Most Expensive Luxury Car: Maybach Exelero

In 2000, Ferdinand Piech, chairman of Volkswagen announce that their Bugatti Veyron will go into production and will be the world's fastest, most powerful and most expensive car in history, at least for a road legal car.

It indeed became what he said, it is the world's fastest, most powerful road legal car, but it already its title as the world's most expensive car. Last year Bugatti Veyron cost $1.4 million and this year it is already priced at a whopping $2M. Think that's high? Then hold on tight for this video, watch it, fell in love with it, and be shocked at how high its price is.

The car you've just seen is a Maybach Exelero. Perhaps if you are a Jay-Z fanatic, you can recognize that car. It was used in one of his videos.

Maybach Exelero is priced at an enormous amount of $7.8 million! Almost four folds of the Veyron's price. I'm pretty sure I will never even have the chance to ride one of those in my entire life.

Everything in the Exelero's body were all hand assembled. No machines were used in constructing it to achieve the maximum quality. We all know how expensive Maybach cars are, but this one does it to its highest level.

It might not match Veyron's power and speed, but who needs a super speedy car when you have the world's most expensive?

Fastest and Most Expensive Motorcycle: Dodge Tomahawk

Fastest Motorbike

Wanna know what's the fastest motorbike? Well, it's the Dodge Tomahawk, a prototype with an unusual design, featuring the 500 hp (373 kW) 8.3 L V10 engine from the Dodge Viper. The motorcycle has two front wheels and two rear wheels to aid in turning and stability at highest rate of speed.

There's only one problem. This motorcycle cannot be legally driven on public roads. According to a Chrysler official, it was designed as a "rolling sculpture," but since the makers sold nine replicas through Neiman Marcus, for up to $555,000 each, there are a few happy owners who enjoy it on private roads.


The Dodge Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of nearly 400 mph. The weirdest thing about it is the fact that it's got four wheels, two in the front and two in the back, closely packed, which make it look like it rolled out the set of a sci-fi movie. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension.

The four wheels were necessary to handle the power from the huge engine, that gives out 500 bhp at 5600 rpm and a huge 525 lb.-ft of torque. The V10 has a 505 cubic inches (8277 cc) displacement and is liquid-cooled, with a maximum speed of 6000 rpm.

It's a true monster, deeper and more rumbling than most motorcycles, that can only drink 93 octane unleaded premium gasoline.

According to the official specs 0-60 mph times have been estimated at 2.5 seconds, with an estimated top speed of 300+ mph. But there are also reports that the top speed is 676 km/h (about 420 mph). Dodge has expressed interest in one day taking it to the Bonneville salt flats for a speed test, but as of yet has not.

Although most "mortals" will never experience driving such a monster, it's most definitely the ultimate pimped-out ride.

Most Expensive Production Car: Bugatti Veyron

What is the most expensive car in the world? The 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe was sold for $8,700,000 in 1987. However, that car and many alike will not be included in this list because it is not available on the market today. It is hard to imagine someone would actually spend 8 million dollars on a car instead of using it for something more productive. However, if you have the money and the opportunity, you will definitely spend a small fraction of it to place a few of these supercars in your garage. Here is the 10 most expensive cars available on the market.

Bugatti Veyron: $1,192,057. This is by far the most expensive street legal car available on the market today. It is the fastest accelerating car reaching 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. It claims to be the fastest car with a top speed of 253 mph+. However, the title for the fastest car goes to the SSC Ultimate Aero which exceed 253 mph pushing this car to 2nd place for the fastest car.

Endowed with W16 engine-16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders fed by four turbochargers, a dual-clutch DSG computer-controlled manual transmission, the Veyron has a length is 4462 mm (175.8 in) a wide of 1998 mm (78.7 in) and hight of 1206 mm (47.5 in). Counting a sum of 10 radiators, for the engine cooling system, for transmission oil, a heat exchanger for the air to liquid intercoolers, for engine oil etc., the car has a power to weight ratio of 529 bhp/tonne.

If we talk about performance we are dazzled by this supercars power to reach 200 and 300 km/h (124 and 186 mph) in 7.3 and respectively 16.7 seconds, wining for herself the name of the quickest-accelerating production car in history. If we count the fact that the top speed of Bugatti Veyron is 253.2 miles per hour (407.5 km/h), a speed limited electronically to prevent tire damage (it can run even faster) we can understand why this spectacular car must consume 40.4 L/100 km (4.82 mpg) when it`s running at top speed and in city driving 24.1 L/100 km.
A model drove by superstars like Tom Cruise, couldn`t name itself cheap, rising the Bugatti Veyron at least of 1 000 000 dollars, a price that measures it`s quality. Many new designs has been released since 2006, the color might have changed, but the speed and power remain the same.
