These Cars Are the Pinnacle of Automotive Excellence and Have Prices to Match

For many, shopping for a new car involves getting the most for your budget. But what if your budget is unlimited? If you are among those who do not have to ask how much something costs, there is a rarified selection of automobiles that are the pinnacle of performance and luxury.

Whether it is an ultra-rare Rolls-Royce or a purebred track machine, the top 0.1% of the automobile world is driven by an arms race among owners to flex their wealth. The result is that the world gets treated to some of the most absurd vehicles on the planet. In the following slides, we showcase the most expensive cars in the world, including their planned or completed production numbers, which are often under 50. This list does not include collector cars, which may be a “1 of 1” such as a Mercedes, Porsche or Ferrari race car that competed in Europe in the 1960s.

You may never see any of the following vehicles on the street. It’s more likely the next time you see one will be at a Concours (an extremely upscale car show) or a museum. But when you do, you’ll be able to impress others by knowing just how much money such a machine costs.

Read on to learn about the priciest production cars for 2025. If you’re looking for a high-performance vehicle with more accessible pricing, be sure to check out our slideshow on affordable supercars.

 

2025 Ferrari SF90 XX

$890,000 (Est.) | Units Produced: 1,398 (799 Stradale + 599 Spider)

A Ferrari is a rare and specialized machine, even their “higher-volume” supercars. The brand also makes more rarified hypercars, such as the hybrid SF90. Among these limited-run machines, there are variants with the “XX” designation. These are extremely limited-run cars designed to wring every ounce of potential from the SF90 on the track. It is offered in the hardtop “Stradale” and open-top “Spider” models.

The SF90 XX features a twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors. This setup makes a combined 1,036 horsepower, which is 30 more horsepower than the conventional SF90. The extra power and lighter weight allow the SF90 XX to sprint from zero to 60 in just 2.3 seconds and hit a top speed of 211 mph. It also has aggressive aerodynamics that will take the capabilities of this hypercar to its limits.

2025 Gordon Murray Automotive T.33

$1.72 million | Units Produced: 100

The T.33 is more of an “entry-level” supercar from Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA), though that’s not to say it’s anything less than a world-class performance machine. It features the same powertrain as the T.50, though it does not make as much power (607 horsepower in the T.33 to 654 horsepower in the T.50).

In addition to its potent naturally aspirated V12 engine, the T.33 actually has a six-speed manual, which is getting harder and harder to find these days. The T.33 does not have the fan downforce system of the T.50, and it has a conventional two-seat roadster layout (compared to the three-seat, center-driver setup in the T.50).

2025 Koenigsegg Gemera

$1.7 Million (Est.) | Units Produced: 300

All of these cars feature world-class engineering, but for automaker Christian Von Koenigsegg, that excellence is an obsession. The Gemera is unique for a hypercar in that it has a four-seat cockpit, accessed via its unique dihedral doors. It has a unique powertrain that allows it to run on gas power, electric power or both.

The Gemera was introduced in 2020 and has received a number of updates in the form of incredible powertrain choices. The standard setup produces 1,381 horsepower. You can also get a V8 engine that works with an electric motor to produce an astonishing 2,269 horsepower.

2026 McLaren W1

$2.1 million | Units Planned: 399

Every so often, McLaren produces a hypercar that stands out even among its lineup of supercars. Following the F1 and P1, the W1 is a limited-production vehicle and all 399 units have been spoken for. It is a hybrid hypercar with lessons learned from exclusive models like the McLaren Senna.

The W1 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, paired with an electric motor to produce a staggering 1,258 horsepower and 988 pound-feet of torque. It is capable of sprinting from zero to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of 217 mph. It’s a plug-in hybrid with a range of just two miles. Its plug-in hybrid powertrain helps with acceleration, as well as leaving your garage silently, which your neighbors will appreciate.

Rimac Nevera R
 

2025 Rimac Nevera R

$2.5 Million, | Units Produced: 40

If you find that the blistering performance of a Tesla Model S Plaid just isn’t enough, Rimac will quench your all-electric need for speed. The Nevera is the follow-up to the C_Two from the low-volume Croatian EV hypercar company. It features a 120 kWh Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide battery, providing power to electric motors mounted at all four wheels. The motors are good for 1,813 total system horsepower and 1,741 pound-feet of torque. For the 2025 model year, the Nevera R joins the lineup, with output cranked up to an astonishing 2,107 horsepower.

That kind of power and torque will have you constantly shredding through tires. The Nevera can rocket from zero to 60 mph in an absurd 1.85 seconds and execute the quarter-mile in 8.6 seconds. The upgraded Nevera R will do the same zero-to-60-mph run in a scant 1.74 seconds. The battery-pack system provides 350-kWh fast-charging capability that allows it to go from 20% to 80% charge in 18 minutes. On a full charge, the Nevera has a range of 205 miles, and your range may vary following multiple rapid acceleration runs.

