Let's face it, buying a car, any car, isn't cheap in Singapore, and that goes double when you want to buy an exotic.
Even an entry-level Ferrari, the Portofino, will toll you effectually S$1 million, one time you factor in COE premiums and some of the tastier items off the options listing.
But the 10 cars on this listing will brand even such prices expect tame.
That is, if you can even get them. Some of them are 1-offs and those that aren't are built in highly limited quantities, and by the fourth dimension you read about them, there's more than a good chance they'll already have sold out.
At whatever charge per unit, feast your optics on these hot machines, because unless you move in the same circles equally their owners, seeing them equally digital renderings on your screen volition be the closest you'll go to them.

MCLAREN SPEEDTAIL
US$two million (Southward$2.76 million)
The near affordable motorcar on the list here can be yours for the absolute bargain basement price of Usa$2 million. Only affair is, you tin can't have it, fifty-fifty if you had the money, because all 106 of the Hyper-GTs were already spoken for by the time of its launch in October 2018.
Despite being a relative steal, the Speedtail is nonetheless deeply impressive. Its hybrid powertrain thumps out one,050hp and its super-glace, teardrop-shaped body (including its prodigious 5,137mm length and retractable, photographic camera-based wing mirrors) means it'll reach 300km/h from a standstill in 12.viii seconds.
The Speedtail will go on to reach a top speed, McLaren says, of 403km/h, which is a ridiculous figure in and of itself, and even more so when you consider that speed is a third of the speed of sound.
FERRARI FXX-K EVO
US$two.6 meg
If you have to ask featherbrained questions and fence the logic of paying nearly US$3 million for a auto you don't really own, tin't drive on the road, can't enter in race events, and can just be driven during special track days, and fifty-fifty then only when Ferrari gives its okay, so it tin can only mean you lot tin't spare the cash.
The third (well, 3rd-and-a-half, given its Evo nature) iteration of Ferrari's FXX programme sees a very small group of 40 customer-racers used equally test-pilots for technological advancements that might or might not brand it onto future Ferrari road cars.
Derived from the LaFerrari hybrid hypercar, the FXX-K Evo is an aerodynamics and quality-of-life upgrade package for the FXX-K that sees, among other things, a 23 per centum downforce increase and improvements to its on-board telemetry systems.
Oh, and ane more thing. For the coin, Ferrari will also accept intendance of all maintenance work on the FXX-G Evo and shop it for you… which is generous enough of them.

MERCEDES-AMG I
Us$2.7 million
Some hypercar manufacturers bill their most insane products as Formula 1 cars for the road, but mayhap no other hypercar has as much a claim to that as the forthcoming Mercedes-AMG I.
That'south because its one.6-litre turbocharged V6 is derived direct from the all-conquering, championship-winning Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid from 2016. Well, not exactly similar the motor used in the race car, considering of such pesky things every bit emissions, noise regulations and the small matter of having to utilize specialised race fuel.
Still, we doubt that the One's 275 prospective owners, who will have delivery of their new ride from 2022 onwards, will be complaining all besides much. The hybrid hypercar volition develop in excess of 1,000hp and its engine volition scream to eleven,000rpm, which is more akin to a motorbike than a car.
KOENIGSEGG JESKO
U.s.$2.8 1000000
Information technology'due south mayhap telling that in its low-power fashion, running on boring one-time petrol, the Koenigsegg Jesko's power output is just 1,280hp. Should you lot decide that'due south not enough, make full the world's first megacar (Koenigsegg'due south words, not ours) with E85 biofuel and information technology'll produce an amazing 1,600hp.
The residual of the Jesko is similarly a collection of reality-altering figures. Like how it has ix clutches. Nine. An comeback over the dual-clutch gearbox used by its predecessor and pretty much every one of its competitors. The gearbox allows drivers to skip to the gear they want, without having to pass through any of the intervening ones. Madness.
Unfortunately, the most important figures, specifically those concerning acceleration and acme speed oasis't yet been revealed by Koenigsegg, though information technology's probably rubber to say they'll exist bordering on the impossible. There are already murmurs going circular that the Jesko will achieve a pinnacle speed just shy of 500km/h…
ASTON MARTIN VALKYRIE
U.s.$iii.2 1000000
For but over a year, the Aston Martin Valkyrie had no official name. It was instead known as the AM-RB 001, the first pair of initials cogent Aston Martin and the latter two, Formula One team Red Balderdash Racing, of which its technical managing director Adrian Newey was a key collaborator in the project.
While that declaration showed off the hypercar in all its glory, technical details would only follow some months later on in February 2017, and information technology was everything a car nut could hope for – a kerb weight of just over i,000kg, output of over i,000hp, with most of its thrust coming from a screaming 6.v-litre V12 engine.
It was only a month later the reveal of its technical specifications that its proper name was revealed: Valkyrie. Sadly, the Valkyrie doesn't have a starring function in the upcoming 25th James Bond movie, though another upcoming Aston Martin will, and aye, information technology has an equally dramatic proper name: Valhalla.

