A car, as one popular saying goes, is not a luxury, but a means of transportation. It is worth noting that this expression does not entirely correspond to reality. Some brands of cars cost as much as a small private jet, and are even more expensive to maintain.
In fact, it is impossible to unequivocally state that this or that specimen is the most expensive in the world. There are many reasons for this.
- Firstly, car manufacturers are constantly improving their own designs and regularly releasing really cool models, the prices of which are beyond the reach of even many very rich people.
- And secondly, rare specimens are adding to their already honorable age every day, which again makes them even more expensive.
And yet, let’s try to determine the most expensive car at the current time and understand what is so special about it that attracts the envious gaze of its owners simple machines, and the close attention of the wealthiest people on the planet.
The most expensive rare car
The most expensive rare car in the world is considered to be the Bugatti Type Atlantic (1936). Just a few years ago, this copy was purchased by an American museum from a private collector for the amount of 40 million US dollars. Such a mind-boggling cost is explained by the fact that initially the plant produced only 4 cars, and at the moment there are only 2 left. 
Despite its advanced age, this supercar has a 3.3-liter engine and is capable of speeds of up to 200 km/h. As you understand, for the 30s of the twentieth century this figure seemed simply incredible.
The most expensive production car
To date, the most expensive car put into production is the Lamborghini Veneno. It was born in 2013 in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the brand and currently costs approximately 4.5 million US dollars. Such a high cost is justified by the fact that although it is in fact considered serial, only a few similar copies have been produced so far. 
Otherwise, its characteristics are far from the most impressive:
- engine power – 750 hp. With.;
- maximum speed – 350 km/h;
- acceleration dynamics - 2.8 seconds to hundreds.
This specimen is far from cheap to maintain and is close to this indicator to the most expensive in the world.
Most Expensive Luxury Car
The Maybach brand car called Exelero was released in a single copy and is rightfully considered one of the most luxurious sports cars in the world. The Maybach Exelero is a unique combination of a luxury limousine and a sports car.
The model has a 6-liter engine and weighs more than 2.5 tons. Accelerates to hundreds in 4.4 seconds, which is a decent indicator for a car with such an impressive weight. Its maximum speed is 350 km/h. This miracle of German engineering costs $8,000,000. 
The safety of the driver and passenger, as well as the comfort of the two-seater cabin, are currently close to the standard. True, since Exelero is presented in a single copy, one can only guess how expensive it is to maintain.
The most expensive SUV
Probably the most expensive SUV in the world today is the Latvian Dartz Prombon. The windows of the Monaco Diamond Edition Red are covered with gold and, in addition, can withstand a burst from a Kalashnikov assault rifle. The car is armored and therefore weighs almost four tons. The Dartz Prombon dashboard is inlaid with gold and diamonds. 
Such an “armored car” costs about one and a half million dollars, so only truly “tough guys” can afford it. By the way, to the creation of the expensive SUV engineers from Russia have had a hand in the world. The emblem in the form of a hammer and sickle clearly hints at this, and a set of three bottles of the most expensive Russian vodka in the world comes as a gift when purchasing a car.
The most expensive Russian-made car
The Russian car RussoBalt Impression is considered one of the most expensive and luxurious. The radiator grille is decorated with a double-headed eagle, dashboard made from the rarest African wood, other interior details are also implemented at a very high level. 
The design of the car coupe was developed in the style of Bugatti of the 50s. RussoBalt Impression is going to German factory several cars a year, so it can’t be called a production car. It was released in honor of the brand's centenary; such a work of automotive art costs about two million US dollars.
The most expensive hybrid car
One of the most expensive hybrid cars in the world is the Ferrari LaFerrari. This specimen is equipped with a powerful engine and, in addition, an additional 120 kilowatt electric motor. Costs from $1,800,000. 
The most voracious cars
Bentley Meteor is recognized as the most voracious car on the planet with aircraft engine V12 Rolls-Royce, with a power of 2000 horses and a volume of 27 liters.
For 100 kilometers of the journey, this “beast” drinks:
- about 120 liters of fuel;
- more than 50 liters of engine and 15 transmission oil.
Among the production cars with an increased appetite are:
Oldsmobile Toronado - 47 liters, for which it was discontinued by government order in 1977.
Bugatti Veyron has a capacity of 35 liters, which is not surprising considering that the engine alone has 4 turbines. 
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, Lamborghini Murcielago - consume 30 liters, as befits top-class sports cars. It is unlikely that fuel consumption will confuse someone who is ready to shell out millions for the car itself.
Hammer H2 - 28 liters per 100 km.
Bentley Brooklands - average consumption 27 per hundred. 
Although the Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Tahoe are equipped with the same engine as the Hummer, thanks to better aerodynamics they consume a little less - some 21 liters.
Even people who don’t understand cars at all, if an expensive car passes by, turn around to follow the cars that are rushing through the city streets every now and then. However, not everyone can afford to purchase expensive car. Practical people always think about how much money they will have to spend on routine maintenance and repairs, how large the amount will be insurance premium, and how much unwanted attention this extravagant purchase will attract. Be that as it may, deep down, most of us dream of driving a beautiful, high-quality and fast car. That is why we present to your attention top 10 most expensive cars in the world as of 2015 year, compiled by Forbes magazine journalists. This list includes one participant each from the world's leading manufacturers. The list will be maintained from 10th place to first. At the same time, only those that will be released during this year are taken into account, and not vintage and rare models from previous years. This list will surprise some, will delight others, and will force others to work even harder and harder to be able to afford luxury, and not just a means of transportation.
It's hard to believe, but the full development cycle of this car took only 5 months, starting with the creation of preliminary sketches and ending with the assembly of a working test copy.
Under the hood of the hybrid supercar is not only a 4.6 liter gasoline engine with a power of 570 hp, but also an electric one power unit, consisting of two engines with a total power of 230 hp. Thus, the use of the latest technologies not only equipped it with maximum performance, but also made it very economical (when driving in mixed mode, consumption will be 3 liters of gasoline per 100 km). German engineers equipped the flagship Porsche model 7-speed gearbox.
- One of its main advantages is the ability to accelerate the hybrid to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds.
- The maximum speed it can accelerate to new Porsche, 320 km/h.
- At the same time, on electric power alone, this amazing unit can travel at a speed of 150 km/h.
- Serial Porsche release 918 will be limited.
- It is planned to assemble a symbolic number of hybrid supercars - 918.

