Just like every other product, cars have an incredibly large spectrum of quality. With that spectrum comes adjusted prices. The average family car is usually around $20,000-30,000, which is just fine for an everyday driver. These cars, however, are not the vehicles that enthusiasts are interested in. At the top of the auto world, companies like Lamborghini, Bugatti, McLaren and Ferrari are constantly working on producing cars that are faster, lighter, and years ahead of their time, in terms of styling and design. The cars that actually achieve this come at extreme price tags that most people wouldn't even see in their entire lifetimes. We're talking that millionaire money. Take a look at the most expensive production cars (not the most valuable or most expensive resales) with A Complete History of Cars That Cost At Least $1,000,000.

Rimac Concept_One
Original Price: $980,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it technically doesn't have seven figures, but don't kid yourself. This isn't going to cost less than a milli to own. The Concept_One is one of our favorite vehicles on the list and easily one of the most impressive. It's got an exterior designed by Pininfarina, an interior shaped by Vilner. Four individual-wheel 92kW motors running the power, creating 1,088-horsepower and 0-62 time of 2.8 seconds. Best of all, one charge equals 372 miles. Yeah, science!
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirlin Moss
Original Price: $1,000,000
Even though this car has recently been tainted by Rihanna and Chris Brown, it's still one of the most impressive vehicles ever built. This topless and windshieldless beauty was a going away party for the SLR line, and was, of course, named after former Mercedes-Benz driver Sir Stirling Moss. It's got a 5.4L supercharged V8 that'll pump 641 horses and get you to 62 in less than 3.5 seconds. More incredible than the numbers is the sleek, elongated shape that almost reminds us of a revolver.
Hennessey Venom
Original Price: $1,000,000
We've got a slight crush on Hennessey, especially after the blistering Cadillac CTS-V that they released this past year. The pride and joy of the company, however, is the Lotus-based Venom and Venom GT Spyder, which just hits the mill mark. The Spyder, which costs about $150,000 more, has the same engine as the coupe, a Chevy-sourced that produces 1,155 lb-ft of torque. That's good for a 2.5-second 0-60 time. It's also good for a top speed of 275 mph. Also, note that Steven Tyler has one of these puppies.
The McLaren P1
Original Price: $1,150,000
Though it was originally thought to be priced higher, the F1 successor settles in at a little more than one million. As part of the supercar trifecta that debuted at Geneva this past year, it's easily one of the most important cars of this decade. Only 375 of these will be made. A hybrid motor works with a 3.8L twin-turbo V8, making 903 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. Considering the Veneno was basically just a dream car, it'll likely be competing more directly with the LaFerrari, which has a similar production run and also runs on a hybrid powertrain.
SSC Tuatara
Original Price: $1,300,000
On plain fuel, the Tuatara recently dynoed at 1,350 horsepower. With race fuel it juiced 1,700 horses! SEVENTEEN HUNDRED! That means a top speed of 275 mph, making it the fastest production car on the planet. Bugatti knows about this, too, so get ready for a gritty speed battle in the future.
Koenigsegg CCXR
Original Price: $1,300,000
A 4.8L twin-supercharged flexfuel engine gets the CCXR up to speed, making it the first supercar with the ability to run on biofuel. Even so, the V8 boasts 1018bhp, good for 0-62 in less than three seconds. It runs on a carbon fiber and honeycomb aluminum chassis and front and rear double wishbone suspension.
Pagani Huayra
Original Price: $1,300,000
Pagani dubbed it's impossible-to-pronounce supercar the "God of Wind," and after seeing it go around the Top Gear track, it's no secret that this is an aerodynamic masterpiece. It's got a twin-turbo Mercedes-AMG V12 engine coupled with a seven-speed sequential gearbox and weighs just 3,000 lbs.
Maybach Landaulet
Original Price: $1,380,000
Unfortunately, Birdman is the first image that pops up into our heads, when we discuss the Landaulet. He's one of few people who have actually been spotted driving around in one of these open-topped Maybachs. Private to the driver, public to everybody else.
Pagani Zonda R
Original Price: $1,400,000
Oh, Pagani, how we love thee. You've produced some of the most insanely ludicrous vehicles of all time with the Zonda line, culminating to the R, a pure racing machine. The 729 horsepower might seem mediocre or on par with the rest of these cars, but its weight is what separates this from any other. 2,360 pounds. That's it. 2,360 pounds with a 6.0L V12 engine. Its 0-60 is three seconds, and its top is 233. Only 15 were built.
