The 6 Rarest Cars in the World

So, I love fast cars and more importantly, rare cars. These are the 6 Rarest cars in the world.

Price

The actor James Coburn’s 1961 Ferrari 250GT Spyder sold in 2008 at an incredible $10.9 million, which makes it the most expensive car ever. Only 36 units were built, so while it does not make the car very rare, its price does. The Spyder was considered to be one of the best-looking cars ever built, and looks similar to James Bond’s Jaguar.

Next is the 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe, which sold at a whopping $9.7 million in 1987in a Christie’s Albert Hall auction. (It may be worth double that today.) The car boasts of a 12.7-liter aircraft engine. Only six were built, which makes it truly rare.

Number

In terms of numbers built for a stock car, the 1967 and the 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T Convertibles top the list. Only two were built for each model.  Of course, many racing cars were of single-car editions, but they were built for other purposes than selling to the public.

American Muscle

This means the rarest and most powerful American stock cars, and the best were the 1969 ZL1 Camaro, and the 1968 L88 Corvette.  The Camaro packs 500 horses under its hood that enables it to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles in 5.3 seconds, making it a popular muscle car for drag racing.
 Meanwhile the Corvette has an engine made for racing that produces 550 horsepower and pushes the car to 170mph top speed. Because General Motors does not want this car on the road due to its muscle, it was offered without the airconditioning or radio as standard features.

Futurism

Among the American cars that were considered ‘advanced’ in design in their time, two concept cars come to mind: the 1954 Oldsmobile F-88 and the 1938 Phantom Corsair.  The F-88 was built by General Motor’s Oldsmobile Division and was a radical departure from the trend at the time.  It sat low, had pigskin upholstery, large front grill, the rear deck was unusual, and it has a 250-hp V8 ‘Rocket’ engine. Only one was built, although three other versions followed, but these were different from the original.

Meantime, the Corsair was anti-trending in that it was a completely closed car; even the front wheels were covered. The nose was lowered, the headlights were small and its body was made of beaten aluminum. Entry was electrically controlled via panels above the windows.
