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.


Image
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.*


Image
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.


Image
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.


Image
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.


Image
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.


Image
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.


Image
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.

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...

I saw the SSR (3) at the show here. I'm sure someone should have 4 stashed away for safe keeping.

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:

I think thats called snobery, trying to impress everyone with puting down some thing most normal folk can't afford, i'd just have started laughing at them for being such a pair of twats to think that owning a Maybach is going to get them "status", first thing EVERONE does when they see a Maybach is go "eeuugghh, what an UGLY car"
