Video: World's most expensive cars
While the rich surely
don't worry about $4 a gallon gas like the
rest of us, the fallout from the credit crisis
is having a stifling effect on luxury car
sales. Sales of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bugattis
and Bentleys are reported to have slowed around
the world, although spikes have been noted
for slightly less ostentatious models, including
Maseratis, Mercedes and BMWs.
Even many of the superrich have
decided, apparently, to take a wait-and-see
approach on restocking their garages. But
once the desire for an exotic sports car or
luxury sedan gets too much to resist, they'll
find a growing array of incredible cars at
uber prices waiting for them.

The Veyron was conceived to be the fastest, most powerful and most expensive supercar on Earth, and its sheer power, performance and styling are unique even among top-of-the-line Porsches and Ferraris. The powerplant -- essentially two V-8s linked together into a "W" pattern -- can produce 1,001 horsepower, far more than a NASCAR Sprint Cup auto and even more than is allowed in current Formula 1 cars. The height-adjustable suspension is framed by a pair of monstrous 20-inch wheels in the front and 21-inch wheels in the rear.
 Price: $1,500,000 Style: Two-door coupe
Engine: 16-cylinder, 8.0-liter, 1,001 horsepower
Performance: 253 mph top speed
