Take out that third mortgage. You’re going to need it to afford these infrequent and excessively powerful beauties
In life, you get what you pay for. And for some very wealthy gearheads, forking over the big bucks means getting ludicrous amounts of speed, industry-leading technology and a entire lot of prestige. Hit the track in any one of these supercars and you’ll quickly understand why these vehicles cost as much as they do.

Take a look at the ten most expensive cars in the world below (all figures in USD).
Pagani Huayra — $1.3M
There is nothing ordinary about the Pagani Huayra
Named after Huayra-tata, a god of the winds that was idolized by the Inca people, the Pagani Huayra certainly does fit the bill with its wind-swept bod. The Italian supercar is propelled by a twin-turbo Mercedes-AMG V12, six-litre engine which produces seven hundred thirty horsepower and seven hundred forty lb.-ft. of torque. It has a top speed of three hundred seventy two km/h and can accelerate from rest to one hundred km/h in only Three.Three seconds.

McLaren P1 — $1.35M
The 375th McLaren P1 is finished in an orange similar to the final McLaren F1 ever built
The McLaren P1 is the epitome of hybrid insanity. Powered by a twin-turbocharged Trio.8-litre V8 engine paired to an electrical motor, the P1 pumps out a whopping nine hundred three horsepower. After debuting as a concept at the two thousand twelve Paris Motor Demonstrate, the very first P1 hit the road in September 2013. Since then, a total of three hundred seventy five McLaren P1s have been produced, with the last rolling off the assembly line in December 2015. When it comes to sheer hybridized power, the P1 may very well stand in a class all its own for a while to come.
Ferrari LaFerrari — $1.6M
Ferrari‘s very first hybrid supercar comes packed with track-tested technology. The La Ferrari is capable of a combined nine hundred fifty horsepower, when taking into account its 6.3-litre, V12 engine that produces seven hundred eighty nine horsepower and a 161-horsepower electrified motor; all of this amounts to a forty per cent decrease in fuel consumption. Ferrari says the car has a top speed exceeding three hundred fifty km/h, reaching one hundred km/h in less than three seconds.
Aston Martin One-77 — $1.6M
Aston Martin One-77: A flagship car, or “halo” car, represents the very best an auto brand has to suggest – whether it be in looks, technology, or prestige. As far as flagships go, the Aston Martin One-77 has all three in spades and stands as one of the most beautiful cars in history. Very first appearing at the two thousand eight Paris Motor Display to much adoration, production commenced in two thousand nine and lasted until 2012, with only seventy seven being built (hence the supercar’s name).
Arguably one of the most beautiful cars of all time, only seventy seven copies of the supercar were ever built (hence the name). The award-winning One-77 features a naturally aspirated 7.3-litre V12 engine that produces seven hundred fifty horsepower. The top speed is estimated to be around three hundred twenty km/h and it’s capable of going from zero to one hundred km/h in about Three.Five seconds.
Ferrari F60 America — $Two.5M
Ferrari F60 America
Ferrari determined to commemorate sixty years in North America with this rear-wheel-driven, V12-powered, 730-horsepower supercar, and is it ever a infrequent beauty. Based on the F12 Berlinetta, only ten F60 Americas were slated to be produced when it was announced in October 2014, and, not remarkably, all ten copies found deep-pocketed buyers very quickly. The F60 America differentiates itself from the F12 Berlinetta with bolder styling, an open roof and a gussied-up crimson interior.
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse — $Two.6M
Bugatti Veyron 16.Four Grand Sport Vitesse
The former holder of the “fastest car in the world” title, the Bugatti Veyron may be discontinued, but it remains among the most coveted status symbols in the automotive world. The Grand Sport Vitesse convertible is loaded with a neck-breaking 1,200 horsepower and 1,106 lb.-ft. of torque. Compare that with the standard Bugatti Veyron‘s nine hundred eighty seven horses and nine hundred twenty two lb.-ft. of torque, and the difference becomes pretty evident.

Koenigsegg One:1 — $Two.85M
The Koenigsegg One:1 can officially go from zero to three hundred km/h and back down to zero in just 17.95 seconds
The One:1 is powered by a twin-turbocharged Five.0-litre V8, producing a earnestly absurd 1,340 horsepower and seven hundred forty lb.-ft. of torque. And how to explain the odd name? The One:1’s extensive use of carbon fibre lends a curb weight of just 1,340 kilograms, which matches the horsepower output. All of this translates to sweeping spectacle on the track. The supercar can reach three hundred km/h from a standstill in just 11.922 seconds.
Lykan HyperSport — $Three.4M
The Lykan Hypersport is manufactured by Lebanese automaker W Motors.
The brainchild of Dubai-based W Motors, the Lykan is the very first supercar made by a company located in the Middle East. It was featured in the film Furious seven and has already built up its supercar cachet as one of the most expensive and limited production cars ever — W Motors plan to produce only seven units of the car. So, what makes the Lykan so special? Well, in addition to being powered by a Three.7-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine that produces seven hundred eighty horsepower and seven hundred eight lb.-ft. of torque, the two-door, rear-wheel-drive supercar can accelerate from zero to one hundred km/h in Two.8 seconds, and it’s the very first car to feature headlights with embedded jewels (buyers have a choice of diamonds, rubies or sapphires). Talk about extravagant.
Lamborghini Veneno Roadster — $Four.5M
Think the Lamborghini Veneno roadster is wild? Wait until you meet the Centenario.
The convertible version of Lamborghini’s fierce-looking supercar is the most expensive — and special — vehicle in Lambo’s arsenal. Only nine Veneno Roadsters were produced, beginning in 2014. Those fortunate to get their palms on one of these off the hook cars surely left behind about the hefty price tag as soon as the 740-horsepower V12 engine hit its top speed of three hundred fifty five km/h.

Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita — $Four.8M
When it comes to ultra-rare vehicles, the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita stands above the rest. The Swedish boutique manufacturer only built two of these things, and one of them happens to be possessed by boxer Floyd “Money” Mayweather, who made headlines in August two thousand fifteen by announcing he paid $Four.8M for the privilege. The company describes the hypercar as a “diamond on wheels.” It’s not just hyperbole, either; the CCXR Trevita’s specially designed and covered carbon fibre assets actually sparkles a silvery white under sunlight. The company originally planned to produce three copies of this car, but the process for manufacturing the white carbon fibre proved to be so difficult that the decision was made to limit production to just two.
The Trevita, which is a Swedish abbreviation meaning “three whites,” features a dual carbon rear wing and a Four.8-litre V8 under the rubber hood, pumping out 1,018 horsepower and seven hundred ninety six lb.-ft. of torque. It can hit one hundred km/h from a standstill in a scant Two.9 seconds and has a top speed of over four hundred ten km/h. Extraordinaire, indeed.
