A car is a means of transportation. Exactly. But when it comes to the latest generation of supercars, the first thought is that a car is a luxury item, and only then a means of very fast movement.
"All that glitters is not gold" - the saying goes. But it loses its meaning when it comes to the most expensive supercars. You can only say about them: "They shine, and absolutely everything is worth its weight in gold." Many supercars are so cool that even those who fire up their fireplaces with $ 100 bills cannot afford them. The point is that sometimes the manufacturing company itself decides who will be the owner of its brainchild. So, for example, the Ferrari concern behaves. So, the bohemian seven, which has conquered the whole world with its incredible and dizzying chic. Go!
Lamborghini Veneno
In 2013, the Italian concern Lamborghini created and released a miniseries of the incredible and ultra-modern sports car Lamborghini Veneno. I must say that this is not just a miniseries. It consists of only three vehicles. The cost of each is 3,400,000 euros. It is not surprising that the owners of sports cars appeared long before their victorious publication. The car made a splash and literally drove everyone into a stupor with its deafening appearance. Probably, if the space dish suddenly appeared at the exhibition, it would not have been noticed at all, considering the Lamborghini Veneno.
A little about the name of these three "beauties". Veneno is Spanish for poison. That was the name of the bull, which was incredibly aggressive. In 1914, in the Spanish city of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Veneno's bull killed the famous bullfighter Jose Rodriguez in a bullfight. By analogy, the supercar's appearance is no less aggressive than that of its prototype. His appearance is amazing, from whatever angle you look. Everything here is on the verge of a foul. It seems, in another moment, and the sports car will disappear like a pipe mirage or melt away like a wonderful dream. Closing the eyes from the dazzling shine and opening them again, a "devilish" front end with Y-shaped headlights appears, a squat silhouette with inexplicable wheel arches and a menacing keel on the roof. All this expression is complemented by a huge spoiler, stern with breathtaking lanterns and an impressive diffuser.
Mercedes-Benz Maybach
This "purebred handsome" was specially designed as a sports car for millionaires. Its cost is $ 8,000,000. You look at it and understand that this technical miracle is not just a means, even for very fast movement, but practically a living organism with its own complex character. And you need remarkable strength to conquer this dexterous "horse".
Ferrari Sergio Pininfarina
The Italian concern Ferrari has released a serial supercar in memory of the great Sergio Pininfarina, who died on July 3, 2012. He was the talented head of the Pininfarina house and an internationally renowned automotive auto designer. The basis for this new product was the Ferrari 458 Speciale concept. The newest supercar differs from the basic one by the presence of glazing and a modern modified design. Similar to the 1965 Ferrari Dino prototype, which was the first solo project of Sergio Pininfarina from Ferrari, as well as the Mythos and Modulo concept cars, the design of this supercar is a car that demonstrates absolute purity of design. This is achieved through the use of simple and sensual elements. It seems as if the creators deliberately abandoned the "sophistication" of forms and internal content. But that didn't make the car any less posh. Ferrari has built six Sergio units since 2015 and sold them to selected customers. Each costs $ 5,000,000. An Arab sheikh became one of the first owners of Ferrari Sergio Pininfarina cars. This "iron horse" was given to him on the day of the premiere in Abu Dhabi.
Koenigsegg CCXR
This supercar produced by Koenigsegg has become one of the most expensive production cars. The koenigsegg hybrid is a "green" version of the CCX model, with a redesigned twin-chamber supercharger, with a V8 engine from the CCX model, using both E85 or E100 (ethanol) biofuels and standard 98 octane gasoline. Developed to be one of the fastest in the world serial production cars. In 2010, the Swedes released the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita. It has a body made of carbon fiber and trevita diamond coating. Translated from Swedish, this name means "three whites". The cost of the sports car Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita is 4,850,000 US dollars.
Lykan HyperSport
This is a Lebanese limited-production hypercar from Wolf Motors. The company, founded in 2012 in Lebanon, is still quite young, but has already loudly declared itself to the whole world. The hypercar has been developed by Lebanese auto specialists for 6 years. And then, by the joint efforts of Arab, Lebanese, French and Italian engineers, the model of this supercar was finalized. Today the company is relocated to the UAE. The first model was presented in 2013 in Monaco. Later, the serial prototype took part in the Qatar International Motor Show. The series included the production of 7 cars per year. Sheikh of Qatar Yavan bin Hamad Al Thani became the first buyer of Lykan HyperSport. The cost of this car was 3.4 million US dollars.
Vivere Diamond Edition
This supercar, named after the legendary racer Pierre Veyron, who won the race in 1939, appeared in 2014, was produced in a friendly tandem of the Bugatti concern (France) and the Mansory company (Germany).
Mansory is a German luxury car modification company. The head center is located in Brand. In addition to these cars, he is engaged in tuning supercars, SUVs and motorcycles. The effect of the edition is stunning. Moti's new Vivere Diamond Edition body is made up of super-cool modified fenders, a shortened bonnet, a striking front apron and a brand new carbon fiber bump for extra downforce. LED daytime running lights integrated into the dash and new air intakes with eyebrow optics create a modern new take on what is now classic. The cost of the model is 3.4 million US dollars.
Aston martin valkyrie
The Valkyrie is Aston Martin's first powerful hypercar, and the company has gone to great lengths to make its creation not just great, but really fast and resilient. Serial production of 150 cars is planned, but all of them already have owners. The cost of this model is $ 3.2 million, including delivery of the vehicle, starting in 2019. The Valkyrie is one of the most expensive cars in the world, and its price is well justified by combining Red Bull's Formula 1 experience with Aston Martin's heritage to create a sensational car with excellent road performance.
All of these vehicles are undoubtedly the product of absolute luxury and comfort. They have serious power and cutting edge design. And even though the majority of cars of this class cannot afford it, and they can only dream of making a souvenir photo against their magnificent background, but if they are produced, then someone needs it.
Well, but seriously, when you look at these works of art, you cannot call them any other way, pride for the human mind and amazing human capabilities is born in the heart. After all, until recently, everyone moved by horse-drawn transport and managed to "grow up and grow old" during the journey. And today, huge distances intersect almost at the speed of light.
