Imagine if you won the lottery or landed a huge inheritance. Suddenly, the world's most exclusive cars from the likes of Rolls-Royce, Bugatti and Ferrari would be yours for the taking. Boasting exceptional craftsmanship, blistering speeds and peak luxury, they truly are the crème de la crème. But which would you choose?

To help you curate your fantasy garage, we've rounded up 20 of the priciest new motors you can purchase today or go on a waiting list for, leaving out discontinued limited editions and other sold-out rarities. From sumptuous traditional sedans to cutting-edge electric hypercars, read on for the most extravagant models out there, ranked by price.

All dollar amounts in US dollars.

Currently the most expensive new Mercedes, the Maybach S680 is the apex of quiet luxury. Crowning the carmaker's ultra-premium Maybach S-Class range, the discreetly opulent sedan seriously impresses: think a powerful yet serene 612 horsepower (HP) V12 petrol engine and plush cabin that keeps the flashiness to a minimum without compromising on fancy features.

The base price of $240,500 (£178k) is undoubtedly steep. But it pales in significance compared to the most expensive Mercedes ever produced, the one-off concept Maybach Exelero. It sold for $5 million back in 2005, equivalent to $8.2 million (£6.1m) today.

Hyper-luxury EVs have arrived, with US upstart Karma, formerly Fisker, leading the way. Its all-electric Kaveya model blends leading-edge design with next-gen performance. An absolute knockout, it cuts a stylish figure with sleek bodywork, hidden headlamps and dramatic butterfly doors. Delivering a meaty 1,180 HP, the EV can rocket from zero to 60 miles per hour (97km/h) in under three seconds. It also offers a 250-mile (402km) range, thanks to an incredibly potent 120 kWh battery, which is T-shaped to free up interior space.

At a starting price of around $300,000 (£223k), the Kaveya is available for pre-order now, with deliveries set to begin in late 2025.

Cadillac is taking on venerable luxury carmakers like Rolls-Royce and Ferrari with the Celestiq, its flagship electric sedan. Wowing with 655 HP and a 303-mile (488km) range, not to mention standouts like a smart glass panoramic roof, the low-slung wonder is fully customisable through a concierge-led process, pretty much making each one unique. In fact, there are over 350,000 possible combinations on offer, with luxurious options including leather flooring.

Meticulously crafted by hand, Cadillac makes only two Celestiqs a day. Prices start at about $340,000 (£253k) but can go as high as $700,000 (£520k) depending on the options and level of personalisation.

The Continental GTC Mulliner is Bentley's priciest and most prestigious vehicle in production right now. Like other top-end cars, its base price of $365,000 (£271k) is merely a starting point for a multitude of personalisation options.

Powered by a formidable V8 petrol engine, the Mulliner is all about an effortlessly refined driving experience. Its elegant exterior design features exclusive Mulliner detailing and signature brightwork. Inside, the cabin is as plush as they come, with buttery-soft leather, innovative seating and heated amenities like armrests and neck warmers.

Fittingly named after the largest rough-cut diamond ever discovered, the dazzling Rolls-Royce Cullinan is the world's most expensive mass-produced SUV. The latest version is available in two variants: Series II and Black Badge Series II. The latter is the costliest of the duo with a base price of $475,000 (£350k).

Retaining the original's signature sumptuousness, the Series II has been described as the most comfortable SUV on the market. It keeps the powerful 563 HP V12 engine, but boasts upgraded tech and sleek design tweaks, including a striking new illuminated grille.

The priciest new Ferrari on offer right now, the 12Cilindri Spider starts from $510,000 (£380k). A homage to the grand tourers of the 1950s and 1960s, this svelte two-seater convertible combines retro styling with a powerful V12 petrol engine delivering 819 HP.

It's not the most expensive Ferrari in production though. That distinction belongs to the F80, the Italian marque's $3.1 million (£2.3m) flagship performance model. Unveiled last year, all 799 units of this limited-production gem have already sold out.

The large sedan version of Rolls-Royce's flagship car is unsurprisingly the brand's priciest model bar one-offs and special editions. Instantly recognisable by its iconic Pantheon grille and majestic silhouette, the Phantom is a modern icon.

