Most Expensive Cars In The World: Top 10 List 2010-2011

Bugatti Veyron: Most Expensive Car in The WorldWorld's Most Expensive Cars
What is the most expensive car in the world? The 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe was sold for $8,700,000 in 1987. However, that car and many alike will not be included in this list because it is not available on the market today. It is hard to imagine someone would actually spend 8 million dollars on a car instead of using it for something more productive. However, if you have the money and the opportunity, you will definitely spend a small fraction of it to place a few of these supercars in your garage. Here are the 10 most expensive production cars on the market.
1. Bugatti Veyron $1,700,000. This is by far the most expensive street legal car available on the market today. It is the fastest accelerating car reaching 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. It claims to be the fastest car with a top speed of 253 mph+. However, the title for the fastest car goes to the SSC Ultimate Aero which exceed 253 mph pushing this car to 2nd place for the fastest car.
2. Lamborghini Reventon $1,600,000. The most powerful and the most expensive Lamborghini ever built is the second on the list. It takes 3.3 seconds to reach 60 mph and it has a top speed of 211 mph. Its rarity (limited to 20) and slick design are the reasons why it is so expensive and costly to own.

3. McLaren F1 $970,000. In 1994, the McLaren F1 was the fastest and most expensive car. Even though it was built 15 years ago, it has an unbelievable  top speed of 240 mph and reaching 60 mph in 3.2 seconds.

Don't let the price tag fool you, the 6th most expensive car is actually the fastest street legal car in the world with a top speed of 257 mph+ and reaching 0-60 in 2.7 seconds.

SSC Ultimate Aero 3rd most expensive car in the world

Toyota recalls 373,000 2000-2004 Avalons

Toyota Announces Intent to Voluntarily Recall Certain Toyota Avalons to Replace Steering Column Bracket
TORRANCE, Calif., July 29, 2010 — Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today announced that it intends to conduct a voluntary safety recall involving approximately 373,000 2000-2004 Model Year Toyota Avalons sold in the United States to address the possibility that the vehicle’s steering lock bar could break under certain conditions. No other Toyota or Lexus vehicles are involved in this recall.
This action follows an announcement made by Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan on July 29, 2010.
Because of improper casting of the steering lock bar, which is a component of the steering interlock system, there is a possibility that a minute crack may develop on the surface. Such a crack may expand over a long period of repeated lock and unlock operations, and eventually the lock bar could break. If this occurs, the interlock system may become difficult to unlock when stationary.
If the vehicle while being driven is steered to the right with sufficient lateral acceleration, a broken and loose lock bar may move toward the steering shaft. If the engagement hole in the shaft happens to line up at the specific time the broken lock bar has moved, this could cause the steering wheel lock bar to engage, locking the steering wheel, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Steve St. Angelo, Toyota chief quality officer for North America, said, “Toyota is continuing to work diligently to address safety issues wherever they arise and to strengthen our global quality assurance operations so that Toyota owners can be confident in the safety of their vehicles.”
As part of the recall, Toyota will replace the steering column bracket on involved vehicles, a procedure that takes about two hours to complete depending on the dealer’s schedule. Toyota will notify owners by first class mail beginning in late August 2010 to bring their vehicles to their local Toyota dealer for replacement of the steering column bracket at no charge to the customer.

Delayed start to season helped McLaren, Formula 1

McLaren driver Jenson Button said the delayed start to the Formula 1 season gave his team the chance to improve the car after an erratic pre-season.
Team-mate Lewis Hamilton finished second in the opening race at Melbourne, with Button down in sixth after a drive-through penalty.
'Over two weeks ago we thought we were on the pace of the Force India cars in testing," he told the Daily Mail.
'But we qualified two seconds quicker than them. We've picked up so much."
The 2011 season was supposed to start in Bahrain on 13 March, but the political situation in the country saw the race postponed.
The season eventually moved under way on 27 March, and the delay gave McLaren time to make improvements to their set-up.
'Looking at the performance of the car now and seeing where we have come from, it's massively impressive. I've never seen anything like it," added Benson.
'You can see in the team everyone is now really positive, and there is a good atmosphere because we know this is only the beginning for us.
'With this new exhaust system, it's the starting point, and whereas everyone else has had all winter to play around with theirs, we can make some improvements."

2010 Maybach 62 and 62 S

Luxury, style, and performance come together in Maybach cars, but with the 2010 Maybach 62 and 62 S, Maybach apparently will go a level higher to introduce to  the world a set of cars that are comfortable, durable, and at the same time, stunning.
The 2010 Maybach 62  and 62 S are characterized by 20 longitudinal bars and double louvers. The radiator grills that are shaped like an arrow give the units a dimension that harps on an appearance that is daring, domineering, and simply captivating. The bumper’s horizontal trim makes the saloons look broader, and the daytime LED headlights are highlighted by a chrome border. If the front is not astounding enough, the elegant exterior mirrors are not there for no reason. The new mirrors blend well with the car’s ‘face’, and since they are considerably broader as well, they are a means for better peripheral driving vision.
Luxury means luxury for the Maybachs, and the wheels should also spell thus. The Maybach 62 cars get on the move with shiny 21-spoke wheels that measure 19 inches, and are fashioned out of titanium silver. Meanwhile, 62 S units sport 20-inch wheels that are of noble sterling silver. All models are finished with the Bahamas Blue exterior paint.
