The 10 Most Expensive Cars in the World
[2]
[3] Theyâ€(tm)re luxurious, theyâ€(tm)re
lustworthy, theyâ€(tm)re fast–
theyâ€(tm)re also the worldâ€(tm)s most
expensive. These 10 cars are the most expensive models you can buy
today, from Maybach to Mercedes, Bugatti to Lamborghini. While only
the richest of the rich can afford them, we can still drool. Here are
the 10 most expensive production cars available on the road
today… [4]
[5]
Before we get started, a few notes to remember. There are single or
custom cars that may exceed these prices. For example, a 1961 Ferrari
250GT sold for $11 million this year, making it the
worldâ€(tm)s most expensive car. These, however, are
recently produced cars that are available today in quantities of 20 or
more. Without further adieu, enjoy! [6]
10. Maybach 62 Sedan: $390,000 [7]
[8]
While the Maybach brand was initially founded in 1909, it was
reintroduced by Daimler Chrysler in 2002 to compete with Rolls Royce
and Bentley. Six years later, the “Luxury Brand
Status Index†voted the Maybach as the #1 luxury
car– ahead of both Bentley and Rolls. If price is
any indicator, the Maybach 62 runs at $390,000, a good $50k higher
than a Rolls Royce Phantom and $200k higher than a Bentley Continental
GTC. What does that extra scratch get you? The ultimate in luxury,
powered by a 5.5L twin-turbo V12 engine pushing 612 horses. But you
wonâ€(tm)t get behind the wheel– this
extended cab model is intended for your chauffeur.
Youâ€(tm)re busy in the back with models like Rosie

9. Porsche Carrera GT: $420,000 [10] [11]
Going from luxury to performance in 3.5 seconds, the Porsche Carrera
GT is a very different car than the Maybach above. The engines are
quite similar– the Carrera GT is powered by a 5.7L
V10 engine producing the same 612 HP as the Maybach. But with one
glance at the Porsche, you know this beast means business. The Porsche
Carrera GT hits sixty from zero in 3.5 seconds, as well as 100mph from
a standing start in just 6.8 seconds. This mid-engine street machine
was given the wheel base, air dams and carbon fiber body elements of a
pro racer with street legal sensibility.
8. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren: $450,000 [12] [13]
While production ended on Mercedesâ€(tm) top roadster
this year, a savvy (see also: rich) shopper can find one of the 3,500
produced available for resale. A bit more powerful than the Porsche
Carrera GT, the McLaren SLR includes a 5.4L SOHC V8 that generates a
maximum power output of 626 horsepower. That pushes this 2-ton
Mercedes monster to
