TOP10 of world’s top sports cars (see what top is)
1. Bugatti Veyron
On the list of "Top Ten Most Expensive Cars in the World in 2006", Bugatti Veyron ranked first. There is no Ferrari, no Aston Martin, no Bentley, no Lamborghini or Rolls-Royce on this list. These luxury cars are cheap compared to the Bugatti Veyron. The famous Maybach 57 will also be eligible. And it’s the cheapest car on this list. After years of cheers and anticipation, and years of doubt and ridicule, Volkswagen has finally turned its dream into reality. As soon as this masterpiece debuted, it set two records in the automobile industry: a top speed of 407 kilometers and an astonishing price of US$1.2 million each.

In fact, the names of many supercars are associated with Cai Ruihong. This Xiamen real estate owner can be called "the first person to collect supercars in China." As for his relationship with the Bugatti Veyron, it's simple, that's what's next in his collection. According to Mr. Cai, although he paid a large deposit six months ago, he still has to wait for a long time to get the most expensive and fastest sports car in the world. In order to produce Bugatti completely according to order and customize it for customers, this long wait will also turn into a happy process.

After seeing the Bugatti Veyron, you will understand that there is an essential difference between a sports car worth more than 10 million yuan and a sports car worth 4 to 5 million yuan. It’s not just faster!

Bugatti - a French brand with a history of more than 100 years
Bugatti, a French sports car brand with a history of more than 100 years (but always... Mistaken for an Italian sports car), it has had its fair share of ups and downs over the past century. Since it ceased operations in 1947 due to the death of founder Ettore Bugatti, it was revived in the early 1990s with the efforts of Italian Romano Artioli, a fanatical car fan and industrialist, and launched products like the EB110 A popular supercar-level production car. But unfortunately, Bugatti, which was finally resurrected, declared bankruptcy in 1995 due to the company's financial difficulties, leaving only the EB110 in mass production of 139 units and the stillborn EB112 (1996) concept car.
In 1998, Piech, a German automobile giant, bought Bugatti's trademark rights and officially incorporated Bugatti into the Volkswagen Group, which was under the jurisdiction of the Volkswagen Group. Since Volkswagen took over, Bugatti has almost never been absent from major international auto shows. It has launched several concept cars, but has not made any move in mass production. This situation was not disclosed until the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. The EB16-4 Veyron prototype was only broken when it was born. The EB16-4 Veyron can be said to be the first mass-produced car to bear the Bugatti oval red factory emblem since the EB110, and it is also proof that the Bugatti brand is truly resurrected.
2. Ghost Koenigsegg CCR
CCR has no speed limit, but this does not mean that the ghost can really fly. Advanced electronic fire extinguishing equipment will still control the driver . Its interior is very luxurious, and the ignition device is also quite interesting. You need to press the ignition and electronic device buttons at the same time, then press the clutch, and then press the electronic device and engine buttons at the same time. After these slightly complicated processes, you can start.
The CCR's titanium exhaust device makes its sound loud and powerful. Its voice is neither like the rock-like roar of the SLR McLaren nor the ultra-treble of the Enzo. The tone in between is very pleasant.
China Archives
Now you can also meet this ghost in China. This CCR with a price tag of more than 10 million yuan in Beijing Hongwei Auto Showroom has not been found yet. Chinese owners, but we believe it is only a matter of time and not too long. (This car has been fully and exclusively reported in the 2007 issue of "Car", you can refer to it.)
"Car"
Although they are both low-key, small-scale factories However, the craftsmanship level of CCR is obviously more trustworthy, so that when you look at it at first glance, you will not think of the word "modified". The speed of more than 390 kilometers per hour and the name "Ghost" always make people full of expectations for it. You must understand it to buy it. This is why the only remaining ghost in China is still waiting for its owner. We feel that the term "King of Low Profile" is more appropriate to describe it.
TIPS
Koenigsegg CCX
Nearly a year after launching the CCR model, Koenigsegg has launched a new model - CCX. Compared with CCR, CCX has made great improvements in body technology, but in terms of power, it is still equipped with the same Koenigsegg/Teksid/Ford SVT V8 engine as CCR. The acceleration time from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is reduced by 0.2 seconds to 3.0 seconds. Fans who were looking forward to surpassing the Bugatti Veyron were somewhat disappointed. The new Koenigsegg CCX will be sold at the Caesars Auto Showroom in Las Vegas, USA, priced at US$650,000 (approximately RMB 4.9375 million).
3. Ferrari ENZO
The high price of US$600,000 (approximately 4.557 million yuan, excluding tax), but it is worthy of being ranked in this list. The best value car. Limited to just 400 units worldwide, and with recent reports of ENZO crashes emerging, the number of this supercar is slowly dwindling. If you want to own a Ferrari ENZO, you don't need to be rich. The strict conditions of "you must own more than two Ferraris, and one of them must be more than 10 years old" make ENZO only appear in the collections of "hardcore" fans. .
China Archives
The Ferrari ENZO with such stringent purchase conditions has an owner in Hong Kong. On November 22, 2005, when Aaron Kwok was filming the MV for his new song, in order to enhance the red-hot visual effect, the famous advertising director Richard Au Yeung specifically lobbied him to let his limited edition Ferrari ENZO, currently worth one million US dollars, be used as a "special prop" for the performance. . Aaron Kwok, who loves cars very much, did not agree at first because he was worried that he would accidentally get flowers during filming and would be a little heartbroken. Later, he agreed after being unable to withstand the director's lobbying, but he ordered his assistant to watch over him all night long during non-shooting periods.
"Car"
Apart from a brief appearance at the Ferrari celebration, the lack of an ENZO in mainland China definitely makes us regretful. For mainland collectors for whom price is not an issue, accumulating qualifications that have a special liking for Ferrari is their highest threshold. This may be another ultimate manifestation of ENZO's nobility.
4. Pagani Zonda S
We believe that the only holy city that can be worshiped by enthusiastic car fans all over the world is the small Italian city of Modena. Every car that drives out from here A sports car, whether it bears the name of Ferrari, Lamborghini or Maserati, has become the soul of the sports car world. And in a small car factory in the city, a group of craftsmen carefully crafted a sports car that shocked the world-Pagani Zonda S.
The carbon fiber used in Pagani Zonda S is not only used in the body, its entire cabin is made of carbon fiber protective cover. The weight of the car equipped with 18-inch wheels is only 1250 kilograms (net weight), which is at least 200 kilograms lighter than DIABLO. The entry-level model with the Pagani badge also has an astonishing 500 horsepower, a figure that will make every supercar above nervous. Its parts come from all over the world. In addition to the famous AMG engine, its leather, suspension, brake and other assembly parts are also designed and entrusted to external factories for manufacturing, and are finally sent back to Modena for assembly by the design company.
China Archives
Zonda became famous in China because of a car accident during a test run in Hong Kong in the early morning of April 5, 2002. At that time, the vehicle lost control and hit a roadside fire hydrant. The front of the car was seriously damaged. Among the Pagani's production budget of 40 vehicles, there are only 6 right-hand drive models, of which Hong Kong has obtained 3 shares. One of the owners we can find is Cai Zhiming, known as Hong Kong's "Toy King", he is also the world's The first Pagani owner in Asia. The only film in mainland China, "Zone of the Wind" has had a torturous experience. It was introduced into the country in 2004 and attended numerous auto shows. During this period, the price fluctuated many times. In 2006, this famous car that had been wandering for many years finally found its mysterious owner. Although we still don’t know the final transaction price, we remember that its last price tag was 8.88 million yuan.

