The World’s 50 Most Expensive Automobiles
10.SP Automotive Chaos
Price: $6.4 Million
SP Automotive (short for Spyros Panopoulos) is a new name in the world of hypercars, but the brand’s 2,000-horsepower, $6.4-million, aptly named Chaos has already made an impact. With a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V10, the base SP Automotive Chaos is one of the most expensive cars on this list – beating out many Lambos and Bugattis – but there’s an even pricier version of this car that costs an eye-watering $14.4 million. That version reportedly packs 3,000 hp.
9.Pagani Codalunga
Price: $7.4 Million
The long list of pricey (new) Paganis ends with the Codualunga. Inspired by 1960s Italian coachbuilding, the stunning exterior and steampunk-esque interior – while equally stunning – are only part of what makes this Pagani so pricey. Under the hood is a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 producing 829 horsepower and 809 pound-feet of torque, paired to a seven-speed sequential transmission for a real race-car–like feel. The cost for this one-of-five Pagani is $7.4 million.
8.777 Hypercar
Price: $7.5 Million
The 777 Hypercar is an ultra-exclusive track car that has an FIA-homologated carbon monocoque chassis and a stunning LMP1-inspired design. Powered by a naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 that spins all the way to 9,000 rpm, the 777 Hypercar has 730 hp and a whopping top speed of 230 mph. This track-only toy costs $7.5 million.
7.Mercedes-Maybach Exelero
Price: $8.0 Million
Like many others before it, the Mercedes-Benz Maybach Exelero is a one-off. Commissioned by Fulda, a German subsidiary of Goodyear, to test its new tires, the Exlero debuted in 2004. Mercedes built the Exelero on the bones of a Maybach, and gave it the same twin-turbo V12 engine producing 690 horsepower (510 kilowatts) and 752 pound-feet (1,020 Newton-meters) of torque. Top speed is listed at 218 miles per hour (350 kilometers per hour) and adjusted for inflation, the Exelero would cost more than $10 million in today’s money.
6.Bugatti Centodieci
Price: $9.0 Million
Bugatti debuted the Centodieci at last year’s Pebble Beach car week, showing off yet another ultra-rare, super-expensive model to the world. Limited to just 10 – dieci – units, the car is a modern throwback to the Bugatti EB110. At the same time, it’s meant to celebrate Bugatti’s momentous 110-year anniversary. Its unique styling cues won’t make everyone fall in love, but at least you won’t have to worry about seeing another one on the road. Carrying a price just shy of $9 million, the Centodiece is one of the most exclusive cars ever made.
