World Most Expensive Cars by Nobody: 1:06pm On Apr 21, 2015
10. 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 the 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.
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. But it will get you to 60 mph
in less than 3 seconds, and make it
from 0-182 in 16.5 seconds, twice
as fast as Ferrari 458 Italia. It will
also grip and brake like the amazing
Spiderman on PEDs.
McLaren has gone all out on the
quality control, when engineers test
the waterproof seals the car is
doused in nearly 4,000 gallons of
water.
If you want one, act now because
they just went into production and
most of the 375 are spoken for.

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. This
little company has produced the
fastest ever production car, capable
of 271 mph.
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. Or maybe NASA
could use it for deep space travel.
At just $1.1 million this car is almost
a bargain considering it can out strip
everything on this list, except
maybe: the mighty Koenigsegg
One:1.

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.
Unfortunately for the mighty Dane,
its initial exhibitions have not gone
well. It nearly killed Jeremy
Clarkson of Top Gear by setting him
on fire and then didn’t even go that
fast.
No wonder it looks so angry. Don’t
count the ST1 out yet though,
because Zenvo is hard at work.

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 LaFerraris
it has built, you are out luck. You
are just going to have to look for
one secondhand on the Dubai
Craigslist.

6. 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.

5. Koenigsegg One:1. $2.0M
When it comes to the car world,
Koenigsegg has been the crazy uncle
off in the corner doing its own thing.
Well that business model has really
paid off because it has just achieved
a very impressive automotive first, a
one-to-one power-to-weight ratio in
a road car.
This insane machine weighs just
1,340 kilograms and puts out 1,340
horsepower. And that weight
includes a full complement of fluids
and an average driver. This should
make the One:1 the fastest
accelerating car – and possibly plane
– that money can buy. What do I
mean? I mean 0 to 250 mph in
under twenty seconds and a claimed
potential top speed of 273 mph or
more.
In short, there might be more
luxurious cars on this list, but there
is none that can hold a candle in raw
performance.

4. Ferrari F60 America.
$3.2M
Built to celebrate 60 years of Ferrari
in America, the F60 – get it? – is
perhaps the most insane Ferrari
Roadster ever. The F60 is based on
the F12 Berlinetta, a car so crazy it
left noted ‘POWEEEEERRRR’
enthusiast Jeremy Clarkson scared.
In addition to that insanity, this bad
boy sports blue and white paint in
honor of Ferrari’s North American
Racing Team, and a cloth soft top
that can be raised at speeds of up to
75 mph.
That is a good thing, too, because, at
full tilt, the F60 will get to that
speed awfully quickly. The F60’s
740-hp V12 will propel the the car
to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and on to
a top speed of around 200 mph.
Hopefully one of the ten people
lucky enough to get their hands on
the F60 America will test that out
and let us know how fast it really
goes.

3. Mansory Vivre: Bugatti
Veyron. $3.4M
The Bugatti Veyron is getting to that
point in its life where it can wax
reflective and nostalgic. That’s
where the Legend Meo Constantini
comes in. Built to commemorate
friend of Bugatti founder, and two-
time winner of the Targa Folorio, in
a Bugatti 35.
Constantini was just the sort of
aristocratic whack-job that made
early motor racing great, so its
appropriate that Bugatti honored
him with such a mental car.
Underneath the Legend is a Grand
Sport Vitesse Roadster. It draws a
hyper-godly 1,200 hp from its W16.
This is good for a top speed of 254
mph. It might be a bit slower than
the Veyron Super Sport, but it’s
much prettier. The carbon fiber is
painted French Racing Blue, and the
aluminum is left to its own
burnished glory. Maps of the Targa
Florio and other racing scenes are
laser etched in both the exterior
and interior. This isn’t just a face
melting speed machine, its also a
work of art.

2. W Motors Lykan
Hypersport $3.4M
Didn’t know that Lebanon had a car
industry? Then you are missing out,
because the W Motors’ Lykan
Hypersport is one of the most
impressive things on four wheels.
Not many details are out about this
car yet, but it is purportedly good
for 245 mph, and a 0-60 time of 2.7
seconds. Amazingly, this
acceleration comes courtesy of a
turbocharged V6, which, compared
to some of the mammoth V12s
sported by cars on this list, seems
positively demure.
If those performance figures don’t
jump off the page, don’t worry the
Lykan Hypersport has an ace up its
sleeve. W Motors didn’t just focus
on performance, they have the tech
madness and sheer excess side of
hypercars covered. Those
handsomely aggressive LED lights
are covered in diamonds, and the
information about how far over the
speed limit you are going is
conveyed by a holographic display.
All I can say is, “Help me Lykan
Hypersport, you are my only hope.”

1. Lamborghini Veneno $4M
We should have expected
something this mad for
Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary, but
somehow we were still surprised.
The Veneno is simply jaw-dropping.
It may not be the most beautiful
supercar, but it is still one of the
coolest. I still have to remind myself
that I am actually looking at photos
of it rather than a concept drawing
or a computer generation.
But the Veneno isn’t all looks and
no go. The name is Spanish for
“poison” and boy is that
appropriate. The naturally aspirated
V12 – because turbos are for sissies
– hammers out 750 horsepower.
This Italian thunderclap will bring to
60 in 2.8 seconds, probably faster
than sound can leave your body
during a terrified scream.
The big wing on the back is
encouraging. Either it will help keep
the car on the road or it means that
the Veneno is in accordance with
FAA regulations, which is good until
you realize that means it was
designed to fly. Gulp.
It gets better too, because Lambo
has recently gone ahead with a
convertible version. The “poison”
Spyder is just as fast, and even more
mental. With speeds approaching
220 mph in an open top car, lets
just say you are going to need
goggles.
Even the batmobile looks tame in
comparison to the Veneno and it
probably costs less too.
Want one? That’s a silly question. Of
course you do. Unfortunately, the
three hard tops are already spoken
for, but there will be nine roadsters.
They may cost an extra half million
dollars, but for something like this
thats almost a bargain.
And hey we can all dream. After all,
that’s the point of this list.
