Top 10 Most Expensive Cars for 2010
Koenigsegg Trevita
The Koenigsegg Trevita took number one spot, clocking in at an eye-watering $2.21 million.
Only three of these exclusive models will be made by Sweden-based Koenigsegg, hence the name; “Trevita” means “three Whites” in Sweden.
The Trevita is a white, diamond-coated version of the Koenigsegg CCXR, meaning that for the first time, the world’s most expensive car runs on biofuel.
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport
Millionaires’ favorite the Bugatti Veyron came in second place with its Grand Sport model. Production of the softtop began in spring 2009 and with a top speed of 406 km/h, it is the second fastest car in the world.
$2 million (€1.43m)
Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster
At number three the Pagani Cinque Roadster. This car takes advantage of the incredibly light carbon-titanium fibre body used in the previous Cinque to keep weight down at only 1 210 kg, that’s exactly the same as the Coupe.
Pagani has a zero to 100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds and a zero to 200 km/h time of 9.6 seconds, again exactly the same as the coupe.
Produced in a limited run of five.
$1.8 million (€1.29m)

Lamborghini Reventón
Lamborghini Reventón hard top comes in at number Five. The engine hood is made of glass laminate with open ventilation slits offering a glimpse at the large 6.5-liter V12 engine. The Reventon delivers 650 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque.
The Reventon is available in only a single color, specially created for the Reventon model, and named after it. The color is a mid opaque green/grey that lacks traditional high gloss, but retains depth with the use of special metallic particles
$1.42 million (€1.02m)
Maybach Landaulet
Maybach Landaulet comes in a number six. True to the tradition of exclusive landaulets, the semi-automatic roof can be opened fully at the rear, while the chauffeur's compartment remains completely closed. Passengers are then able to enjoy the clear, blue sky above.

Koenigsegg CCXR
Koenigsegg CCXR is a derivative of the CCX, with a highly modified engine that can run on E85 and E100 Biofuel as well as normal 98 octane petrol (Europe).
When run on regular petrol, the 4.7 litre twin-supercharged Koenigsegg engine delivers 806 Bhp, but this figure rises to an astonishing 1018 Bhp when the car is run on E85 Biofuel.
