The thrill of driving the most expensive cars in the world is a pleasure available to a very narrow circle of people. However, the excitement can already be experienced from the look of these contemporary works of art, whether live or in photography.
Some of them cannot be bought, even if you are an oligarch who lights cigarettes from hundreds of dollar bills. An example is the Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio, a luxury supercar that was offered only to customers selected by Ferrari.
In our ranking we have collected The 10 most expensive cars in the world in 2019. The cost in Russian currency is indicated at the exchange rate at the time of writing.
10. Aston Martin Valkyrie - $ 3,200,000
Price in rubles: 212,258,880 rubles.
Valkyrie is Aston Martin's first hypercar, and the company has made every effort to make its creation magnificent. It is planned to release 150 cars, but all of them are sold out in advance. The claimed price of $ 3.2 million includes delivery of cars starting in 2019.
Valkyrie is not just one of the most expensive cars in the world. This is a combination of the experience of Formula 1 Red Bull with the legacy of Aston Martin, which allowed us to create a sensational car demonstrating excellent characteristics on the road. It has an ideal power to weight ratio of 1: 1.
The tremendous power of 1,130 horsepower is provided by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine, which works in conjunction with an electric motor to provide additional acceleration and torque.
All hypercar owners will be provided with an individual training program (normal fitness and driving training on tracks), as well as access to the Formula 1 racing simulator.
9. Lykan Hypersport - $ 3,400,000
Price in rubles: 225 525 060 rub.
Manufactured by Lebanese automaker W Motors, Lykan Hypersport is a limited-edition sports car. In total there are 7 copies in the world, each of which boasts gold-embroidered seats and headlights, inlaid with diamonds.
A twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter engine allows this powerful iron beast to accelerate to 100 km / h in 2.8 seconds. For comparison: the fastest motorcycle in the world accelerates to hundreds of km / h in 1.75 - 2.5 seconds.
8. Lamborghini Sesto Elemento - $ 4,500,000
Price in rubles: 298,489,050 rubles.
This car has an extremely lightweight design and its curb weight is only 999 kg. The name Sesto Elemento is a reference to the sixth element of the periodic table of chemical elements, i.e. carbon. Light carbon fiber has been widely used to create this futuristic, limited Lamborghini series.
The model is equipped with a V10 engine, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in just 2.5 seconds. Sesto Elemento has the best power-to-weight ratio ever achieved for a production Lamborghini,
When released, the price of one car was $ 2.2 million. In 2017, one of 20 copies was put up for sale in the United States for $ 4.5 million.
7. Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita - $ 4,800,000
Price in rubles: 318,388,320 rubles.
“Trevita” is the Swedish abbreviation for “three whites”. This refers to the sparkling silver-white carbon fiber that was developed specifically for this car. Carbon fibers are coated with resin impregnated with diamond dust, which gives the car body a truly regal look. And under the diamond coating is a 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a total output of 1,004 hp.
Due to the complex and time-consuming production process of carbon fiber transformation, only two unique diamond supercars “saw” the white light.
6. Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio - $ 5,000,000
Price in rubles: 331 654 500 rubles.
In 2013, the legendary Italian design firm released a limited version of the Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio. Only six cars entered it. Immediately after the release, each of them was estimated at $ 3 million, and just two years later, in 2015, the asking price was a little over $ 5 million. Now Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio is one of the most expensive cars in the world.
The Sergio has a 4.5-liter V8 engine rated at 570 hp, which was originally produced for the 458 Speciale. The car has no roof, side windows and windshield. But the most interesting thing is that each of the six owners of this sports car was chosen by the manufacturer. That rare case when money does not solve everything.
5. Bugatti Divo - $ 5,800,000
Price in rubles: 384,719,220 rubles.
Bugatti took the path of adding extra downforce and gave the world a more track-oriented version of the Divo. This model is stable in turns and is a worthy successor to the slightly less expensive Bugatti Chiron. By the way, under the terms of Bugatti, in order to buy a Divo, the future owner must own Chiron.
All 40 created cars have already been sold, despite their extremely high price.
4. Mercedes-Benz Maybach Exelero - $ 8,000,000
Price in rubles: 530,647,200 rubles.
This car was introduced in 2005 as a sports car for millionaires. A 5.9-liter twin-turbo V12 engine delivers decent 590 horsepower and 1,020 Nm of torque. The maximum speed of Exelero is 250 km / h, and the acceleration time of 0-100 km / h does not exceed 4.4 seconds.
3. Lamborghini Veneno - $ 9,500,000
Price in rubles: 630,143,550 rubles.
Whenever the word Lamborghini is mentioned, a beautiful, futuristic-looking car comes to mind. And Veneno fully meets these expectations.
The Italians paid great attention to the stability of the car on the corners and aerodynamics, so driving Veneno - a real pleasure. Lamborghini produced just four Veneno units, of which three were put up for sale.
After debuting in 2013, each Veneno was sold for $ 4.5 million. According to a message published in 2017, one of the supercars was auctioned by the previous owner at a price of $ 9.5 million.
2. Rolls-Royce Sweptail - $ 13,000,000
Price in rubles: 862,301,700 rubles.
The second most expensive car in the history of the automotive industry was created in a single copy and never went on sale. It was designed in 2013 for a lover of yachts and aircraft, whose name is kept secret. In appearance, this expensive exclusive toy itself resembles a yacht designed for only two passengers. It was based on the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe with a 6.75-liter V12 engine.
In May 2017, the car was presented at the annual Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este event. Giles Taylor, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars' design director, called Sweptail "the automotive equivalent of haute couture."
1. Ferrari 250 GTO - $ 48,400,000
Price in rubles: 3 210 415 560 rub.
Every major car collector wants to get this chic race car, but only a few can do it. Its exclusivity can be judged by the fact that the Ferrari 250 GTO supercar was sold for an impressive price tag of $ 48.4 million (44 million per lot and 10% auction fee) at an auction in August 2018, the cost of the most expensive car in 2019 world.
The GTO in the name stands for Gran Turismo Omologata - that is, "a car approved for racing." But it is unlikely that the new owner will risk putting 880 kg of this iron luxury to the competition.
UPD. On March 5, 2019, the new most expensive car in history was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. They became Bugatti La Voiture Noire worth 820 million rubles.
