MANSORY VIVERE BUGATTI VEYRON









MANSORY VIVERE BUGATTI VEYRON

$3.4 million
The Mansory Vivere Bugatti Veyron is a modified Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. The vehicle is upgraded by Mansory, and all of the changes are to the aesthetic look of the vehicle. The exterior of the Vivere is covered in a superbly lacquered carbon fiber. Other changes include a new inner front grill, shortened hood, larger side scoops, a spoiler package that provides new diffusers, front apron, and new rims. The headlights and taillights are upgraded with LEDs as well. The interior is re-upholstered and covered in carbon fiber, and an LED lighting system illuminates the cockpit. The engine is left unchanged, but considering it’s an 8.0 liter W16, capable of producing 1,200 horsepower and 1,106 lb-ft of torque, I don’t think it needs any changes.









KOENIGSEGG ONE:1










KOENIGSEGG ONE:1

$2.8 million
With a Price tag of $2.8 million dollars, the Koenigsegg One:1 is built for one purpose: speed. Its name, meant to be pronounced as “one to one,” refers to the car’s metric power output of 1 megawatt (1341 horsepower when fueled by a E85 alcohol-gasoline blend) and its perfectly balanced power-to-metric weight ratio. The interior trim is minimal but covered in carbon, the seats have a six point harness to keep you firmly affixed while driving, the speedometer reaches 280 mph, and a power gauge shows how much horsepower the engine is producing. Speaking of engines, the One:1’s engine is a 5.1 liter twin turbo V-8 that produces 1341 horsepower and 738 foot pounds of torque ( 1161 horsepower if using regular gasoline).









FERRARI F60 AMERICA








FERRARI F60 AMERICA

$2.5 Milion
To celebrate their 60th anniversary, Ferrari created the Ferrari F60 America. Based on the F12 Berlinetta, the Ferrari F60 America is modified to suit what Ferrari felt Americans would want. The vehicle exterior is blue with white racing stripes, and the interior is clad in red leather and red accents. There is no roof, because who doesn’t love a convertible? The V12 engine produces 730 horsepower and can go from zero to sixty in 3.1 seconds. The price tag of the Ferrari F60 America was $2.5 million, 8 times the $320,000 price tag of the F12 Berlinetta– and all ten of them were sold before Ferrari even unveiled the vehicle. The only thing that would make this car more American would be replacing the standard Ferrari emblem with a bald eagle.









PAGANI HUAYRA









PAGANI HUAYRA

$1.4 million
The Pagani Huayra is a 720 horsepower, mid-engined, million dollar supercar. The 6 liter twin-turbo V-12 engine gets the Pagani Huayra to a top speed of 230 mph. The vehicle has motorized body surfaces that constantly lift and tuck lift an F-16’s flaperons with the goal of reducing body roll and stopping distances. The flaps on the Huayra’s upper body are designed to act like wing ailerons. Above 50 mph, all four lift 10 degrees to increase downforce. When the driver turns the wheel, the flaps on the inboard side rise to 20 degrees to counteract body roll. Under braking, all four lift to 40 degrees to act as air brakes. The cockpit looks like something from a spaceship, with bionic-Bauhaus sculptures in cut aluminium.









FERRARI LAFERRARI









FERRARI LAFERRARI

$1.4 million
While it may have a silly name, the Ferrari LaFerrari is gearing to become the king of exotic sports cars. Clocking in at $1.4 million dollars, it certainly costs a pretty penny. The LaFerrari is powered by a 950 horsepower hybrid engine. The V12 outputs 789 horsepower and gets the additional 161 of its horsepower from an electric motor. With a 0-60 mph time of 2.5 seconds and a 0-150 mph time of 9.8 seconds, the LaFerrari is no slouch, beating the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 by 1.5 seconds. A very low center of gravity and light steering allows the LaFerrari to navigate high speed turns with grace, although with that price tag you may not want to fly around corners for fear of destroying your investment.
