The world's most expensive cars vary in shape and power but all share a powerful sense of prestige. There's a knock on the door. For once, it's not your neighbour trying to borrow your mower or a uni student selling mobile phone plans. Instead a bloke with a suit, a briefcase and a big smile is offering you his hand. "I'm from the lotteries," he says. "Your numbers have come up." Your life changes instantly. With many millions of dollars coming your way you can finally pay off the house or, better yet, buy a new one in a flash suburb where the neighbours have their own lawnmowers. And, of course, you'll be needing a new set of wheels. With price no object, your list of options is looking very bright indeed. You'll soon be up to your ears in leather, gold and horsepower. For all of those new lottery winners out there (and those of us who dream of being in that position themselves), this week we present a shopping guide to the world's 10 most expensive production cars. Prices given are best estimates. On all but the Rolls and the Bentley you'll have to pay additional import and luxury taxes.
