Most Expensive Cars in the World

Classic cars can command extraordinary prices, but modern hypercars built for the world’s wealthiest collectors are just as remarkable. These vehicles are not produced in the thousands, and in many cases not even in the hundreds. They are made in extremely limited numbers, often tailored to individual buyers, and can take months or years to build by hand.

From hybrid Ferraris and electric performance cars to one-off Rolls-Royce commissions and record-chasing Bugattis, these are among the most expensive cars in the world.