Jaguar C-X75
Original Price: $1,400,000
The C-X75 is touted on Jaguar's website as a "brand statement," and, due to restrictions and the improbability of profit, that's all it turned out to be. Only a couple of these were made, after the production plans were nixed. This beautiful KERS hybrid supercar got to 100 mph in less than six seconds, and could even run on pure electric for about 30 miles. Jay Leno, naturally, is one of the only people in the world with one of these bad boys.
Aston Martin One-77
Original Price: $1,400,000
Currently one of the most exclusive vehicles in the world, the One-77 just recently joined the prestigious Dubai police fleet. The cops hold one of only 77 models in existence, and will be running around on a 7.3L V12 that makes 750 horsepower, good for a 0-63 time of 3.7 seconds
Koenigsegg Agera R
Original Price: $1,700,000
The photos of the Agera R look insane, but seeing it in person is an experience. Must like the Paganis, the Agera R is far more than a supercar, it's a toy car brought into existence that, in reality, nobody would ever expect to see actually produced. Things like Aircore hollow carbon fiber wheels, a 273mph top speed, a 200-0 stop time of 7.28 seconds, and triplex rear suspension make it easy to understand why the price on this is so high.
The Ferrari LaFerrari
Original Price: Estimated $1,300,000
After all the wait and massive hype, this car came out beautifully. It's got a lot of Enzo influence, it's got some California hints in there, and certainly some 458 features. But it looks like none of those. The car runs on an 800hp, mid-mounted, direct injection, 6.3L V12 engine that's supplemented by a 163hp electric motor. The 963hp HY-KERS system delivers a 0-62 time in less than 3.0 seconds and a 0-124 time in less than 7.0 seconds. This is all coupled with an F1 dual-clutch gearbox and an all-carbon fiber monocoque. Out of the three supercar reveals in Geneva, the others being the McLaren P1 and the Lamborghini Veneno, the LaFerrari would actually be considered the "least" rare with 499 being produced. It doesn't really matter, though, because, like the others, all of them have been sold already.
Zenvo ST1
Original Price: $1,800,000
The Zenvo is probably one of the least-known vehicles on the list, but it competes just as well as any other car on here. It's got a 1,104hp V8 engine and weighs only 3,500 lbs. That's good for a three-second 0-62 time. If you want, the Danish company will even bump this up to 1,500 horses. So ... pick your poison.
Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
Original Price: $2,200,000
We were fortunate enough to see this car in person, when it was showing off at Pebble Beach last year, and wow, what an incredible piece of machinery. Thanks to an entire body made of carbon fiber, it looks as though you could just pick the entire car up with one hand. With a 1.75 kilograms per hp ratio, this thing kicks to 60 in just 2.5 seconds. Lamborghini announced a limited run would be built this year, and all 20 have already been sold. We're kind of surprised it's not actaully more expensive with those number.
The Bugatti Veyron
Original Price: $1,000,000 - $2,400,000
Everybody knows a Bugatti. The Veyron completely changed the course of automobiles, when the 16.4 was launched back in 2005, creating a road car that cut through the air like nothing before. Since then tens of variations have been created, including the Grand Sport, the Grand Sport Vitesse, and the most recent SuperSports, which hit the $2.4 million mark. Officially the fastest production convertible, the Vitesse recently hit 254.04 mph, thanks to a 8.0-liter W16 engine that blows out 1,200 bhp and 1,106 lb.-ft. of torque.
Lykan Hypersport
Original Price: $3,400,000
There is one part of this car that epitomizes its entire creation: diamond-coated LED lights that are worth $200,000. That's really all you need to know, but we guess we'll give you the specs, too. A mid-rear, twin-turbocharged flat-six engine produces 740 horsepower and 737 lb/ft of torque
The Lamborghini Veneno
Original Price: $3,900,000
Automobili Lamborghini officially holds the title of the greatest 50th anniversary celebration of all time. In one of the rarest releases in recent memory, only three of these vehicles were produced, and all three have already been purchased. The car is dressed in green, white and red to (obviously) represent the colors of the Italian flag. Based on the Aventador, the Veneno will have 750 horsepower from its 6.5L, 12-cylinder engine and will hit up to 220 mph. It will also have a 7-speed ISR transmission, five driving modes, an all-wheel drive, and an all-carbon fiber monocoque. The name Veneno, which translates to "venom" in spanish (just thought you should know) is named after "one of the fastest bulls in the history of bullfight," according to Lamborghini. Apparently, the name became popular in 1914, after killing José Sánchez Rodriguez in a Sanlúcar de Barrameda's arena bullfight.
