10 Most Expensive Cars
1. Zenvo ST1
$1.2 Million
The Zenvo ST-1 is a high performance sports car. Its turbocharged and supercharged 6.8 liter
V8 engine generates 1,104 hp at 6,900 rpm and 1,050 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. The Zenvo ST1 car set a 0-100 km/h time of 3.0 seconds, with 0-200 km/h taking 8.9 seconds. The Zenvo ST-1 has a top speed of 233 mph. The ST-1 is made entirely by hand with the exception of a high performance, 5 axis CNC router. Zenvo claims that the ST-1 is entirely a Danish design, created by Christian Brandt and Jesper Hermann. The body is made of carbon fiber and was constructed in Germany, while many of the other components come from German or American made cars.

2. Ferrari LaFerrari
$1.4 million
While it may have a silly name, the Ferrari LaFerrari is gearing to
become the king of exotic sports cars. Clocking in at $1.4 million
dollars, it certainly costs a pretty penny. The LaFerrari is powered by a
950 horsepower hybrid engine. The V12 outputs 789 horsepower and gets
the additional 161 of its horsepower from an electric motor. With a 0-60
mph time of 2.5 seconds and a 0-150 mph time of 9.8 seconds, the
LaFerrari is no slouch, beating the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 by 1.5 seconds. A
very low center of gravity and light steering allows the LaFerrari to
navigate high speed turns with grace, although with that price tag you
may not want to fly around corners for fear of destroying your
investment
3. Pagani Huayra
$1.4 million
The Pagani Huayra is a 720 horsepower, mid-engined, million dollar
supercar. The 6 liter twin-turbo V-12 engine gets the Pagani Huayra to a
top speed of 230 mph. The vehicle has motorized body surfaces that
constantly lift and tuck lift an F-16’s flaperons with the goal of
reducing body roll and stopping distances. The flaps on the Huayra’s
upper body are designed to act like wing ailerons. Above 50 mph, all
four lift 10 degrees to increase downforce. When the driver turns the
wheel, the flaps on the inboard side rise to 20 degrees to counteract
body roll. Under braking, all four lift to 40 degrees to act as air
brakes. The cockpit looks like something from a spaceship, with
bionic-Bauhaus sculptures in cut aluminium
4. Aston Martin One-77
$1.4 million
The Aston Martin One-77 was a limited production supercar built by
Aston Martin. There were only 77 produced from 2009-2012, which is why
it was named One-77. The One-77 features a full carbon fibre monocoque
chassis, a handcrafted aluminium body, and a naturally aspirated 7.3
liter V12 engine with 750 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. The car uses a
strengthened version of the DB9’s 6-speed automated manual transmission
and height-adjustable pushrod suspension coupled with dynamic stability
control. Top speed of the One-77 was clocked at 220 mph and it has a
zero to sixty time of 3.5 seconds. Carbon Ceramic Matrix brakes are used
to to increase braking power, so the car can safely decelerate from
high speeds
5. Ferrari F60 America
$2.5 Milion
To celebrate their 60th anniversary, Ferrari created the Ferrari F60
America. Based on the F12 Berlinetta, the Ferrari F60 America is
modified to suit what Ferrari felt Americans would want. The vehicle
exterior is blue with white racing stripes, and the interior is clad in
red leather and red accents. There is no roof, because who doesn’t love a
convertible? The V12 engine produces 730 horsepower and can go from
zero to sixty in 3.1 seconds. The price tag of the Ferrari F60 America
was $2.5 million, 8 times the $320,000 price tag of the F12 Berlinetta–
and all ten of them were sold before Ferrari even unveiled the vehicle.
The only thing that would make this car more American would be replacing
the standard Ferrari emblem with a bald eagle.
