Bugatti Type 41 Royale Kellner Coupe – $9.7 Million
Bugatti nowadays is known for its super-fast and expensive supercars. However, they were known to produce luxury vehicles back in the day, like the Type 41 Royale, which was built between 1927 and 1933—there’s a degree of antiquity in this vehicle. The Royale was powered with a 12.763-liter straight-eight engine and weighed approximately 7,000 pounds. In comparison, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is 25% lighter and 20% shorter than the Bugatti Type 41 Royale. Officially, the Royale is one of the largest cars in the world and, unofficially, one of the most stylish.
The owner and founder of the company, Ettore Buggati, planned to build 25 of these vehicles at the time and sell them to royalties as the most luxurious vehicle ever. However, the cars were built at the time of the Great Depression of America, and the sales were not good. There were only three units sold out of the seven made. Forbes reported in 2001 that the price tag of this car is around $10 million, and CarBuzz reported that one Royale was sold in 1987 for $9.7 million at an auction.
