LAMBORGHINI VENENO









LAMBORGHINI VENENO

$4.5 million
In celebration of Lamborghini’s 50th birthday, the company created the ultra-expensive and exclusive Veneno. Named after one of the strongest and most aggressive fighting bulls ever, the Veneno is powered by a 6.5 liter V12 that produces 740 horsepower. Only 5 were ever made, 2 for the company and 3 for customers. One of the Venenos, with red accents, went to Antoine Dominic, owner of Lamborghini Long Island. The second, with green accents, went to Kris Singh, a car collector from florida. The third, accented in white, went to an unknown customer in Macau. The Veneno retailed for $4.5 million dollars, and all the customers purchased them sight unseen, only being given artist’s renderings of the vehicle. The original production Veneno, dubbed “car zero” resides in the Lamborghini museum.










W MOTORS LYKAN HYPERSPORT









W MOTORS LYKAN HYPERSPORT

$3.4 million
Produced by W Motors, the Lykan Hypersport is the first supercar to be produced in the Middle East. At $3.4 million dollars, it is the third most expensive car ever made behind the Lamborghini Veneno ($4.5 million) and the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita ( $4.8 million). With only 7 expected to be produced, the Hypersport is also among the rarest. Housing a 3.7L flat six motor with an estimated 750 horsepower that can go a top speed of 239mph, the Hypersport certainly brings power and speed to the table, but it’s the added options that bring up the price tag. Options like diamonds, rubies, yellow diamonds, and sapphires integrated into the headlights, which are made up of titanium LED blades containing 420 diamonds, or the leather interior featuring gold stitching. Each unit sold also comes with a special edition Cyprus Klepcys watch worth over $200,000 so you can wear a piece of your car wherever you go. A Lykan Hypersport was featured in the most recent Fast and the Furious film.









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.
