Railway is an important national transportation infrastructure and a major livelihood project, which has always been concerned by all walks of life, delegates and members attending the meeting. Recently, Lu Dongfu, deputy to the National People’s Congress, chairman and party secretary of China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd., accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV reporters and introduced the relevant situation of promoting the high-quality development of railways.

Focus on making up shortcomings, preventing risks and promoting railway construction with high quality.

Lu Dongfu introduced that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. adhered to the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on railway work, and promoted railway construction in a scientific, orderly, safe and high-quality manner. The national railway operating mileage increased from 121,000 kilometers at the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" to 146,300 kilometers, an increase of 20.9%, of which the high-speed rail increased from 19,800 kilometers to 37,900 kilometers, nearly doubling, "four vertical and four horizontal" Especially in 2020, we will conscientiously implement the deployment requirements of "increasing the national railway construction capital by 100 billion yuan" in the Government Work Report, effectively respond to the impact and impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, and the national railway capital construction investment will exceed the level of 2019, which has made important contributions to the "six guarantees" and the implementation of the "six guarantees" task.

Lu Dongfu introduced that the implementation of the "Proposal" of the 14 th Five-Year Plan of the Central Committee, during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period, the railway construction task is still very heavy, and the scale of projects under construction and approved is 3.19 trillion yuan; By 2025, the national railway mileage will reach about 170,000 kilometers, including about 50,000 kilometers of high-speed rail (including intercity railway). Railways basically cover cities with urban population of more than 200,000, and high-speed rail covers 98% of cities with urban population of more than 500,000. The railway department will more consciously use the new development concept to guide railway construction and strive to achieve high-quality development.

First, insist on making up the shortcomings. Closely connect with the national strategy, focus on organizing and implementing trunk projects that serve the national strategy and land development, take into account existing trunk channel reinforcement, comprehensive transportation hub supporting, undertaking "transit railway" transportation and other short-board projects, and strive to improve investment efficiency and the overall function of the road network.

The second is to persist in doing our best to do what we can. Coordinate the regional economic and social development, the overall planning and layout of the road network, the guarantee of construction funds and other factors, taking into account the needs and possibilities. On the one hand, we will maintain a certain investment intensity and further exert the pulling effect of railway construction investment, on the other hand, we will pay more attention to the efficiency and benefit of railway investment, reasonably control the scale of railway construction debts, prevent debt risks and ensure the high-quality and sustainable development of railway construction.

The third is to adhere to the construction of classification and stratification. Implement the principle of the division of powers between the central and local governments, and adhere to the principle of "who makes decisions, who raises funds, who benefits and who subsidizes". China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. is mainly responsible for the construction of national trunk railways that belong to the common powers of the central and local governments. For intercity railways and feeder railways, the local governments mainly contribute to the construction and bear the responsibility of investment decision-making. China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. gives full play to its professional and technical advantages and provides help and support.

Lu Dongfu specially introduced that sichuan-tibet railway is a century-long strategic project planned, deployed and promoted by the Supreme Leader General Secretary, and China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. regards it as the "number one project" of railway construction, and promotes it with the strength of the whole industry. Since the construction started on November 8 last year, all participating units have mobilized elite teachers to overcome many difficulties and quickly form a tough situation. Since the beginning of winter, including the Spring Festival, the contractors have not gone down the mountain in winter construction. At present, the tunnel projects of "two tunnels and one bridge" (Sejilashan Tunnel, Kangding No.2 Tunnel and Daduhe Bridge) which started in advance have all been transferred to the tunnel construction, and the bridge foundation construction has been fully carried out, forming a good pilot demonstration effect; Bidding is being organized for 186 kilometers from Ya ‘an to xinduqiao and 151 kilometers from Bomi to Linzhi, and construction can be started at the end of March; Xinduqiao-Bomi 674km is under special technical review, and preliminary design review is carried out in the near future, so as to bid in August and meet the conditions for construction in the fourth quarter. We will further improve our political stance, strengthen our responsibility, resolutely run the sichuan-tibet railway project, and never live up to the trust and trust of the Supreme Leader General Secretary.

