The sixth-most expensive car in the world.

The sixth-most expensive car is actually the fastest street-legal car in the world, with a top speed of 257 mph and an acceleration rate of 0-60 in 2.7 seconds. And what a bargain! You can pick up an SSC Ultimate Aero for just about half what you would pay for the top car on this list, and then go out and beat that car in a race. (We will admit that bargain is a relative term in the context of this sort of list.) One slight catch, though: It is estimated that only 25 of this exact model will ever be produced. And, as if to make you want what you can not have even more, the newest Ultimate Aero has 15 percent more horsepower and is theoretically capable of reaching 287 mph, with a sixth-gear rated top speed of 287.102 mph
