World expensive cars

 The most expensive car goes to 

1. Bugatti La Voiture Noire: $18.68 million

Bugatti takes home the trophy for the most expensive car in the world. Making its debut a year ago at the Geneva International Motor Show, the one-of-a-kind La Voiture Noire is priced at $18.68 million. The name of the car translates to The Black Car.  The new La Voiture Noire packs 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 pound-foot of torque that propels it from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. It has a quad turbo W-16 engine with a top speed of 261 mph.

The La Voiture Noire pays homage to the art deco design of the Type 57SC Atlantic, one of the most coveted classic cars in the world. The latter was designed in 1934 by Jean Bugatti, the eldest son of company founder Ettore Bugatti. Only four Type 57SC Atlantic were made. Three are accounted for while the fourth one, which was lost in World War II, would be valued at well over $100 million if found today

2. Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta: $17.5 million 

A surprise entry, the exotic car boasts of a 7.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, with a power of 789bhp. It also has a six-speed manual gearbox. In addition, it spots forged aluminum wheels—20-inch in the front and 21-inch in the rear. The rear wheel fairings are made from carbon fibre. Although roofless, the Zonda HP Barchetta has a roof scoop.

The beast was a brainchild of Italian sports car company Pagani Automobili, Horacio Pagani and debuted at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex, England. Interestingly, Pagani reserved one of the three HP Barchettas as a 60th birthday present to himself.

3. Rolls Royce Sweptail: $13 million 

The much revered Rolls Royce makes its entry at third spot, thanks to the swanky Sweptail. The car is the result of inspiration from "a special patron’s admiration" of his favourite cars of the early 20th Century, as well as many classic and modern yachts, Rolls Royce notes on its website. Apparently, it took nearly five years for the car manufacturer to deliver the bespoke design to a repeat client. 

Sweptail's owner initially put in the order for his unique car in 2013. Inspired by Rolls Royce classics from the 1920s, its sweeping lines remind of luxury cars of the 30s. Svelte tapering, an elegantly falling waist-rail, the flowing roofline and a distinctive swept tail are the distinctive features of Sweptail. With an abundance of polished macassar ebony and open-pore paldao for a dark-and-light interior color scheme, this Rolls has, in place of backseats, "an expansive length of wood called a Passarelle with an illuminated glass lip... and a hat shelf... where the keenest of observers will find the only place on the car that bears its name, Sweptail, embossed into the surface," says auto portal to car.com. However, that's not all! The centre console houses a push-button mechanism that deploys a chilled bottle of vintage champagne from the year of the owner’s birth, and two crystal flutes, perfectly positioned for occupants to pick up.

4. Bugatti Centodieci: $9 million 

Bugatti makes a re-entry here with its Centodieci. The name translates to the number 110 in Italian. The sculptural beauty coincided with Bugatti’s 110th year of inception. 

Bugatti created a reinterpretation of the epochal EB110, which, when presented in 1991, was considered the fastest and most extraordinary supercar of its time. The Chiron-based homage to the EB110 will be produced in limited numbers of 10.