Over many years of operation on Russian roads, the car Renault Logan proved to be an unpretentious and reliable transport unit, which became a real helper and friend for many Russians.

This car deserves to take one of the prizes in our rating. In its price, it is not far behind the domestic Lada Granta, and is a quite comfortable means of transportation, despite its cheap cost. This is not to say that the car is not assembled well, but sometimes you can still find glaring flaws in the form of plastic interior trim that is not fully latched. It is the fact that this is rare that allows the build quality to have absolutely no influence on the buyer’s choice.
In terms of comfort, the Ravon Nexia R3 may well give a head start to its closest competitors - Grant and Logan. At the same time, criticism is caused by the suspension being too stiff and the sound insulation being insufficient, but for this price segment it is not entirely correct to call such things a disadvantage.

Rating (2019): 4.4
If you need an SUV, the reliability of components and build quality of which does not cause even the slightest criticism, and your budget is limited, you should pay attention to SUZUKI JIMNY. This is the most economical SUV– fuel consumption is just under 8 liters per hundred. The engine with a volume of only 1.3 liters seems weak for off-road use, but due to the light weight of the car, it copes with the tasks quite well (especially since the engine has two camshafts, and its traction characteristics look pretty decent). Frame structure of the car body and short wheelbase provide excellent maneuverability in difficult rocky areas.
Adjustable wheel drive and high ground clearance are obvious advantages of this model. SUZUKI JIMNY has a rather simple interior and lacks many of the options of more respectable jeeps, but in terms of cross-country ability it is not inferior to them at all. Very soon (in the next 6 months) sales of the 4th generation of this model will begin in Russia, in which, in addition to fresh design solutions, a more powerful engine will finally appear. However, the cost of such a car will no longer be one of the cheapest and most affordable.
