Top 5 Most Expensive Cars In The World

1. BUGATTI'S LA VOITURE NOIRE - $19 MILLION

If you like flashy cars and have millions of dollars, you might have been excited to hear that Bugatti recently unveiled the most expensive new car ever made. 

Earlier this month, the French luxury sports car brand started showing off the new Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which has an eye-popping price tag of 16.7 million euros (nearly $19 million USD).

However, if you want to add this luxury “hypercar” to your own collection, you’re already too late — Bugatti only made one and it’s already been sold to a mystery buyer, who the company simply describes as “a Bugatti enthusiast.” (CNBC previously reported that the buyer was Ferdinand Piech, former chairman of Volkswagen Group, which owns the Bugatti brand).

Bugatti rolled out the one-off supercar to celebrate the brand’s 110th anniversary and to pay homage to the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, an extremely rare all-black luxury coupe it made in the 1930s. (Only four of the Type 57SC Atlantics were ever made and one is owned by designer Ralph Lauren and valued at $40 million.)

The most expensive car to sell is Bugatti's black car. Sold for $19 MILLION the car features a 16-cylinder engine and iconic Bugatti grille. It has a carbon fiber body. The black car was presented at the Geneva Motor Show, where it was sold for a record price. The car reaches a speed of 62 miles per hour in 2.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 261 miles per hour.

2. KOENIGSEGG CCXR TREVITA - $4.8 MILLION

The Koenigsegg CCXR is a mid-engine sports car manufactured by Swedish automotive manufacturer Koenigsegg Automotive AB. The project began with the aim of making a global car, designed and engineered to comply with global safety and environment regulations, particularly to enter the United States car market. To sell cars in the US many alterations were made to the design of the CCXR; the previously used Ford Modular engine was replaced by an in-house developed Koenigsegg engine designed to run on 91 octane fuel, readily available in the United States, and to meet the Californian emission standards.

The CCXR Trevita is a limited edition of the Koenigsegg CCXR featuring a diamond weave carbon fibre finish. Trevita is an abbreviation in Swedish and translates into "three whites". The Koenigsegg Proprietary Diamond Weave, fully developed by Koenigsegg, is a new and unique method to manufacture the carbon fibre used for the CCXR Trevita. By utilising this new and unique method, Koenigsegg managed to coat the fibres with a diamond finish. The fibre treatment is conducted carefully in small quantities, prior to further processing the pre-production material.


Initially, three CCXR Trevitas were planned to be produced, however, because of the complexity to make the special diamond weave carbon-fibre, only 2 were ever made, making it one of the rarest vehicles manufactured by Koenigsegg. Both cars featured the Koenigsegg Shimmering Diamond Weave bodywork, twin-deck carbon fibre rear wing, inconel exhaust system, carbon ceramic brakes with ABS, airbags, F1 paddle-shift gearbox, chrono instrument cluster, infotainment system, tire monitoring system and a hydraulic lifting system. The Trevita is also one of the most expensive sports cars, costing US$4.8 million.

In addition, the Koenigsegg is equipped with a 4.8-liter V8 with double turbocharger and a total output of 1,004 hp, with the trailer on the highway can be easily overhauled. Only two models of this car have been made, making it one of the rarest and most exclusive cars.

3. LAMBORGHINI VENENO ROADSTER - $4.5 MILLION

The 2014 Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is one of the most exclusive cars in the world, with a production run of just nine units and a price tag of $4.5 million.

The roadster variant of the Lamborghini Veneno was unveiled on the Italian naval aircraft carrier Cavour docked in Abu Dhabi's Mina Zayed port in 2014, followed by the 2014 Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show. Performance of the roadster remains identical to that of the coupé with the roadster being 50 kg (110.2 lb) heavier than the coupé counterpart due to chassis reinforcing components.

The roadster went on sale for €3,300,000 (excluding tax). Only nine units of the roadster were produced, all of which were already sold.
