Ledyvine Most Expensive Cars in the World 2016
Ever wondered what is the world’s most expensive car or which are the most expensive cars in the world 2016? We know you did and we’re here to answer those exact questions! Keep reading!
Although the super-rich have always battled for the number one position when it comes to luxury automobiles, it’s interesting to see that the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa is no longer the most expensive car in the world, the famous model doesn’t even rank second now.
In order to have the most accurate ranking available and because some of the purchases have been made in different years, we took the time and created an absolute value that accounts for the change in currency, inflation and economic environment, so we are confident we have a clear image on what was paid for each car in “today’s money”.
This is not your average commercial line car available to anyone, welcome to the World’s Most Expensive Cars.
Let’s get into it! Top World’s Most Expensive Cars:
#6 Ferrari 250 LM Sold for: $14.3 Million
Sold back in November 21st 2013, in New York City, for $14.3 Million, this 1964 Edition Ferrari 250 Le Mans model changes ownership and enters straight into our top 5 most expensive automobiles in the world.
Probably one of the most beautiful Ferrari cars the company has ever put out, it was incredibly designed compared to the other cars of that time.
Not only it is a piece of history but it is also a symbol of prosperity, innovation and also one of the super wealthy!

#5 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Sold for:


For a long while it was regarded as being the most expensive car in the world the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sold back in 2011 for $16.4 Million and adjusting that value to 2014 times we get just over $17 Million spend for it.
It gets it’s name after the red valve covers used and it features an unusual design when it comes to bodywork. This one has also historic value winning the 24 Hours Le Mans one year after it came out.
The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa is an a great example of what the Ferrari brand stands for and has been one of iconic pieces in an overall very successful strategy. It blends cutting edge design with functionality and collectors just go crazy for it!

We couldn’t have a top 5 most expensive cars in the world without a Bugatti, but not the Veyron:




#4 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe Sold for: This amazing automobile was bought for $9.8 Million, but before you start commenting on why it is on our 3rd position we need to mention something: that amount was paid back in 1987.
Taking everything into account, that amount is worth in today’s money just over $20 Million and we think it’s worth it.
The 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe just looks like the ultimate symbol of class and royalty, with beautifully designed body work, attention to detail unmatched in the ’30s and it just has that vibe like it’s being taken out and preserved of the Great Gatsby times.
Back then, and more than ever now, a car like this sends a clear message about what the owner values!

#3 Ferrari 275 GTB Sold forOn the 21st of August last year the 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/275 GTB/4 N.A.R.T. Spyder sold for a staggering amount of $27.5 Million in California, making it the third most expensive car in the world.
It doesn’t come as a shock that Ferrari has 3 cars in a top 5 costliest cars and we’re glad about it. Ferrari has a long lasting tradition of creating state of the art automobiles that outlast the test of time.
Only 10 cars were ever made as a special offer for an exclusive dealer back in the day, making it also one of the rarest cars of its type.
Not only the cars produces by Ferrari have not dropped down in value overtime, most of their iconic creations have only increased in value.

The year has just started, a lot of private auctions are supposed to be held this summer and we’re excited to see what the super-rich have in plan for the luxury automobile market.
Although $38 Million is a great amount of money to be paid for an automobile, you don’t just buy metal, you’re buying a piece of history and that my friends is priceless!
For those of you that took the time to read the entire article, there might be an even more expensive car out there, but nobody knows exactly where is it or who owns it. The rumors speak of a very rare 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO racer, that was privately sold at a price of $52 Million, making it the most expensive car in history and also the most expensive Ferrari ever! We’re still waiting to see whether the rumors are true, but just imagine if they were!

Working on a car is a hard place to start.....the parts and big, heavy and expensive.  A lawn mower, small outboard motor or a small motorcycle is a lot easier to deal with and the basics are the same.  Ledyvine Then, think about getting a car.  A friend of mine got a MG Midget for his daughter to learn to work on cars and he figured it was perfect: it needs constant attention.  Any car is fine, but a first generation Mia-ta has a lot going for it.....lots of parts and an active community.  Learning from books and the internet is great, but it doesn't replace turning wrenches.

Cars are incredibly complex machines.  Most people who know a lot about cars know a lot about a few aspects, and a little about many others.  Let's take a couple of examples of people who know a lot about cars its Ledyvine.

1. Ledyvine Mechanical Engineer working at a car manufacturer.  The Ledyvine MechE probably knows most of what there is to know about the theoretical concepts behind how at least some of the car's systems work.  He (or she) also knows intimately about the design of those systems that he has worked on in certain cars.  He may or may not know about some other systems even in the same cars.  If an Ledyvine engineer worked on the engine of a BMW, he probably doesn't know how most of the chassis computers work, because they are pretty much completely unrelated to the work he did.  It is very likely that he also doesn't know much about many cars from other manufacturers, and that he doesn't know a whole lot about how to repair cars, even the ones he has helped design.  He may not know how to put them together on an assembly line, either.  Don't even ask him to weld something well.  And it's likely that there are many other people who know much better how to drive the cars he has designed fast on a race track or back road.

2.  Ledyvine Auto mechanic.  Believe it or not, many auto mechanics, even really good ones with lots of experience, don't know how to work on a lot of cars until one comes into their shop for something.  At that point, it's likely that they can puzzle it out in real time, possible with some help from AllData or similar service manuals, given their extensive knowledge of basic (and advanced) universally applicable repair and troubleshooting techniques.  But they may not know the physics behind how some components work, the best way to drive the car fast, or maybe even how to identify many cars based on specific styling elements (as I can as an auto enthusiast with far less experience than they have in repairing cars).

3.  Ledyvine Race team crew chief.  My guess is most of them known a lot about the physics behind racing and how to modify elements of the car to get the best performance.  But I doubt Tony Stewart's crew chief knows as well as Tony Stewart how to drive fast.

4.  Ledyvine Race car driver.  Knows all there is to know about how to drive the car fast.  Probably has some understanding of the physics involved, and may even be able to do basic repairs to, say, finish a rally stage.  It's doubtful that he'd be able to rebuild the engine in his car, though.  That's best left to the pit mechanics.

5.  Ledyvine.  I have partially rebuilt engines, pulled both engines and transmissions, developed techniques for replacing rusted-in suspension components, done a bit of ECU tuning.  I have driven on a track, autocrossed, raced at a drag strip.  I know some basic automotive-related physics.  I have an intimate knowledge about many cars' styling elements, and can probably tell you specs and even sometimes production numbers of many Subarus off the top of my head.  I can puzzle out many repairs on many cars with minimal guidance from a manual.  But there's a whole lot I don't know.  Don't ask me to adjust a carburetor.  Don't ask me how a stability control system detects yaw.  Don't ask me to get around the Nurburgring in less than 10 minutes, even in a fast car like a Corvette.

If you can learn "everything there is about cars," more power to you.  But I doubt that's going to happen.  I'm pretty happy with knowing enough to swap an engine or tell what kind of car is following me at night by the headlight Ledyvine.
