aerodynamic scheme for
the Valkyrie that channels
air through the chassis and
creates downforce without
the help of a wings.
The engine will be a 6.5-liter,
naturally-aspirated V-12
tailored to the frame by
Cosworth, and was made
to achieve the magical 1:1
power-to-weight ratio.
The Valkyrie is not a car for
casual buyers of supercars.
Marek Reichman, Aston
Martin’s designer, said the
car-which has a Rimac-
built hybrid battery system
installed along with the
engine-will make about
1,000 horsepower.
7- Ferrari Pininfarina
Sergio - $3 million:
Only six of these
preposterous Ferraris
were ever made. The very
expensive Ferrari Pininfarina
Sergio was created in
homage to the famed son
of the founder of Pininfarina
the year that he died. It was
originally presented as a
concept car in 2013, the
Sergio grew on Ferrari just
enough to for them to green-
light a six-car production run
based on the Ferrari 458
Spider.
Thanks to an all-carbon-
fiber frame, the hand-made
Sergio is a full 330 pounds
lighter than the already waif-
like 458. Arranged in a two-
seat configuration, it takes
the open-air concept even
further. Where the Ferrari
458 Spider has no roof, the
Sergio has no roof, no side
windows, and windshield.
That makes the force of this
naturally-aspirated 4.5-liter
F136F V-8 engine-the same
one used the 458 Spider-all
the more forceful.
8- Pagani Huayra BC -
$2.8 million:
For those among you who
didn’t think it could get
more extreme that the
Pagani Huayra, we give
you the Huayra BC, the
most expensive Pagani
ever made. The BC stands
for Benny Caiola, an Italian
investor who may have
owned one of the best
collections of Ferraris in
the world. Caiola was one
of Horacio Pagani’s oldest
friends and mentors, and
this car takes Pagani’s
obsessive approach to detail
to even more mental levels.
The BC looks and sounds
like the “base” Huayra: The
engine is still sourced from
AMG, and remains a 6.0-liter
V-12 bi-turbo that’s been
