This ranking presents the 20 most expensive automobiles available for purchase in 2023, focusing on production supercars and hypercars. Excluded from this list are bespoke customizations, special orders, auction vehicles, and pre-owned sales exceeding original MSRP. Limited-production special editions with exceptionally high valuations are also not included.
Rolls-Royce Boat Tail
Price: $28.0 Million (approximately 943.6 million THB)
The Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is a unique, coachbuilt masterpiece, meticulously crafted by hand for its discerning owner. Building upon the legacy of the 2017 Sweptail (valued at $12.8 million), the Boat Tail features a distinctive two-tone exterior, a bespoke high-end interior, and even includes a “hosting suite” complete with a champagne fridge. While Rolls-Royce has not officially disclosed the price for this one-off commission, it is widely reported to be $28.0 million.
Bugatti La Voiture Noire
Price: $13.4 Million (approximately 451.58 million THB)
With a price tag of $13.4 million, the one-off Bugatti La Voiture Noire is officially the most expensive new Bugatti ever produced. This modern interpretation of Jean Bugatti’s personal Type 57 SC Atlantic is powered by the same 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine found in the Chiron, delivering 1,479 horsepower. It features a custom-designed fascia and a prominent rear light bar spelling out the brand’s name. This Bugatti has already found a buyer.
Rolls-Royce Sweptail
Price: $12.8 Million (approximately 431.36 million THB)
The Rolls-Royce Sweptail, a unique creation unveiled in 2017, secured the third spot on this list. Priced at $13.0 million at its debut, it was then the most expensive new car ever made. This luxurious vehicle, producing 453 horsepower, showcases exceptional craftsmanship.
Bugatti Chiron Profilée
Price: $10.8 Million (approximately 363.96 million THB)
While sharing a visual resemblance with the standard Chiron, the Profilée is exceptionally rare. Initially conceived as a limited-production variant, this particular Chiron remains the sole example produced. It utilizes the same 1,476 horsepower quad-turbo W16 engine found across the Chiron lineup. Distinctive design elements, including a unique body and a custom rear spoiler, set it apart.
Bugatti Centodieci
Price: $9.0 Million (approximately 303.30 million THB)
Bugatti unveiled the Centodieci at Pebble Beach Car Week, showcasing another limited-edition, ultra-expensive model. With a production run limited to just 10 units, the Centodieci serves as a modern homage to the Bugatti EB110 and celebrates Bugatti’s 110th anniversary. While its polarizing design may not appeal to everyone, its exclusivity is undeniable. Priced at $9.0 million, it stands as one of the most exclusive vehicles ever created.
Mercedes-Maybach Exelero
Price: $8.0 Million (approximately 269.60 million THB)
Commissioned by Fulda, a German subsidiary of Goodyear, to test new high-performance tires, the Mercedes-Benz Maybach Exelero made its debut in 2004. Built upon the Maybach platform, it is equipped with a twin-turbocharged V12 engine producing 690 horsepower and 752 lb-ft of torque. Its top speed is 218 mph (350 km/h). Adjusted for inflation, its modern equivalent price would exceed $10 million.
Pagani Codalunga
Price: $7.4 Million (approximately 249.38 million THB)
Pagani’s expensive new creations continue with the Codalunga, inspired by 1960s Italian coachbuilding. Its stunning exterior and steampunk-inspired interior are just part of what makes this Pagani so valuable. Underneath its sculpted body lies a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine producing 829 horsepower and 809 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed sequential transmission for a race-car-like experience. This limited edition of five Pagani models is priced at $7.4 million.
SP Automotive Chaos
Price: $6.4 Million (approximately 215.68 million THB)
SP Automotive (Spyros Panopoulos) is a relatively new name in the hypercar segment. However, its $6.4 million, 2,000 horsepower Chaos has made a significant impact. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V10 engine, the SP Automotive Chaos ranks among the most expensive vehicles on this list, surpassing many Lamborghinis and Bugattis. An even more potent variant is reportedly available with 3,000 horsepower, priced at $14.4 million.
Bugatti Divo
Price: $5.8 Million (approximately 195.46 million THB)
Among Bugatti’s recent offerings, the Divo stands out. While sharing components with the less expensive Chiron, the Divo justifies its premium price with several enhancements. Lighter wheels, carbon fiber intercoolers, and noise reduction measures make the Divo 77 pounds lighter than the Chiron. While its 1,500 horsepower engine remains the same, the Divo features revised aerodynamic settings, enabling it to lap the Nardo test track 8 seconds faster. Bugatti is producing a limited run of 40 units, each priced at $5.8 million.
