If your passion for performance and luxury autos cannot be stopped, and your McLaren F1 is becoming a bore along with the rest of your exotic cars, it might be time to check out Top Gear’s “Car of the Decade,” the Bugatti Veyron. The most recent model, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, has an estimated price tag of $2.3 million and, if that figure is even close to the ultimate price, will be the most expensive car in the world.
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport “World Record Edition”
The Super Sport, unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2010, is not your typical luxury car. Its W16 engine—essentially two narrow-angle V8s sharing a crankshaft—with four turbochargers generates 1,200 hp and, along with improved aerodynamics over the original Veyron, allows it to reach a top speed of 268 miles per hour. That makes the Super Sport the fastest production car in the world.
The original Bugatti Veyron 16.4, which entered production in 2005, hits 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, does the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds and reaches its top speed of 252 mph in just 55 secs. It came after a long absence from the market for Bugatti and helped the brand reclaim its title as the ultimate performance car and reign supreme as the world’s most expensive production car.

The Veyron is named after Pierre Veyron, who won the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans while driving a Bugatti Type 57 with Jean-Pierre Wimille.

the MOST EXPENSIVE CAR IN THE WORLD is a Bugatti yes, but an old Buggati the Type 41 Royale that worth the estimated $10 million dollars.
Respect must be paid to the McLaren. Screw the price, screw the top speed of the Veyron, the McLaren actually feels fast. Just raw power. The Veyron loses the feel of actually driving in all its lavish comforts while the McLaren stays true to the essence of driving (stupidly) fast.
1931 Bugatti Type 41 Royale was sold for 17$ million
The Rolls Royce “Silver Ghost” is insured for $50,000,000 US dollars making it the most expensive vehicle in the world.
make that Bugatti Type 41 Royale

The most expensive car is the 60s Ferrari GTO at 22Mil $
The most expensive car in the world is the very first Rolls Royce Silver Ghost that is kept in a sealed room at BMW. The price tag is $75 million. The car comes out for the Peeble Beach car show…
The highest price paid (not insured etc) for a car is not that paid for the Bugatti Royale at an auction in 1987, but a private sale last year of a Mercedes-Benz 540K in the USA.
I saw an Austin 1100 up for sale in Hull for a staggering £89,000,000 but then realised the owner was a total tosser who thought it was funny. It shook me up that someone could be so cruel.
Kazakh oil king daughter, mysterious Regina, ordered Limo for her yorks. It was built from vintage MINI (The) Chelsea Edition. It’s cost around million euro…www.millioneuromini.com
I like cool cars. Jakgramadi
Porsche Carrera GT. Not the most expensive, but has a hefty price.
Bugatti Veyron, Mclaren F1, Porsche carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo, I like all those cars
What about the Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR. Thought its price tags ran from $1.5 to $2 million overshadowing the Bugatti???????????
No Winged Wheels, you are totally wrong AS USUAL – IDIOT! the Bugatti cost around $4m to build so the construction costs would have been much more than the Merc. Bugatti were selling this at huge a loss.
The Bugatti Veyron has to be the finest car I’ve seen! I want one!
I got to give the Bugatti Veyron the top of the top i know maclaren f1 is the badesst sports car but you have to give it to the Bugatti Veyron
Its the most expensive production car. Whilst the Type 41 and Silver Ghost are expensive they are not considered to be production cars as they are no longer in production
You guys, they’re talking about retail price, not price after 70 years. The price of this car in 20 or more years is probably gonna be > $10,000,000.
off with that bugatti, don’t deserve that price let alone top position. doesn’t look like production model. the mclaren tops.
