Worlds Most Expensive Cars

Top 10 Most Expensive Cars In The World For 2014

Engine: 621 bhp, 6.0-litre, bi-turbo V-12

0-60 mph: 4.2 seconds

Starting price: £164,815

The Mercedes-Benz AMG was once a separate company that tuned up standard Mercedes-Benz models. Bigger and more powerful engines are the heart and soul of the AMG treatment, even though the company became a wholly owned subsidiary years ago. The engine in the Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Coupe is a handcrafted V-12. The AMG tradition is that the individual master craftsman who builds each engine puts his signature on it when he’s finished. That’s not to say the end product is some quaint relic. Top speed is 186 mph; this is not bad for a car that could be used as a family car, unlike a two-seat race car.

 

9. Aston Martin Vanquish

Country of Origin: United Kingdom

Engine: 565 bhp, 6.0-litre V-12

0-62 mph: 4.1 seconds

Starting price: £189,995

The Aston Martin Vanquish is a two-door powerhouse coupe, which comes as a convertible as well, called the Volante. It is the first Aston Martin with lightweight but strong carbon-fibre body panels.

Aston Martin calls the customized collection of options “Q by Aston Martin.” Aston Martin’s brand is caught up with classic James Bond movies.

Country of Origin: United Kingdom

Engine: 505 bhp, 6.75-litre, twin-turbo V-8

0-60 mph: 5.1 seconds

Starting price: £224,700

Bentley has called the Bentley Mulsanne “the grandest of grand tourers.” The interior has high end features like wood veneers and leather upholstery made from “blemish-free” hides, from herds raised in cooler climates where there are very few insects. Having said that, performance is pretty mind blowing considering it weighs almost 6,000 pounds.The Mulsanne continues in 2014 with the 6.75-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 making 505 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque. A ZF eight-speed transmission sends power to the rear wheels.

Country of Origin: Italy

Engine: 740 bhp, 6.3-litre, V-12

0-62 mph: 3.1 seconds

The Ferrari F12berlinetta can reach speeds of “over 211 mph,” Ferrari said. Not only that, it reaches 125 mph in only 8.5 seconds. Ferrari says it has the fastest acceleration of any road-going Ferrari – as opposed to Ferrari race cars, which are stuck to the track. The engine of the F12berlinetta has been designed to be more efficient than that of the 599, as well as more powerful. The engine management system is fitted with Ferrari's HELE start-stop system to reduce fuel consumption when idling. Ferrari reports that the F12berlinetta can achieve 18 mpg.

0-60 mph: 5.8 seconds

Starting price: £296,875

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase model is nine inches longer than the standard version. The extra room is most noticeable in the back seat, where the owner presumably will spend a lot of their time being chauffeured around. The brand image is a little old-fashioned but Rolls-Royce’s current cars have high-tech features like new 5 location camera system to watch out for obstacles when parking, and to project the predicted path on a screen when reversing.

Engine: 887 bhp, 4.6-litre V-8 with two electric motors

The lightweight, even more racing-oriented Weissach Package of options boosts the sticker price to around £565,000.
