Owning the pinnacle of automotive excellence often requires a significant investment, especially in the realm of luxury cars. While some impressive vehicles can be found for under $100,000, truly exceptional automobiles—hypercars, luxury saloons, and super SUVs—demand a substantial financial commitment. These cars seamlessly blend breathtaking design with cutting-edge performance, neither of which comes cheap. The extensive research, development, and meticulous craftsmanship involved in their creation often result in price tags exceeding the cost of a luxurious home—or even three, in some cases.
This curated list presents the 50 most expensive cars currently in production, showcasing the offerings of renowned manufacturers such as Ferrari, Koenigsegg, McLaren, Bugatti, and Rolls-Royce. While acquiring one of these automotive masterpieces requires a considerable outlay, the unparalleled experience behind the wheel undoubtedly justifies the investment.
Lamborghini’s successor to the Huracán, the Temerario, boasts a powerful V-8 engine, exceeding the performance of its V-10 predecessor. This twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter engine is augmented by three electric motors, similar to those in the Revuelto. This hybrid powertrain delivers an impressive 907 hp, significantly surpassing the 631 hp of the Huracán Performante. Combined with a sleek exterior and a surprisingly spacious cabin, the Temerario represents a thrilling advancement in supercar design.

Rolls-Royce elevates the SUV to new heights of luxury with the Cullinan, named after the largest gem-quality diamond ever discovered. This SUV seamlessly integrates the brand’s hallmark luxury and comfort. Introduced in 2018, the Cullinan resembles a larger, more commanding Phantom, featuring an extended roofline. The opulent cabin offers all the expected Rolls-Royce amenities with enhanced spaciousness. The Black Badge variant boasts a twin-turbocharged V-12 engine generating 591 hp and 664 ft lbs of torque.
Debut: 2019 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 engine Power: 592 hp and 664 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 4.5 seconds Top Speed: 155 mph
48 Ferrari 12Cilindri: $430,000 to $475,000
While all Ferraris are exceptional, the 12Cilindri stands out as the brand’s flagship V-12 grand tourer. In an era of electrification, the 12Cilindri embodies a nostalgic return to classic automotive design. Its athletic yet sophisticated design houses a powerful 6.5-liter V-12 engine producing 819 hp and 500 ft lbs of torque, propelling the two-seater from zero to 62 mph in under three seconds.
Debut: 2024 Powertrain: 6.5-liter V-12 Power: 819 hp and 500 ft lbs of torque Zero to 62 mph: 2.9 seconds Top Speed: 211 mph

44 Ferrari SF90 Stradale: $524,815 to $575,445
The Ferrari SF90 Stradale marks a significant departure for the brand as its first plug-in hybrid and all-wheel-drive sports car. Its bold, angular design complements its exceptional performance. With a combined output of 986 hp, including 769 hp from its twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8, the SF90 Stradale is a defining car of its era. The convertible version offers identical performance capabilities.
Debut: 2019 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 and three electric motors Power: 986 hp and 590 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.0 seconds Top Speed: 155 mph
43 Aston Martin Vantage GT3: $726,000
The Aston Martin Vantage GT3, the racing counterpart of the Vantage, boasts extensive modifications for endurance racing. Featuring a roll cage, enhanced suspension, and an aerodynamic package, this track-focused car is powered by a detuned twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8, producing between 500 and 600 hp, adhering to GT3 regulations.
Debut: 2024 Powertrain: Twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 Power: 536 hp and 516 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 3.4 seconds Top Speed: 202 mph
42 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale: $840,000 to $930,000
The Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale represents a heightened version of the SF90 Stradale. This limited-edition variant, also available as a roadster, showcases enhanced aerodynamics, a refined electronic system, and an upgraded hybrid powertrain generating 1,016 hp. This allows for a zero to 60 mph acceleration in a mere 2.3 seconds.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 and three electric motors Power: 1,016 hp and 593 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.2 seconds Top Speed: 199 mph

