When asked what they'd do if they were to win the lottery tomorrow, many people immediately say that they would finally buy the car of their dreams. Cars are huge status symbols, and since we spend so much time in them getting from A to B every day, it makes sense that we'd want to spend all that commuting time in a vehicle we're truly in love with.
Unfortunately, cars are expensive, and many "dream cars" are way out of a "normal" person's price range. But maybe if you save up and win the lottery once or twice, you might be able to afford one of the most expensive cars on the market.
Even though the phrase "You get what you pay for" is pretty popular, it's not always true when it comes to cars. These vehicles manage to look super fancy without being super pricey, and for many of us, they're the closest we'll get to owning a real luxury car. But if you're willing to break open your (really, really big) piggy bank, you could be the proud owner of one of the most expensive production cars in the world today. These cars pack a lot of horsepower, a ton of speed, and many times, a really cool name.
Whether you're filthy rich or just dream of being filthy rich, take a look at the priciest production cars in the world today. Even an average Joe like you or me could get one if we wanted to… and had a few hundred-thousand dollars lying around, of course.
Make sure you SHARE these fancy vehicles with all the car lovers in your life!
1. Bentley Continental GT
This car has been in circulation since 2003, and it was the first Bentley car to be built using mass production techniques. It sells for about $201,225.
2. Aston Martin DB9
With a top speed of 183 mph, it's no wonder the DB9 has been modified for racing by Aston Martin Racing. You can get your own street-legal car for $202,775.
3. Ferrari California T
The T is an updated version of the Ferarri California. It features a turbocharged powertrain and 15 percent reduced emission pollution compared to the original California, and it can be yours if you have $202,723 to spare.
4. Lamborghini Huracán
This car's name means "hurricane" in Spanish, and its sleek, aggressive appearance certainly makes it look like the perfect storm. It boasts a Lamborghini Dynamic Steering system, which makes you feel like you're driving a race car instead of a normal street car. You can get it for $241,945.
5. Mercedes-AMG SL65
If you're going to buy an AMG model, you can rest assured that the steering, stability, and overall performance will be superior to that of a normal Mercedes vehicle. However, you'll have to be willing to pay quite a bit more to get it: $219,775 for the SL65, to be exact.
6. Bentley Continental GT Speed
With a top speed of 205 mph and the ability to hit 60 mph in just four seconds, the $242,125 it takes to own one of these cars will be well worth it to anyone who has a need for speed.
7. McLaren 650S Spider
With a price tag that reads at least $287,00, this car isn't for anyone on a budget. But if you want a vehicle that can hit 100 mph in under six seconds, it might be worth the splurge.
8. Bentley Bentayga
This 5-door luxury SUV features slick styling and full-time all-wheel drive, and it can be yours for just $229,100.
9. Ferrari 488 GTB
With a twin-turbocharged V8 and 661 hp, this car has some serious power that can be in your hands for just $242,737.
10. Aston Martin Vanquish
It looks like it was built for speed, but the Vanquish is actually built for traveling long distances in style. Take the fanciest road trip ever for $291,775.
11. Rolls-Royce Ghost
The Ghost is a luxury sedan with a GPS that senses the road ahead while you're driving and makes appropriate shifts to the transmission. If you want it to be all yours, you'll need to shell out about $300,450 for it.
12. Rolls-Royce Wraith
There's a reason this car looks so much like the Ghost: It's basically just a sportier version of the original. It also goes faster, handles better, and costs more… $306,350 to be exact.
13. Ferrari F12berlinetta
This is a high-speed, high-power car with rear-wheel drive and 730 horses under the hood. But it's also a Ferrari, so its outlandish price tag of $323,745 isn't completely surprising.
14. Bentley Mulsanne
This luxury car boasts a 6.75-liter twin-turbo V8 and 505 horsepower, but it also has the added bonus of looking like something your chauffeur might drive you around in. And if you can afford the $310,125 it takes to buy it, you can probably afford a chauffeur, too.
15. Hennessey Venom GT
To be fair, these cars are sold for production very rarely, but every now and again, "normal" folks can get their hands on one of these cars, which can reach up to 270 mph, if they have the $1.2 million required to pay for one.
16. Bugatti Chiron
This two-seat sports car has a 16-cylinder engine, 1,500 hp, and a top speed of 261 mph. When you win the lottery, you might be able to splurge on it for $2.6 million.
