Top 10 Most Expensive Cars

There are so many different cars around these days, and the
general public only really knows about half of them. Everyone
knows about the regular car companies. People know all about
these car makers and they also know about the standards they can
expect from these companies. There are also other car companies
that most people know about, but only a half of the population
would ever have the finances to own one of their cars. The
general public only knows the name of these cars, and not much
about what makes them a quality vehicle.

After those two groups of cars, there is another group that
most of the population would never be able to afford, and most
people also do not know a lot about these cars. In fact, some
people may not even know that some of these cars even exist. The
cars I'm talking about are more than luxury cars, more than
sports cars, and more money than four or five "regular" cars put
together! Here are the top ten most expensive cars in the world:

Bugatti Veyron - With a price tag of $1,700,000, there aren't
too many people who you will see driving this vehicle around
town. With "1001" horsepower, this car has a 16.4 engine and it
can get up to a speed of 400 kilometers per hour. This car was
built by a subsidiary of Volkswagon in France, and it took years
to perfect.

Ferrari Enzo - This sports car costs 1,000,000, and is also
known as the Enzo Ferrari or the F60. It was built with Formula
One Technology in 2003. This car and its brand name basically
speaks for itself in the racing world.

Pagani Zonda C12 F - Weighing in at $741,000, this car is still
too expensive for the average person to own, and probably the
above average person as well! It sports a 7.3 V12 engine that
has been passed down by its predecessors.

Koenigsegg CCX - This sports car will cost you $600,910 to buy,
and it is worth every penny. The Competition Coupe X (CCX)
commemorates the anniversary of the completion and first test
drive of the first CC car in 1996. It has a 32 valve V-8 engine
that was based on the Ford Modular engine design.

Porsche Carrera GT - This car has a price tag of $484,000.
Labeled as a super car, this German made sports car has a 5.7
liter, V10 engine. It also boasts a 612 SAE horsepower.

Mercedes SLR McLaren - Weighing in at a price of $455,00, this
car is still too expensive to drive around town. The "SLR" in
its name stands for "Sportlich, Leicht, Rennsport", which is
German for "Sport; Light; Racing". This car has a 5.5, V8
engine.

Maybach 62 - This car will cost a more affordable $385,250.
This is also the first of the above listed vehicles that is not
a sports car. The Maybach 62 is known as an ultra-luxurious car,
and was designed with a hired driver in mind.

Rolls-Royce Phantom - This luxury car costs $320,00, and it is
one of he most well known brand names of the luxury car
business. The Phantom was made in 2003, and it was the first to
be made under the BMW name.

Lamborghini Murcielago - This sports car costs $279,900 to buy,
and is a lot more affordable than the above sports vehicles!
This car will definitely turn heads and has a 6.5 liter engine.

Aston Martin Vanquish - This super car will cost you $255,000
to buy, and it was featured as the official James Bond car in
one of his films. This sports car has a 5.5 liter V12 engine.

What makes these cars so expensive? A combination of things
contributes to the price tags of these vehicles. One part is the
years of work that went into designing and making them. Another
part would be the brand name of each car. Add to that the power
of the engines, and the style of the cars, and you have the
reason for the expensive price tags.