This next-generation supercar features a distinctive design and a hybrid powertrain combining a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 with three electric motors. This configuration delivers a remarkable 1,001 hp and 793 ft lbs of torque.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: 6.5-liter V-12 and two electric motors Power: 1,001 hp and 793 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds Top Speed: 217 mph
40 McLaren Senna — $900,000
Photo : McLaren
When McLaren decided to name its third Ultimate Series model after the late Ayrton Senna, it set expectations sky-high. Luckily, the Senna has more than lived up to them in the five years since its introduction. The limited-run supercar—which has served as the basis for several high-performance variants—stands out among the company’s lineup, thanks to a commanding, but still aerodynamic, design and potent twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8. That mill is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and can produce 789 hp and 590 ft lbs of torque.
Debut: 2018 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 Power: 789 hp and 590 ft lbs of torque Zero to 62 mph: 2.8 seconds Top Speed: 211 mph
39 W Motors Fenyr SuperSport — $1.4 Million
Photo : W Motors
The first seven-figure sports car on this list is the suitably absurd Fenyr SuperSport. UAE–based W Motors’s second model is named after the monstrous wolf from Norse mythology and sports an angular design that looks like something out of an old Playstation game. The car’s unique exterior isn’t its only aspect that will turn heads. The coupé is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six developed by Run Automobile. The mid-rear-mounted mill, which is mated to a Porsche-sourced seven-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission, can kick out 799 horses and 723 ft lbs of twist. The company has committed to building 100 examples, making the Fenyr SuperSport less rare than its predecessor, the Lykan Hypersport, but still plenty exclusive.
Debut: 2019 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six Power: 799 hp and 723 ft lbs of torque Zero to 62 mph: 2.7 seconds Top Speed: 250 mph
38 Aston Martin Valour — $1.5 Million to $2 Million
Photo : Aston Martin
Aston Martin knows how to build a front-engine sports car. Just look at the marque’s other entries on this list. Still, the ultra-exclusive Valour is something else. Unveiled earlier this summer as part of the automaker’s 110th-anniversary celebrations, the Valour features a sculpted look that calls to mind the striking V8 Vantage from the 1970s and ‘80s (especially its window louvers). The car doesn’t just look good, though. Under the hood you’ll find a twin-turbocharged V-12 that pumps out 715 hp and 555 ft lbs of torque. If that wasn’t enough, it also features a bespoke six-speed manual that we imagine enthusiasts are already going gaga over.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V-12 Power: 715 hp and 555 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds Top Speed: 200+ mph
37 Czinger 21C — $1.7 Million
Photo : Czinger
Americans can make supercars, too. Just look at the Czinger 21C, a curvaceous speed machine that can rocket from zero to 60 mph in under two seconds. There are a lot of supercars that have aircraft-inspired design flourishes, but the 21C has a straight up bubble cockpit with tandem seats like a fighter jet. The vehicle isn’t just a speed machine, either; it’s equipped with a hybrid-assisted V-8 that generates 1,250 hp of grunt. Thanks to this setup, the car can rocket from zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 253 mph.
Debut: 2021 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 2.88-liter V-8 Power: 1,250 hp and 849 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds Top Speed: 253 mph
36 Gordon Murray Automotive T.33 — $1.7 Million
Photo : Gordon Murray Automotive
Gordon Murray designed the McLaren F1, so he knows a thing or three about supercars. Just look at his eponymous marque’s second model, the T.33, which has all the makings of a car we’ll still be talking about years from now. The slinky coupé has a more restrained design than either the F1’s or GMA’s debut, the T.50, but it’s still a sight to behold. It also may not be as potent as its predecessor, but its Cosworth-built V-12 still generates a spritely 607 horses and 332 ft lbs of torque. You can also get it with a manual gearbox, which will almost certainly make it the kind of car that purists lust over. And unlike the F1, it will be available as a spider.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: 3.9-liter V-12 Power: 607 hp and 332 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: n/a Top Speed: 200+ mph
35 Hispano Suiza Carmen — $1.7 Million
Photo : Hispano Suiza
The battery-powered Carmen is for drivers who like their supercars as ridiculous as possible. The marque’s first model since the 1930s is an all-electric sports car with a retro-futurist design that looks unlike anything else currently on the road. The vehicle’s detractors may say that the outlandish design is a bit of a mess, but even they can’t deny that it stands out. As does a dual-motor powertrain that produces more than 1,000 horses. The Carmen also has a range of 248 miles (and can be charged to 80 percent in about a half hour) so there’s no reason for range anxiety, either.
Debut: 2019 Powertrain: Dual electric motors Power: 1,005 hp and 1,180 ft lbs of torque Zero to 62 mph: 2.7 seconds Top Speed: 180 mph
34 Koenigsegg Gemera — $1.7 Million
Photo : Koenigsegg
The Gemera is the rare supercar that has room for the whole family. The Swedish marque’s latest model may only have two dihedral doors, but its cabin has a 2+2 seating setup, so the driver can bring three full-grown adults along for a ride. The car, or “Mega-Grand Tourer,” also has a hybrid powertrain that features twin-turbocharged three-cylinder and three electric motors. We know, a three-cylinder mill may sound a bit light, but the setup churns out a bonkers 1,700 hp (or 2,400, if you upgrade to a V-8 option). And if that wasn’t enough, the Gemera is also Koenigsegg’s first model to offer all-wheel drive.
Debut: 2024 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 and single electric motor Power: 2,300 hp and 2,028 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 1.9 seconds Top Speed: 248 mph
33 McLaren Elva — $1.7 Million
Photo : McLaren
The McLaren lineup may feel overly indebted to the F1 at times, but the marque isn’t afraid to try new things. Just look at the marque’s fifth Ultimate Series model, the Elva, which was inspired by the open-top race cars developed by Bruce McLaren in the 1960s. In addition to its unique look, the limited-run model shares a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8—as well as a seven-speed seamless-shift gearbox— with the Senna that produces a hair-raising 804 horses. Thanks to all the power, the brand’s speedster can spring from zero to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds and reach 203 mph.
Debut: 2020 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 Power: 804 hp and 590 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.8 seconds Top Speed: 203 mph
32 Senna GTR — $1.8 Million
Photo : McLaren
If you’re going to name a car after Aryton Senna, it’s only natural that you release a track-only variant. The Senna GTR is more aggressive than its road-going counterpart in every way. It sports an aggressive aero package with a large rear wing, allowing it to cut through even more ease than the standard version. The car’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 has been tuned so that it’s more powerful, too. The mill is mated to a dual-clutch racing gearbox that allows for faster shifting and produces 814 horses. It also features a new suspension setup and rides on special Pirelli racing slicks.
Debut: 2018 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 Power: 801 hp and 590 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds Top Speed: 210 mph
31 Hennessey Venom F5 — $1.8 Million to $3 Million
Photo : Hennessey
Hennessey Performance wasn’t content just tuning other brand’s vehicles. In 2017, the Texas-based shop announced plans to design, develop and build a high-performance sports car of its very own. The resulting Venom F5—named after the most powerful grade of tornado—is exactly the kind of beast you’d expect from the storied tuner. It has a slick design that doesn’t feel overly indebted to Italian supercars and is powered by the twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter Fury V-8. The mill, which is connected to an automated manual gearbox, kicks out 1,817 horses and 1,193 ft lbs of twist. It’s because of this that Hennessy thinks its first original vehicle, which is available as a more expensive roadster, can become the world’s fastest production car.
Debut: 2020 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-8 Power: 1,817 hp and 1,193 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds Top Speed: 311 mph
30 Bentley Speed Six Continuation — $2 Million
Photo : Bentley
There is no bigger outlier on this list than the Bentley Speed Six Continuation. The hand-built vehicle, which was first announced in 2022, is a meticulous recreation of the marque’s Le Mans-winning race car from 1929 and 1930 built using the same tools and manufacturing techniques utilized nearly a century ago. The 1-of-12 car hasn’t been outfitted with modern conveniences and its six-cylinder engine isn’t exactly potent anymore, but it’s hard to imagine anyone questioning the gorgeous racer’s seven-figure price tag.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: 6.5-liter inline-six Power: 205 hp and Zero to 60 mph: n/a Top Speed: 112 mph
29 Deus Vayanne — $2 Million
Photo : DEUS Automobiles
Deus Automobiles knows that breaking into the supercar market won’t be easy. That’s why the Australian startup is giving itself until 2025 to get its its debut model, the all-electric Vayanne, just right. The coupé looks just as futuristic as the other battery-powered entries in the class, though its design is a tad more restrained. It’s unclear how many motors will be included as part of its powertrain, but the setup is expected to produce a hefty 2,200 hp and 1,475 ft lbs of torque. Thanks to all that power, the brand claims the EV will launch from zero to 62 mph in under two seconds and hit a top speed of 248 mph. The brand says the Vayanne will also be able to drive 300 miles between charges thanks to an 85-kWh battery pack.
Debut: 2022 Powertrain: Electric powertrain Power: 2,200 hp and 1,475 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.0 seconds Top Speed: 248 mph
28 SSC Tuatara — $2 Million
Photo : SSC North America
When you pay seven figures for a car, you expect it to be capable of breathtaking feats. The Tuatara most certainly meets those expectations. SSC North America has yet to top 300 mph in independent testing, but it’s come close. The 1,350 hp rocket on wheels was able to reach a one-way top speed of 295 mph during a run at Space Florida’s Launch and Landing Facility in the spring of 2022. Don’t be surprised if the car—which packs a twin-turbocharged 5.9-liter flat-plane crank V-8—cracks the 300 mph mark one day soon. The company has two high-performance variants, the Striker and the Aggressor, in the works.
Debut: 2020 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 5.9-liter V-8 Power: 1,750 horsepower and 1,341 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds Top Speed: 295 mph
27 Bentley Mulliner Batur — $2.1 Million
50 Most Expensive Vehicles

