TOP 5 EXPENSIVE CARS IN THE WORLD 2021

In this article we are going to see about most 5 expensive cars in the world.

• Bugatti La Voiture Noire -  $19 million(INR 14.13 CRORE)

According to Bugatti, their vintage Type 57 SC Atlantic reflects the marque's "pioneering spirit, passion for perfection and the desire to continually redefine its limits". As such, Bugatti drew inspiration from the old Type 57 when creating La Voiture Noire - or "the Black Car" (we reckon it sounds better in French). One of the four Atlantics ever built has been missing since World War Two - and La Voiture Noire is an homage to that car.

 

At $18.68 million, La Voiture Noire has the biggest price tag of any car, ever. Only one will ever exist, and more than two years after it was sold, it still hasn’t left the production line!

 

La Voiture Noire packs a 1,500 horsepower engine that pushes it to speeds of up to 261mph.

 

“We produced a true one-off, a single unit car that we call automotive haute couture,” said Achim Anscheidt, Bugatti’s design director. “It’s not just a car anymore, it’s really more like a piece of art in line with the highly exclusive fashion and luxury brands in France.”

The car, which is being built at Bugatti's ancestral home in Molsheim, France, features an 8-litre, 16-cylinder engine develops 1,103 kW/1,500 PS and 1,600 Newton-metres of torque. It also boasts no fewer than six tailpipes, adding to the glamorous over-the-top nature of this most unique of vehicles.

• Rolls-Royce Sweptail  -  $13 million(INR 96.76 CRORE)

The Rolls-Royce Sweptail is another one-off car, and one that also draws inspiration from the finer things in life. Giles Taylor, director of design at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, described the Sweptail as "the automotive equivalent of Haute couture" - talking in much the same terms as Bugatti.

 

The Sweptail was also inspired by the coach building of the 1920s and 1930s, and was commissioned at the request of an aircraft and superyacht specialist who had a special idea. However, the base design for the car was the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé.

 

Costing $12.8 million in 2017, the Sweptail took four years to build and at the time it was finished it was the most expensive car of all time. Just two years later it was supplanted by Bugatti's La Voiture Noire, listed above. However, it is still regarded as the most unique and expensive Rolls Royce ever built.

• Bugatti Centodieci   -  $8.9 million(INR 66.25 CRORE)

We know what you're thinking: "Bugatti doesn’t really have an entry-level model, does it?"

 

But among the super-rich, the Centodieci ("110" in Italian), might represent something of a bargain, relatively speaking.

 

This one is also based on an older model - the 1987 EB110, well-loved for its "decent" 20mpg, and, more genuinely, for the fact it could travel more than 500 miles on a single tank.

 

The Centodieci successfully reflects the blistering acceleration of the old EB110, only more so - as you might expect. It can manage 0-124 mph in just 6.1 seconds - 0.4 seconds faster than the Chiron, on which it is based.

 

Everything about this aggressive-looking vehicle screams “look at me”, including the five rounded air-intakes shaped like a diamond; 8 taillights, quad exhausts; and a very limited production run. Just 10 will be produced, with deliveries from the Molsheim factory due to take place in 2021.

• Mercedes-Benz Maybach Exelero - $8 million(INR 59.55 CRORE)

This one-off Batman-esque sports car was built by Italian car firm Stola, in collaboration with  DaimlerChrysler. It was made to show off the Carat Exelero tyre range from Goodyear, whose subsidiary Fulda commissioned it. And while all these big names sound impressively complicated, the final design was completed by four students from Pforzheim University of Applied Sciences in the Black Forest, Germany. The only stipulation was that the car must reach 217 mph in order to test out the tyres fully.

 

Despite being unveiled at the Tempodrom in Berlin in 2005, the Exelero remains one of the world’s most costly cars. It features a twin turbo V12 engine, mounted at 60º, which produces 700 PS (690 hp; 515 kW). The interior is suitably plush, with dark and red leather, neoprene, shiny black carbon fiber, and aluminum accents.

Maybach is now a part of the Mercedes-Benz division of Daimler AG, but the marque has had an illustrious history. It manufactured almost all the engine used in German tanks during World War Two, including the Panzer I, II, III, IV and V, the Tiger I and II.

• Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita  -   $4.8 million(INR 35.73 CRORE)

When the sunlight hits the carbon fibre of the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, it sparkles as if millions of diamonds are in the body; Trevita means "three whites" in Swedish. Before the CCXR, carmakers only had access to black carbon fibre weave, but Koenigsegg developed a new process to make the material white.

 

Because the process of manufacturing the white body shell was so laborious, Koenigsegg decided they would only make two. One supposes they could have built it using black carbon fibre then covered it in sparkling white paint - but then they wouldn’t be able to charge millions of dollars for it!

 

Purportedly a Trevita was bought by Floyd Mayweather for $4.8m. It's V8 engine boasts 1,018hp and it can reach at least 254 mph. It’s not clear who purchased the second model.
