10 Most Expensive Cars In The World! by AutoG: 1:10pm On Nov 07, 2013
Buying a car should be a simple process. You go to the dealership, pick out the one you want, and the let the haggling over the price as how the car speaks to you and how it doesn't smile back at you commence.

This compiled list of cars, though, is a little different. Take for instance, the gorgeous new Ferrari LaFerrari. Even if you do happen to have a spare $1.13 million lying around, don't bother calling your Ferrari dealer angry . If Ferrari thinks you deserve of one its 499 masterpieces, it will call and offer the privilege of such a masterpiece to you .

That’s what sets these dream cars apart, and makes this list of the world’s top ten great and expensive cars a bit special.

Let’s face it; we may never see one of these cars in the flesh tongue – let alone own one – but that’s true of the Mona Lisa, too. And that doesn't stop people traveling around the world to see her.

These cars are more than just insane pieces of engineering capable of transporting you to 60 mph faster than lightning striking a cheetah; they are cultural treasures.

By the way, we've excluded classic cars that are being sold at auctions and are widely unavailable. So don't expect to see Steve McQueen’s Mustang from Bullitt on here.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your checkbooks…

10. Porsche 918 Spyder $845,000


Just shy of a million dollars, the Porsche 918 Spyder would rarely be considered cheap – even relatively speaking. But on this list, it’s a bargain.

What makes the 918 special, though, is not the price, it’s that the 918 Spyder comes from the future. That’s right. It’s a hybrid. Don't for a second think the 918 Spyder is a poor sad Toyota Prius hobbling along in the right lane , because this bad boy has 887 horsepower, which is would do 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds angry now that's bad! cool.

For comparison, that’s faster than the money you'll have to plunk down for this thing can leave your bank account.

But don't worry; you will save on gas; because this Teutonic thunderbolt can go 18 miles on the lightning in its batteries alone – and still pull 82 mpg in hybrid mode. That is, as long as your commute doesn't take you around the Nürburgring. Which it should, by the way wink.

9. McLaren P1 $1.1M

From the same manufacturer as the legendary F1, the P1 might just live up the insane legacy of the first 230 mph production car.
Lurking underneath this carbon fiber is a 3.8 liter twin-turbo V8 which when paired with the onboard electric motor is good for 903 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque cheesy shocked. The right way to think about this isn't even as a hybrid, but like a roadgoing Formula 1 car with a Kinetic Energy Recovery System. This will help you get over the fact that you can only get 9 miles on the battery.
Straight ahead speed isn’t quite as lunatic as it was on the F1 , with the top speed limited to a measly 217 mph undecided. But it will get you to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds. And, it will grip and brake like the amazing Spiderman on PEDs cool.

If you want one, act now because they just went into production and most of the 375 are spoken for wink.

9. Hennessey Venom GT $1.1M

The engineers over at Hennessey may need a little less testosterone and a little more Thorazine. That hasn’t stopped them, though, from achieving something that most physicists consider impossible.
They say everything is bigger in Texas and the Lone Star State-based tuning house is happy to that statement correct.
The Venom GT is filled with enough horsepower to stretch across the Lone Star State itself, packing a mind-blowing 1,500 horsepower mined from a poisonous 7.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. 0-60 is pegged at two seconds. The riotous acceleration doesn’t end there, though, the Venom claims a top speed of 287 mph.
If the CERN particle accelerator keeps having trouble they might just think about driving a Venom GT around it instead.

8. Zenvo ST1 $1.2M

Denmark may only be known for its massive butter consumption and as the setting of Hamlet. But the Zenovo ST1 is definitely ‘to be.’
Well, only three of them will actually ‘be.’ Apparently because they need to be hand carved from adamantium and Thor’s hammer.
The results though are impressive, the ST1 is propelled by a turbo supercharged 7.0-liter V8, which might have been nicked off of a P-38 Lightning. This monster powerplant is good for a top speed of 233 mph and a 0-60 time south of three seconds.
No wonder it looks so angry.

7. Maybach Landaulet $1.3M

Monarchs and rappers can rest easy, because this next car may have been designed for them. It’snot as fast as the other cars on this list, but it does come with far more appointments and luxuries.
For $1.3 million dollars, you get a hermetically sealed chauffeur compartment, which will isolate you from the commoner you have employed to drive you about. You also get a fully retractable roof which allows you to wave to your adoring subjects as you drive by.
When you tire of such attention you can open up your refrigerator and pull out a bottle of Crystal or the distilled blood of a pope and relax.
Presumably the button that says, “guards seize him” is an optional extra.

7. Ferrari La Ferrari $1.3M

Italian for ‘the Ferrari,” the Ferrari the Ferrari’s name might be a bit silly. But the everything else is absolutely spectacular.
In true Italian fashion, at the heart of this stallion is a V12. By itself, this mighty heart pumps out 789 horsepower. But if you hit the defibrillator and electrocute that sucker, with the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), you can get up to 950 hp.
Because this thing weighs rather a lot less than your average Ford Focus, the tidal wave of power will drive you to 120 mph in less than seven seconds; faster than most cars can get you to 60 mph.
If Ferrari hasn't already called to offer you one of the 499 La Ferraris it has built, you are out luck. You are just going to have to look for one second hand on the Dubai Craigslist.

7. Pagani Huayra $1.3M

Welcome to the best car that no one can pronounce. Named for the Incan “God of Winds,” the Huayra’s (why-rah) offers performance that a deity would be envious of.
Powered by an AMG 6.0-liter V12 with two turbochargers, the Huayra is good for 230 mph. And at 740 lb-ft, more torque than your average pantheon.
Styling is very Pagani. The car boasts gullwing doors, the patented Pagani antenna/side mirrors and some of the best leatherwork you will ever see.
For the low, low price of $1.3 million, this car is such a bargain you might want to buy two.

6. Koenigsegg Agera R $1.6M

Rumor has it that Koenigsegg rents out Volvo’s testing track for its chassis tuning test runs.
Apparently, while the Koenigsegg team roars around the circuit, Volvo execs watch from their offices, drink espresso, and remark at how unsafe the Agera R is. We doubt this story is true. But it makes the Agera R that much more appealing. We like to imagine the Koenigsegg horrifying the safety-obsessed Volvo brass.
And what frightens the Volvo folks so? It’s the Agera R’s 5.0-liter, 1,115 hp twin-turbo V8 that creates a king’s ransom in torque – 885 lb-ft to be precise. 60 mph is quickly conquered by the Agera R in 2.9 seconds. And the Swedish wedge of carbon will hit a maximum top speed of 260 mph.
Interestingly, the Agera R can actually hit 270 mph. In order to do that, though, owners need to sign a waiver for the speedy Swedes to unlock the speed limiter. This is an option, why? Of course I need to go 270. You don’t even need to ask, Jurgen.

5. Lamborghini Reventon $1.61M

The Reventon is truly a stealth fighter for the road, even if those looks would attract more attention than Kate Upton wandering into a middle school.
This Lambo’s name and personality both come from a famed Spanish fighting bull that killed an equally legendary bullfighter.
Drivers might be in just as much trouble when they strap into this 650 hp rocket. It has purportedly topped 220 mph in Dubai and will do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Oley!
Along with all this performance, you get one of the coolest supercar interiors out there. If it weren’t for the Lamborghini badges, you would be convinced that you are in an F-22 Raptor.
At $1.6 million the Reventon is the second most expensive Lamborghini behind the ultra-rare Veneno, not including the track-only Sesto Elemento ($2.2M) and the concept Aventador J ($2.8M).
