All about buying and selling cars

10 rarest cars. The rarest cars in the world

The top scorer in the history of the Swedish national team and part-time owner of an extensive collection of high-end cars, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, was spotted driving his new supercar. The striker swept through the center of Stockholm at the wheel of a bright yellow LaFerrari hypercar. However, in the football community to boast exclusive cars maybe not only Ibra.

Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti, Lionel Messi

Another connoisseur expensive cars - Argentinian Lionel Messi - recently won a 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti. The car cost the football player 32 million euros, and Cristiano Ronaldo became his main competitor in the fight for the lot. The sports car, which once set a lap record at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, can accelerate to 300 km / h without seat belts.

Koenigsegg CCX 11, Ronaldo


In addition to personal confrontation on the football field, Ronaldo and Messi are rivals in collecting high-end cars. Despite the fact that the most expensive sports car in the world went to the Argentinean, the Portuguese can boast of a more extensive fleet of vehicles, which currently has 19 cars. A special source of pride is the Koenigsegg CCX 11, which accelerates to “hundreds” in three seconds. Ronaldo had to pay about 400 thousand euros for this pleasure.

Audi R8 GT, Neymar


Barcelona striker Neymar, who is close to joining PSG, also spends a large chunk of his salary buying luxury cars. Most often, the Brazilian can be seen driving the Audi R8 GT supercar. The car is released in limited edition and is equipped with a 5.2-liter V10 engine with 553 recoil horsepower... From zero to "hundred" Audi R8 GT accelerates in 3.6 seconds, and its maximum speed reaches 320 km per hour.

Aston Martin One-77, Samuel It's O


The Aston Martin supercar was produced in a limited edition of 77 pieces. All cars were sold out a year before the car's premiere. Cameroon footballer Samuel Eto is currently driving one of them through the streets of Antalya, Turkey. Under the hood of the supercar there is a 12-cylinder V-shaped naturally aspirated 7.3-liter engine with a capacity of 760 horsepower.

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, El-Hadji Diouf


Senegalese striker El-Hadji Diouf cannot boast of outstanding sporting achievements, but he is regularly ranked among the players with the most luxurious cars. Having paid more than 500 thousand euros, the striker, at that time playing for Liverpool, became the owner of a chrome-plated Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Before that, residents of an English city had seen such a car only in the Need for Speed \u200b\u200bgame.

Ferrari 458 Italia, Mesut Ozil


The star of the movie "Transformers 3: The Dark Side of the Moon" - Ferrari 458 Italia - is estimated at about 190 thousand euros. Arsenal's German forward Mesut Ozil did not spare such money to buy a car. It is not known why the 570-horsepower mid-engine supercar did not suit the athlete, but at the end of last year, the new acquisition of the football player was the Mercedes G63 AMG SUV for 145 thousand euros.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2, Luis Nani


Love football stars to supercars is confirmed by the recent purchase of Luis Nani. Valencia midfielder paid more than € 160,000 for a rear wheel drive lamborghini modification LP560-4, released in a limited edition of 250 pieces. The sports coupe is equipped with a 5.2-liter aspirated V10 with 550 horsepower. The car is capable of gaining the first "hundred" in 3.9 seconds.

Bugatti Veyron, Ronaldinho


Ronaldinho, back in the days of Barcelona, \u200b\u200breceived about 20 million euros a year. This salary allowed the owner of the 2005 Ballon d'Or to opt for the Bugatti Veyron hypercar in black and orange. In addition to the Barcelona star, only 450 lucky people own a car of this brand worldwide. One of them is the legendary Brazilian defender Roberto Carlos, who was presented with a hypercar for 1.7 million euros during his performance for Makhachkala's Anji.

Usually, what is less common is more like art. And if a person can be called a car enthusiast, acquaintance with the rarest cars for him is a good reason to have fun, especially because real life it is extremely difficult to find any of the above ten cars: the rarest cars in the world are not at all adapted to Russian roads.

Packard panther

Love for cars is quite combined with an addiction to cats. The graceful design of the Panther is proof of this.

The fifties did not allow mass production of such a rare model. And even at that time, its price reached eight hundred thousand dollars. What is the cost of such a rarity today, we can only guess.

A characteristic feature of the Packard Panther is that its outline transforms into the silhouette of a wild cat when viewed from the front. The radiator grille creates this pattern paired with the bumper.

Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing

Between 1957 and 1963, this is the fertile period when the specified Mercedes model was produced. At the time, the Gullwing was one of the fastest cars in the world.

The three-liter engine gave rise to the number "300" in the name.

An ancient luxury coupe can only be afforded by the richest people in the world, because the price for a rare winged copy reaches one and a half million dollars.

Tucker 48

The forty-eighth year of the past century can boast of such a roomy handsome man, designed for a whole family. Today's auction price is about $ 1.2 million.

The model was developed by Preston Tucker, after whom she got her name. 40 years later, the movie "The Man and His Dream" was shot about him.

Tucker went broke, barely making 51 cars. This is a unique case when bankruptcy became the reason for the rare appearance of a car on the roads of the world.

1921 Helica De Leyat

Fewer still belong to a helicopter-like vehicle. Only three dozen pieces went on sale back in 1921.

The experimental design did not allow the French car to gain popularity among motorists. The wheels here can only be called as such. Rather, they are just steel rims with bicycle tires.

The idea of \u200b\u200bturning a car into an airplane flying along the road did not find much support from the people, but it went down in history. And it costs a lot.

Talbot Lago Grand Sport

This beauty was the dream of our grandfathers' overseas peers. There are only a dozen of these cars on the world market.

The required amount of dollars is two and a half million - and this rarity is yours!

Not only is this Talbot's elongated body characteristic, but also powerful engine... This old man can even participate in small races.

Porsche 916

Only 11 pieces of produced cars - and Porsche is one place ahead in our top. Only one of them travels across America, the rest of the dozen flaunts on the roads of Dubai.

Today, you have to pay for this chic three million dollars.

Accelerate stylish car capable of up to 230 km / h. In the early seventies, this was a pretty good indicator.

Rolls-Royce 15 HP

More than a century has passed since it was launched famous brand Hendry Royce and his companion Charles Rolls. The year of their collaboration was 1904. It was this model that marked the historical beginning of the legend.

Only 15 "horses" are hidden under the hood, which does not prevent the instance from costing about $ 35 million these days. We must not forget that such a carriage became a sensation in the days of coachmen and four-legged "engines".

Only six of these machines existed on the planet. Five of them are no longer on the run.

1954 Oldsmobile F-88

In the fifties, the record for rarity was broken. Only four vintage cars in the world bear the name Oldsmobile F-88.

The V-shaped eight-cylinder engine is capable of squeezing out 250 horsepower.

Three and a half million "green" - and a rarity is already in your garage! Unless, of course, you are one of the oligarchs.

Aston Martin Bulldog

But this "alien" arrived on Earth alone. More of the same you will not find anywhere else. And this is despite the fact that initially it was supposed to release at least 25 pieces.

With vertical wing doors, the car resembles the famous DeLorean, on which the heroes of the "Back to the Future" trilogy drove.

Experts estimate the car at about 1.3 million, but its owner is unlikely to part with the car for this amount.

Ferrari 250 GT Spyder

Also the only instance, while such a "spider" is characterized by a higher cost.

The cost of the car that has survived today is at least ten million dollars.

Bob Lee became the happy owner of the Italian record holder. This can be called luck, because it is in the hands of a collector, not a race car driver, that such a rarity should be.

Viewing such photos can be compared to going to an automobile museum. These cars are very interesting and valuable, but mainly as a historical heritage, and for every motorist his own "steel horse" is dearer, even if it does not really stand out on the roads. And if a car needs to be distinguished by something today, it will be increased comfort and endurance. This is what none of the described rarities can boast of.

In the modern age of money and complete immorality, when anything is sold and bought, it is quite difficult to imagine that there are any cars that you will not find, not only in the domestic open spaces, and even in the whole world they are practically not found.

It would seem that you just need to properly "mow" money and the most, that is, the world exclusive will become an adornment of your garage, and passers-by on the street will take pictures of you and tell friends what they met on the road! But no, it's not that simple. After all, these cars are very rare guests even in the “sale” section of various car sites.

The selection criteria for this list are quite simple: cars produced after the thirties of the twentieth century (because until that time every garage with a tool was considered almost a body shop making exclusives); they cannot be prototypes released in a single copy or models of manufacturers that have existed for less than two years. There is no winner on this list, all of its participants deserve first place, so they are arranged in alphabetical order.

AC 3000 ME

While AC became famous for its Cobra model and a rich racing career, the 3000 ME was its last brainchild, which was ruined by the economic state of the time. In total, about 80 copies were released in 5 years.

