In the present world, cars do more than just transportation. Cars are built to inspire awe. Rich individuals now order cars to be customized to their taste alone.

While the face of cars has changed over the past century, there have been instances where an automobile has had a ridiculously exhaustive price tag and makes you wonder what else these cars might be used for.

If you have ever wondered or got into an argument of what the most expensive cars in the world are, read on to find out the truth. We are unveiling the 20 most expensive cars in the world. We shall begin from the most to the least expensive.

20. The Porsche 918 Spyder – $929,000

This plug-in hybrid from Porsche proves that you don’t have to give up speed or style for going green(er) – this beauty of a beast goes 0-62 mph in 2.2 seconds! This is very near to the Tesla Model S, which is all electric – a nice feat for a hybrid! This was the most technologically advanced road car by Porsche at the time it was unveiled in 2013, and still is a good choice, if you can get your hands on a unit from the 918 that were made until May 2015.

19. The Rimac Concept One – $980,000

The outstanding Croatian supercar we see here, is a limited edition, fully electric concept car, with outstanding technical specifics, a total output of 913kW, and it goes from 0-62 mph in a matter of 2.5 seconds – TWO AND A HALF SECONDS which is the same as the Bugatti Veyron, for a more affordable price.

18. McLaren Senna – $1Million

This beauty is powered by a 4.0 L M840TR twin-turbocharged V8 engine and its cost comes nowhere close to the emotional value of the car – created to honor the late Ayrton Senna, the F1 driver who earned the McLaren racing team four consecutive Formula One World Championship titles between 1988 and 1993. His career was abruptly ended in 1994, on the San Marino racetrack, when he suffered a horrible crash – circumstances are disputed to this day.

17. Aston Martin one-77 – $1.1Million

This car is a V12 engine with a 7.8-liter tank and produces about 750horsepower. If you must know, this is the fastest Aston Martin in the world! It can easily go from 0- 60mph in just 3.5 seconds!

16. Hennessey Venom GT – $1.2 Million

This high performance car is another rare find, as 7 coupés and 6 spyders were ever made of this model, between 2011 and 2017. It was based on the Lotus Elise/Exige and is the product of Hennessey Performance Engineering, based in Texas, USA. It set the Guiness World Record in 2013, for the fastest road legal car – going from 0-186 mph in 13.63 seconds (average acceleration time).

15. Zenvo ST1 – $1.2 million

At 3/4 of our list is the ST1 that goes for a whopping $1.2 million. This car qualifies more like a road beast with its 1,104 horsepower from a V8 super and turbo-charged 6.8-liter tank engine. Say little about the 1,054 lb-ft of torque just at the car’s rear wheels!

14. Ferrari LaFerrari – $1.4 million

It’s not a dragon. It just looks that way. This car weighs just 2800 pounds and accelerates from zero to 60mph in a little below 3 seconds and can even accelerate to 124mph in less than 7 seconds! With all this performance comes the impeccable style Ferrari delivers.

13. Pagani Huayra – $1.4 million

Although the name might sound odd, the Huayra is a popular car with very high performance. The engine is a V12 6.0 liter with twin turbochargers that exudes a whopping 620 horsepowers and it costs as much as $1.4 million.

12. Koenigsegg One – $2 million

Paying $2 million for just a car is considered ridiculous but yes, you only have to pay $2 million to get this Koenigsegg one. The Koenigsegg one is the pride of Sweden and despite costing so much, the mega car’s capabilities might make that price tag look cheap.

11. Koenigsegg Regera – $2Million

This Swedish-made plug-in hybrid combines the feel of electric cars and combustion engine cars – it is most revered for the Direct Drive system’s unique feel, and generally praised as being state-of-the art levels of beautiful. The customizable driving experience – fine-tuning the power delivery and transmission feel to your needs – signals the arrival of the new generation of cars, before self-driving models take over.

