Price: $17.5 million

Among the top 3 most expensive cars in the world, we have the Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta. The Pagani Zonda is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Pagani. It debuted at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show. By 2019, a total of 140 cars had been built. The Zonda HP Barchetta was unveiled at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance as a present to the company’s founder, Horacio Pagani for his 60th birthday as well as to commemorate the 18th anniversary of the Zonda. The Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta is powered by a 7.3-liter V12 engine tailored by Mercedes-Benz’s AMG division. The powertrain is rated at 789 hp and 627 pound-foot of torque making it the most powerful road-legal Zonda ever produced. It borrows its seats and suspension from the Huayra BC along with its power output being identical to the BC with the only difference being that the BC has a Bi-turbo engine while the HP Barchetta is naturally aspirated. Production is limited to just 3 units with one unit retained for Horacio Pagani’s personal collection. The Zonda HP Barchetta marks an end to Zonda’s production run, and the other two are worth about $17.5 million each.
