1. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Country of Origin: France Price: €1,000,000($1,192,057) With its notorious production delays finally over, Bugatti's Veyron is now on sale in Europe--and the company wants to bring it to the U.S. 2. Pagani Zonda Roadster F C12S 7.3, Clubsport version 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.* 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. 4. Leblanc Mirabeau Country of Origin: Switzerland Price: €543,000 ($645,084, global) Leblanc is ramping up production of its new Mirabeau supercar. The company hopes to make the vehicle street legal for the U.S. by the end of 2006 or early 2007. 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. 6. Koenigsegg CCR Country of Origin: Sweden Price: €458,000 in all regions except U.S. ($545,568) Price in U.S.: $540,000 Koenigsegg's CCR uses an 806-hp V-8. 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 Maybach's new model, the 57 S, is designed to be a sportier alternative to its other cars, the 57 and 62. -- Veyron!!

Two cars in there stand out. They are both Maybachs. What is the point of them ? If it were me I'd buy a Rolls and spend the change on a 911. Not that it ever will be, but still...

The couple that I stayed with in Sydney recently have the Maybach 57 and are now ordering the Maybach 62 for their house in Germany. What was funny was they came in complaining how bad the new mercedes S class was that they had just test driven ...... life must be good when the new S class sucks! :lol: :lol:
