Automobile manufacturers have always done a fantastic job of bringing the most unimaginable car models to life. Since their invention, cars have been the sole dominator of the roads and the race tracks.
Cars are no longer just a means of transport, they have become an element that says so much about the one who drives it. The car you drive tends to dictate your social and economic status in society.
For the elite of the world, sports cars have become a way of exhibiting their wealth and personality traits. Sports cars are not just assigned to the tracks anymore. Many models can now be seen pacing along the highways. These expensive sports cars are highly valued due to their powerful engines and aesthetic exteriors.
Let us take a look at the top 10 most expensive sports cars in the world.

If there is one sports car on the planet that is drenched in diamonds, it is the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita. This car is probably the most expensive sports car that has been legalized to be driven on roads.
What manages to set it a class apart is the carbon fiber that it uses. Previously carbon fiber came only in variants but with credit to Swedish manufacturers, Trevita is made up of carbon fibers that have a diamond finish. This material allows this sports car to gleam like a thousand tiny diamonds have been sprinkled on top of it when the sunlight hits it. It is very reminiscent of Edward Cullen in the Twilight series. If you know, you know.
This white regal automobile is powered by a 4.8 liter V8 which operates at 1,018 hp, with a top speed of 254 mph and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds.
The name Triveta had been opted for as the maker had planned on making only three of these white beauties. You would be surprised to know that they were successful in making only two of these because of the hard-to-manufacture diamond carbon fiber.
