You Can Only Buy These Cars If You've Got More Money Than Croesus
If you love supercars, then you've come to the right place. Whether you would rather have an elegant Aston Martin, a gorgeous Ferrari, or something that screams "aggressive speed" like a Bugatti Veyron, they'll cost you a small fortune! Here are the world's most expensive production cars, you know, in case you've got a spare few million lying around to buy one.
McLaren Senna
Named after the infamous Ayrton Senna, the McLaren Senna debuted in 2018. It was crafted beautifully of carbon fiber by McLaren Motors of England and was the third in the "Ultimate" series, serving as the basis for other high-performance variants. It's powered by a 4.0L V8 twin-turbocharged engine that produces 789 hp. This beast's astonishing top speed is 211 mph. The price? A measly $900,000!
Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
This entrant might smash Alfa Romeo's history as a modest car maker into the supercar market: the 33 Stradale. Despite being originally released in the late 1960s, the 2023 facelift on the classic Alfa car finds much of its predecessor within it: flowing curves and lines reminiscent of the old 33. The Stradale's top speed is a staggering 207 mph from a 3.0L V6 or a tri-motor electric engine. The cost of the modern Stradale? A cool $1 million.
Aston Martin Valhalla
Aston Martin have produced many a beautiful car over the years, but they're renowned as the high-performance younger brother of Rolls-Royce when it comes to British car manufacturing. Maybe not anymore, though. Enter, the Aston Martin Valhalla. Powered by a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the Valhalla produces an extraordinary 1,064 hp and has a top speed of 217 mph. It also costs $1 million.

Aston Martin Valour
Another beautiful Aston Martin on our list is the Valour. Unlike the Valhalla, the Valour isn't a far cry from the classic-looking James Bond Astons. It's got a sculpted rectangular look with window louvers that are reminiscent of the 70s and 80s V8 Vantage. Unlike the Vantage, it's powered by an insane V12 engine that produces 715 hp, taking the Valour from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds and offering a top speed of 200 mph. Its cost? $1.5 to $2 million.
Czinger 21C
Americans might be renowned for their pony cars, but that doesn't stop them making supercars, too! Enter, the Czinger 21C. If you think you're looking at a jet aircraft with wheels, you're not wrong! The Czinger 21C has a bubble cockpit with tandem seating, just like a fighter jet. It also drives like one, rocketing from 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds and a G-Force-defying top speed of 253 mph (that's as fast as the Bugatti Veyron). It'll cost you only $1.7 million!
Gordon Murray Automotive T.33
Gordon Murray Automotive is a lightweight supercar builder from the UK, started by the same man who built the McLaren F1. The T.33 is reminiscent of a lightweight Ferrari coupe, based on a scaled-back design of the maker's debut car: the T.50. The T.33 has a top speed of 200 mph with a V12 engine built by Ford's Cosworth division. The opulence is staggering, but comes at a price of $1.7 million.
Hispano Suiza Carmen
From Britain to France, the all-electric Hispano Suiza Carmen is the car for those who love ridiculous supercars. It's the first car that Hispano-Suiza has built since the 1930s and the all-electric vehicle looks like something out of Batman. The dual-motor powertrain produces more than 1,000 hp and can be charged to 80% in half an hour. Costing $1.7 million, its top speed is 180 mph.
Koenigsegg Gemera
The Koenigsegg Gemera is our first entrant on this list from Sweden's premiere supercar brand. The Gemera offers a three-cylinder engine combined with three electric motors to produce an insane 2,400 hp. If you can get over the horses of this thing, it offers all-wheel drive and has room for four passengers. Costing $1.7 million, it debuted last year as a highly limited production run.

McLaren Elva
The McLaren Elva is something new from McLaren that wasn't rooted in their F1 history. The open-top sports car was inspired by Bruce McLaren's open-top racers of the 1960s. It was released in 2010 as the fifth car in the "Ultimate" series. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine, the Elva has a top speed of 203 mph. The Elva is on par with the Koenigsegg Gemera in price, also costing $1.7 million.
McLaren Senna GTR
If the Elva isn't quite to your liking, McLaren also offers the Senna GTR, an upgrade (somehow) to the bananas Senna mentioned above. It's got an aero package with a rear wing and an up-tuned twin-turbocharged V8 and racing gearbox. It's made for the track, with the engine screaming 814 hp on the way to a 210 mph top speed. It costs $1.8 million.
Hennessey Venom F5
Another American supercar: the Hennessey Venom F5. After Hennessey had fine-tuned other people's supercars, they decided to build one themselves! The Venom F5, aptly named after the most powerful tornado grade, features a twin-turbo 6.6L Fury V8 engine that produces a whopping 1,800 hp. Its top speed is purportedly 311 mph, making it the world's fastest production car, if it officially sets the record. Its cost can range from $1.8 million to $3 million, depending on the trim.