Do a good job in transportation support under the condition of normalization of epidemic prevention and control

Lu Dongfu introduced that in recent years, with the continuous expansion of the high-speed rail network, railway passenger transport has maintained a rapid growth momentum for more than 10 years. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the number of national railway passengers sent reached 14.9 billion, of which 9 billion were sent by EMUs, up by 41% and 152% respectively compared with the 12th Five-Year Plan period. At the same time, measures such as e-tickets, face-brushing verification, online seat selection, online ordering, etc. have been continuously introduced, and service guarantee measures for the elderly and off-line people have been implemented, so that watching China on the high-speed train has become a true portrayal of the vast number of tourists enjoying a beautiful travel life. The outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic has had a great impact on railway passenger transport. In 2020, the national railway passenger traffic decreased by 39% year-on-year. In order to cope with the epidemic, this year we put forward and implemented the business strategy of "insufficient long-distance transportation, insufficient spring tour in Spring Festival travel rush, insufficient winter in summer and insufficient passenger transportation", and achieved positive results. In the first two months, the passenger traffic completed by the railway decreased by 4.5% year-on-year, but the passenger traffic in the pipeline increased by 3.3% year-on-year. In the next step, we will use big data to accurately implement "one map a day", scientifically allocate transportation resources, organize spring outing and summer passenger transportation, and better adapt to the travel needs of the broad masses of people under the situation of epidemic prevention and control.

Railways can make more contributions to peak carbon dioxide emissions and transportation emission reduction in China.

Lu Dongfu introduced that the central government’s decision to adjust the transportation structure and increase the railway freight volume was implemented, and the railway department intensified the structural reform of the freight supply side. In 2016, the railway freight volume bottomed out and maintained a sustained growth. In 2020, the national railway freight volume reached 3.58 billion tons, accounting for 9.9% of the total social freight volume from 7.7% in 2016, which made due contributions to winning the battle against pollution, especially the battle to defend the blue sky.

Railway is a typical green means of transportation. In the 13th Five-Year Plan, the railway freight volume increased by 227 million tons year-on-year, which is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 20 million tons compared with the same traffic volume completed by highways. In recent years, the railway’s own energy structure has been continuously adjusted and optimized. At present, the electrification rate of the national railway has reached 74.9%. It is estimated that the railway freight volume will reach 3.7 billion tons in 2021, and the traction workload of electric locomotives will reach 90.5%. The annual fuel consumption of the national railway has dropped from the peak of 5.83 million tons in 1985 to 2.31 million tons, a drop of 60%, which is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 12.56 million tons every year. We will further seize the favorable opportunity of the national transportation structure adjustment, comprehensively optimize the layout of railway freight according to the target requirements of central peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality, make good use of the capacity of freight corridors such as Daqin, Haoji, Tanghu and Wari, promote the special railway lines to enter the port, mine and logistics park, and further stabilize the volume of bulk cargo. At the same time, vigorously develop container multimodal transport, solve the problems of long running time and uncertain delivery time of freight trains, continuously improve the competitiveness of railway freight market, and strive to expand the railway market share.

Deepen the independent innovation of high-speed rail

Lu Dongfu introduced that in January this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that high-speed rail was a successful example of independent innovation in China, which fully proved the remarkable advantages of the national system. The general secretary asked us to sum up our experience seriously, continue to improve it and strive for greater development in the 14 th Five-Year Plan. The important instructions of the General Secretary provide us with a fundamental follow-up to further promote the independent innovation of high-speed rail and give great encouragement and spur to the cadres and workers in the whole industry.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, China’s railway independent innovation has made great achievements, and its overall technical level has entered the world’s advanced ranks. High-speed, plateau, cold and heavy-haul railway technology has reached the world’s leading level, and intelligent high-speed rail technology has achieved full autonomy. In particular, Fuxing EMU has shown excellent performance in terms of safety, economy, energy saving and environmental protection, and is well received by the market and the majority of passengers. The passenger load factor is 0.7 percentage points higher than the average passenger load factor of EMU. At present, Fuxing serial EMU has been formed, covering the speed classes of 160 km/h to 350 km/h..

To implement the spirit of the important instructions of the General Secretary and deepen the independent innovation of Fuxing high-speed train, several key tasks are currently being organized:

First, before July 1st, this year, the centralized EMU with dual power sources in Fuxing Plateau will be driven into Xizang and Lhasa to achieve full coverage in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). In order to meet the operation needs of Lalin Railway, we independently developed the Fuxing Plateau dual-power centralized EMU, and integrated the high-power internal combustion and electric power systems on the EMU, which can adapt to various complex operating environments such as high altitude, western mountainous areas and multiple tunnels. Many of these technologies are at the international leading level, and some have filled the gaps in the world railway technology.

