50 Most Expensive Vehicles

The eight-generation Phantom is likely what pops into your head when you think of a Rolls-Royce. That’s partly because the British marque has been using the name across a variety of models for nearly 100 years now, but also because the full-size saloon is about as grand as cars get these days. The current Phantom, which made its debut last year, is an elegant four-door with a powerful twin-turbocharged V-12 beneath its hood that produces 563 hp and 664 ft lbs of torque. Of course, if you prefer to be driven, the car is just as satisfying thanks to an ultra-quiet and elegant interior decorated to your exact specification.

Purists hate when a beloved automaker tries to shake things up. This is doubly true when the marque in question is Ferrari. Still, we find it hard to imagine there’s anyone that’s still skeptical of the SF90 Stradale. The brand’s first plug-in hybrid and all-wheel-drive sports car looks like it’ll be one of the defining cars of its era. That’s because the vehicle pairs a brash and angular design with next-level performance. In fact, the SF90 Stradale launched as the most powerful Ferrari of all time, with a combined 986 hp (769 of which comes from its twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8). And if you enjoy feeling the wind blow through your hair, just know that the convertible delivers the same jaw-dropping performance.

Aston Martin Vantage GT3 — $726,000

The next-generation Aston Martin Vantage may not be expensive enough to make this list—the slick coupé starts around $200,000—but its customer race car equivalent costs more than enough. The track-focused vehicle has been heavily modified for endurance racing and features a roll cage, updated suspension, and an all-new aero package that includes a giant rear wing. It’s powered by the same twin-turbocharged 4.0 V-8 as the road car, but the mill has actually been detuned so that it only produces between 500 and 600 hp, the GT3 limit. Aston Martin hasn’t said how many examples it will build but expects to have 30 on race tracks around the world by year’s end.