Travelling in this beauty is pure bliss. Its interior is a palatial sanctuary adorned with lambswool carpeting, hand-polished wood, highest-grade leather and crystalline details. The experience is further elevated by its quiet 563 HP V12 petrol engine and Rolls-Royce’s hallmark 'Magic Carpet Ride' technology, ensuring the smoothest and most tranquil journey imaginable.

The stunning successor to the revered Aventador, the Revuelto is Lamborghini's first V12 plug-in hybrid supercar. Priced from around $608,000 (£453k), this two-seater monster is Lamborghini's most powerful creation yet.

The car serves up a combined 1,001 HP from its V12 engine and three electric motors, allowing it to zip from zero to 60 miles per hour (97km/h) in under 2.5 seconds. Its statement-making exterior design features signature scissor doors. Meanwhile, the cabin is meticulously crafted with premium Alcantara, carbon fibre and full-grain leather, and offers a high-tech, driver-focused environment.

We're now in million-dollar territory with the Aston Martin Valhalla, the British marque's highest-priced model currently in production. This hybrid supercar, born from F1 expertise, has been described as a "race car for the road".

Limited to 999 units, the two-seater coupe packs 1,064 HP from its V8 hybrid system, accelerating from zero to 60 miles per hour (97km/h) in 2.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of 217 miles per hour (350km/h). Beautiful and technically advanced, the car's exotic design features dihedral doors, active aerodynamics and an F1-inspired carbon fibre cabin.

Starting at $1.9 million (£1.4m) and reaching up to $3.8 million (£2.8m) with customisation, the Karlmann King is the world's most expensive SUV. Manufactured in Italy and the US, the ultra-low production vehicle has an unconventional angular design inspired by stealth aircraft, giving it a commanding road presence.

Powered by a 398 HP V10 petrol engine, the SUV's top speed is limited to just 87 miles per hour (140km/h) since it weighs over six tonnes. This is a veritable tank, and buyers can even opt for full bulletproofing. Interior-wise, the car certainly doesn't scrimp on amenities, with everything from a games console and 4K TV to a fridge and coffee machine.

The most powerful spec in our round-up, the all-electric Deus Vayanne is slated to pump out a staggering 2,200 HP and go from zero to 60 miles per hour (97km/h) in under two seconds. It has a top speed of 248 miles per hour (399km/h) and a range of 310 miles (500km).

A collaboration between Austria's Deus, elite Turin-based design firm Italdesign and F1 team spinoff Williams Advanced Engineering, the hypercar features a streamlined exterior design and eye-popping features, including state-of-the-art Halo infinity mirror lighting. Each order is fully customisable, so no two are alike. Deliveries of the vehicle, which is limited to 99 units, are due to start this year.

The 2026 W1 is McLaren's hotly anticipated next-gen hybrid hypercar, and its most powerful road-legal creation to date. Delivering 1,258 HP from a V8 hybrid system, it hits 60 miles per hour (97km/h) in 2.7 seconds and attains a top speed of 217 miles per hour (350km/h).

Expertly engineered from carbon fibre with active aerodynamics, the vehicle's driver-focused cockpit features fixed carbon seats and customisable materials such as InnoKnit. With only 399 units planned for now, all have already been allocated, but prospective owners can still join McLaren's waiting list.

Resurrecting a historic French marque, the Delage D12 is a hybrid hypercar with a starting price of $2.3 million (£1.7m). It has a V12 petrol engine combined with electric motors, delivering 1,100 HP. This allows for a top speed of 225 miles per hour (362km/h).

The D12's USP is its fighter jet-style canopy that lifts to allow entry and exit for the driver and passenger. It's quite the feature and makes even butterfly doors seem mundane. Limited to just 30 units globally, the car is currently in production, with initial deliveries already underway.

The road-legal, racetrack-friendly Nevera R is the latest all-electric wonder from Rimac, the Croatian carmaker that has a majority stake in Bugatti. Its previous models smashed performance records, and the Nevera holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest speed while driving in reverse, at 171 miles per hour (276km/h).

