In 2022, the most expensive new car ever registered in the Netherlands. In June, Dutch roads became richer for a blue Chiron worth over four million. With fresh eyes, MASTERS looks to the new year; what are the world's most expensive cars of 2023?
This car once carried the title of the most expensive in the world, but was defeated by another model of the same brand. This model was made on request and captured the hearts of many car enthusiasts. The request was to make a car of which there was no second. The Sweptail was made from a single sheet of aluminum and was inspired by a luxury yacht. Despite its state-of-the-art gadgets-such as a champagne cooler-the model still has a touch of 1920s glamour.
For this price, you do get a lot of horsepower; in fact, this model has more than 3,000... In addition, this de Chaos is made of precious materials such as titanium, carbon and the strongest fiber in existence, namely Zylon. The Greek designer could not find the car of his dreams, so he said he built it himself. About 15 to 20 models are produced per year.
This special version was unveiled in honor of founder Haracio Pagani's 60th birthday. He thought the model resembled a boat, hence the name Barchetta, which means "little boat" in Italian. The car's frame is made entirely of carbon, making it ultra-light. The car can reach a top speed of 355 kilometers per hour and sits at 100 in 3.4 seconds... Only 3 versions of this unique version of the Zonda were made. At the last sale, the new owner had to pay € 16.8 million for the bolide.

Literally translated: the black car. This model is a modern interpretation of the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, of which the brand built only four in 1936 and 1938. According to CEO Stephan Winkelmann, the car is not a high-speed track monster, but a coupe with the comfort of a limousine. Still, the W16 8.10 liter engine with 1,500 horsepower ensures that this Bugatti reaches 100 kilometers per hour in 2.4 seconds... From the black car only one version was made. Who drives the car is not known, although the car has been spotted several times in Switzerland.
This model is the successor to the previously mentioned 2017 Sweptail. A total of three versions of the Boat Tail will come out, two of which have been revealed so far. In the picturesque setting of Lake Como, this new Rolls-Royce Boat Tail made its world debut last year. The car was built entirely by hand, with the body panels made from huge, single aluminum sheets to create the distinctive outline inspired by yachts of the early 20th century. The unique rear deck is also reminiscent of the world of yachts and is made of what is known as Royal Walnut veneer. A unique feature of this material is that the wood matures over time and over the years takes on a cognac color identical to the color of the hood. In the rear there are two fold-out panels including a luxury picnic set, a parasol, chairs, dishes and a champagne cooler. The exact price of this version is not known, but is estimated at €28 million.
