Opulent Automotive Journey - Most costly automobiles in the world: these vehicles are priced up to a staggering 26 million euros.
Here's the rephrased text:
Great news! Not a single new car comes close to the hefty price tag of the priciest classic cars (details here). The downside? Even aficionados of flashy sports cars, custom-built models, and limited editions need a hefty sum in their pockets when it comes to new cars. None of the cars in this picture collection cost less than three million Euro, and that's still considered a bargain.
Rolls-Royce leads the unofficial rank, while Bugatti holds the probable official title
The most expensive car in the world at the moment is the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail (more info here). With a staggering price of 26 million Euro, its owner, the son of a pearl factory owner, reportedly shelled out an eye-watering amount. However, Rolls-Royce, the luxurious car brand, keeps mum about the actual price, so it's not an officially confirmed record. The same goes for the "La Rose Noire Droptail." A price of 30 million Euro is rumored for this vehicle, but it's not confirmed either.
On the other hand, the black Bugatti "La Voiture Noire," an exclusive piece, is believed to have an official title. According to verified reports, it was sold for eleven million Euro (pre-tax), but various sources claim a final price of around 16.7 million Euro. The car is currently based in Switzerland and has been spotted with a Zurich license plate.
Another car costing at least as much is the Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta, which marks the end of the iconic Pagani model series. Only three without-a-roof cars are said to exist, one of which belongs to the company founder himself. The price: allegedly 15 million Euro.
Other cars with a nine-figure price tag include the Rolls-Royce Sweptail and the Bugatti Centodieci. All other cars cost less than ten million.
The fastest car in the world isn't the most expensive
For instance, the fastest car in the world, officially, is the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, which set the record on the Volkswagen test track Ehra-Lessien on August 2, 2019, with a speed of 490.48 kilometers per hour.
Unfortunately, Koenigsegg's contender, the Jesko, missed its chance. The Jesko (pictured in this collection for around three million Euro) has a sibling model named "Absolut," which is rumored to reach 531 kilometers per hour. However, this high-speed drive couldn't be confirmed due to the unavailability of appropriate tracks for such speeds. Volkswagen apparently didn't make its in-house test track available for this purpose.
These records are shattered by the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, the priciest new car in the world, which manages with 460 PS and offers a unique picnic setup instead. It remains to be seen if there's much left to savor after shelling out that kind of cash for the car.
