MOST EXPENSIVE CAR IN WORLD

BY: JEFF PEREZ, Senior Editor

Bugatti's $12.5-million-dollar La Voiture Noire takes its place among the most expensive new cars ever sold.

Bugatti pulled the cover off its bespoke La Voiture Noire at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Outside of an outrageous exterior, highlighted by an aggressive front fascia, quad exhaust tips, and a massive illuminated "Bugatti" badge out back, the La Voiture Noire is the most expensive new car ever. With a selling price of $18.7 million (and an asking price of $12.5 million), it snubs its nose at other less-expensive one-offs.

But if the Bugatti La Voiture Noire is now the most expensive new car, what vehicles does it surpass? Well, one-offs from Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz aren't far behind in price, and even some of the La Voiture Noire's siblings make the list. Take a look at our list of the 10 most expensive new cars ever.

WHAT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE CAR IN THE WORLD? As in the case of the most expensive watches, one of the most important factors affecting the price of a car is the brand. Supercars from Bugati, Pagani, Ferrari, McLaren – always cost lot of money, even if we’re talking about standard models. But the most expensive cars are always have limited series. As a rule, auto brands make very limited (sometimes up to 10 cars) series of a cars with exclusive options – and these cars are the champions in price. MOST EXPENSIVE CARS COMPARISON (DATA FOR 2019): Car Year Engine Horsepower Max Speed Price Rolls Royce Sweptails 2017 6.75 L V12 453 hp 150 mph $13 million Koenigsegg Ccxr Trevita 2006 4.7 L V8 (twin supercharged gasoline/ethanol) 1004 hp 254 mph $4,8 million Lamborghini Veneno 2013 6.5 L L539 V12 740 hp 221 mph $4,5 million McLaren P1 LM 2013 3.8 L twin-turbocharged M838TQ V8 1000 hp 147 mph $3,6 million Lykan HyperSport 2013 3.7 L twin-turbocharged flat-six 780 hp 240 mph $3,4 million Bugatti Veyron Mansory Vivere 2005 8.0 L 1200 hp 253 mph $3,4 million Aston Martin AM-RB 001 2018 6.5 litre Cosworth naturally-aspirated V12 1000 hp 250 mph $3,2 million Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio 2013 4.5 L Ferrari F136 F V8 570 hp 198 mph $3 million Pagani Huayra 2012 370 cu in (6.0 L) AMG bi-turbo M158 V12 790 hp 230 mph $2,8 million Bugatti Chiron 2016 8.0 L (488 cu in) quad-turbocharged W16 1500 hp 261 mph $2,7 million   10. BUGATTI CHIRON – $ 2.7 MILLION Heirs to the Veyron supercars, Bugati’s latest is quite high-priced and starts at around $2.7 million based on the present exchange rates. However, prices are expected to reach $3 million in the least, long before it hits the market. Touted as the ‘world’s most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production super sports car’ by the manufacturers, it is the vision of former VW czar Ferdinand Piech, who demanded the fastest cars from Bugatti. So now here is a car handmade in an atelier, faster, more advanced and more powerful than the Veyron. It is a fine example of the collusion of aerospace and automotive engineering to produce a classic device that could give a speed of 268 mph. The 8.0 liter turbo-charged W-16, 1,500-horsepower engine is actually 300 more than the Super Sport, the fastest Veyron model. While its top speed has been limited to 261 mph on the road, its actual top speed is yet to be tested.

A car is not just a mode of conveyance, but also a piece of art cherished, often decades after its production. Big names like Lamborghini, Aston Martin and of course, Rolls Royce often come at very high prices and are only meant for rich collectors as many of them are often sold out before they reach the public. While most of the cars listed here are wildly out of the reach for most, it is a sheer pleasure just to look at them. However, it is often difficult to prepare such a list because the manufacturers often keep the price under the wraps and preserve them for potential customers only. And it so happens that when they end up in auctions, their prices are set way above the original. So here you go with the most expensive luxury cars of 2019 existing at present. Have fun reading!
