars. Now more than a century later, and the brand has taken another step toward building the best car ever. Unveiled in 2021, the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is the stuff of dreams, with an asking price of $28 million. It's the most expensive car in 2023, and it proves why Rolls-Royce is more expensive than Bugatti. The question you have to ask yourself is, is it worth it? If exclusivity is your thing, then it's a resounding yes. Rolls-Royce produced just two examples. Justifying the asking price comes with the most luxuriously appointed convertible bodies ever and an elegant design inspired by classic yachts from the 1920s. You are unlikely to mistake the Boat Tail for anything else. Weighed down by acres of wood and leather, you would think speed was the last thing Rolls-Royce considered. But despite its bulk, thanks to a turbocharged V12, the Boat Tail reaches 60 mph in 5.8 seconds. It's not clear who owns the most expensive car in the world (though it's rumored Jay Z and Beyonce do, according to The Daily Telegraph), but they sure are lucky to enjoy the Boat Tail.

Why is the $100 million car so expensive?As the creator said himself, some may expect the car to be flying above buildings for that much. However, it was the historical value that added the dollars onto this motor, as it's the world's first Ferrari. It's so valuable, that the museum representative is the only person on Earth who's allowed to drive it. Who has the world's most expensive car?A 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé is the most expensive car ever sold, having gone under the hammer for a staggering $135m in 2022 - the equivalent of £114.4m. Previously owned by Mercedes-Benz, the car was sold by RM Sotheby's at the Mercedes-Benz Museum to an anonymous buyer. |
