2008 Ferrari F430 Scuderia

On Sale: Spring 2008 Expected Pricing: About $220,000
The Ferrari F430 Scuderia, a lightweight version of the F430 coupe, goes on sale next spring.
The F430 Scuderia, which joins the F430 Coupe and Spyder already on the market, is powered by a 510-hp, 9000-rpm, 4.3-liter V8 engine that makes almost 30 horsepower more than the standard F430 engine. Ferrari says it can go from a dead stop to 62 mph in a mere 3.7 seconds. The engine uses a carbon-fiber intake manifold and a sophisticated spark plug ionization-monitoring ignition system. A paddle-shifted six-speed semiautomatic transmission is standard on the car.
The Scuderia model is a lightweight version of the existing F430 coupe, with a few extra grilles and vents on the body for cooling, and a pair of pointed stripes running over the body from nose to tail. Ferrari says it is completely street legal in the United States, but the car has only the bare minimum of creature comforts for the weekend racer who wants the fastest version available.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Pur Sang, No.1 World Most Expensive Car

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Pur Sang

$ 2,000,000

The leap from No. 2 to No. 1 is partially characterized by a leap from flat paint to no paint. If $1.5 million for a “normal” Veyron seems too common and you can’t wait to see whether the rumored convertible will come to pass, try talking an owner out of the Pur Sang that set him back $2 million -- if he was lucky. Even at this price, demand is far greater than production. Maybe it’s because the naked aluminum and carbon fiber save weight, potentially enabling even greater heroics. More than likely, it’s because a few guys saturated in wealth have the ultimate one-up on every other enthusiast for the moment, so why skimp on this one? You get what you pay for: The entire production run will end at five -- how’s that for exclusivity?