Bristol (any model)

This is not a very ordinary British manufacturer that has only one dealership and makes ultra-exclusive cars. The company does not disclose sales results, so the annual circulation ranges from ten to hundreds of cars. Prices for the models start at $ 250K and go up to $ 541K, not taking into account the special orders. So it's very rare to meet Bristol outside the UK.

Bugatti Type 41 Royale

Well, there's nothing to even think about here! Ettore Bugatti built a car for the wealthy, although they were also having financial difficulties in acquiring this exclusive. Production took place during the Great Depression, which also did not contribute to successful sales. In the period from 1926 to 1932, a total of 6 copies were built, two of which are in the French Automobile Museum. So the chances of seeing one on a Sunday walk are very slim!

Chrysler Turbine Car

In the 1960s, Chrysler plunged into the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a jet car. In 1963, the Italian automaker Ghia received an order to create 50 bodies, the design of which would best reflect the idea of \u200b\u200ba car with jet engine... Many of these unique creations were donated to potential buyers for testing. But still, it was decided that a car that ran on any combustible fuel and spun up to 45,000 rpm and was used for daily trips around the city was too much.

41 were destroyed to avoid import duties from Italy. Of the remaining nine, not all were even in working order, because Chrysler removed the dangerous engine before sending the cars to museums and private collections. There were also clients with the "right" connections, such as Bob Lutz, the former Chrysler CEO, who could easily get himself the engine he needed to go for a ride in a jet car.

Citroen GS Birotor

Citroen and NSU join forces to advance technology rotary engine Wankel in the late 60s of the last century. In 1974, Citroen introduced the small GS model with a rotary power plant... But frequent problems from power unit led to the curtailment of production. While NSU was promoting its models with this engine, the French quickly realized their mistake and stopped the GS Birotor. A total of 847 copies were produced, most of which were bought back by the manufacturer.

Leyland force 7

There was once a car like the Leyland P76. This sedan was sold exclusively in the Australian and New Zealand markets for three years. Is this still not enough to consider it exclusive? Then what about an even rarer version of the coupe called the Force 7? Due to the very meager sales of the sedan, the project was decided to close. At that time, 58 coupes were produced, which did not even have time to get into car dealerships and there was an order to destroy them. Only 10 copies managed to escape "death" and all of them are now on the Green Continent or in neighboring New Zealand (they say that one was brought to the UK, but soon it was returned back). So for local residents this car is a true exclusive, let alone the rest of the world!

Mohs SafariKar

Bruce Mohs, the founder of the company, had a good track record of building seaplanes in Wisconsin, but his most interesting creations were automobiles. One of his sportier models was the SafariKar. She had an outstanding design and several interesting "chips" - a folding hard top, eight seats and longitudinally opening doors. The body was made of aluminum. The company had several other interesting models, but there is no evidence that they were not released in a single copy, which contradicts the rules of this list.

Morgan plus four plus

Morgan is known for its conservatism and dislike of technological progress. But one day in 1963 she broke her own traditions. Instead of using the well-known wood body technology, a fiberglass material was used on the Morgan Plus Four chassis. The car cost twice as much as the Jaguar XKE, and in those days the company did not yet have such an iconic status as it does today. For five years of production, only 26 copies were produced.

Rover SD1 Estate

This car is a representative of that period of European automotive culture, when the leadership of car companies moved on models that were recently prototypes. This idea did not get much development, but it seems that only in the UK could you see a test car on a morning drive to work.

Basically, the SD1 Estate was a prototype, but there were two examples that were used for daily commuting, so this car fits into the rules of this list. Both are now in the British automobile museums.

Tucker 48 (Torpedo)

Tucker 48 is the embodiment of the idea of \u200b\u200bthe American dream, when a simple Yankee decided to compete with the auto giants for a "place in the sun" on their own. It was an unequal fight that ended with 51 copies being produced and the closure of Preston Tucker. Until today, 47 vehicles have survived and are now in automobile museums in many states. So it is not difficult to see him in a museum, but on the road it is much more difficult.

Of course, left behind great amount rare and interesting cars, so we are waiting for the readers' version in the comments!

The concept of a rarity when it comes to cars is rather vague, and many cars can be fitted to this criterion. But we will still try to compile our list of rare cars in the world that, in our opinion, are worthy of this title.

