Most of us drive regular, old cars. Hatchbacks, pickups, compact SUVs andcrossovers— the usual stuff we see on the streets every day. Maybe some of us drive sports cars, which are built for pure fun, like a Mazda Miata, Ford Mustang or even a Porsche 911. A few of us occasionally drive supercars, which are expensive, exclusive and exotic, like a Lamborghini Aventador or McLaren 720S.
But there is a category of car that outdoes even supercars. We call them hypercars: They're themost expensive, most powerful and rarest of cars. How rare? Well,Ford sold 2.1 million carsin 2020, which was not a brisk year for car sales. As of 2020,Teslahad the capability to produce about1 million carsper year.
Hypercar companyPagani, on the other hand, produces only 100 of each model. Ever. Total. When those 100 are sold, that model is done. Similarly, theHennessey Venom F5is limited to 24 units.
新车价格上涨the board, with anaverage in 2020 of $40,000.Sports cars can easily brush six figures, and supercars start well above the $100,000 mark. But even the least expensive hypercars can set a buyer back at least $1 million or more; theBugatti Chironcosts a cool $3 million or so.
We've made a list for anyone who would like to spend some time daydreaming aboutridiculous amounts of powerin cars that cost more than your house and that you'll likelynever see on the street— some aren't even street legal.
Some of these beauties are hybrids or purely electric, and some are slated to be delivered in 2021. But if you haven't put down your deposit already, we hate to break it to you: Chances are slim to none that you'll be able to wander onto the car lot and drive off with one these 13 cars.