Wondering what the most ridiculous Bentley is? Look no further than this ultra-exclusive version of the Continental GT called the Batur. The marque’s Mulliner bespoke unit plans to build just 18 examples of the vehicle by hand. The new model features a completely reworked body that’s so much more athletic than the coupé it’s based on. The real selling point, though, can be found under the hood. There lurks the latest and greatest iteration of the automaker’s revered W-12 engine. The heavily tuned mill features 33 percent larger air intakes and generates 730 hp and 737 ft lbs of torque you’ll feel as soon as you put your foot to the pedal. The Batur, like it’s extravagant open-air counterpart, the Bacalar, will also be one of the brand’s final W-12 as it transitions towards a fully electric lineup.
Debut: 2022 Powertrain: 6.5-liter W-12 Power: 740 horsepower and 738 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 3.0 seconds Top Speed: 209 mph
26 Lotus Evija — $2.1 Million
Photo : Lotus
The Evija is at the heart of Lotus’s attempt to revitalize its flagging brand. One look at the all-electric supercar and it’s clear that the British marque is really going for it. The vehicle’s carbon-fiber body is marked by an aggressive front fascia, giant air channels, and an LED-lit rear end that looks like it belongs on a rocket ship. The biggest talking point, though, is almost certainly a quad-motor powertrain that generates a staggering 2,011 hp, which should allow it to hit a top speed of 217 mph. The only hiccup? Two years after production supposedly began, a single example has yet to been delivered.
Debut: 2019 Powertrain: Quad electric motors Power: 2,011 hp and 1,257 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 3.0 seconds Top Speed: 217 mph
25 McLaren W1—$2.1 Million
The McLaren W1 hypercar.