Second, before July 1 this year, a number of Fuxing intelligent EMUs will be launched in Beijing-Shanghai, Jingha, Beijing-Guangzhou, Chengdu-Chongqing and other high-speed railways to expand the scope of operation experience and let more people enjoy a higher quality travel life. Fuxing intelligent EMU, independently developed by China, was put into operation in Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway in December 2019, which was favored by the majority of passengers. This type of EMU has the characteristics of intelligent driving, intelligent service, intelligent operation and maintenance, and the energy consumption and noise in train operation have also been further improved.

The third is to start the "CR450 Science and Technology Innovation Project". In order to fully release the dividend of the developed high-speed rail network, based on scientific analysis and grasping the road conditions, we plan to develop a new generation of new products of Fuxing EMU with higher speed, safer, more environmentally friendly, more energy-saving and more intelligent, mainly through the comprehensive upgrading of the mobile equipment technology of high-speed rail based on the infrastructure conditions of high-speed rail with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, so as to realize the higher commercial operation speed of high-speed rail in China and continuously consolidate the leading edge of high-speed rail in China.

Resolutely hold the political red line and professional bottom line of the railway

Lu Dongfu introduced that railway transportation safety has always been widely concerned by all walks of life, and railway departments have always regarded it as the political red line and professional bottom line of railway work. In recent years, railway transportation safety has remained generally stable through strengthening the foundation to meet the standards, being strict and pragmatic, comprehensively managing, and improving the "trinity" safety guarantee system of civil air defense, physical defense and technical defense. In particular, the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary was implemented, and the railway safety environment was comprehensively rectified, eliminating a large number of environmental safety hazards. Last year, equipment failures caused by environmental problems decreased by 34% year-on-year. At present, 20 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have formulated and promulgated railway safety laws and regulations, which provide legal protection for strengthening railway safety.

Lu Dongfu said that with the continuous expansion of the scale of the railway network and the continuous extension of the high-speed rail operation cycle, ensuring railway safety is facing increasing pressure and challenges. China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. will carry out the requirements of overall development and safety, and comprehensively implement safety measures to ensure railway safety, especially the safety of high-speed rail and passenger trains.

Continue to consolidate the achievements of railway safety and environmental governance. Thoroughly implement the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, further improve the coordination and linkage mechanism with local governments and railway police authorities, strictly implement the measures for the safety management of railway external environment, strengthen road safety management, and achieve the environmental improvement goals of high-speed rail and general railway.

In-depth exploration and grasp the law of high-speed rail operation. Seriously sum up the practice of high-speed rail operation, use big data technology to study the failure mechanism and change law of high-speed rail equipment, strengthen the health management of equipment throughout the life cycle, establish and improve the technical standard system and maintenance procedures of high-speed rail that are more in line with China’s national conditions and road conditions, and continuously improve the safety and security level of high-speed rail and passenger trains.

Comprehensively strengthen basic infrastructure construction at the grass-roots level. With safety, quality and benefit as the core, we will deepen the standardization of transportation stations and sections, strictly manage the safety red line and assess the accountability for safety performance, promote the comprehensive strengthening of the quality foundation of equipment and facilities, and dynamically meet the standards of cadres and workers’ ability and quality, so as to truly establish railway safety on a solid foundation.

　 　 　 　 　 Six counties in Northern Ireland remained in Britain because of years of immigration, when Protestants accounted for the majority of the population in Northern Ireland. Protestants don’t want to leave England, so they are also called royalists or unionists; Indigenous Catholics, on the other hand, hope to be unified with the south, so they are also called Republicans or nationalists. The conflict between the two factions has been constant, but it has not reached the point of white-hot later. Although defense diplomacy is still dominated by London, the Northern Ireland House is still relatively autonomous. For decades, the Northern Ireland House has been controlled by The Ulster Unionist Party——UUP), which marginalized Catholics from employment, education, medical care and health care. Catholics are discriminated second-class citizens.

　　　　　　　　Where there is oppression, there is resistance. The civil rights movement that began in the United States in the 1960s spread to Northern Ireland, and Northern Ireland Catholics took to the streets to demand more political rights, social supply and cultural recognition, but these were resisted by Protestants. In October 1968, the demonstrations demanding civil rights quickly turned into violent conflicts, and the police controlled by royalists were extremely heavy, and various contradictions also intensified rapidly. The royalists and Republicans were at loggerheads. This is the beginning of the "Troubles" defined in the history books.

