Automobile manufacturers, from Rolls-Royce to Bugatti, keep producing luxury cars with limited editions. A new model comes up every few months with a higher price tag than the previous model. Even though only a very small percentage of the people in the world can afford them, every car lover is eager to know what’s latest in the world of luxury cars. So here’s a list of the 5 most expensive and coveted cars in 2023:
Rolls-Royce Boat Tail – $28 Mn
Renowned for their super luxurious vehicles, Rolls-Royce remains one of the most expensive car brands in the world. Their latest production model, Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, is a prime example of this fact. This exquisite car is valued at $28 million and ranks high on the list of most expensive cars in the world.
A twin-turbo V12 engine with 563 hp powers the Boat tail. Also, the car comes with a high-end finish with a two-tone exterior. What’s unique about this vehicle is the availability of a hosting suit in the rear of it. With a press of a button, a champagne fridge with an umbrella pops out to provide luxury on the go.
This hand-built masterpiece guaranteed a once-in-a-lifetime experience and made its public debut in 2021. A total of 3 Boat Tails got sold, and the list of buyers are not available to the public. So, we don’t know yet who owns this car that came out recently.
Bugatti La Voiture Noire – $13.4 Mn
Dethroned by the Boat tail as the most expensive car in the world, this Bugatti is something to behold. The name of the vehicle La Voiture Noire, which translates to “black car” is what Bugatti used to gain attention.
The supercar carries a quad-turbo W16 engine with 1500hp. Thus, La Voiture can reach 0 to 60 miles in a whopping 2.4 seconds. With all of these in an aerodynamic body, La Voiture is capable of driving at a top speed of 260 mph.
The vehicle has a price tag of $13.4 million and is one of the most expensive cars in the world. Also, there was only one sale of these supercars. Its owner was none other than the legendary Portuguese footballer Christiano Ronaldo.
Rolls-Royce Sweptail – $12.8 Mn
It’s not a surprise to see a second entry of Rolls-Royce in this top-five most expensive cars list. Notoriously, the Rolls-Royce company is one the if not the most expensive car brands in the world. The Sweptail is a luxury with a reported price of $12.8 million.
The company stated that the Sweptail is a vehicle made under a request from a specific customer in need of a one-of-a-kind car. Based on the current generation phantom platform, the car is home to a V12 engine capable of 453hp.
As with any other Rolls-Royce, the design of the vehicle is simply breathtaking and has a unique “swept-tail” on the rear, hence the car’s name. Instead of back seats, the car features a wood mid-shelf, a wood hat shelf, and luggage rails on the rear.
Bugatti Centodieci – $9 Mn
Bugatti introduced the Centodieci at the 2019 Pebble Beach car week, presenting a new limited edition and exclusive model to the market. The car pays tribute to the Bugatti EB110 while also marking Bugatti’s 110th anniversary.
The Centodieci is a unique and rare vehicle, with only ten units produced, making it one of the most exclusive cars ever made. The car’s styling may not appeal to everyone, but its exclusivity ensures that owners won’t see another one on the road. The car is priced at just under $9 million, putting it in the upper echelon of luxury cars.
Mercedes-Maybach Exelero – $8 Mn
The Mercedes-Benz Maybach Exelero is a one-of-a-kind car, commissioned by Fulda, a German subsidiary of Goodyear, for tire testing purposes in 2004. The Exelero was built on the Maybach platform, powered by a twin-turbo V12 engine that produces 690 horsepower (510 kilowatts) and 752 pound-feet (1,020 Newton-meters) of torque.
Its top speed is listed at 218 miles per hour (350 kilometers per hour). Although priced at around $8 million, adjusted for inflation, the Exelero would cost over $10 million in today’s money. Despite its exceptional design and performance, the Exelero remains a one-off model, and its unique features make it a true rarity in the automotive world.