The hypercar knocks it out of the park with 2,107 HP. It goes from zero to 60 miles per hour (97km/h) in 1.7 seconds and can achieve a top – forward – speed of 256 miles per hour (412km/h). All in all, 150 units of the Nevera are planned, with the new R variant making up 40 of the total.

Like Delage, Hispano Suiza is a heritage brand that has been revived. The Carmen was launched to acclaim in 2019, with the Sagrera its latest variant.

The only Spanish hypercar in production, the all-electric two-seater draws power from four electric motors delivering 1,100 HP. It has a top speed of 186 miles per hour (300km/h) and offers a range of up to 300 miles (483km). Handcrafted in Barcelona, the Sagrera features extensive carbon fibre construction and a highly customisable interior, requiring an eight-month production process per vehicle.

Another record-breaking hypercar, the Hennessey Venom F5 holds the world record for the fastest half-mile at just under 222 miles per hour (357km/h). Built for extreme speed, the American marvel stuns with the most powerful internal combustion car engine ever, a twin-turbo V8 delivering 1,298 HP. The exterior design nods to classic European sports cars, while the interior evokes an aircraft cockpit.

Coming in several configurations and variants, the coupe version, limited to just 24 units, has sold out. The roadster and Revolution variant roadster (pictured), limited to 12 units apiece, are still available to order.

A breathtaking fusion of artistry and innovation, the Pagani Utopia Roadster is the latest hypercar from this ultra-exclusive marque. Founded in 1992 by Horacio Pagani, a former Lamborghini composites expert, the company excels at creating lightweight masterpieces.

Limited to 130 extensively customisable units, the two-seater is as futuristic as they come, debuting breakthroughs like the Pirelli Cyber Tyre sensor system, which allows the tyres to 'talk' to the car for optimised safety. Yet the hypercar's souped-up 864 HP V12 engine is wonderfully old school, ditto its cabin, which embraces traditional analogue instrumentation and exquisite natural materials.

Revered for its legendary – and eye-wateringly expensive – hypercars, Bugatti needs no introduction. The successor to the Chiron, the hybrid Tourbillon is the latest showstopper from the French marque.

At its beating heart is a new V16 engine paired with an electric powertrain that pumps out 1,800 HP. Like the Pagani Utopia, the Tourbillon masterfully blends innovation with tradition. Its exterior showcases trailblazing sculpted bodywork and dihedral doors, while the cabin is analogue heaven. It's a classic creation resplendent with the world's finest materials, from crystal glass and polished metals to richly finished leather. The Tourbillon is limited to 250 units that can be personalised down to the tiniest detail, with the first deliveries scheduled for next year.

The world's most expensive and exclusive all-electric car currently in production, the Pininfarina B95 is a pioneering Italian barchetta. Only 10 units of this extraordinary speedster will be built, each one tailored to the buyer's exacting specifications.

With a monumental output of 1,877 HP, the B95 delivers thrilling performance, hitting 60 miles per hour (97km/h) in under two seconds and boasting a top speed of over 186 miles per hour (300km/h). Its daring design is notable for the striking absence of a traditional windscreen, which is replaced by adjustable aero screens. Deliveries commence this year.

If you really did score a windfall and wanted to snap up the most expensive production car, the Red Bull RB17 would be calling your name. The first vehicle Red Bull has made available to the public, this is F1 design luminary Adrian Newey's 'utopia' car. Powering the machine is a screaming V10 petrol engine generating 1,200 HP, complemented by extreme aerodynamics. Only 50 units will be made, with deliveries kicking off this year.

Best of all, each lucky owner will get to pilot their RB17 at Red Bull events on some of the world's most emblematic circuits. While it's a dedicated track car, the RB17 can be made road-legal for an additional $680,000 (£500k).

For those really looking to splurge, Rolls-Royce offers a full bespoke service, creating magnificent one-of-a-kinds, with the sky the limit in terms of cost. Billed as the automotive equivalent of haute couture, the Rolls-Royce Coachbuilt programme is behind the most expensive new car of all time.

Created in 2023 in close partnership with one clearly super-wealthy private client, the La Rose Noire Droptail was priced at a dizzying $34 million (£25m). And there's every chance your fantasy commission would even top that.