10. Ferrari F60 America – $2.5 million

For $2.5 million, this V12 6.2-liter engine that produces a decent 740 horsepower can be yours for keeps. This car can go from 0 – 60mph in just 3 seconds! The car’s flag-waver reminds us of the past years where Ferrari had monopolized the top spot in sports car production.

9. Aston Martin Valkyrie $2.6Million

Codenamed AM-RB 001 and Nebula is a hybrid electric sports car, born out of the collaboration of Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin, a renowned British automobile manufacturer, with the help of several other companies. Their goal was to develop a race car for the tracks, that is perfectly suitable for road use as well. Its main competitor is the Mercedes-AMG One. Priced at $2.6Million at the 2019 release.

8. Mansory Vivere Bugatti Veyron – $3.4 million

The Bugatti Veyron series doesn’t only represent as one of the fastest cars in the world, it is also one of the most expensive automobiles that money can buy with a price tag of $3.4 million no wonder football star Cristiano Ronaldo developed a liking for it.

7. W Motors Lykan Hypersport – $3.5 million

Not many cars cost as much as $3.5 million. The Lykan Hypersort is just one of them. The Lebanese car became much more popular after it was used in the blockbuster Fast and Furious 7 where it crashed through a number of skyscrapers. This supercar might just be worth every dime of its ridiculous price tag.

6. Lamborghini Veneno – $4.5 million

This road beast costs a whopping $4.5 million! One look at this car and you will think it is one of the alien machines collecting data from our world and sending to their database. From the frame to the finishing, the Veneno looks, feels and definitely is expensive.

5. Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita – $4.8 million

The Koenigsegg CCXR might not be everyone’s dream car because of its ridiculous $4.8 million price tag!

Beautiful on the outside with a double supercharged V-8 engine and a 4.8liter tank, this car manages a whopping 1004 horsepower and overtaking other cars shouldn’t be an issue. However, this is a limited edition as only three were made.

4. Mercedes-Benz Maybach Exelero – $8 Million

Arriving at single-digit millions, the Maybach Exelero costs $8 Million, and it was commissioned in 2005 by the German subsidiary of Goodyear, called Fulda, to test their new tire range, the Carat Exelero, along with the Gemballa Extremo, that joined the company’s fleet in 1996. The initial design was based on the Maybach SW 38 and built on the Maybach 57’s platform. The main goal was to have a beautiful monster of a car that could reach 217 mph to test the physical limitations of the tires.

3. Lamborghini Terzo Millennio – $Secret

This ultra-modern car isn’t a figment of a Sci-Fi writer’s imagination – the Lamborghini Terzo Millenio is truly a self healing electric car – currently available as preorder, with no public price tag, but estimates are high, considering it was developed in a £100,000,000 partnership with MIT, as the first product released in the 3 year programme. The body is made of carbon fiber composite, complete with nano-tubes, that fill up any cracks and injuries that are detected by the car’s intricate sensors.

2. Rolls Royce Sweptail – $12.8 Million

Dethroned by the next item on the list, this Rolls Royce has been the previous most expensive car since 2013 – partly owing to the Coachbuild method that took after classic coaches of the 1920s and 1930s that were hand-built and customized to the future owner’s request – at $12.8 Million this ride emanates luxury. Rolls Royce has been the symbol of luxury cars for decades now, and this one of a kind model, commissioned by a super-yacht specialist, who himself is an expert on design and luxury, is truly a work of art, as described by the director of design: “the automotive equivalent of Haute couture”.

1. Bugatti La Voiture Noire – $19 million

With the hefty price tag of $19 million, the Bugatti La Voiture Noire took over the title of current most expensive car in 2019 from the Rolls Royce Sweptail. It is heir to the ideals of the Type 57 SC Atlantic, and it’s based on the Chiron. Made of carbon fiber, equipped with LED taillight strips, unique wing mirrors, masked A-pillars and a floating windshield, it’s elongated rear section and nose all contribute to an elegant design, timeless as it’s precedessors.
