These are the 10 most expensive supercars in the world
Supercars and hypercars are the playthings of the rich and famous, but they’re being made ever-more popular by YouTube, Instagram, movies, music videos, and more.
Below, we’ll round up 10 of the priciest machines on four wheels available today, with the figures in Canadian dollars.
The Pagani Huayra Roadster B.C. is a piece of road-going art comprised of equal parts extreme style and extreme engineering. An AMG-sourced six-litre V-12 is force-fed cool air from twin intercooled turbochargers so it can churn out up to 800 horsepower and cover zero to 96 km/h in less than 3.0 seconds.
The Pagani Huayra RoadsterLightweight materials and motorsports-derived aerodynamics help dial up the handling, giving drivers the thrill ride of a lifetime from a machine that looks like nothing else on the road. This high-output piece of rolling art will set you back about CDN$4.6 million.
2. Aston Martin Valkyrie — $3.0 millionThe Aston Martin ValkyrieWith an emissions-legal 6.5-litre V-12 engine that redlines at a shrieking 10,500 rpm, the Aston Martin Valkyrie bridges the gap between traditional all-motor performance and an electrified future. The gasoline powerplant is joined to an electrification system that further boosts power and torque.
The result is 1,130 horsepower, on-demand torque, and zero-to-96-km/h sprints in 2.5 seconds. Extreme lightweight engineering and aerodynamics combine with unique assembly, which even sees the engine used as an integral part of the Valkyrie’s structure. Valkyrie is the culmination of Aston Martin’s performance history, and a nod to where it’s heading. This ultra-exclusive road-legal race car will relieve lucky owners of payments of about $50,000 a month.
3. Koenigsegg Jesko — $4.1 millionThe Koenigsegg JeskoFrom Sweden’s famed hypercar manufacturer Koenigsegg comes the Jesko. Named after the father of company founder Christian von Koenigsegg, Jesko puts over 1,500 horsepower to the road courtesy of a redesigned 5.0-litre V8 running twin turbochargers. A revolutionary new Light Speed Transmission maximizes thrust to the ground, and advanced aerodynamics create over 1,000 kg of downforce.
Menacing looks, crushing acceleration numbers, and extreme exclusivity come as part of the package. Look for zero to 96 km/h in 2.5 seconds, en route to a claimed terminal velocity approaching 480 km/h (300 miles per hour). This road-legal rocket ship is one of the world’s most extreme cars, and comes with an asking price north of four million dollars.
4. Bugatti Chiron — $4.7 millionThe Bugatti ChironFrom French automaker Bugatti comes the Chiron, built around an 8.0-litre 16-cylinder engine with four turbochargers and an output of 1,500 horsepower. This rolling technological showpiece pulls off zero to 96 km/h in under 2.5 seconds, and it’s earned a reputation as one of the world’s fastest and most beautiful cars.
The embodiment of a superiority complex, Chiron is designed to be the fastest, most powerful and most exclusive super-sports car in the brand’s history. It carries a price tag to match: the starting sticker is around $4.7 million.
5. Mercedes-AMG One — $3.7 millionThe Mercedes-AMG OneWith an F1-derived 1.6-litre hybrid V6 engine with over 1,000 street-legal horsepower, the Mercedes-AMG One demonstrates the peak of AMG’s expertise in speed and performance—combining the latest technologies from the world of combustion and battery power to deliver an electrifying experience for its very lucky owners.
With AWD, an electric turbocharger and four electric motors, massive torque is the name of the game. Flaunting a furious 11,000-rpm redline, the AMG One’s powertrain is about as close as it gets to driving an F1 car for the road.
6. McLaren Speedtail — $3.0 millionThe McLaren SpeedtailBuilt in part to commemorate the legendary McLaren F1 supercar from the nineties, the new McLaren Speedtail is an ultra-exclusive hybrid the manufacturer calls a “hyper GT.”
With weight savings via tech like electrochromic glass that mitigates the need for sun visors, extensive use of lightweight materials and the elimination of side mirrors in favour of a camera-feed system, the Speedtail leaves no stone unturned in its mission to be lithe and slippery through the air.
With over 1,000 horsepower enabling a top speed north of 400 km/h (250 mph), it’s even got the same three-seater configuration as the McLaren F1 that inspired it. Production is very limited, and will see just over 100 lucky owners receive units globally.
7. Lotus Evija — $3.0 millionThe Lotus EvijaFrom iconic English automaker Lotus, it’s the Evija, complete with radical styling and some of the most uniquely sculpted bodywork on the road.
A pure EV, its four electric motors generate a combined 1,970 horsepower. And since it’s a Lotus, it’s also simple and lightweight, clocking in at around 1,700 kilograms. That translates to a power-to-weight ratio that enables zero-to-96-km/h passes in the sub-3.0-second range. Top speed? You’re clear for over 320 km/h (200 miles per hour).
Rapid charging tech built into the batteries lets owners make easy use of the Evija’s 400-km range per charge.
8. Rimac C_Two — $2.8 millionThe Rimac C_TwoCombining expertise in battery technology, motor drive systems, and lightweight materials deployed towards extreme speed, Croatian automaker Rimac is behind this striking C_Two electric hypercar. With four-wheel motors, 1,900 horsepower and zero-to-96-km/h times around 1.9 seconds, the C_Two is one of the most ferocious road cars ever built, and it doesn’t burn a drop of gasoline.
This exclusive electric comes with a sticker of about $2.8 million. For shoppers who find that figure too modest, there are plenty of ways to drive the price up further, with hundreds of thousands in optional add-ons.
9. Fenyr SuperSport — $2.6 millionThe W Motors Fenyr SuperSportFrom W Motors, the Fenyr SuperSport is a Lebanese-built hypercar capable of nailing 96 km/h from zero in 2.7 seconds, plus a 400-km/h (200-mph) top speed.
Fenyr is powered by a 4.0-litre flat-six turbo engine, tuned by legendary Porsche experts Ruf. With about 800 horsepower for motivation and monster ceramic brakes handling deceleration duty, the SuperSport is all about well-rounded performance wrapped up in striking looks, and backed by tremendous exclusivity—just 25 units are slated for production.
Best. Bugatti La Voiture Noire — $25.3 millionThe one-off Bugatti La Voiture Noir BugattiIt’s not surprising to see Bugatti on our list twice — this time, wrapping things up with a machine intended, simply, to be the most expensive and exclusive road car ever built.
The La Voiture Noir – or “the black car” – is the result of that mission. First, it’s the most expensive new car ever built. And second, Bugatti’s only making one of them. It’s already been sold, at an after-tax price of about $25.3 million Canadian dollars. And the lucky owner of this one and only design and engineering exercise in excess will have to wait over two years for their car to show up in their driveway with its sixteen cylinders, four turbochargers, and 1,500 horsepower.
