Cars that Millionaires Drive.

Cars that millionaires drive come loaded with state-of-the-art gadgets and accessories; most of them being custom-built, tailor-made to the owners' specifications and are the envy of all.

Cars give these drivers a different high as some of these cars are so fancy and fast that they can touch more than 300 km per hour; some are so exclusive that finding them on a road is a near impossibility; and some are just exquisite works of art.

Mentioned below are some of the most expensive cars in the world though not all of them are available in India, but once they are as per Indian currencies the prices of the car would be much higher.

Here’s a look at the Top 5 expensive cars:

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: $2.5 million
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, the fastest car in the world, is also the most expensive in the world at $2.5 million. Its Grand Sport version was launched in India in 2010 with a price tag starting at Rs 16 crore (Rs 160 million), making it the most expensive car ever to hit the Indian roads.

Koenigsegg Agera R: $1.5 million
Just like other Koenigsegg supercars, the new Agera is the work of Christian von Koenigsegg. As far as speed, handling and sheer driving experience is concerned; Agera has set the benchmark for other supercars.
The Agera R, which can reach 100km/h in less than 3 seconds, comes with a 5.0-liter V8 powertrain that churns out mind boggling 972 horsepower.

Maybach Landaulet: $1.4 million
Maybach Landaulet, price tag $1.4 million, is the choice of the high and mighty who prefer pure luxury, elegance, and prestige.
The car is available in two variants in India: 57 and 62.
The maximum speed this Maybach model can reach is over 400 km/h and it comes with an AMG V12 5.0 liters twin turbo 604 horse power engine.
The car is equipped with smart head lights, bi-xenon, parking guide, refrigerator, sliding tables and much more.
Pagani Huayra : $1.3 million
Pagani Automobili, the Italian supercar builder, has now come out with Huayra, a successor to Zonda, the Italian supercar.
The new creation from Pagani can reach the top speed of more than 370.1 km/h and is powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 made exclusively for the car by AMG.
With just 60 employees, Pagani's small factory can only produce so many of the largely hand-built cars so worldwide sales are limited to only 20 a year.

Hennessey Venom GT: $895,000
Hennessey Venom GT, manufactured by Hennessey Performance Engineering, is powered by General Motors' 6.2 L LS9 supercharged V8 that can be found in the Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1.
The modified engine will produce 725 bhp. Hennessey will also offer a 1,000 bhp and 1,200 bhp twin-turbocharged variants.
Hennessey is limiting production of the Venom GT to 10 units a year. Top speed is more than 420 kilometer per hour, with a 0-60 mph time of 2.5 seconds.

  1. These cars are definitely built for power and speed! If I were to pick a car from all of these, I'd go for the Maybach Landaulet. I'm going for prestige over power. Cruising would be a lot nicer for me than speeding down the highway.
