Cars can be said to be more than just a means of transportation. Cars can be a statement of status and a symbol of wealth. Car collectors are willing to spend a lot of money on these cars regardless of price because, to them, they are works of art.
The list of most expensive cars globally is filled with limited edition models and exclusive vehicles. It’s no surprise that most of these cars will spend more time in the showroom or garage than on the road.
Therefore, here is a list of the 5 most expensive cars in the world:
1. Mercedes-Benz Exelero
The Mercedes-Benz Exelero is a unique vehicle. The Exelero was created in 2004 by Fulda, the German division of Goodyear, as a car to test new tires. Mercedes based the Exelero on a Maybach chassis and equipped it with the same twin-turbo V12 engine that produces 690 hp and 1,020 Nm of torque.
This supercar was originally priced at $8 million (around IDR 114.7 billion) but today it costs more than $10 million (around IDR 143.4 billion).
2. Bugatti Centodieci
Centodieci itself first appeared at Pebble Beach car week last year. Limited to just 10 units, this car is a modern descendant of the Bugatti EB110. In addition, this hypercar was launched with the intention of celebrating Bugatti’s 110th anniversary.
Its unique design language does not make everyone like this hypercar, but still, this car is a rare car that is luxurious and has a fantastic price. Priced at $9 million (around IDR 129.0 billion), the Centodieci is one of the most exclusive cars Bugatti has ever made.
3. Rolls-Royce Sweptail
Rolls-Royce itself takes two of the top five spots on this list, with the Sweptail, which was first launched in 2017, coming in at number three. The price tag was fantastic, amounting to $13.0 million (around Rp. 186.4 billion) at the time of its debut, this car was the most expensive debut car ever.
Even though it has been expensive since it first debuted, this luxury car with a power output of 453 hp is still a favorite.
4. Bugatti La Voiture Noire
In fourth place is the Buggati La Voiture Noire. This hypercar comes with a quad-turbo 8 liter W16 engine which produces 1479 hp of power and 1600 Nm of torque. This most expensive hypercar from Bugatti comes with six exhaust tips. La Voiture Noire can be said to be a tribute to the history of the legendary Buggati.
There is nothing else to say other than that this car represents the spirit of Bugatti, namely speed, aesthetics, luxury and technology. This all-black hypercar is priced at $18.7 million (around Rp. 268.2 billion).
5. Rolls-Royce Boat Tail
As the successor to the Sweptail, the Boat Tail has a unique two-tone exterior, high-end finishes inside, and even a “hosting suite” complete with a champagne refrigerator and Rolls-Royce’s iconic built-in sun umbrella. Rolls-Royce itself has not officially announced the price of this car, but it is estimated that the Boat Tail will be priced at $28.0 million (around Rp. 401.6 billion). This price inevitably makes the Boat Tail the most expensive car ever made.
