Among billionaires, collectors are common. Often these eccentrics do not collect the most expensive cars in the world. So, David Rockefeller, a representative of a well-known financial clan, does not part with a box in which he places beetles for his collection. Mark Zuckerberg, enriched by IT, breeds pigs and goats. Bank owner Elemm Spangler buys and repairs antique clocks. "Oilman" Gordon Getty loves to compose operas. Billionaires fill the shelves with collector's Bibles, with childish excitement they look at the acquired stamps through a magnifying glass. And Gary Meignes feels uplifted as he drives a heavy-duty truck like a farmer off-road. The eccentric Sai-Wing (Hong Kong) uses a 1 ton golden toilet bowl. Obviously, in this way he shows the world how a jewelry magnate should treat the despicable metal. However, many of them still collect special vintage cars, yachts, and airplanes. Moreover, as you understand, the price does not really matter.
The subject of this article will be the most expensive cars in the world as a subjecthobbies of moneybags.
Of course, a car of this class would look stupid if it parks freely in the city or “tosses” the owner through city traffic jams to the office. Machines of the 22nd century level, created using space technologies, innovative composites and rare metal alloys, are most often produced individually, less often in small batches.
Contrary to technology, the most expensive retro cars in the world are traditionally at the top of the rankings. Regarding them, the saying “is worth like an airplane” is really true. The absolute record belongs undeniably to the Bugatti Atlantic 57SC, sold to a private collection for $40 million. The auction value of the representative of the "Ferrari" issue of 1962 looks impressive - $ 28.5 million. And the price of the representative of the brand "Bugatti Royale Kellner", assembled in 1931, was "only" $ 8.7 million. Would you like to leave a scratch on the stern of such a marvel of the automotive industry?
The second in the ranking are the most expensive cars in the world, produced in a single copy. The brainchild of the Maybach company, the Exelero model, for example, was valued at $8 million. Of the unique cars, it is worth mentioning the literally and figuratively brilliant Swedish "Koenigsegg Trevita" with a body made of composite coated with diamond powder (and this happens!), Estimated at $2.2 million.
The most expensive production cars in the world have a relatively "modest" price. The most expensive one issports brainchild of the Italian company "Bugatti Veyron". The 16-cylinder heart of this iron horse is fraught with 1200 hp. The cost of the model is 2.6 million, the car demonstrates a maximum speed of about 430 km / h. It has a removable carbon roof, easily turning into a convertible. In this form, its maximum is 370 km / h. The next position is shared between the car "Ferrari 599XX" and the mysterious "prince of Denmark" with space design - "Zenvo ST1". Their price is 1.7 - 1.8 million $.
The most expensive cars in the world usually have a sports modification, have unique dynamics (they gain 100 km / h in some 2, 4-2, 9 seconds) and are produced in small series.
On the global car market there is constant competition between the luxury car brands Bentley, Bugatti, Maserati, Ferrari, Maybach, Rolls-Royce. We althy people appreciate the special comfort and characteristics of their non-trivial cars. For example, David Beckham does not care for the soul (for which they even tease him) in his Rolls-Royce black Phantom pacer, preferring it from all his "stable". Glamorous Paris Hilton has a favorite girlfriend from Bentley, of course, mother-of-pearl pink (did you think some other?) color. She chose the Continental JT model for herself. Cristiano Ronaldo fans know that he loves his 599th Ferrari.
An essential condition limiting the use of these super-expensivecoupe, we have their low ground clearance, not exceeding 10 cm. These "foreigners", of course, prefer autobahns. Agree, if rich entrepreneurs buy them, then this is normal. Questions arise when the above brands appear in government officials or their children. But this is a topic for another article.
