TOP 10 MOST EXPENSIVE CARS!!!!!!
Here is the list of 10 most expensive cars in the world. At the top of the list is of course the legendary Bugatti Veyron, most expensive, most powerful, and fastest production car in the world.Remember, they do not have COE and road tax!!!!!!1. Bugatti Veyron US$1,700,000
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 400 km/h
(407 km/h or 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.
According
to Volkswagen, the final production Veyron engine produces between
1020 and 1040 metric hp (1006 to 1026 SAE net hp), so the car will be
advertised as producing "1001 horsepower" in both the US
and European markets. This easily makes it the most powerful
production road-car engine in history.
2. Ferrari Enzo US$1,000,000
The Enzo Ferrari, sometimes referred to as the the Ferrari Enzo and also
F60 is a 12-cylinder Ferrari supercar named after the company's

technology, such as a carbon-fiber body, F1-style sequential shift
transmission, and carbon-ceramic brake discs. Also used are
technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics. After a
maximum downforce of 1709 pounds (775 kg) is reached at 186 mph (301
km/h) the rear spoiler is actuated by computer to maintain that
downforce.
3. Pagani Zonda C12 F US$741,000

602 PS (443 kW/594 hp) with a special clubsport model producing 650
PS (478 kW/641 hp). The company promises a 3.2 second sprint to 60
mph (97 km/h, a top speed over 374 km/h (225 mph) and it will be the
queen in braking from 300 km/h to 0 (186 mph to 0). The Zonda F
clubsport has a power to weight ratio of 521 bhp/ton (384 W/kg) .
Compare, for example, the Enzo Ferrari which has a power to weight
ratio of 483 bhp/ton (356 W/kg).

abbreviation for Competition Coupe X. The X commemorates the 10th
anniversary of the completion and test drive of the first CC vehicle
in 1996. The CCX is intended to be more suitable for the U.S. market
and thus engineered to comply with US regulations. The CCX is powered
by a Koenigsegg designed and assembled, all aluminium, 4700 cm³
DOHC 32-valve V8 based on the Ford Modular engine architecture
enhanced with twin Rotrex centrifugal superchargers with response
system, 1.2 bar boost pressure and an 8.2:1 compression ratio. The
engine produces 806 hp (601 kW) and 678 lbf.ft (920 Nm) on 91 octane
(U.S. rating) gasoline, 850 hp (634 kW) on 96 octane (Euro rating)
gasoline and 900 hp (671 kW) on biofuel.

maximum speed of 330 km/h (206 mph), although road tests indicated
that in actuality the car could accelerate from 0-60 in under 3.5
seconds and to 0-100 in 6.8 seconds and has a top speed of
335-340km/h (209-212.5mph).
6. Mercedes SLR McLaren US$455,500
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is a sports car and supercar automobile
co-developed by DaimlerChrysler and McLaren Cars. It is assembled at
the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England. Most people presume

The car's base price is £300,000 or $455,500. The SLR has a supercharged 5.5
(5439cc) litre dry sumped 90 degree V8. It produces 466.8 kW at
6500rpm (626 hp) and 780 N·m (575 ft·lbf) torque at
3250 - 5000 rpm. 7. Maybach 62 US$385,250
The Maybach 57 and 62 were the first automobile models of the Maybach
brand since the brand's revival by DaimlerChrysler. They are derived
from the Mercedes-Benz Maybach concept car presented at the 1997
Tokyo Motorshow (which was based on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan).
DaimlerChrysler attempted to buy the Rolls-Royce/Bentley marque when
Vickers offered the company up for sale. When this attempt failed
(they were outbid by BMW and Volkswagen respectively) they introduced
the Maybach as a direct challenger in 2002. Both models are variants
of the same ultra-luxurious automobile. The model numbers reflect the
respective lengths of the automobiles in decimetres; the 57 is more
likely to be owner-driven while the longer 62 is designed with a
chauffeur in mind. The engine is a Mercedes-sourced 5.5-liter
twin-turbo V12, generating 550 hp.
8. Rolls-Royce Phantom US$320,000
The Rolls-Royce Phantom is a luxury saloon automobile made by Rolls-Royce

L, 48-valve, V12 engine that produces 453 hp (338 kW) and 531 ft·lbf
(720 N·m) of torque. The engine is derived from BMW's existing
V12 powerplant. It is 1.63 m (63 in) tall, 1.99 m (74.8 in) wide,
5.83 m (228 in) long, and weighs 2485 kg (5478 lb). The body of the

The Lamborghini Murciélago is a GT and supercar automobile made by
Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. and designed by Luc Donckerwolke. It
was introduced in 2002 as the successor to the Diablo. The body style
is a two door, two seat coupé. The LP640 version was
introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 2006. It features a
6.5 L engine, now producing 640 bhp, improving performance
substantially. There were also a few minor external changes,
primarily to the low air intakes.
10. Aston Martin Vanquish US$255,000
The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish is a supercar manufactured by Aston Martin
since 2001. It rose to fame after being featured as the official
James Bond car in Die Another Day, the twentieth James Bond film. In
the film, the Vanquish has the usual Bond film embellishments,
including active camouflage which rendered the vehicle virtually
invisible. The Vanquish is powered by a 5.9 L (5935 cc) 48-valve 60°
V12 engine, which produces 343 kW (460 hp) and 542 N·m (400
ft·lbf) of torque. It is controlled by a fly-by-wire throttle
and a 6 speed 'paddle shift' or semi-automatic transmission. A

Master of Puppets
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sudden dark is clear
Leading on your deaths construction
Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master
Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray
life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery

Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster

Master, Master, Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries
Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too
Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master
Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
