Porsche 918 Spyder: $845,000


The limited production hybrid vehicle is the first of its kind to be produced by the company. Powered by a 4.6 liter, V8 engine, this baby can take you from 0 to 100 in less than 2.9 seconds. This is one ‘Spyder’ whose web everyone wants to get entangled in.

The SSC Tuatra: $970,000


Shelby Super Cars (SSC) Tuatra was introduced with the sole aim of dethroning the Bugatti Veyrnon Super Sport as the fastest car in the world. It packs an astonishingly impressive engine capacity with a 7 litre engine and 1350 horsepower. We can say it sufficiently satisfies all your speed demons and more.

Hennessey Venom GT: $1,000,000


The Hennessey Venom GT spells out allure with its sleek agility. Auto enthusiasts all over the world laud its 1200 horsepower engine, that makes driving the car to a top speed of more than 400 kmph possible. Steven Tyler, is part of this select club of Hennessey Venom GT owners. Only 5 of these vehicles are produced every year and, hence, coveted by many.

Aston Martin One 77: $1,400,000



If a 1.4 million dollar price tag wasn’t enough to ensure that most mere mortals will never get a chance to own one, the fact that only 77 of these cars exist surely will. A handcrafted aluminum body with its signature Ashton craftsmanship, a full carbon fiber monocoque chassis, powered by an innately aspirated 7.3-liter V12 engine make this a rare collectible in the world of car connoisseurs.

 Maybach Landaulet: $1,500,000
The Maybach Landaulet is the last word when it comes to luxury and opulence. A color-coded cabin with divided driver and passenger areas, a convertible roof that opens up for an unobstructed view of the sky, seats that rival those of luxury private jets; the sheer scale of its extravagance makes even the traditional luxury sedans like the Bentley pale in comparison.

 Lamborghini Reventon: $1,600,000

A car like the Lamborghini Reventon could make you sell your soul to the devil and even enjoy every minute of it. Inspired by the fastest airplanes, its V-12 engine enables it to reach a maximum speed of 340 kilometers/hour. All it takes is 3.4 seconds for this baby to go from 0 to 100 kmh. Can we say Va Va Vroom?




 Zenvo ST: $1,800,000

Carlsberg Beer isn’t the only thing the Danish got right. They also made a supercar with a supercharged 7.0-liter V8 engine, which can go from 0 to 60mph in 2.9 seconds. Expect every demand to be catered when you spend such a colossal amount of money. Each and every detail in this car– from colour, fabric to wheels is customized. The company also has a team of ‘flying doctors’ who will fly over and cater to any maintenance issues. And if that isn’t enough, you also get a $50,000 watch free when you buy this car. Who said the super rich don’t dig bargains?

 Pagani Zonda Clinque Roadster: $1,850,000

The Pagani Zoda Clinque Roadster is considered somewhat of an ‘exotic’ breed in the world of supercars. It is created using a material called carbo-titanium, wherein carbon fibre is weaved with titanium threads. The handcrafted, turbo charged, super twin engines make this car go from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph. Only five of these were made by the company.




 Ferrari 599 XX: $2,000,000

It is not just the ‘rumored’ 2 million dollar price tag that makes the Ferrari 599XX every carholics wet dream. The car is only available to a select group of Ferrari owners handpicked by the company. This is one party which is 'by invitation only’- even in the world of the super rich. Modified for exclusive track events, and armed with a 700-hp V12 engine, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds minus any turbo or superchargers. Based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, this prototype is an extreme track car designed to test limits for maximum performance.

 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: $2,400,000

With great power comes… a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport! The fastest car in the world with a top speed of 268 mph is also the most expensive car in the world. Its 16 cylinder 1,200-horsepower engine can accelerate from 0 to 62mph in a mere 2.5 seconds. A perfect amalgamation of power and performance, this breathtaking car is the big daddy of them all.
With so many cars titillating you, it is only justified that you feel your life is incomplete until you can lay hands on one of these babies. However, unless you have inherited quite a fortune from your forefathers, you might need to break the bank or make a deal with the devil.
