    The top ten most expensive cars in the world

    Remember how that old saying goes, if you have to ask you probably cant afford it. Well,thats exactly what weve got going on here.

    The following is a list of the top ten most expensive cars in the world. Weve combed the globe

    for the finest and most exotic automotive specimens that can zap your bank account faster thanthey can dash to 60 mph from a dead stop.

    And lets face it, the majority of us will never see these cars in the flesh, let alone own one, butthat doesnt mean we cant all appreciate (and dream a little) some of the finest and fastest piecesof automotive artwork the world has to offer.

    Just a heads up, weve excluded classic cars that are being sold at auctions and are widelyunavailable.

    Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines

    10. McLaren F1 $970,000

    The cheapest car on this list might just be one of the greatest.

    Even though it debuted back in 1992, the McLaren F1 remains one of the fastest and mostexpensive cars on the market. With a price tag just shy of $1M and a top speed of 240 mph, theF1 was the car plastered on the walls of speed freaks and gearheads growing up in the 90s andearly 2000s. McLaren even sought to make the F1 an everyday supercar with luxury amenities

    and seating for three (the driver sits up front and in the center). Mission accomplished.

    With only 106 ever made, they are as rare as they are beautiful. Just dont crash yours.

    9. McLaren P1 $1.1M

    One of two McLarens mentioned in this list, the P1 is as rare as it is impressive. An electricmotor attached to the back of a mid-mounted 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 work together to create 903horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque combined. Top speed is limited to 217 mph, with the P1making the stride from 0-60 in under three seconds.

    Getting your sweaty palms on one of these wont be easy, though, Only 375 are being made andno doubt a good chunk of them are already spoken for.

    9. Hennessey Venom GT $1.1M

    Were starting to question the sanity levels of the folks over at Hennessey PerformanceEngineering but because they keep building fire-breathing speed-slashers like the Venom GTSpyder, our paper-thin regard for the laws of good taste are simply blown away.

    They say everything is bigger in Texas and the Lone Star State-based tuning house is happy toprovide truth to that statement.

    The Venom GT is filled with enough horsepower to stretch across the Lone Star State itself,packing a mind-blowing 1,500 horsepower mined from a poisonous 7.0-liter twin-turbo V8engine. A zero to 60 time is pegged at two seconds while Hennessey claims a top speed of 287mph.

    8. Zenvo ST1 $1.2M

    Hailing from a country not renowned for its automotive industry, Denmarks Zenvo ST1 hascertainly changed all of that.

    Expensive ($1.2M) and exclusive (production is limited to only three cars per year) the ST1features both a turbocharged and supercharged 7.0-liter V8 under its angry hood, giving it a topspeed of 233 mph and a 0-60 time of three seconds. And you can even pronounce the name.

    7. Ferrari La Ferrari $1.3M

    Italian for the Ferrari, Maranellos long-awaited successor to the Enzo supercar is nothing shortof stunning. In fact, were starting to believe mere words do it little justice.

    Our awe aside, the $1.3M Italian stallion pumps out a hefty 789 horsepower and 516 lb-ft oftorque. Power output is increased further via an electric motor, boosting the LaFerrarishorsepower to 950 and 664 lb-ft of torque by way of its Kinetic Energy Recovery System(KERS), which is powered by an electric motor.

    If youre thinking of owning one of these babies you better act fast, only 499 units are beingmade and theyre likely to sell out fast.

    7. Pagani Huayra $1.3M

    Naming your car after the Incan God of Winds seems like a good start for any supercar, a factthe speed-obsessed folks over at Pagani must have known when first drawing up plans for theHuayra (why-rah).

    With a top speed of 230 mph, the latest from Pagani can travel almost as fast as the wind, and at$1.3M can empty out your bank account even faster.

    Under the svelte hood sits an AMG-sourced, 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 that happily cooks

    up 730 hp and 740 lb-ft of torque. The Huayra can sprint to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and as if thatwasnt enough, sports some breathtaking gullwing doors to boot.

    Mark us down for two.