If you’re familiar with McLaren you know how important the marque’s 1 cars are. The first, the F1, helped define the modern supercar, while the P1, somehow managed to be an able follow-up. The just-unveiled W1 has a lot of expectations to live up to, but the early signs suggest it’s more than up to the task. It has a sharp and aggressively styled exterior that gives it the look of a Decepticon, but the real headline feature is its hybrid powertrain. The setup combines a twin-turbocharged V-8 with an electric motor. Together, the pair pumps out 1,275 hp, allowing the car to hit 60 mph in 2.7 seconds and top out at 213 mph.
Debut: 2024 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 and an electric motor Power: 1,275 hp hp and 988 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.7 seconds Top Speed: 213 mph
24 Ferrari Daytona SP3 — $2.3 Million
Photo : Ferrari
It probably won’t come as much of a surprise that the most expensive series-production Ferrari is something special. The Daytona SP3 is at once a celebration of the Italian marque’s rich history and a preview of its exciting future. The company’s latest Icona Series model features a smooth-flowing shape and clean lines. It’s hands down one of the best-looking cars currently on the market. Just as attractive is a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V-12 from the 812 Competizione that generates 829 hp, 514 ft lbs of torque and has a redline of 9,500 rpm. It’s little wonder the automaker has named the car after its legendary 1960s prototype racers.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: 6.5-liter V-12 Power: 829 hp and 514 ft lbs of torque Zero to 62 mph: 2.85 seconds Top Speed: 211 mph
23 Rimac Nevera — $2.4 Million
Photo : Rimac Automobili
Skeptical that supercars can survive the electric revolution? Well just take a look at the Nevera. The Croatian EV doesn’t just look like a supercar, it acts like one too. The speed machine’s quad-motor powertrain generates an incredible 1,900 hp and has earned it breathless review since making its debut in 2021. This spring, that setup also helped the car set 23 speed records in a single day, the most impressive of which may have been rocketing from zero to 249 mph in under a half minute. It may no longer claim that record—the Koenigsegg Jesko beat its time in June—but we wouldn’t be surprised if it reclaims the title before the year is out. The battery-powered speed machine is also surprisingly efficient, getting over 300 miles per charge in real-world driving conditions.
Debut: 2022 Powertrain: Quad electric motors Power: 1,914 hp and 1,741 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 1.74 seconds Top Speed: 258 mph
22 Pagani Utopia — $2.5 Million
Photo : Pagani
Other supercar makers may be looking into what electric powertrains can do for them, but not Pagani. In fact the company’s latest model, the Utopia, is a bit of a throwback. The vehicle will still turn heads, but it features the marque’s most streamlined design yet, lacking some of the extraneous bells and whistles of its predecessors (the interior is still plenty over-the-top, though). The Utopia was also designed to deliver the company’s most driver-centric ride yet. It’s powered by an AMG-sourced 6.0-liter V-12 that delivers 852 horses and 811 ft lbs of torque. Likely to be as impressive for the purists out there is that the vehicle comes with either an automated manual or manual gearbox.
Debut: 2022 Powertrain: 6.0-liter V-12 Power: 852 horses and 811 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.8 seconds Top Speed: 220 mph
21 Pininfarina Battista — $2.5 Million
Photo : Pininfarina
Do you find yourself wishing the Rimac Nevera looked just a tad less muscular? May we point you in the direction of the Pininfarina Battista. The Italian marque’s electric supercar shares an electric architecture with the Nevera, but it has a sleek style all its own. That doesn’t mean it’s a slouch, though. Its four-motor powertrain also pumps out 1,900 hp, meaning it’s capable of impressive performance feats. In fact, it’s swapped records with its cousin before, something we expect to continue to happen for years to come.
Debut: 2020 Powertrain: Quad electric motors Power: 1,900 hp and 1,726 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 1.79 seconds Top Speed: 222 mph
20 Rimac Nevera R — $2.5 Million
Photo : Rimac
There aren’t many cars more deserving of the “high-performance” descriptor than the Rimac Nevera. The Croatian marque still saw room for improvement, though. Enter the Nevera R, a new variant that wears a more aggressive aero kit that includes a fixed rear wing and a redesigned quad-motor powertrain. The new setup gets its juice from a “performance-oriented battery system” and produces a ridiculous 2,107 horses, or nearly 200 more hp than before. Thanks to the added oomph, Rimac’s latest EV can rocket from zero to 60 in 1.74 seconds, making it the first production car that accelerates faster than it brakes. Not bad.
Debut: 2024 Powertrain: Quad electric motors Power: 2,107 hp Zero to 60 mph: 1.74 seconds Top Speed: 256 mph
19, Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 — $2.6 Million
Photo : Gordon Murray Automotive
Looking for the closest thing to a contemporary McLaren F1? It just might be Gordon Murray’s latest supercar, the T.50. The debut release from the legendary designer’s eponymous marque feels like a spiritual successor to the revered F1. It sports a slick look that’s more elegant than outlandish. The sculpted design—which includes a downforce-maximizing rear fan—also makes it one of the most aerodynamic road cars of all time. It’s also got a Cosworth-designed V-12 that can deliver 650 hp and redline at 12,100 rpm. Add in a manual gearbox and you have the kind of supercar that enthusiasts dream about.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: 4.0-liter V-12 Power: 654 hp and 344 ft lbs of torque Zero to 62 mph: 2.8 seconds Top Speed: 226 mph
18, Mercedes-AMG One — $2.7 Million
Photo : Mercedes AMG
Sure, Mercedes-AMG know how to make a good sports car, but what about a hypercar? The One suggests they’ve got that covered too. The German performance sub-brand has relied on knowledge shared by its Formula 1 team to create one of the most impressive plug-in hybrids in the world. The vehicle may be street-legal, but it looks like a race car thanks to an aggressive aero package that includes a giant rear wing. Its biggest selling point is a hybrid-assisted 1.6-liter V-6 that generates more than 1,000 horses, allowing the car to shoot from zero to 124 mph in less than six seconds and hit a top speed of 217 mph. Unsurprisingly, the One already has a couple of records to its name.
Debut: 2022 Powertrain: 1.6-liter V-6 and four electric motors Power: 1,049 hp and 737 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.9 seconds Top Speed: 219 mph
17, Zenvo Aurora — $2.8 Million

