Outrageously Expensive Cars That Will Make Your Jaw Drop

 1998 McLaren F1 – $13,750,000

The McLaren F1 is a car that needs no introduction, yet its significance to the history of the automobile in general warrants a brief overview.

It was built and designed on a blank sheet of paper by a team led by Gordon Murray and Ron Dennis, who were looking to make zero compromises in the pursuit of automotive perfection. In doing so, they managed to write themselves into the annals of motoring history. On March 31, 1998, a McLaren F1 (chassis XP5) achieved a top speed of 240.14 mph

1962 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato – $14,300,000

The DB4 was produced by Aston Martin between 1958 and 1963. The DB4GT came out in late 1959. It was a lightweight, high-performance version of the standard 2+2 road car.
