Ten Cars More Expensive than Jets

These 10 exotic cars worth millions of dollars each are said to be more expensive that a private jet many people dream to buy.

Most expensive cars in the world

 

In recent times, cars have moved from being just a means of transportation to being a symbol of status and power used by the very wealthy and influential.

 

From the stupendously-rich monarch in the Middle-East, to wealthy business moguls in Europe and America, cars have become another means of showing off wealth.

 

Big names like Lamborghini, Aston Martin, 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. Some of these cars are more expensive than the most affordable Jet: the Cirrus Vision 5-seater jet which goes for $1.96 million.

 

In fact, the most expensive car in the world which goes for N3.9 billion ($13m), can buy 6 Cirrus Vision Jets. However, most of them are not available in the open market as there are only very limited quantity or they are manufactured on request. In fact there is only one of the most expensive car in the world and it would not be replicated.

Below is a list of 10 most expensive cars in the World:

 

Bugatti Chiron – $2.7m (N826 million)

This is one of the latest range of high priced cars made by Bugatti and it starts at around $2.7 million. However, prices are expected to reach $3 million in the least, long before it hits the market.

 

The Bugatti Chiron is hyped by its manufacturers and touted as the World’s most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production super sports car.

 

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 litre turbo-charged W-16, 1,500-horsepower engine is actually 300 more than the Super Sport, the fastest Veyron model.

 

Its top speed has been limited to 261 mph on the road, its actual top speed is yet to be tested.