Confrontation: 3,600 British troops were killed and 50,000 wounded.

　　　　　　　　Seeing that the Irish Parliament could not control the situation, the London government sent troops to Northern Ireland to maintain order in 1969. Although the British army set foot on the land of Northern Ireland, most ordinary people could accept it, but a small number of extreme Republicans were quite disgusted. The civil rights demand that should have been reformed within Northern Ireland quickly rose to the movement of separation from Britain and reunification with the south. In the same year, some extremists in the Irish Republican Army separated and established the Provisional Irish Republican Army, which is also known as IRA. They began to directly attack the British army and announced that they would carry out a "protracted war" against Britain and the royalists.

　 　 　 　 　 The British government took a tough approach to IRA at first. In 1971, they announced internment’s policy that they could be detained without trial, and more than 2,000 people were arrested. On January 30, 1972, 10,000 people staged a demonstration demanding civil rights in Delhi, London, Northern Ireland. The procession clashed with British troops maintaining order, and soldiers shot and killed 13 people and injured 13 others. This was "Bloody Sunday". The hatred of all parties intensified, and the London government decided to cancel the completely paralyzed Northern Ireland House, take the management power back to the central government in an all-round way, and set up a full-time Secretary-General for Northern Ireland to manage it.

　　　　　　　　Instead of killing IRA, the British government’s tough measures made it stronger and more morale. Young Catholics actively participated in IRA. They were financially supported by Irish immigrants from the United States, with better weapons and more professional means. Car bombs and plastic bombs were used, and shooting was more common, and the death toll soared.

　　　　　　　　For example, in July 1972 alone, there were nineteen explosions in Belfast. IRA has also extended its military activities originally limited to Northern Ireland to Britain and Europe, making people in Britain fearful. To give a few examples, in February 1972, the Aldershot bombing in Britain killed seven people. In September 1973, London’s King’s Cross and Euston railway stations were bombed, and 21 people were injured; In February 1974, a bus exploded on the expressway, killing 12 people; In June 1974, the British House of Representatives exploded, causing extensive damage to the House building and injuring eleven people. In October 1974, Guildford Bar exploded, killing five people and injuring 44 others. In November, 1974, the Birmingham Bar exploded, killing 21 people and injuring 182 others.

　　　　　　　　When people talk about the conflict in Northern Ireland, they always think that IRA is the culprit, but it is not entirely true. Royalists are not soft either. They have set up armed forces one after another, such as UDA(Ulster Defence Association) and UFF(Ulster Freedom Fighter), which were established in September 1971. They imported guns and ammunition from South Africa, attacked Catholic residential areas and bombed bars and public places where Catholics gathered, in the same way as IRA.

　　　　　　　　Therefore, the 30-year "Troubles" in Northern Ireland was a civil war between Republicans and royalists. The police and British troops tried to maintain peace in the war, and sometimes they went off accidentally, hurting innocent people. Republicans also accused the police of conspiring with British troops and royalists’ armed groups. Hatred is growing, society is more isolated, and the economy is paralyzed.

Which one should I see for electric supercar? ROBO X, the most spectacular booth at Guangzhou Auto Show 2024, is a feast for the eyes! As the world’s first AI intelligent driving supercar, Extreme ROBO X ushered in the launch of the auto show, and the extreme version of 07 Passion and the extreme version of 01 Huan were exhibited on the same stage.

Disclaimer: The list only ranks the price of new cars. So we don’t count auction cars like Ferrari 250 GTO, or overpriced used cars. But don’t worry, there are hundreds of millions of cars here to satisfy your appetite.

Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 is a mid-engine hybrid sports car.

The car was unveiled on August 14, 2021. It is a replica of Countach launched 50 years ago. In terms of power, it is a hybrid powertrain based on Sián FKP 37.

Now Countach LPI 800-4 has been delivered, and it is also a series that you can’t come if you like, because its limited number of 112 units was sold out in less than a week.

If you have heard the name Gordon Murray, you must be a die-hard fan of McLaren, because he is the man behind McLaren F1 design.

Now, Mr. Murray has also jumped out to start a business, and the handsome T.50 is equivalent to the crown jewel of his company. At the same time, you can also see a lot of McLaren F1 shadows on this car, such as the most obvious three-seat layout.

