The Most Expensive Cars Ever

The most expensive car currently on sale in Britain is the Porsche Carrera GT. This ultra-exotic supercar costs £321,093.

It may be our most expensive car today but stood against the most expensive cars ever sold, its stature is so small and insignificant it would likely be trodden on...