BUGATTI CHIRON SPORT 110 ANS BUGATTI
U.s.$iii.4 million
Offset, a Chiron primer. The U.s.$3 million Chiron was first presented in 2022 and it was announced that no more than 500 will ever exist built. The Chiron Sport, a more focused variant congenital for days out at the race rail, was announced in 2018, is priced at US$3.3 million and shares the latter's 500 build slots.
Which brings us to this, the Chiron Sport to gloat the 110th anniversary of the carmaker's founding and sporting such details as a matte-blue (France's traditional racing livery) and tricolour detailing on its wing mirrors and on the underside of its rear spoiler.
Simply xx will always be made, and again, it shares the standard Chiron's 500 build slots. Which makes this limited-edition car'southward toll of Usa$three.4 million seem like an absolute deal. But if yous're reading this now, it'southward more than likely all of them volition already take been snapped up.
LAMBORGHINI VENENO
US$iv.5 million
Think of whatsoever Lamborghini and the word extrovert will come to mind, what with their fighter-jet inspired details and athwart styling. The Aventador supercar is a skilful example, exhibiting such characteristic styling touches equally scissor doors and more precipitous edges than a throwing star.
The Veneno, a ultra-limited version (but five coupes and nine open-top roadsters exist) of the Aventador, takes all that and cranks up the dial to almost caricature-ish levels. Taking inspiration from purpose-built racing prototypes, the Veneno (meaning 'venom' in Castilian) has an appropriately large number of vents, strakes and aerodynamic accoutrements. And of course, that enormous rear wing, with a shark fin aerodynamic aid thrown in for good mensurate.
The nearly outlandish thing about the Veneno, even so, is that it's completely road legal.

MAYBACH EXELERO
U.s.a.$viii million
If you idea the Maybach Exelero was a concept automobile, given its retro-futuristic lines and looking similar a Tim Burton-era Batmobile, you wouldn't be entirely off the mark.
Built as a rolling testbed and demonstrator for German tyre manufacturer's then-new Carat Exelero tyre range, the Exelero wasn't a concept automobile in that it was a runner. And boy, could it run – the brief was that the car must be able to exceed speeds of 350km/h, in order to fully exam Fulda'southward new tyres.
Built in 2005, the Exelero would prove to be the first and last custom-bodied Maybach of the mod age built by the manufacturing plant and in public hands. The fate of Maybach would prove far less noble, notwithstanding. Suffering from ailing sales numbers, brand owners Daimler quietly killed off Maybach in 2013, to be resurrected in 2022 every bit an ultra-luxury sub-make of Mercedes-Benz.
ROLLS-ROYCE SWEPTAIL
US$thirteen 1000000
Rolls-Royce is a trivial cagey about revealing how much its Phantom Coupe-based Sweptail is priced at. Fairly solid rumour says information technology costs US$13 one thousand thousand, simply nosotros'll never know for certain.
What nosotros do know is information technology's the first custom-bodied Rolls-Royce in decades, with its torpedo-shaped rear and massive wood parcel shelf supplanting the rear seats evoking the feel of racing yachts.
The Sweptail is the result of several years of back-and-forth consultation between the carmaker's factory in Goodwood and the client, a "connoisseur and collector of distinctive, 1-off items including super-yachts and private aircraft," said Rolls-Royce.

BUGATTI LA VOITURE NOIR
U.s.a.$xix million
If you own a Bugatti Chiron, you're already breathing extremely rarefied air, just if you lot're the owner of La Voiture Noir, a one-off Chiron with a custom body, you're probably inhaling the air of a different planet. Jupiter, perhaps.
The Chiron to end all Chirons boasts custom bodywork recalling the legendary Type 57 SC Atlantic from the 1930s. Finished in a sinister, glossy blackness, La Voiture Noir'south bespoke touches include a wraparound windshield, a silver dorsal spine and six laterally-arranged tailpipes.
The price? An heart-watering Usa$19 million, making it the most expensive new car ever sold by a good, long margin.