Bentley Speed Six Continuation
Bentley went back to their roots with the Speed Six Continuation that was unveiled in 2022 as a hand-built homage to the past, recreating Bentley's Le Mans winning car from 1929 and 1930. There are only 12 in existence and they're all powered by a 6.5L inline-six engine. The cost of the car is $2 million, hardly surprising given the special place in automotive history that the Bentley Speed Six holds.
SSC Tuatara
Tuatara is a species of reptile native to New Zealand. It's also the name of SSC North America's latest road-going extraordinaire of a sports car. Debuting in 2020, the Tuatara hit a top speed of 295 mph thanks to its 5.9L flat-plane V8 that cranks out 1,350 hp. Another $2 million car for a whole other reason than the Bentley Speed Six.
Bentley Mulliner Batur
Bentley used to be in the habit of making refined cars of ecstatic beauty. They still are, but with a much greater focus on performance rather than finesse. The Bentley Mulliner Batur is powered by a W12 engine that generates 730 hp and propels the Batur (the top-line Continental GT offering) to 209 mph. Its cost? $2.1 million.
Lotus Evija
Lotus is looking to revitalize its brand as one of Britain's premier sports car producers. To do that, it introduced the Evija, an all-electric supercar with a carbon-fiber body with aggression written all over it. The Evija is powered by four electric motors that somehow generate 2,011 hp and a top speed of 217 mph. The reincarnation of Britain's finest car will set you back $2.1 million.

McLaren W1
This sharply-styled McLaren is the latest in McLaren's "1 Series" of cars, preceded by the record-setting P1 and F1. Notably, McLaren has placed a hybrid powertrain in this supercar, combining a twin-turbocharged V8 engine with an electric motor to produce 1,275 hp, hit 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds, and reach a top speed of 213 mph. The W1 is a whopping $2.1 million.

Ferrari Daytona SP3
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 is a superb supercar, but it's also something of an "in your face" to American racing, where a Ferrari car won Daytona races, much to the chagrin of Henry Ford. In the modern era, the Daytona SP3 has gorgeous clean lines and is even available in a vibrant yellow paint. Powered by a 6.5L V12 engine that produces 829 hp, the Daytona SP3 has a top speed of 211 mph and will cost you $2.3 million.
Rimac Nevera
The Rimac Nevera has been setting records all over the place, despite the skepticism that electric supercars aren't practical or possible. The Croatian EV supercar is powered by a four-motor electric powertrain, which helped it to set 23 speed records in a single day, rocketing from 0 to 249 mph in 30 seconds. With an insane top speed of 258 mph, the Rimac Nevera will cost you $2.4 million.

Pagani Utopia
The Italian supercar manufacturer Pagani has been making crazy cars for the last 25 years. However, Utopia is one of their boldest in recent times. A streamlined design with doors that open outward and upward makes it pretty unique. A Mercedes-supplied V12 engine delivers 850 horsepower for a top speed of 228 mph. The Utopia may put you in heaven, but that comes at a cost of $2.5 million.

Pininfarina Battista
The all-electric Pininfarina Battista is what would happen if you downgraded the Rimac Nevera to be a little less brutish in its appearance. Powered by four motors that spit out 1,900 hp, the Pininfarina Battista was designed by the legendary Italian car design company named after Sergio Pininfarina. Its price is also ridiculous, at $2.5 million.
Rimac Nevera R
The "R" in the name might as well stand for "redesign", as that's what Rimac did with the Nevera. They added a rear spoiler and did some tuning to the four-motor powertrain, including a "performance-oriented battery system" that gives it an even more ridiculous 2,107 hp. It will rocket from 0 to 60 in just 1.74 seconds, making it the world's first production car to accelerate faster than it brakes. The high-performance Nevera R is an eye-watering $2.5 million.

Gordon Murray Automotive T.50
It almost looks like a McLaren F1, but it's actually the debut supercar from Gordon Murray Automotive. One of the most aerodynamic road cars ever is powered by a V12 Cosworth engine that delivers 615 hp and has a top speed of 226 mph. The T.50 is just a hair more expensive than the Rimac Nevera R, costing $2.6 million.
Mercedes AMG One
This (surprisingly) street-legal plug-in hybrid is one of the best yet from Mercedes' AMG hypercar division. The AMG One has a massive rear spoiler and other trappings that make it scarily aerodynamic. Packing a 1.6L V6 and four electric motors, the AMG One has a top speed of 219 mph and a stunning price of $2.7 million.

Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution
The successor to the Venom F5, the Revolution was unveiled in 2023. It still features the twin-turbo 6.6L V8 and now weighs less than 3,000 pounds, meaning it could be the world's first supercar to break 300 mph. Hennessey claims it can go 328 mph, but putting that to the test will cost you $3 million.

Koenigsegg Jesko
Next in the $3 million club is the Koenigsegg Jesko. With swooping lines, outrageous color options, and a twin-turbocharged V8, complete with a targa top and dihedral doors (doors that open outward and then up), it's no wonder the Jesko costs so much.
Pagani Huayra R Evo
Another outrageously priced car from Pagani is the Huayra R Evo, a track-only car that's available in a beautiful gold/white color palette. Buying an engine from Mercedes AMG (again), the Huayra's 6.0L V12 now produces 900 hp after a re-working from the geniuses in Italy. Good thing too, because the Huayra R Evo will cost more than $3 million.
Aston Martin Valkyrie
The Aston Martin Valkyrie is a completely crazy car from Aston Martin. It's such a departure from Aston's standard-fare grand touring luxury that you'd think they were mad for making it. But here we are: the Valkyrie, featuring a naturally-aspirated V12 engine combined with an electric motor to produce a staggering 1,160 hp at a cost of $3.2 million.

Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut
The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut's full name should be "Absolutely Crazy," because it is. The carbon-fiber body has been completely redesigned for aerodynamics, while still being powered by the same twin-turbocharged 5.0L V8 engine. The Absolut is also absolutely expensive, costing $3.4 million.

Pagani Huayra Roadster BC
If you happen to have access to, or perhaps own a racetrack, then the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC is the car you've been searching for. Despite the name, the Roadster BC isn't road-legal; it's Pagani's track-variant of the Huayra that produces over 1,100 pounds of downforce. The 6.0L V12 pushes the Huayra to a 238 mph top speed and a cost of $3.5 million.

Koenigsegg CC850
Not to be outdone by the Italians, the Swedes reimagined the Koenigsegg CC8S—the company's very first car—to produce the CC850. Similar to the OG Koenigsegg in design and shape, the CC850 is powered by Jesko's 5.0L twin-turbo V8 engine. It's a limited-edition car, with the first 20 selling out immediately. At a cost of $3.7 million, there's only a few people on Earth who wouldn't bat an eye at the price tag.

Ferrari F80
Breaking into the top 10 as only Ferrari can is the Ferrari F80. The 288GTO-like appearance of the F80 is totally blown away by its hybrid powertrain, pairing a 4.0L V6 engine with three electric motors. The combination produces 1,184 hp, making it the most powerful Ferrari ever to hit the road. If you want to own the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever, you're looking at shelling out $3.9 million.
Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 Niki Lauda
The "Niki Lauda" upgrade to the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 sees some sweeping changes to improve aerodynamics, including a giant rear spoiler and a more lightweight construction, which sheds 300 pounds from its overall weight. The "Niki Lauda" version of the T.50 will also set you back $3.9 million.
McLaren Solus GT
If the McLaren Solus GT sounds familiar to you, then you may have played Gran Turismo way back in 2007, because that's where the car first appeared. That's right, McLaren literally built a car that was first in a video game. It looks like a Star Wars starfighter and it costs $4 million.
Bugatti Tourbillon
The Bugatti Tourbillon was released in June of last year, featuring an absurd design that channels the best of both the Veyron and Chiron, with sweeping lines, an airy front grille and, of course, a wild powertrain. A naturally-aspirated 8.3L V6 engine provides enough power to propel the Tourbillon to 60 mph in two seconds flat. The Tourbillon costs $4.1 million.
Aspark Owl
The most unique-looking entry on our list is the first Japanese hypercar: the Aspark Owl. It looks like somebody took a supercar and stretched it, then gave it a rear spoiler that resembles a bat wing. At a cost of $4.2 million, the Aspark Owl is one of the most expensive hypercars ever, but has yet to be unveiled to the public, three full years after its initial production deadline.

Bugatti Bolide
Bugatti is back on the scene with the Bolide. A track-only car that made its debut at Le Mans in 2023, the Bolide is powered by a W16 engine that churns out 1,578 hp, and at just over 3,000 pounds, its power-to-weight ratio is nearly two hp/lb. Astonishing. Of course, that kind of car will cost dearly: $4.3 million, to be exact.
Bugatti Mistral
The Mistral debuted last year and was the latest in the long, long line of luxury hypercars from Bugatti. The road-going Mistral, unlike its track-based cousin the Bolide, is based on the Bugatti Chiron but adopts a more muscular stance. Featuring the trademark W16 engine, the Mistral produces a staggering 1,500 hp and will cost you $5 million.
Red Bull RB17
Red Bull has been winning racing championships for a while, but the RB17 is the first consumer-grade racecar put together by the racing behemoth. The RB17 has a staggering 4.5L V10 engine (with hybrid assist) that takes you up to 15,000 rpm. You can make 1,200 hp from the electric powertrain and go from 0 to 60 in under three seconds. Of course, that'll cost you: a whopping $6 million.
Pagani Huayra Codalunga
The Huayra Codalunga was the end of an era for Pagani. So, they went out with a bang, naturally. The hard lines of the Huayra were replaced with softer, gentler lines that reminded everyone of the 1960s racers. A twin-turbocharged 6.0L V12 from Mercedes gave the Codalunga a huge boost and a huge price tag. At $7 million, it's the world's most expensive hypercar. But only topped by...
Rolls-Royce Droptail
The Rolls-Royce Droptail is officially the most expensive car in the entire world. Introduced in April 2023, the Droptail is set to be released in four different variations, but combines the best elements of a luxury yacht and hot rods, including the use of wood trim, a space-frame aluminum chassis, and a V12 engine. The cost of the Droptail is rumored to be about $32 million. That's right. $32 million. Thirty. Two. Million. Dollars. Absolutely wild.