Automobili Pininfarina Battista Targamerica
 

2025 Pininfarina Battista

$2.4 Million | Units Produced: 150

Pininfarina is yet another Italian design firm, and arguably the most iconic. It is responsible for decades of head-turning Ferrari designs, and its first-ever standalone production car is named for Pininfarina’s founder, Battista “Pinin” Farina. It is built in the same factory as the Rimac Nevera and uses the same EV powertrain, but great lengths have been taken to ensure the chassis and underpinnings are thoroughly unique.

The electric Pininfarina Battista is built with a full carbon fiber monocoque and carbon fiber body panels for lightweight strength. It features four electric motors — one at each wheel. Together, they deliver a staggering 1,900 horsepower, enabling a blistering zero-to-60-mph sprint of just 1.8 seconds. It also features speakers built into the car that replicate engine noise.

Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut
 

2025 Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut

$3.4 Million | Units Produced: 125

Like Gordon Murray, Christian Von Koenigsegg is a visionary car designer. The Jesko is the latest in a line of chart-topping hypercars from the Swedish carmaker. The Jesko features a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 that puts out 1,280 horsepower with premium gas. When filled with E85 biofuel, it is capable of 1,600 horsepower. It routes power through a nine-speed multi-clutch transmission. Koenigsegg claims that, with E85 fuel in use, the Jesko has a theoretical top speed of 300+ mph.
 
The Jesko features dramatic yet functional styling touches, such as the center-mounted spoiler and active aerodynamics. Along with the potent powertrain and large brakes, these features helped the Jesko Absolut achieve four world records, including 0-250 mph, 0-400 km/h, 0-250-0 mph, and 0-400-0 km/h. The Absolut also achieved a top speed of 256 mph.

2024 Gordon Murray T.50
 

2025 Gordon Murray T.50

$3.2 Million | Units Produced: 100

When it comes to auto racing, Gordon Murray is one of the most significant designers of all time. He designed cars that have won endurance races and Formula One championships. He now has a car company that bears his name, and the T.50 is one of his new creations. It calls upon lessons learned from the road and the track.

In a time of hybrid and all-electric supercars, the T.50 features a gas-only, naturally aspirated (no turbos or supercharger) 3.9-liter V12 that makes 661 horsepower and a wonderfully old-fashioned six-speed manual transmission. The T.50 boasts a unique integrated fan system, which helps channel air through the bodywork and muster downforce for both high-speed runs and cornering. Murray promises the T.50 to be one of the most connected driving experiences money can buy.

2025 Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider

$4 Million | Units Produced: 85

The Aston Martin brand certainly has a fascination with Norse mythology. Its hypercar is called the Valhalla, and its more expensive predecessor is dubbed the Valkyrie. Following the fixed-roof version, Aston Martin debuted the Spider variant at the 2021 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It has a single removable roof panel rather than a retractable top.

The Valkyrie features a hybrid powertrain with a Cosworth-developed 6.5-liter V12 engine, making a combined 1,139 horsepower. This is such a high-performance machine that Aston Martin plans on taking this vehicle to the track. It will compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the IMSA racing series.

Pininfarina B95

$4.8 million | Units Produced: 10

Believe it or not, the Battista is Pininfarina’s “volume” car and is more conventional compared to the B95. Pininfarina calls it an “open-ski” hypercar, bringing race-ready technology to a minimalist road car.

As you can clearly see, the B95 does not have a windshield, as the occupants are expected to wear head and eye protection. Most models feature a jet-like yellow-and-graphite paint scheme, though the one pictured here is the “Gotham” variant from Pininfarina’s collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery. With four electric motors making nearly 1,900 horsepower and a zero-to-60-mph time of under 2 seconds, the B95 can move like a fighter plane as well.

Red Bull RB17

$6.8 million | Units Produced: 50

Red Bull — yes, the same dominant Formula One team — is building a track car. Designed by Adrian Newey (F1 engineer and former Red Bull chief technical officer), it features F1-inspired aerodynamics, including active aero and ground effects. Red Bull is working with Michelin to create tires designed specifically to handle the incredible tolerances.

This hypercar features a 1,000-horsepower V10 that works with an electric motor to make a combined 1,200 horsepower. With a curb weight of just 1,984 pounds, the RB17 is expected to cover tracks as fast as F1 cars and blast to a top speed of 217 mph.

Rolls-Royce Droptail

$32 Million | Units Produced: 4

The Rolls-Royce Droptail is part of the brand’s exclusive Coachbuild series. Only four of these roadsters will ever be made and each is uniquely tailored to its owner’s desires. The first model from this series is the La Rose Noire Droptail, pictured here. The name is inspired by the Black Baccara rose, and the car features a color-shifting paint called “True Love” that mimics the rose’s deep red hues in different lights.

Inside, this limited-run Rolls has incredible craftsmanship, with 1,603 wood veneer pieces resembling rose petals. It also features a removable Audemars Piguet timepiece, which adds a touch of elegance. The level of detail is incredible including gemstone controls and other customized elements.
