From time to time, I come across top-10 most-expensive car lists. The cars aren’t always the same on every list. But it doesn’t matter. The lists are always great reads.
The latest version is from the John and Deleen site. I don’t know who the folks are, but they’ve put together a nice post. Here’s the description from the site of the Bugatti Veyron. It’s listed as the most expensive car in the world at $1.7 million.
“The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the most powerful, most expensive, and fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a proven top speed of over 253 mph).
“It
reached full production in September 2005. The car is built by Volkswagen AG subsidiary Bugatti Automobiles SAS and is sold under the legendary Bugatti marque. It is named after racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti firm. The Veyron features a W16 engine—16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders.”
