2008 Maybach Exelero – $8 Million

Unveiled in 2005, the Mayback Exelero is an expensive one-off high-performance supercar built by the German car manufacturer Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH, a subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler. It’s powered by a twin-turbo V12 engine with an output of 690 horsepower and a top speed of 350 km/h.

Having appeared in the last episode of the long-running German show Cobra 11 somehow made the supercar popular. The car was purchased by the American rapper Birdman for an astonishing price of $8 million in 2011, according to Top Gear. However, the sale was determined to be unfounded by Motorvision as they tracked down the car. They found out that the car was owned by Mechatronik in Germany. The American rapper Jay-Z also featured the Exelero in the music video for his song Lost One, which gave the car a rejuvenated high profile—credit to Jay-Z.