Zenvo’s third hypercar, the Aurora, is easily its most powerful yet. It’s also not a single vehicle, but two. A duo of variants of the aggressively styled coupé will be available at launch—the hardcore Agil, which was designed for track domination, and the elegant Tur, which is better suited towards long drives. Both versions of the Aurora—which is named for the natural light phenomenon—are powered by a hybrid-assisted, quad-turbocharged V-12 that produces 1,250 horses. The rear-wheel-drive Agil has a single electric motor that ups output to 1,250 hp and 1,033 ft lbs of torque, while the all-wheel-drive Tur’s two electric motors boost it to 1,850 hp and 1,254 ft lbs of torque.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: Quad-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-12 and two electric motors Power: 1,850 hp and 1,254 ft lbs of torque Zero to 62 mph: 2.3 seconds Top Speed: 280 mph
16, Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution — $3 Million
Photo : Hennessey
The Venom F5 is about as hardcore as American-made cars come. Still, the Texas shop somehow saw an opportunity to wring even more from the vehicle. While the standard version of the supercar can rip around a race circuit like few others, the Venom F5 Revolution is even more of a track beast. The supercar’s 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 has been left untouched but its aero elements have been reworked so that they produce more downforce that before. The car also tips the scales at less than 3,000 pounds, which means this might be the first Venom F5 to break the 300-mph barrier.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-8 Power: 1,817 hp and 1,193 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds Top Speed: 328 (claimed)
15, Koenigsegg Jesko — $3 Million