Such machines can be conditionally divided into two categories:

  • retro cars. It can be both serial and piece editions, but only a few managed to survive to this day, which are mainly in museums or in private collections;
  • exclusive cars. In his desire to stand out, a person strives to have something that does not exist and that others will never have. And when this desire is backed up by money, prestigious models and made-to-order brands are born in a single or in several copies.

The last of six cars produced in 1905 by brothers Charles and Henry Royce, with three-cylinder engines. In 2007 it was sold for 3.5 million Irish pounds.

The first sports car of the company, which began to be produced after it was headed by David Brown (letters DB in the name). A total of 15 (according to some sources 16) units were produced. A 2-liter 90 horsepower engine could accelerate the car to a speed of 150 km / h. The cost of this rare car is about $ 800,000.

1937 Bugatti 57S

According to experts, this model is the best road version of Bugatti. In 2009, at an auction in Paris, one of the 17 released cars was exhibited at a price of £ 6,000,000. Quite powerful at the time, it was equipped with an inline 3.3 liter engine and customizable under road conditions hydraulic shock absorbers.

1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa

This is the next rare car we'll cover in this article. Racing legend 1958-1961 with 10 first places in 19 races. As if foreseeing the future, manufacturers equipped the car with a 3-liter engine, thanks to which it could participate in races, after the ban in 58 on participation in racing of cars with a larger volume.

A total of 19 such machines were assembled in 2 years. In a number of sources, the price for this model is indicated in the region of $ 16 million.

Marcel Leigh invented this transport in 1913. Him distinctive feature was a propeller mounted in the bow, as well as an unusual body shape. Over the years of modernizations and improvements (the first model had absolutely no protection on the propeller, and looked like a huge meat grinder), the inventor produced about 30 cars, each new one was not like the previous one. Two copies have survived to this day. One is in the Parisian Museum of Technology, the other belongs to a private person, and is still on the move.

Limited edition Swedish supercar with 662 horsepower. This rare car more than $ 500,000. The company produces only 7 such cars per year.

Josep Rubau, employee volkswagen, set a goal to change the current situation on the market. The crux of the problem was that numerous collectors complained about a lack of individuality and style in modern cars... In 2004, he founded the tramontana company, and a year later, in 2005 in Geneva, he presented his first car. Original view, power of 700 horses, speed of 260 km / h, price of 610 thousand euros, by paying which the owner will receive a leather and wood interior, as well as a body finish in white gold. All this makes the car exclusive, which means it is rare and desirable for many.

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

Not such a rare car, if you compare it with those described above, but still belonging to the class of those that you do not meet often and not everywhere. Limited edition (30 pieces), this is the most that neither is racing car... Judge for yourself: the speed that Bugatti can reach is 435 km / h, while it will accelerate to a hundred in just 2-3 seconds. The price for such an exclusive is appropriate and starts at $ 2 million.

Porsche Schuppan 962CR

Another one of the rarest cars in the world can be called a sports car assembled in 1994 by Formula 1 racer Vern Schuppan. Speed \u200b\u200b345 km / h, power 600 horses, then it was the most powerful racing monsters ever released. The series was limited to five copies.

We have considered only a small part of those cars that can rightfully be called the rarest cars in the world. In fact, the list is huge, and there is simply no way to list everything. Some cars are becoming rare due to the fact that they were produced for a long time, and only a few have been able to survive to this day. Others were specially produced in limited editions to significantly increase the cost per model. After all, the determining factor for collectors is precisely how rare a particular car is.

There are many rare things in the world, but for the real car enthusiast, nothing beats a collection of rare cars. Here is a list of the ten rarest cars in the world. It should be noted that among the listed models, there were practically no two absolutely identical, since they received the final finishing and configuration in accordance with the requirements of the future owners.

The Packard Panther is a concept roadster, one of the world's first fiberglass vehicles.

The Aston Martin Bulldog is a sports car prototype developed by the British company Aston Martin in 1979.

Mercedes-Benz 300 SL - first sport car Mercedes-Benz brand produced between 1955–1963. At one time it was the fastest production car in the world. A total of 3,258 units were produced.

Leyat Helica D21 is also known as the "plane without wings" - a French car developed by Leyat in 1921. It was conceived as a cross between a car and an airplane, which would simplify the design, because there was no need for a transmission, cardan shafts, clutch or other complex mechanisms required for a car of that time.