To be honest, spending such a big price to buy such a professional sports car is not just about having money. At least where to run it is a big problem. I hope The sports car venues introduced below will give those car owners some suggestions.

It is worth mentioning that when the Versace Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 was exhibited in Shanghai, Hong Kong star Christy Chung was present to cheer up. It seems that a mature and sexy woman is also the most noble and fashionable woman. Good interpretation. At the same time, the cooperation between Lamborghini and Versace is also a typical 1+1gt;2 success story.
6. Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren
This new Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren sports car, known as the "F1 racing car on the road", fully embodies the Mercedes-Benz -The capabilities and experience of Mercedes-Benz and its F1 partner McLaren in developing high-performance sports cars.

It seems that even the most remote cars can find their owners in China. China is definitely a big piece of cake that super luxury car manufacturers cannot ignore.
8. Porsche Carrera GT5
To a certain extent, the Porsche Carrera GT racing car has higher requirements than the Ferrari Enzo. The super powerful power comes from its V10 engine. In January 2000, Porsche Chairman Mr. Wendelin Wiedeking suddenly announced that the company would suspend the development of racing cars and cancel its original plan to participate in the Le Mans endurance race. This shocked the racing world and most Porsche enthusiasts; It's because of the Carrera GT. At that time, Porsche executives had recognized the need to develop and sell a street-friendly supercar to maintain Porsche's reputation and market strength over the years. If you have to choose between racing and building a car, obviously the latter is more important. Less than four years after Mr. Wiedeking's policy was implemented, the first Carrera GT rolled off the assembly line. With 605 horsepower and a $500,000 price tag, it's the standard supercar evolved from a championship racing car. But the most surprising thing about the Carrera GT is its temperament.

The high-profile appearance at the Shanghai Luxury Exhibition did not allow this famous American guy to find an owner.
