There was no shortage of new luxury sports cars manufactured in 2015. The world’s top car makers and specialty manufacturers outdid themselves over the past year with amazing vehicles that boast both incredible bodies and luxury interiors, as well as state-of-the-art engines and mechanics that seem to defy the laws of physics. And the prices charged for these beautiful vehicles also defied expectations, and logic, as the world’s richest people shelled out astronomical sums of money for these marvels of modern engineering. Here is a list of the 10 most expensive sports cars made and sold in 2015.

10. Zenvo ST1 — $1.2 million

The Zenvo ST1 is the cheapest car on this list at a price of $1.2 million. For that price, the buyer gets a beautiful vehicle that sports a seven liter, V8 engine and a top speed of 233 miles per hour. Manufactured in Denmark, the Zenvo ST1 was built by the hands of a small team of workers who paid attention to every conceivable detail in the car. The first vehicle built by the company Zenvo, the ST1 also has more than 1,100 horsepower and comes with features such as keyless entry, satellite navigation, a telescopic steering wheel and adjustable leather racing seats. By the end of 2015 only three of these cars had been made, and there are plans to only build a total of 15 St1 vehicles. Better get your order in now…

The 12 Rarest Cars In The World

9. Ferrari’s LaFerrari Hybrid — $1.3 million

Who doesn’t love a Ferrari? And how can you go wrong with a luxury supercar that is also a hybrid vehicle? Awesome and environmentally responsible at the same time. But make no mistake, this is not your typical hybrid car. The LaFerrari Hybrid has a V12 engine that produces 950 horsepower and can go from 0-120 miles per hour faster than most cars can go 0-60 miles per hour. All this, and the car uses 40% less gasoline than any other Ferrari on the market today. It is also comparatively light at just over 2,000 pounds and contains a number of electronic controls such as stability control, high performance anti-lock brakes, electronic traction control, and active aerodynamics that ensure maximum driving performance. It’s basically a Ferrari you can feel good about driving.

8. Pagani Huayra — $1.3 million

This Italian-made beauty has a name that means “God of the winds,” and for good reason. The Pagani Huayra has a top speed of 230 miles per hour and is currently the fastest road car to go around the Top Gear television show’s test track—setting a record time of one minute and 13.8 seconds. But what truly sets this car apart is its incredible interior that was apparently inspired by “steam punk,” the science fiction genre that features steam-powered machinery rather than advanced technology. It also has wing doors and funky side view mirrors, making it a favorite of car enthusiasts around the world. Not surprising that video game maker Electronic Arts has already featured this car in the latest versions of its titles Need for Speed and Forza Motorsport.

6. Koenigsegg One:1 — $2 million

Pronounced one-to-one, this car by Swedish automaker Koenigsegg Agera is named for its power to weight ratio. It has both 1,360 horsepower and weighs 1,360 kilograms. The car boasts power equivalent to one megawatt of energy, leading analysts to call it the world’s first megacar. Indeed, the vehicle can hit 250 miles per hour in under 20 seconds thanks to a twin-turbocharged V8 engine. It also has a seven speed dual clutch paddle shift and a carbon fiber engine that weighs less than 500 pounds (relatively light). However, only six of these cars have been built and they were all sold to pre-orders. Bummer. Maybe one will eventually show up for resale online?

5. Ferrari F60 America — $3.2 million

A big jump in price here as we get into the truly expensive cars on this list. And it seems only fitting to start with another Ferrari, the leading name in high-end sports cars. The Ferrari F60 America is typical of the Italian automaker in that it sports a 740 horsepower, V12 engine and can reach 60 miles per hour in three seconds flat. What distinguishes this car is the fact that it is also a soft top, or a convertible. This is pretty cool if you can imagine going more than 200 miles per hour with the wind blowing in your hair. This limited edition car (only 10 models were made) was designed and built to celebrate Ferrari’s 60th anniversary in North America. Accordingly, the car features American flag detailing in the center of the backrests of both seats, as well as a cherry red and black interior and electric blue exterior.

With a top speed of 250 miles per hour and a futuristic looking exterior, this car was a natural for the Fast and Furious movie franchise. It also is the first “supercar” manufactured in the Middle East. And keeping with its luxury Arab roots, the Lykan Hypersport is the first car to have headlights embedded with jewels—the headlights contain titanium LED lights surrounded by 420 diamonds, to be exact. Although buyers are given a choice of rubies, diamonds or sapphires to be integrated into the vehicle’s headlights. Now that’s customization! The car also has gold stitching on the seats and uses a holographic display system on the main console.

10 People Who Are Having Really Bad Days

1. Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita — $4.8 million

Edging out the Lamborghini Veneno as the most expensive sports car made and sold in 2015 is the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita. So what makes this limited edition sports car so expensive? Well, for starters, its body is made from a diamond dusted carbon fiber. That is right, the body of the car has diamond dust embedded in it. Under the hood is a twin supercharged V8 engine that produces 1,000 horsepower and 800 pound feet of torque. It is also an environmentally friendly vehicle as it runs on ethanol. Owners are able to customize just about anything they want with this car. And its sleek design led it to be named one of the 10 most beautiful cars in history by Forbes magazine. Sadly, only three of these cars were made and were sold before a prototype of the vehicle was even finished. This is one car that is sure to appreciate with age. The features, design and limited number made will make it a well sought after car for years to come. Plus, you know, it is encrusted in diamond dust.
