There are many lists of “most expensive” cars, but most include one-off supercars or cars that are only offered to a literal handful of established customers. They’re never really available to anyone, and in some cases, they’re completely custom one-offs built years ago. This list is made up of the most expensive new, non-unique cars, and while they are extremely exclusive, they are available to any customer who can afford the cha-cha.
Bugatti Chiron SuperSport: $3,300,000
Each of these lists includes a bit of Bugatti. This is the most expensive thing the automaker makes and tops the list of the most expensive things you can buy in 2023. The Chiron SuperSport features an 8.0-liter W16 with four turbochargers producing 1500 hp. Yes, 16 cylinders and four turbochargers. Bugatti limits production to 500 Chirons. Naturally, although initially available to anyone, all 500 seats of this hypercar are now sold.
Ferrari SF90 Stradale: $558,000
Ferrari does not shy away from electrification. The SF90, thanks to its three electric motors and twin-turbo V8, can reach 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. Its 4.0-liter V8 has a power of 1,000 hp and drives all four corners. Comparing price and power, the $558,000 tab looks like a bargain for this type of Ferrari, at least from our distant eyes.
Lamborghini Aventador: $550,542
Lamborghinis powered by the ubiquitous V12 are slowly coming to an end as electrification approaches every vehicle made today. None is more powerful than the Aventador. With 769 hp, the 6.5-liter V12 makes a good reign of its 11 years. Last year it got the Ultimate Edition treatment, in both coupe and roadster form.
Rolls-Royce Phantom: $457,750
It is not a sports machine but rather a luxury sedan, for the very rich, it is a great family car. And if the standard Phantom is a little small for your taste, there’s also an extended version with extra space for rear-seat passengers. Inside all of this luxury machine and its passengers is a 563bhp twin-turbo V12. For the price, you can consider it the most luxurious sedan available today.
Ferrari 812 GTS: $410,516
The 812 GTS represents the classic shape of a Ferrari. V12 engine, naturally aspirated, located at the front, with 789 hp. It speaks to those looking for Ferrari roots in a new presentation. And just to add icing on the cake, this traditional Ferrari can reach 211 mph, according to Ferrari. The combination of all this makes the expensive 812 GTS a bargain at $410,516.
Rolls-Royce Ghost: $398,850
The Ghost is a sportier version of the Phantom, and it’s also cheaper. For some, this makes it a better version of the Phantom. Its 0-60 time is under five seconds, which seems impossible from a nearly 5,500-pound sedan. Power comes from the same 6.7-liter V12 as the Phantom. Last year it offered an updated Ghost Blue trim starting at $442,700. So the standard Ghost under $400,000 seems like a steal.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan: $332,755
You could call Cullinan’s SUV a Rolls-Royce. The tall body and all-wheel drive do more than hint at the partnership. With the Rolls grille and tall proportions, it somehow looks like a one-off special for the Queen of England, may she rest in peace. Note that under the hood is a 592 hp twin-turbo V12. And as with other reels, the golden touches are all yours, for just a few more shekels.
