Top 5 expensive cars

Most expensive cars in the world

In recent times, cars have moved from being just a means of transportation to being a symbol of status and power used by the very wealthy and influential.

From the stupendously-rich monarch in the Middle-East, to wealthy business moguls in Europe and America, cars have become another means of showing off wealth.

Big names like Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce often come at very high prices and are only meant for rich collectors as many of them are often sold out before they reach the public.

While most of the cars listed here are wildly out of the reach for most, it is a sheer pleasure just to look at them. Some of these cars are more expensive than the most affordable Jet: the Cirrus Vision 5-seater jet which goes for $1.96 million.

In fact, the most expensive car in the world which goes for N3.9 billion ($13m), can buy 6 Cirrus Vision Jets. However, most of them are not available in the open market as there are only very limited quantity or they are manufactured on request. In fact there is only one of the most expensive car in the world and it would not be replicated.
Below is a list of 10 most expensive cars in the World:

Bugatti Chiron
Bugatti Chiron – $2.7m (N826 million)
This is one of the latest range of high priced cars made by Bugatti and it starts at around $2.7 million. However, prices are expected to reach $3 million in the least, long before it hits the market.

The Bugatti Chiron is hyped by its manufacturers and touted as the World’s most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production super sports car.

It is a fine example of the collusion of aerospace and automotive engineering to produce a classic device that could give a speed of 268 mph. The 8.0 litre turbo-charged W-16, 1,500-horsepower engine is actually 300 more than the Super Sport, the fastest Veyron model.

Its top speed has been limited to 261 mph on the road, its actual top speed is yet to be tested.

Pagani Huayra

Pagani Huayra BC – $2.8 million (N856 million)
This is the most expensive Pagani ever made and named as a tribute to Benny Caiola, a noted Italian investor with probably the best collection of Ferraris and a very close friend of Horacio Pagani.

This car was first seen at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show with many cool aero features. It is equipped with a 6.0 liter V-12 bi-turbo AMG engine and produces 790 horsepower and 811 lb-ft torque.

And the most amazing bit is that the BC takes over the Huayra by changing the model’s standard 150 milliseconds to 75 milliseconds and it weighs only 1,218 kilograms.

Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio

Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio – $3 million (N918 million)
This Ferrari was originally introduced as a concept car in 2013 in memory of the late son of of the founder of Pininfarina. Only six of these cars have been made so far making it one of the most coveted cars.

Each of the handmade units has an all-carbon-fibre frame, and is an open air luxury car with two seats. Like the Ferrari 458, it has no roof, side windows and windshield, and is 330 pounds lighter than its ancestor. It is fitted with a 4.5 liter F136F V-8 engine, which sends 562 hp to the rear wheels.

The owners of each of the six models were chosen by the manufacturers themselves, making this one of the rarest of the rare invite-only vehicles.

Aston Martin Valkyrie

Aston Martin Valkyrie – $3.2 million (N979 million)
Aston Martin is yet to announce a price for this car, experts estimate that it would cost nothing less than 3.2 million dollars. This model is a renovation of the old Aston Martin-Red Bull AM-RB 001.
