Not most expensive cars, not second most expensive car, THE most expensive car in the world. Are there any links for it?
I found a link that says one of those sold in 2003 for U$1.25 million or thereabouts.
Would that include the floor mats?
As far as production cars go, this is the top 10:
1 Saleen S7 (395.000 dollar)
2 Bentley Azure Cabrio Mulliner (376.485 dollar)
3 Rolls-Royce Corniche Cabrio (363.990 dollar)
4 Lamborghini Murciélago (273,000 dollar)
5 Aston Martin Vanquish (228.000 dollar)
6 Ferrari 575 M Maranello (215.000 dollar)
7 Porsche GT2 (180.665 dollar)
8 BMW Z8 (130.645 dollar)
9 Mercedes-Benz CL 600 (119.595 dollar)
10 Jaguar XKR 100 Coupe and Cabrio (98.330 dollar)
Of course there are custom-built cars around which cost many times more, but this is mostly due to gold-plating, stretching, installing jacuzzi’s, etc. Some exotic, hand-crafted sports cars might be more expensive too, but those aren’t production cars IMHO. (Hint: try and buy a Koenigsegg. THEY will charge you.)
NB the mclaren F1 is no longer for sale (limited production). Now they have developed and produce the amazing Mercedes SLR McLaren.
What about the Maybach?
Prices range form $305,000 - $357,000.
Unless you mean new cars, I think you should check out one of the nine Buggati Royales.
Rats. :smack: One G, 2 Ts. Bugatti.
Do you mean new, used, or collector (Hitlers Mercedes, Stalins Limo, etc) cars.
here is a list of used cars
It would be a classic car, either a Bugatti, (french btw), Hispano Suiza or possibly a Ferrari, (…my name is Ferrari, it means “Smith”).
…Except if you include stuff like Formula 1 ‘cars’, which cost a ton, even if they don’t weigh it.
How about the Bugatti Veyron 16/4? I think its price is easily 1 million plus.
Is it out for sale yet? They had marketed it as capable to reach 400km/h, but it couldn’t, so they had to make some radical changes to the design.
Please be more specific. The highest price ever payed for a car?
The most expensive production car? right now, or ever?
(adjusted for inflation?)
The highest asking price for a car? (if so, I’m willing to sell you a matchbook car for $100 quadrillion)
Are trucks, vans, etc eligiable?
I’m guessing tanks aren’t but what about “armored cars”?

I don’t think so. According to Automobile Magazine, it should hit the $1 million mark.
Heh? I merely said that they couldn’t make it travel at 400km/h, which was what they had promised. I didn’t say anything about the price!
I meant it as in the highest price ever payed for a car. (particularily luxury or sports car)
If you are talking about collectors paying outrageous prices for a vehicle just so they can add them to their collection then it could get really high.
Just off the top of my head I seem to recall a man paying like a million and a half for an old Dusenberg recently.
Seems like a car once owned by the Beatles went pretty high as well. I think I’ll dig for some cites if this is what you’re asking.
A quick search came up with this.

“Robert Brooks who, in 1987 while working for Christie’s, sold the most expensive car ever at auction, a 1931 Bugatti Royale, for £5.5m”
I’m not familiar with the exchange rate. How much is that in US currency?
It’s creeping right up under $10m USD.
I was answering your “Is it out for sale yet?” question.
