10 of the rarest cars in the world

What in the world can be compared with a collection of rare things? Especially those that are no longer produced. Many people are willing to put out phenomenal money to supplement their collection of rare items with another unique specimen. But in comparison with brands or old coins to find and purchase an exclusive car is very difficult. You can buy fabulously expensive car, but how to determine that it is unique?

The given list will help collectors and admirers of cars learn more about really rare vehicles. All presented cars can not be called the fastest or incredibly beautiful. Some of them seem completely impractical, even useless. But they all stand out because such cars can not be seen on the street, because their number can be determined with the fingers of one hand.

Packard Panther

This machine, built in 1954, was never put into mass production. In total, 4 copies of the "Panther" were made, of which up to now two have survived. Now this double sports car with an elegant exterior and interior design is estimated at about 800 thousand dollars.

Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing

The first sports car from the famous German company was produced in the period from 1957 to 1963. It was equipped with characteristic rising doors in the form of a gull wing. At the time, this 215-strong sports car was considered one of the fastest in the world.

Due to the small number of copies and unique design of the Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing is in the list of desired acquisitions of almost all collectors of cars. This explains the cost of such a machine - about $ 1.5 million.

Tucker'48

By the name of the car it's easy to guess the date of its manufacture. In 1948, the company managed to collect 51 copies, before it was closed in March of the next year because of financial problems and pressure from more eminent and rich competitors.

The presented two-door model differed in the central position of the rudder and a 150-strong 6-cylinder engine capable of accelerating the car to 100 km / h in just 10 seconds. The car, originally worth about 4 thousand dollars, is now estimated at 1.2 million dollars.

1921 Helica De Leyat

In 1921 the French automobile company Leyat introduced its first model - Helica, called the "Airplane without wings". The machine really resembled an airplane of that time, because it was set in motion with the help of an air four-bladed propeller, and could accelerate to a speed of 70 km / h. The double open body was made of plywood. The passenger seat was located behind the driver's, and a special metal mesh guarded the driver from the rotating blades.

In just 6 years Leyat managed to sell 30 copies of such an unusual car. One of them can be seen in the Paris Museum of Crafts and Arts.

Talbot Lago Grand Sport

The presented sports car could become an ideal Batmobile, if on the place of a superhero instead of Bruce Wayne present the butler Alfred. A total of 12 such cars were produced, and each of them costs a fortune of $ 2.5 million.

Porsche 916

This prototype was designed in the early 70-ies of the last century and was considered at that time one of the fastest cars in the world.

In total, 11 copies were produced, one of which is in the United States, the rest - in the United Arab Emirates. The approximate price of such a sports car on private car markets is 3 million dollars.

Rolls-Royce 15 HP

When this car in 1904 for the first time left the gates of the automobile company, its engine (15 horsepower) was commensurate with a small power plant. The car is considered the first child of the legendary company Rolls-Royce.

Of the two dozen cars released to this day survived six copies, and each of them is valued by insurance companies in a colossal amount - $ 35 million.

1954 Oldsmobile F-88

This sports car stood out incredibly powerful for the 50's 250-strong engine. The car with a chassis from Chevrolet Corvette and ultra-light fiberglass body was released in only four copies. For each of them collectors would have to pay now about 3.5 million dollars.

Aston Martin Bulldog

All over the world, only one collection can boast of this car, since it was released in a single copy. Initially, the company "Aston Martin" planned to build 25 "Bulldogs", but failed to realize this idea. But the 750-strong sport car with wedge-shaped design became the prototype for creating the serial model DMC-12.

The cost of the Bulldog is 1.3 million dollars, but this is an acceptable price for a one-of-a-kind car on the planet.

Ferrari 250 GT Spyder

Of course, what is the rating of unique cars without the representative of the Italian company "Ferrari"? The car, released in a single copy, is fabulously expensive - about $ 10 million.

Looking at the presented models of the rarest cars in the world, one can only imagine how effectively they would look together. Much to our regret, it is impossible to collect them all even the richest collectors.
