We’ve assembled the list of the 100 most expensive cars ever. Most of these cars were sold at auction and reach millions of dollars each.
We will also try to keep thislist of themost expensive cars updated since it seems a new record is set every few months – most of the records are all in the last few years.
The majority of the top cars are Ferrari’s with a smattering of Bugatti, Mercedes-Benz, McLaren and Aston Martin Pre-war cars continue to do well, but more recently we’re starting to see modern classics like the McLaren F1 and Ferrari Enzo start to command solid values.