Koenigsegg was always going to have trouble following up the Agera, but the Jesko has done an able job living up to the reputation of the its predecessor. The aggressive coupé is powered by a rear-mid-mounted twin-turbocharged V-8 that produces 1,280 hp and 738 ft lbs of torque. Fill the the tank with E85 instead of regular pump gas and those numbers balloon to 1,600 horse and 1,106 ft lbs of twist. It’s little wonder the Jesko is currently the world’s fastest accelerating car. Of course, performance isn’t all the vehicle has to offer. It also has a beautiful shape that allows it to slice through the air and a tall rear spoiler that increases downforce. A targa top and dihedral doors are pretty cool details as well.
Debut: 2021 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 5.8-liter V-8 Power: 1,600 hp and 1,106 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds Top Speed: 256 mph
14, Pagani Huayra R Evo — $3 Million Plus

Pagani has no interest in leaving well enough alone. Just look at the company’s latest track-only creation, the Huayra R Evo. As its name may have given away, it’s an evolution of the already ridiculous Huayra R that features a stretched-out body that produces 45 percent more downforce than before and pop-out roof panels. The hypercar’s Mercedes-AMG-sourced 6.0 liter V-12 has also been reworked. It now produces 900 hp and 567 ft lbs of torque, which is 50 hp and 14 ft lbs of torque more than before, which is routed to the rear axle via a six-speed sequential gearbox.
Debut: 2024 Powertrain: 6.0-liter V12 Power: 900 hp and 567 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: Less than 3.0 seconds Top Speed: 218 mph
13, Aston Martin Valkyrie — $3.2 Million

