1. Maybach Exelero: $8,000,000
1. Maybach Exelero: $8,000,000
The most exclusive car on this list is also the most expensive. Reportedly worth $8 million dollars to US rap artist Bryan Williams aka “Birdman”, the Maybach Exelero is the only car on this list to be unique.
Despite weighing a not inconsiderable 2.6 tonnes, the Exelero is capable of moving between 0-60 in a frightening 4.4 seconds and its V12 twin turbo engine is fitted into a sizeable 20 ft frame.
The Exelero’s design was the product of a competition opened to students at the Pforzheim Polytechnic Department of Transport Design.
24-year-old Fredrik Burchhard produced the winning design and his concept was followed by the Maybach design centre in Sindelfingen, Germany before the one off vehicle was flown into the Birdman’s nest.
2.Bugatti Veyron Super Sports $2,400,000
Perhaps not surprising given that the base version of the Bugatti Veyron costs a cool $1,700,000 but the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is comfortably the world’s fastest, and second most expensive car.
Set into production in 2010, the Veyron Super Sports boasts a 267.856 mph top speed and an increase in engine power from the standard 1,001 to 1,200 PS. Combine this with an awe-inspiring 0-60 speed (2.5 seconds) and the astronomical price tag becomes a little bit more value for money.
Only 30 Veyron Super Sports have been set into production and for those keen on maintaining a sense of exclusivity, the list of Veyron Super Sports owners includes fashion lynchpin Ralph Lauren and rap artist Jay-Z.
3.Ferrari 599XX: $2,000,000
Comfortably the most expensive Ferrari ever made available to consumers, the 599XX was announced in 2011 to much fanfare.
Utilizing the Drag Reduction System (DRS)- the oft mentioned Formula 1 technology- the 599XX is not available to drive on roads, however the user is given a choice of six track events at which Ferrari personnel will be on hand to assist their thirst for speed.
Boasting a 0-60 time in under 2.9 seconds, the 599XX’s gearbox limits the top speed to an almost comprehensible 196 mph.
However it is the inclusion of a number of electronic driver aids that drives the 599XX’s price into the stratosphere and enables the user to maximise performance. The reduction in drag and downforce means that, regardless of how accomplished the driver, the electronic aids will always provide an edge in speed and lap times.
