The thrill of driving the world's most expensive cars is a pleasure available to a very narrow circle of people. However, the excitement can already be experienced at the sight of these contemporary works of art, whether live or in photograph.
Some of them are impossible to buy, even if you are an oligarch who lights cigars from hundreds of dollar bills. An example is the Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio, a luxury supercar that was only offered to customers chosen by Ferrari.
In our ranking, we have collected 10 most expensive cars in the world in 2019... The cost in Russian currency is indicated at the exchange rate at the time of this writing.
10. Aston Martin Valkyrie - $ 3,200,000
Price in rubles: 212 258 880 rubles.
The Valkyrie is Aston Martin's first hypercar, and the company has gone to great lengths to make it look great. It is planned to produce 150 cars, but they are all sold out in advance. The announced price of $ 3.2 million includes auto delivery starting in 2019.
The Valkyrie isn't just one of the most expensive cars in the world. It is a combination of Red Bull Formula 1 experience with Aston Martin heritage to create a sensational car with excellent road performance. It has an ideal power-to-weight ratio of 1: 1.
A whopping 1,130 horsepower is provided by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine that works in conjunction with an electric motor to provide additional acceleration and torque.
All owners of the hypercar will be provided with an individual training program (regular fitness and driving on the tracks), as well as access to a Formula 1 racing simulator.
9. Lykan Hypersport - $ 3,400,000
Price in rubles: 225 525 060 rubles.
Manufactured by Lebanese automaker W Motors, the Lykan Hypersport is a limited edition sports car. There are 7 examples in the world, each of which boasts gold-embroidered seats and headlights inlaid with diamonds.
The 3.7-liter twin-turbo 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: RUB 298 489 050
This vehicle is extremely lightweight and has a curb weight of only 999 kg. The name Sesto Elemento is a reference to the sixth element of the periodic table of chemical elements, i.e. carbon. Lightweight carbon fiber has been used extensively to create this futuristic limited edition Lamborghini.
The model is equipped with a V10 engine, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in just 2.5 seconds. The 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 US for $ 4.5 million.
7. Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita - $ 4,800,000
Price in rubles: RUB 318 388 320
Trevita is a Swedish abbreviation for three whites. This refers to the sparkling silvery white carbon fiber that has been specially developed for this vehicle. The 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 manufacturing process of transforming carbon fibers, only two unique diamond supercars have seen 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 edition Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio. It included only six cars. Immediately upon release, each was valued at $ 3 million, and just two years later, in 2015, the asking price was just over $ 5 million. Now Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio is one of the most expensive cars in the world.
Sergio has a 4.5-liter V8 engine producing 570 hp, which was originally produced for the 458 Speciale. The car has no roof, side windows or 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 went the route of adding extra downforce and bringing the world a more track-oriented version in the form of the Divo. This model is stable in corners and is a worthy successor to the slightly less expensive Bugatti Chiron. By the way, according to Bugatti's terms, in order to buy a Divo, the future owner must own a 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. The 5.9L twin-turbo V12 engine delivers a decent 590 horsepower and 1,020 Nm of torque. The Exelero's top speed is 250 km / h, and the acceleration time from 0-100 km / h does not exceed 4.4 seconds.
3. Lamborghini Veneno - $ 9.5 million
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 car's cornering stability and aerodynamics, making the Veneno a real pleasure to drive. Lamborghini produced just four Venenos, of which three were put up for sale.
Since debuting in 2013, each Veneno has been sold for $ 4.5 million. One of the supercars was auctioned by the previous owner for $ 9.5 million, according to a post published in 2017.
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 the yacht and aircraft lover, whose name is kept secret. In appearance, this expensive exclusive toy itself resembles a yacht designed for only two passengers. It is 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, design director for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, called Sweptail "the automotive equivalent of high fashion."
1. Ferrari 250 GTO - $ 48.4 million
Price in rubles: 3 210 415 560 rubles.
Every major car collector dreams of owning this gorgeous racing car, but only a few can. 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, which is the price of the most expensive car in the world of 2019.
GTO stands for Gran Turismo Omologata in its name - that is, "a car allowed to race." But the new owner is unlikely to dare to put 880 kg of this iron luxury on the competition.
UPD. On March 5, 2019, the most expensive new car in history was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. It was Bugatti La Voiture Noire worth 820 million rubles.
