To date, only 47 units of the Tucker 48 series remain. Almost all of them are in museums.

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.

8. 2012 London Olympics Mini Cooper

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 engine with 90 horsepower, 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 cars released was exhibited at a price of 6,000,000 pounds sterling. 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 years on participation in racing of cars with a larger volume.

A total of 19 of these 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 installed 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 is estimated at 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.

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 the sales results, so the annual circulation is 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 think about here! Ettore Bugatti built a car for the wealthy, even though 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, only 6 copies were built, two of which are in the French Automobile Museum. So the chances of meeting one on a Sunday walk are very slim!

Chrysler Turbine Car

In the 1960s, Chrysler plunged into the idea of \u200b\u200ba 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 nevertheless, 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 a 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. In total, 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 avoid "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 management 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. To this day, 47 cars 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!
