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.
