Koenigsegg Agera R


For a car fanatic, there probably can never be a more exciting and gripping topic than the most expensive cars in the country.

For all car enthusiasts, here's a short encounter with the seven most expensive cars that can be imported into India.

Before getting to the list, we need to mention that the Aston Martin One 77 does not show up in this compilation due to the fact that only 77 units of this model were produced and sold, making it a collectors item.

As for the Koenigsegg Agera goes; despite being a road-legal car internationally, it simply cannot function in India. These two cars, therefore have been excluded.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4

Bugatti Veyron

Price: Rs 12 crore (ex-showroom)

And why would it when the force rushing that needle along its scale comes from a magnificently powerful 8-litre 16-cylinder engine that can spin an unimaginable 1,001 bhp at 6,000 rpm for 1,250 Nm of torque generated over 2,200-5,500 rpm.

The Spirit of Ecstasy, the bonnet ornament on Rolls-Royce cars

While the famous 'suicide doors', the avant-garde front grille, the vast expanse of land that it covers, the plush interior setting and the roaring 6.75-litre V12 power-mill under the hood keeps this ride well-bonded to its ancestral generations, the novel and contemporary headlamp-fog lamp cluster, the gadgetry updates inside the cabin and the new 5-camera parking assist system brings it at par with its ultra-modern rivals.