6. Koenigsegg One:1
$2.8 million
With a Price tag of $2.8 million dollars, the Koenigsegg One:1 is
built for one purpose: speed. Its name, meant to be pronounced as “one
to one,” refers to the car’s metric power output of 1 megawatt (1341
horsepower when fueled by a E85 alcohol-gasoline blend) and its
perfectly balanced power-to-metric weight ratio. The interior trim is
minimal but covered in carbon, the seats have a six point harness to
keep you firmly affixed while driving, the speedometer reaches 280 mph,
and a power gauge shows how much horsepower the engine is producing.
Speaking of engines, the One:1’s engine is a 5.1 liter twin turbo V-8
that produces 1341 horsepower and 738 foot pounds of torque ( 1161
horsepower if using regular gasoline).
7. Mansory Vivere Bugatti Veyron
$3.4 million
The Mansory Vivere Bugatti Veyron is a modified Bugatti Veyron Grand
Sport Vitesse. The vehicle is upgraded by Mansory, and all of the
changes are to the aesthetic look of the vehicle. The exterior of the
Vivere is covered in a superbly lacquered carbon fiber. Other changes
include a new inner front grill, shortened hood, larger side scoops, a
spoiler package that provides new diffusers, front apron, and new rims.
The headlights and taillights are upgraded with LEDs as well. The
interior is re-upholstered and covered in carbon fiber, and an LED
lighting system illuminates the cockpit. The engine is left unchanged,
but considering it’s an 8.0 liter W16, capable of producing 1,200
horsepower and 1,106 lb-ft of torque, I don’t think it needs any changes
8. W Motors Lykan Hypersport
$3.4 million
Produced by W Motors, the Lykan Hypersport is the first supercar to
be produced in the Middle East. At $3.4 million dollars, it is the third
most expensive car ever made behind the Lamborghini Veneno ($4.5
million) and the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita ( $4.8 million). With only 7
expected to be produced, the Hypersport is also among the rarest.
Housing a 3.7L flat six motor with an estimated 750 horsepower that can
go a top speed of 239mph, the Hypersport certainly brings power and
speed to the table, but it’s the added options that bring up the price
tag. Options like diamonds, rubies, yellow diamonds, and sapphires
integrated into the headlights, which are made up of titanium LED blades
containing 420 diamonds, or the leather interior featuring gold
stitching. Each unit sold also comes with a special edition Cyprus
Klepcys watch worth over $200,000 so you can wear a piece of your car
wherever you go. A Lykan Hypersport was featured in the most recent Fast and the Furious film.
9. Lamborghini Veneno
$4.5 million
In celebration of Lamborghini’s 50th birthday, the company created
the ultra-expensive and exclusive Veneno. Named after one of the
strongest and most aggressive fighting bulls ever, the Veneno is powered
by a 6.5 liter V12 that produces 740 horsepower. Only 5 were ever made,
2 for the company and 3 for customers. One of the Venenos, with red
accents, went to Antoine Dominic, owner of Lamborghini Long Island. The
second, with green accents, went to Kris Singh, a car collector from
florida. The third, accented in white, went to an unknown customer in
Macau. The Veneno retailed for $4.5 million dollars, and all the
customers purchased them sight unseen, only being given artist’s
renderings of the vehicle. The original production Veneno, dubbed “car
zero” resides in the Lamborghini museum.
10. Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita
$4.8 million
The Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita is a limited edition of the Koenigsegg
CCXR, featuring a diamond weave carbon fiber finish. This is a new and
unique method to manufacture carbon fiber. Using this method Koenigsegg
was able to coat the fibers with a diamond finish. Three were planned to
be produced, but because of the complexity to make the special white
carbon fiber, only two were ever made, making it one of the rarest
vehicles produced by Koenigsegg. Both cars featured the Koenigsegg
Shimmering Diamond Weave bodywork, double carbon rear wing, inconel
exhaust system, carbon ceramic brakes with ABS, airbags, paddle-shift,
chrono instrument cluster, infotainment system, tire monitoring system,
and a hydraulic lifting system. Floyd Mayweather and a man in Geneva
each own one of the Trevitas