When you picture an Aston Martin, chances are you think of a slick grand tourer with plenty of power. The Valkyrie, though, is something completely different. The beastly hybrid looks more like a Le Mans prototype racer than something James Bond would drive. The car’s forward-thinking powertrain more than makes up for this lack of romance. The setup includes a naturally aspirated V-12 and electric motor that combine to put out 1,160 hp and 664 ft lbs of torque. It’s little wonder the brand is asking so much for its most unorthodox model.
Debut: 2021 Powertrain: 6.5-liter V-12 Power: 1,160 hp and 664 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.3 seconds Top Speed: 220 mph
12, Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut — $3.4 Million
Photo : Koenigsegg
Koenigsegg calls the Jesko Absolut a “land-based rocketship” and it’s hard to disagree. The variant is a “stealthier interpretation” of the track-based Jesko. Its carbon-fiber body has been redesigned to be even more aerodynamic, which includes replacing the base model’s large rear wing with two fighter jet-style wings. It’s again powered by a twin-turbo 5.0-liter V-8 that can produce up to 1,600 hp when running on E85. A top speed has yet to be determined but the Swedish marque has said the vehicle will be “unbelievably fast.”
Debut: 2022 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 5.8-liter V-8 Power: 1,280 hp and 738 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds Top Speed: 330 mph (claimed)
11, Pagani Huayra Roadster BC — $3.5 Million
Photo : Pagani
Only Pagani could look at the Huayra Roadster and see a car that needed to be reimagined. The Huayra Roadster BC is the track-only version of the company’s second hypercar, and as such it’s one of the most ridiculous entries on this list. The vehicle has a more aerodynamic body—the modifications produce over 1,100 pounds of downforce—as well as a monocoque made from a carbon-titanium material that’s lighter than that featured in the standard version of the open-top speed machine. The Roadster BC also features a modified version of the Huayra’s AMG-sourced V-12 that produces 791 hp and 745 ft lbs of torque.
Debut: 2019 Powertrain: 6.0-liter V-12 Power: 800 hp and 774 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 3.3 seconds Top Speed: 238 mph
10, Koenigsegg CC850 — $3.7 Million
Photo : Koenigsegg
Even hypercar makers aren’t afraid to look backward from time to time. Last year, Koenigsegg unveiled a new model called that CC850 that was based on its very first vehicle, the CC8S. The two cars share a similar design and shape, but the new version has a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 derived from the one featured in the Jesko. The new mill is potent to say the least, producing 1,385 horses when the car is running on E85. Thanks to that, the car can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 280 mph. The car has proven to be so popular, that the company decided to build 20 more after the initial run immediately sold out.
Debut: 2022 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 5.1-liter V-8 Power: 1,385 hp and 1,022 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds Top Speed: 310 claimed
9, Ferrari F80 — $3.9 Million

No one makes a halo car quite like Ferrari. This decade’s entry in the class—the fifth after the original 288 GTO—is the F80. The car features a gorgeous flowing design, but as with other supercars in the seven-figure segment, a head-turning exterior is far from its most breathtaking feature. That would be its hybrid powertrain, which pairs a 4.0-liter V-6 with not one, not two, but three electric motors. The complex setup pumps out a combined 1,184 hp. That figure makes the F80 the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever. Because of that, it’s little surprise the car can rocket from zero to 62 mph in just 2.15 seconds and reach a top speed of 217.5 mph.
Debut: 2024 Powertrain: 4.0-liter V-6 and three electric motors Power: 1,184 hp Zero to 62 mph: 2.15 seconds Top Speed: N/A
8, Gordon Murray Automotive T.50s Niki Lauda — $3.9 Million
Photo : Gordon Murray Automotive
The Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 is one of the more hardcore hypercars available thanks to its lightweight construction and downforce-producing integrated rear fan. The track-only T.50s Nikki Lauda—which the company stresses is its own distinct model—is even more extreme in basically every way. It has a host of aerodynamic upgrades, including a giant rear wing, weighs 300 pounds less than its street-legal counterpart, and wrings even more power out of its Cosworth-designed 3.9-liter V-12. Specifically, the naturally aspirated mill generates 725 hp and 358 ft lbs, or 71 horses and 14 ft lbs of twist more than the standard T.50. This is track performance at its purest.
Debut: 2021 Powertrain: 3.9-liter V-12 Power: 725 hp and 358 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.8 seconds Top Speed: 226 mph
7, McLaren Solus GT — $4 Million

The Solus GT is a video game car come to life. Literally. The track-only hypercar actually made its debut way back in 2017 in Gran Turismo Sport for the Playstation 4. Five years later, McLaren announced plans to put produce a limited run of the vehicle. Like its virtual counterpart, the real version looks just like a Star Wars-esque starfighter. It’s also powered by a completely unique naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V-10 that the marque says will produce 829 horses and 479 ft lbs of twist while revving at up to 10,000 rpm. The car will be hard to get, though, with only 25 slated to be built.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: 5.2-liter V-10 Power: 829 hp and 479 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 seconds Top Speed: 200+ mph
6, Bugatti Tourbillon — $4.1 Million