Pagani Huayra Imola
Price: $5.4 Million (approximately 181.98 million THB)
While the new Utopia represents Pagani’s next step, the Huayra Imola packs a similar punch with its twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine, producing 827 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque. The Huayra Imola is expected to be priced around $5.4 million, making it the second most expensive Pagani to date.
Bugatti Mistral
Price: $5.0 Million (approximately 168.50 million THB)
The Bugatti Mistral bids farewell to the iconic W16 engine with a flourish. Producing 1,577 horsepower and featuring an open-top design, the Mistral blends the best of the Chiron with elements from the Bolide and Divo to create a truly unique roadster. Bugatti plans to build only 99 examples of the Mistral, with an approximate price of $5.0 million in the United States.
Bugatti Bolide
Price: $4.7 Million (approximately 158.39 million THB)
With an extremely limited production run based on the Chiron platform, the Bolide track-focused hypercar, one of 40 units, commands a significant price. Priced at $4.7 million, this 1,824 horsepower hypercar boasts more power than the Chiron Super Sport 300+ and a more aggressive aerodynamic body, theoretically enabling it to achieve record-breaking lap times on circuits like the Nürburgring.
Lamborghini Veneno
Price: $4.5 Million (approximately 151.65 million THB)
Lamborghini produced only 14 examples of the Aventador-based Veneno between 2014 and 2015, with each unit costing approximately $4.5 million, depending on specifications. Available in both roadster and coupe configurations, the Veneno features a more potent version of the Aventador’s 6.5-liter V12 engine, producing 740 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. To date, it remains the most expensive new Lamborghini ever produced.
Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+
Price: $3.9 Million (approximately 131.43 million THB)
Bugatti captured global attention with its achievement of breaking the 300 mph barrier in a modified Chiron Super Sport 300+. This road-legal production version, limited to just 30 units, celebrates this milestone. The Super Sport 300+ features a sleek, aerodynamic body and distinctive stripes. Despite its name, Bugatti has limited the top speed of each car to “only” 277 mph. Production commenced this year.
Koenigsegg CC850
Price: $3.7 Million (approximately 124.69 million THB)
The Koenigsegg CC850 is a remarkable and welcome surprise. It borrows the twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 engine from the Jesko, delivering a peak output of 1,385 horsepower and 1,022 lb-ft of torque. It features a unique transmission system called “TWMPAFMPC” that allows seamless switching between manual and automatic modes. This combination of advanced performance technology comes with a starting price of $3.7 million.
Lamborghini Sian
Price: $3.6 Million (approximately 121.32 million THB)
While based on the Aventador SVJ, this aggressive Lamborghini is the brand’s first hybrid production car. In addition to the 6.5-liter V12 engine from the SVJ, the Sian incorporates a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. The combined output of the powertrain is 819 horsepower, making it the most powerful Lamborghini to date. Lamborghini will produce only 63 units, with each model priced above the Aventador SVJ at $3.6 million.
Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport
Price: $3.6 Million (approximately 121.32 million THB)
Another special edition unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the Chiron Pur Sport is a unique Chiron variant focused on aerodynamics, weight reduction, and power delivery. It uses the same 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine, now paired with a retuned automatic transmission. While peak horsepower remains unchanged at 1,500 hp, the redline has been raised by 200 rpm to 6,900 rpm. The Pur Sport also features subtle aerodynamic enhancements, including a larger rear wing and a more aerodynamically optimized front fascia. Production began in late 2020 with a starting price of $3.6 million.
Pagani Huayra Roadster BC
Price: $3.5 Million (approximately 117.95 million THB)
Last year, the company officially debuted the Huayra Roadster BC, a topless marvel producing 800 horsepower and 774 lb-ft of torque. Notably, the Pagani offers 50 horsepower more than its coupe counterpart, thanks to its AMG-sourced twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine. Beyond the exhilarating engine note with the roof removed, owners can be assured of the car’s rarity, as Pagani has limited production to 40 units, each priced at $3.5 million.
McLaren Solus
Price: $3.5 Million (approximately 117.95 million THB)
With a single-seat configuration, 829 horsepower, and a top speed exceeding 200 mph, the new McLaren Solus closely resembles a factory Formula 1 car. Powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine, it achieves 0-62 mph in just 2.5 seconds. The estimated price for the McLaren Solus is approximately $3.5 million.
W Motors Lykan Hypersport
Price: $3.4 Million (approximately 114.58 million THB)
In 2013, Dubai-based W Motors stunned the automotive world with its Lykan Hypersport supercar. Featuring titanium LED headlights adorned with 240 diamonds and a holographic dashboard display, its high price point at launch was understandable. While it has slipped to sixth place on this list, it remains a formidable hypercar with a powerful 3.7-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine producing 780 horsepower and 708 lb-ft of torque.
