If you’re like me, you probably love to dream about owning a supercar or a hypercar someday. You know, those insanely fast, powerful, and beautiful machines that make your jaw drop and your heart race. But how much do these cars cost? And which ones are the most expensive in the world?
Well, I did some research and found out the answers to these burning questions. And let me tell you, the prices are mind-blowing. Some of these cars cost more than a private jet, a yacht, or even a small island. And they are so rare and exclusive that you probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting your hands on one.
But hey, it doesn’t hurt to dream, right? So let’s take a look at the 10 most expensive cars you can (actually) buy in 2024, from the least to the most pricey. And by “actually” buy, I mean that these cars are either new or still in production, so you don’t have to worry about auction prices or secondhand sales. Of course, you still have to worry about availability, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and all that boring stuff. But let’s ignore that for now and just enjoy the ride.
