Lamborghini Veneno Roadster

Designed to commemorate the company's 50th anniversary, 'Veneno' literally means poison in Spanish, and the design does appear lethal. The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, which resembles an alien space capsule, can reach speeds that can literally give one of those a run for their money. The 6.5-liter V12 engine, coupled with a seven-speed single clutch ISR automated manual transmission, can spin at 8,400 rpm to produce 740 horsepower and 507 pound-feet of torque, allowing the car to reach 60 mph in 2.9 seconds!

The monoque is made of carbon fiber and is heavily inspired by the LP700-4 Aventador. The sprung portion is mounted on top of a pushrod-actuated suspension, and the total dry weight of this carbon-fiber vehicle is only 3,285 pounds, despite being driven by a full all-wheel-drive system.

With only 9 units produced, the main issue with these cars is their exorbitant resale values—one was sold for $11 million! When it was first introduced, it was the most expensive car ever produced in the world, and with only three available to customers in the first batch, there was a mad dash to get your hands on the remaining ones.

Price: $4.5 million
