#1. Bugatti Veyron 16.4
Country of Origin:France
Price: €1,000,000($1,192,057)
The Veyron uses a 16-cylinder, 1001-hp motor.

Country of Origin: Italy
Price: $667,321 (global)
Pagani is a boutique automaker that builds radical-looking racecars. This version of its Zonda flagship has 650 hp
This expensive new model has helped the Zonda remain in second place on our list, where it ended up last year.



#3. SSC Ultimate Aero
Country of Origin: U.S.
Price: $654,500 (U.S.)
The most expensive American car is also the fastest. Automaker SSC estimates this vehicle is capable of hitting 260 to 273 mph on the track.

Price: €543,000 ($645,084, global)

#5. Saleen S7 Twin Turbo
Country of Origin: U.S.
Price: €535,000 in Europe ($637,723)
Price in U.S.: $555,000
Saleen's S7 Twin Turbo has fallen to fifth place from first last year, because all four nameplates ahead of it in this year's ranking are new. But the S7 remains one of the more recognizable (that's a relative term here) models on the list.
The S7 uses a 750-hp V-8. It can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in under three seconds.

#7. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Country of Origin: Germany
Price: $452,750 (U.S.)
A mainstay on our lists of the world's fastest and most expensive cars, the delightful SLR McLaren is about as comfortable and sophisticated as a street-legal racecar can be.

#8. Maybach 62
Country of Origin: Germany
Price: €376,200 ($448,153, Europe)
Price in U.S.: $385,250
Maybach's 62 ultra-luxury sedan is made by Mercedes-Benz, which has shocked us by proving that a car that is this expensive to build can turn a profit.

#9. Porsche Carrera GT
Country of Origin: Germany
Price: $440,000 (U.S.)
Some automotive publications claim Porsche has stopped selling its Carrera GT supercar. But at press time, Porsche confirmed that its $440,000 flagship convertible is still available in the U.S.

#10. Maybach 57 S
Country of Origin: Germany
Price: €362,000 in Europe ($430,355)
Price in U.S.: $367,000
