While our focus remains the luxury and price
in making the list, however, these priciest
cars in the world are more specimens of 
automotive engineering than just blinged up
 machines of luxury. So, to give a slight idea
of what it costs to get a lot of extras that makes
your prestigious car convey an aura of
elegance and gentility, here is our list
of the world's 10 most expensive cars.

Koenigsegg Trevita
Price: $2.21 million


Innovations are not always improvements
but at times, they really are. This is especially
true as Koenigsegg gives yet another shot to a
complete carbon fiber bodywork in the
CCXR Trevita, but with a diamond
finish.Koenigsegg has developed
a diamondweave where the fibers are coated with a diamond finish.
The fiber is treated carefully in smallquantities, prior to further processing the
Pre-preg material. Apart from the diamond finished,
silvered carbon fiber, CCXR Trevitafeatures
a double carbon fiber wing, paddle-shift transmission, Inconell exhaust
system, carbon ceramic brakes, a hydraulic lift system, a custom
navigation and of course, an entertainment system.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport
Price: $2 million ($1.67 million for the coupe version)


It is one car that you would get into and would never feel like getting out of.
Unveiled in a strange yet suitable manner at the Concours d' Elegance,
the Grand Sport brings to the table sheer brilliance that makes the
world of automobiles a great place. Embarking on the 100th year of motoring,
the Grand Sport is one creation that complements the mammoth achievement
. Make no mistake here, people, that 16.4 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport comes
with a removable roof (polycarbonate material), not a retractable one, but
it still manages to register itself as the fastest roadster in the world. Talk about
stand-out features of this outstanding car, for me
the pick of things is the reversing camera, which comes
with a 2.7-inch monitor on the rearview mirror.

Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster
Price: $1.8 million


Only five units of the Pagani Zonda Cinque were put into production,
and all of them were sold out. Now, Pagani has unveiled the roadster version
of the famous coupe and once again, only five examples will be made.
The roofless Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster features a specially
redesigned carbon-titanium chassis and has its roof stored in the front bonnet.
The luxury coupe gets its power from the 678-hp Mercedes AMG V12 engine
that allows it to go from 0 to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 217 mph.
Weighing in at 2,667 lbs, the Zonda Cinque comes with full carbon fibered
bodywork, Cima six-speed sequential gearbox and a titanium and
magnesium adjustable suspension.

Lamborghini Revent2n Roadster
Price: $1.56 million


Like its coupe counterpart, the roadster is based on the Murci2lago
LP640 (but has a completely new exterior aesthetic), with
a V12, 650 horsepower engine that has a top speed of
340 km per hour. The "aerodynamically optimized"
exterior is made of CFC, an extremely lightweight composite carbon fiber
material. A G-force-meter is also new: it shows dynamic drive
forces, longitudinal acceleration for speeding and braking, and transversal
acceleration around corners.

Lamborghini Revent2n
Price: $1.42 million


We are not sure if the roadster is still in stock but nonetheless,
features are still to look at. Named after a prized fighting bull that fought
in the early 1940s, the Revent2n inhabits everything Lamborghini.
It is made exclusively in Sant'Agata Bolognese, and its sharp edges,
precise lines and clean surfaces are inspired by fighter jets.
You'll know it by its glass engine hood, solid aluminum fuel tank
lid and opaque carbon fins screwed onto the black aluminum spokes
on the wheels. A total of 20 will be produced.

Maybach Landaulet
Price: $1.4 million



The German company added sophisticated feel to their
luxury saloon with the Maybach Landaulet. With 604 horsepower and
a top speed of 155 miles per hour, this chauffeur-driven sedan can hold
its own against race cars half its size (it'll get to 60 miles per hour in 5.2
seconds. It comes with a V12 twin-turbo engine. The roof can be opened
fully at the rear while the chauffeur compartment remains closed. Each
armchair is encased in white leather. A partition screen with clear glass
and curtains, reclining rear seats with leg and footrests and a Dunhill
umbrella are included.

Koenigsegg CCXR
Price: $1.3 million


The special edition Koenigsegg CCX-R from the Swedish hasn't
just been picked by us for its price tag, but for traits which make it
outstanding for reasons one many. It is the first car which isn't just
a pure road scorcher running
on gas but a devil which surprisingly is eco-friendly as it can run
on biofuel, that too, without compromising on the performance. It can
go 0 to 62 mile-per-hour in 3.1 seconds, with a top speed of 250 mph, and our eco-friendly
riches won't mind having this one at the back of their garages.

Koenigsegg CCX
Price: $1.1 million


While the Swedish automobile manufacturer have long been
known as safe and steady, not fast and furious however,
the CCX was developed to deliver superior performance - both
on the track and on the road.
The sCCX has carbon ceramic brakes, a hydraulic
lift system, a navigation system and a rear-view camera.
CD and DVD systems, satellite radio, climate
control, leather carpets, a roof stowage bag and car-cover come
standard. Horsepower in the V8 engine
is 806 units, for a 0-62 mile-per-hour time of 3.2 seconds
and a top speed of 245 mph. It has a specially developed transversal
six-speed gearbox, with optional paddle-shift. A chrono instrument
cluster, carbon wheels, forged aluminum wheels, fitted
luggage, special leather and color requests and Inconell
exhaust system are also optional.

Leblanc Mirabeau
Price: $765,000


It is one of the most remarkable cars ever built in automotive
history and fact that it's street legal is almost unbelievable.
The Mirabeau was specially designed to feature at the 24 Hours
Le Mans race, but it is street-legal. It has a 4.7-liter Koenigsegg-made
V8 engine that delivers 700 horsepower and a top speed of 230
miles per hour. Each car can be customized to owners' expectations,
including an optional semi-automatic transmission.

SSC Ultimate Aero
Price: $740,000


The car that snatched the fastest production car tag from
Buggati Veyron in 2008, but still that won't make you go for it.
Consider the amount of carbon fiber this car uses, making it
special even in the way it looks. The newest model will reach
a top speed of 270 miles per hour.
Carbon fiber rear spoilers respond to the amount of pressure
on the brake pedal. Inside, a carbon fiber dashboard and center
console incorporate a digital temperature control unit and tire
pressure monitor for optimum driving conditions.