    6. Koenigsegg Agera R $1.6M

    Forget the responsible, safe side (*cough* Volvo!) of Swedish automotive engineering; theKoenigsegg Agera Rss calling card has hair-raising performance and neck-snapping speedwritten all over it. Not exactly your typical Swedish bank vault on wheels.

    For $1.6M the Agera R sports a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that creates a kings ransom in torque,885 lb-ft to be precise, and an overwhelming amount of horsepower : 1,115!

    Racing from 0-60 takes less than three seconds (2.9) with a maximum top speed of 260 mph.Interestingly, the Agera R can actually hit 270 mph but in order to do so owners need to sign awaiver for the speedy Swedes to unlock the speed limiter. Where do we sign?

    5. Lamborghini Reventon $1.61M

    With a name that sounds more like an electric shaver than a supercar, but just like other Lambosbefore it, the Lamborghini Reventon hails from SantAgata Bolognese and takes its name from aprized Spanish fighting bull that fought during the 1940s.

    Only 20 copies have been produced and feature a 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 650 hp and478 lb-ft of torque. Top speed is pegged at 211 mpg while the sprint to 60 takes 3.4 seconds.

    At $1.6 million the Reventon is the second most expensive Lamborghini behind the ultra-rareVeneno, not including the track-only Sesto Elemento ($2.2M) and the concept Aventador J

    ($2.8M).

    4. Aston Martin One-77 $1.8M

    $1.8 million can get you a lot of stuff (use your imagination) but it can also get you exactly oneAston Martin One-77. The British supercar comes packing a 7.3-liter V12 engine that ever sopolitely (its British after all) spits out 750 hp and 533 lb-ft of torque. Top speed is clocked at220 mph while a 0-60 sprint takes 3.4 seconds.

    Yes, $1.8 million is a lot to ask but when youre Aston Martin and building only 77 examples ofthe car, it comes with the territory.

    4. Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster $1.8M

    Unfortunately, the Aston Martin One-77 has to share fourth place with another car. Fortunately,that car is the Zonda Cinque Roadster, made by Italian boutique automaker Pagani.

    So what does its $1.85 million price tag snag you? For starters, the Zonda Cinque wears a fullcarbon-fiber suit with a specially developed carbon-titanium chassis underneath. Weighing in at2,667 lbs, the Zonda Cinque is actuallyone pound lighter than a Mini Cooper S (2,668 lbs).However, its powered by 678 hp and 575 lb-ft of torque AMG-sourced V12 with a top speed of

    217 mph and a 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds, making it slightly faster than a Mini Cooper.

    Oh, and Pagani only built five of them, so happy hunting.

    3. Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse $2.6M

    If were going to talk about cars worth more than your life, then were gonna have to mentionBugatti at some point. The French-made hypercar is rocketed along by a 7.9-liter W16 enginethat belts out 1,200 hp and 1,106 lb-ft of torque. The car can sprint to 60 from a standstill in 2.6seconds and currently holds the record as the fastest open-top convertible with a top speed of 254mph. Its brother, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport remains the faster production car in the worldwith a top speed of 268 mph and can be had for a only $2.4M what a steal!

    Honorable Mentions:

    Maybach Exelero $8M

    While not a production car, the Maybach Exelero is the most expensive road-going car in theworld. Initially commissioned by Fulda Tires in 2005, only one was ever made and has since

    been sold to rapper Birdman. Apparently he got high and bought a rather expensive set ofwheels.

    Top speed is reported to be 218 mph with a reported 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds, courtesy of itstwin-turbo V12 engine.

    Lamborghini Sesto Elemento $2.2M

    Italian for sixth element the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento isnt even out yet and of the 20being made, all are already spoken for. Sorry.

    The other bad news: its not street legal in the U.S., meaning those folks in Merica who werefortunate enough to front the $2.2M bill can only enjoy them on the track. Oh, too bad!

    Ferrari Enzo $670,000

    Named after the companys founder, Enzo Ferrari, the Ferrari Enzo supercar is a 12-cylinder,mid-engine Italian nightmare on wheels. Only 400 copies were made between 2002 and 2004,making it an extremely rare, but oh-so-amazing, acquisition.

    Top speed is limited to 217 mph while a 0-60 dash takes 3.5 seconds.
