Top 10 Most Expensive Cars
The most expensive car in the world costs US$19 million and it’s such a beauty! The mystery owner of this luxury sports car is rumored to be soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, or former Volkswagen Group CEO Ferdinand Piëch – but nobody really knows for sure.
Almost all of these pricey luxury cars on this top ten list are high performance super cars. Some are stunners in the looks department, while others are quite…uhm…an acquired taste to say the least.
These mind-boggling machines are definitely head turners, and that’s exactly what they’re were made for…to make random strangers gasp and gulp upon laying their eyes on them.
They’re extremely loud and flamboyant vehicles that are hard to miss. And do you know what’s really funny…all of these expensive cars on our countdown will increase in value over time, while the rest of us who drive ordinary vehicles have to deal with depreciation…yep, life’s not fair.
NOTE: For the sake of clarity, we left out classic cars bought at auctions, and we only considered the original purchase price of a vehicle.