New Bugattis don’t come along every year. The Tourbillon, which was unveiled in June, is just the third distinct model the French marque since it was acquired by Volkswagen late last century, and first since Rimac founder Mate Rimac took over. The new model looks to be an able successor to the Veyron and Chiron pairing an expectedly absurd design with a ferocious powertrain. The latter of those features is what most differentiates this hypercar from its predecessors. While every other modern-day Bugatti had had a quad-turbo W-16 sitting in the engine bay, the Tourbillon gets its power from a naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V-16 and a trio of electric motors. The hybrid setup produces and astonishing 1,800 hp. Thanks to all that power the car can launch from zero to 60 mph in two seconds flat and has a targeted top speed of 276 mph, though its speedometer goes to 550 kph (or 341 mph).
Debut: 2024 Powertrain: 8.3-liter V-16 and three electric motors Power: 1,800 hp and 1,464 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.0 seconds Top Speed: 276 mph (target)
5, Aspark Owl — $4.2 Million

Japan’s first hypercar, the Aspark Owl, might be the most unique-looking entry this list. That’s because its lower to the ground and more stretched out than practically any other high-performance vehicle out there. You’re either going to love or hate the vehicle’s exagerated design, and consider us firmly in the first camp. The Owl’s design isn’t its only standout feature. It’s also monstrously powerful thanks to a quad-motor electric powertrain that delivers 1,985 hp and 1,475. There’s only one problem with the Owl as far as we can see—and it’s kind of a big one—nearly three full years after production was supposed to begin the vehicle is still in the prototype phase.
Debut: 2024 Powertrain: Quad electric motors Power: 1,985 hp and 1,475 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 1.69 seconds Top Speed: 249 mph
4, Bugatti Bolide — $4.3 Million

The Bolide, which made its public debut at Le Mans earlier this year, is without a doubt the most hardcore Bugatti hypercar yet. The model was designed to be the kind vehicle you can set a new personal record in each time you take it out on the track. A lot of this is due to a thunderously loud W16 that pumps out 1,578 hp and 1,180. It’s also light, tipping the scales at just 3,197 lbs, meaning it has a shocking weight-to-power ratio of close to 2 lb/hp. Add in a brash and angular design—especially by Bugatti’s usual standards—and you have the kind of car that’s sure to sell out despite not being street-legal.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: Quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 Power: 1,578 hp and 1,180 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.17 seconds Top Speed: 311 mph (claimed)
3, Bugatti Mistral — $5 Million

No automaker is more represented in the top ten of this list than Bugatti. It’s easy to see why, of course. The French marque doesn’t just build hypercars, it builds luxury hypercars. Of those currently still rolling off the line, the Mistral is the closet thing to a range topper. It’s a stunning roadster based on the Chiron that breathes new life into seven-year-old model with its more muscular stance. It’s also the brand’s final car that will feature its trademark W16. And thanks to that 1,577-hp mill, there’s a good possibility the Mistral could become the world’s fastest open-top production car before all is said and done.
Debut: 2024 Powertrain: Quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 Power: 1,578 hp and 1,180 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.4 seconds Top Speed: 261 mph (claimed)
2, Pagani Huayra Codalunga — $7 Million

Pagani decide to go all out when saying goodbye to its second hyper, the Huayra. The result is the Codalunga, a restyled interpretation of the model that pays tribute to the race cars of the 1960s with its beautiful flowing body. The streamlining of the car’s exterior also allows it to cut through the air with more ease than before. Add in an AMG-sourced twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 that produces 840 horses—which his 110 more than the standard version of the model—and it’s little wonder it’s the most expensive hypercar currently out there.
Debut: 2022 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 Power: 829 hp and 811 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 2.8 seconds Top Speed: 217 mph
1, Rolls-Royce Droptail — $30 Million Plus

How do you follow up on something like the Boat Tail? If you’re Rolls-Royce you design something even more extravagant—and commit to building four distinct variations of it. That car is the Droptail, an open-top grand tourer inspired by classic yachts and hot rods. Each of the coach built V-12s has an all-new aluminum space frame chassis, makes extensive use of wood trim, and comes with its own custom timepiece that doubles as a watch. Three Droptail have been unveiled so far—the La Rose Noire, the Amethyst, and the Arcadia—with one more still on the way. As with the Boat Tail, which was rumored to be the world’s most expensive new car when it debuted, Rolls-Royce won’t say how much the vehicles cost, but they’re believed to be just as expensive if not more.
Debut: 2023 Powertrain: Twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V-12 Power: 563 hp and 625 ft lbs of torque Zero to 60 mph: 4.8 seconds Top Speed: 155 mph
