Over the last few decades, different automakers have been in a heated battle to dominate the supercar market. As a result, there's a growing selection of supercars with crazy, futuristic designs, next-gen technologies, and potent engines that allow them to break records that have stood for ages.
Due to the complexity and amount of time it takes to create the best of the best supercars, they are typically produced in extremely limited numbers and cost seven or even eight-figures. Only the super-rich can afford these magnificent playthings, which is why most normal people only see them in movies and music videos when their favorite celebrities are driving them. The following are ten of the most expensive supercars ever produced.
