The Most Expensive Cars in the World – A roundup

Dreams are always extravagant and should always be so, shouldn’t they? They provide with a goal, something worth living for. That’s exactly what these cars are for most of us, a dream as owning even any one of these would mean mortgaging everything else we own.
The thrill for high speed, the overwhelming engineering working in the background, the extensive detailing on the exteriors, the sharply designed headlights and massive engines is exactly why these cars are so expensive.

5)  Lamborghini Reventon ($ 1.61M)

Named after a Spanish fighting bull, it gets it design from the fighter jet Euro-fighter Typhoon and the mechanical from the Lamborghini’s LP640. The brutal V-12 engine offers a magnificent horsepower of 650, taking if from 0- 60 mph in just 3.3 sec. With only 20 such beasts ever made and the stealth like exterior this is Lamborghini’s most powerful & rarest car.

Sharing the fourth place are

4)  Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster ($1.8M)

This engineering marvel is made of Titanium and Carbon Fibre frame making it even lighter than a Mini Cooper. Expressing Italian’s love for carbon fibre and massive engines it features an AMG V12 engine which gives this beast an enormous horsepower of 678 and a top speed of 217 mph. It is one of world’s most exotic and rarest cars with only 5 of these ever built all of which are already spoken for.

Aston Martin One-77 ($1.8M)

Sharing the fourth spot with the Pagani Cinque is the British Supercar Aston Martin One-77. Some may remember this supercar from the game NFS Hot Pursuit. It comes packing a 7.3-liter V12 engine that ever so politely doles out 750 hp and 533 lb-ft. Top speed is clocked at 220 mph while a 0-60 sprint takes 3.4 seconds. The One-77 is the ultimate expression of the refined supercar with the looks to die for.

3)  Koenigsegg One ($ 2.4 million)

This supercar gets its name from the almost unobtainable one is to one weight ratio of one horsepower per kg. The One truly raises the bar of performance as it offers unique solutions to enhance track performance without compromising top speed or everyday usability with a stunning visual appearance to go with it. Inspired by the Agera R it also runs on E8 Biofuel making it fuel efficient.

2)  Bugatti Veyron Sport ($3.4 million)

The Super Sport is the fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a top speed of 267.856 mph. Characterized as “utterly, stunningly, mind blowingly, jaw droppingly brilliant.” By Jeremy Clarkson. The Veyron weighs a hulking 4,160 lbs, but even its harshest critics admit its handling is surprisingly sharp for it’s weight.The way this car dominates the track as well as the road is the reason it is place at such a high price.

W Motors Lykan Hypersport ($3.4 million)

With a mid-mounted, twin-turbo, 3.7-liter flat-six with a claimed 740 horsepower and 708 pound-feet of torque, the Hypersport doesn’t lack for power. W Motors didn’t just focus on performance, they have the tech madness and sheer excess side of hypersport covered. Those handsomely aggressive LED lights are covered in diamonds, and the information about how far over the speed limit you are going is conveyed by a holographic display. All this and those Lamborghini like looks is what puts this supercar on the second spot.

1)  Lamborghini Veneno ($4 million)

It is definitely not the most beautiful supercar but when it comes to raw performance there is none that can hold a candle. The name “Veneno” is Spanish for “venom” and boy it is perfect. Italian’s favourite V12 hammers out an amazing horsepower of 750 giving it an insane top speed of 355 km/h.
The elongated profile, long overhangs and massive rear wing and the light-weight frame made of carbon fibre reinforced polymer. The inside is equally impressive, featuring leather as well as Lamborghini-patented materials like ‘Forged Composite’ and ‘Carbon Skin’.

These super-cars may be a little expensive for someone’s budget but there’s nothing wrong in aspiring to someday own these beauties. Who knows what lies ahead of us, someday all our dreams may come true it’ll be a miracle for sure but as they say
“Miracles start to happen when you give as much energy to your dreams as you do to your fears”.
