AUTOMOBILES
with the three electric motors
dispersed between the
engine and the rear wheels,
the P1 LM produces a heroic
1000 horsepower.
These details may not
distinguish a car on this
list, which has high power
standards. The Lanzante
distinguishes itself is
in how smart it is. The
aerodynamics come to life
on track. A modified rear
wing and enlarged front
splitter join together with
dive planes that generate
an astounding 40 percent
increase in down force over
the P1 GTR.

4- Lykan HyperSport -
$3.4 million
Built by W Motors, the Lykan
HyperPport is legitimately
the first Arab supercar. We
know this because W Motors
is based in Lebanon, but
also because the HyperSport
is reckoned to be the first
car to have headlights with
embedded jewels. There
are titanium LED blades that
have a total of 420 15-karat
diamonds. However,
according to Lykan, buyers
have also selected rubies,
diamonds, yellow diamonds,
and sapphires. It’s powered
by a mid-rear mounted,
twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six
boxer that fires about 780
horsepower through the

rear wheels. It 0-62 in 2.8
seconds and has a blistering
top speed of 240 mphBut
really: The headlights are
made with 240 15-karat
diamonds. And that’s what
makes this one of the most
expensive cars in the world.
5- Bugatti Veyron by
Mansory Vivere - $3.4
million:
This list wouldn’t be
complete without some
version of the mighty Bugatti
Veyron. We’re shining our
spotlight on the the Mansory
Vivere edition here, because
not only is it one of the
fastest cars in the world, it’s
one of the most expensive.
Augmented by German
witch doctors Mansory, the
1,200-hp Veyron starts out
as a Grand Sport Vitesse
Roadster, only to be adorned
with a gorgeous carbon-
fiber body, a new spoiler
package, upgraded LED
lights, a revamped cabin,
and a redesigned front
grill. Further classifying the
Veyron as a work of art,
maps of historic race events
like the Targa Florio are
laser etched into the exterior
and interior. Oh, and it can
do 254 mph.
6- Aston Martin Valkyrie
$ 3 million:
There is no announced price
for the Aston Martin Valkyrie
yet. But a reliable source
said that if we put $3 million,
we’d be about right. This
car, until recently known as
the Aston Martin-Red Bull
AM-RB 001, is a culmination
of sorts of Aston Martin’s
visionary new president,
Andy Palmer, who has
ushered Aston Martin into
a new age of solvency and
relevance with a series of
killer cars. The Valkrie is the
most killer car of all.
Palmer and Red Bull
RAcing’s Adrian Newey and
Christian Horner agreed
to build the car over a pint
at a pub (true story). Thus
the partnership was born
between Aston and Red
Bull Racing’s Newey, the
aerodynamicist whose work
is largely responsible for Red
Bull’s multi-year dominance
in Formula One. Newey and
Aston Martin invented an
