Forbes magazine decided to pull together the most expensive cars in the United States. To add a little variety, they selected the most expensive model per brand so as not to litter the list with Rolls Royce and Lamborghinis.
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is one of the most powerful, most expensive, and fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a proven top speed of over 253 mph. It reached full production in September 2005. The car is built by Volkswagen AG subsidiary Bugatti Automobiles SAS and is sold under the legendary Bugatti marque. It is named after racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti firm.