T.50 costs $3 million. Its biggest selling point is that its naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V12 weighs only 392 pounds. It is the lightest V12 engine on the road today and can output 654 horsepower.

In September, 2020, aston martin released the Victor based on the One-77, which was designed by Kaize "Ken" Zheng, the designer of Aston Martin Lagunda, and was unveiled at Hampton Stadium in 2020.

It has an engine similar to the V12 of the One-77. After being modified by Coworth Company, it can now produce 836 bhp and 606 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the One-77, it has a manual gearbox, which makes it the most powerful Aston Martin equipped with a manual gearbox, and it also makes its price reach 3 million US dollars.

Koenigsegg Jesko is the fastest and most expensive car made by Koenigsegg so far. At the same time, the name Jesko is a tribute to Jesko von Koenigsegg, the father of the founder of the company.

This performance ghost, which sells for $3 million, burns E85 biofuel. Its twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 engine can output 1,600 horsepower, and its top speed can reach 300 miles per hour.

A few years ago, it also landed on Top Gear in Hong Kong, and the title of the magazine was Sweden’s madness. You can imagine how crazy this car is.

This sports car is a track version jointly developed by aston martin and F1 Red Bull Racing Team, and because it can legally go on the road, it has won the title of the fastest street legal car in the world. As the first ultimate sports car in aston martin, Valkyrie produced only 150 cars.

Valkyrie Valkyria was originally code-named Nebula, which is an acronym for Neway, Red Bull and aston martin. However, the name AM-RB 001 was chosen as the original code name, because AM stands for aston martin and RB stands for Red Bull, and 001 may mean that it is the first production car that they cooperated with.

It was not until March 2017 that aston martin named this car Valkyrie after the Nordic mythical figures. According to Red Bull, the name was chosen to continue the tradition of naming aston martin cars as "V" and to define vehicles as high-performance cars.

With the endorsement of Neway God and F1 Red Bull Racing Team, this Valkyrie Valkyria was sold out before it even went on the market. But for how much it costs, aston martin has not officially released the pricing. It is estimated that the price of this super sports car may go to $3.25 million.

In terms of power, the car is equipped with a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine customized by Coworth, which can generate about 1,000 horsepower at 10,500 rpm. This will make it the most powerful naturally aspirated engine ever installed on a production car.

This Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport, with a starting price of $3.6 million, is a special version of Chiron launched by Bugatti at the Geneva Motor Show, with a limited number of 60 vehicles worldwide. Compared with the ordinary version of Chiron, it improves aerodynamics, weight loss and power distribution.

In terms of power, after being equipped with the same 8.0-liter four-turbocharged W16 engine as the ordinary Chiron, it readjusted its gearbox, and now 80% of the gearbox has been modified to be closer to the gear ratio distribution of 15%, which has increased its speed red line by 200 revolutions. The red line has also increased to 6900 rpm.

At the same time, Pur Sport also has a more aerodynamic front panel and a larger tail.

Lykan HyperSport is the first self-designed limited-edition sports car in Lebanon, although its body, chassis and engine are all produced in Germany and assembled in Italy.

If you feel a little familiar with this car, please don’t doubt yourself. This is the car you saw flying down from Dubai Tower in Speed and furious 7.

One of the reasons why it is so expensive is that it used 420 15-carat diamonds to embed its titanium alloy LED headlights. There is also a twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter six-cylinder engine that can generate 780 horsepower and 960 Nm of torque under its hood.

Sián was released on September 3, 2019. The name Sián comes from Bologna, which means lightning. Although it was developed based on Daniel SVJ, it is the first hybrid production car produced by Lamborghini.

In addition to the 6.5-liter V12 engine from Daniel SVJ, Sian also uses a 48-volt light hybrid system. The total output is 819 horsepower, which makes it the most powerful Lamborghini ever.

Finally, just like the 63 stickers printed on both sides of Sian’s tail, Lamborghini will only produce 63 Sians, and finally its price per unit will be set at 3.7 million US dollars, which makes its price per unit much higher than that of Daniel SVJ.

Huayra Roadster BC was launched in July 2019 and is a convertible version of Huarya BC. It has the same aerodynamic package as BC, but it is equipped with a new 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, which provides this sports car with 50 more horsepower than Huarya BC.

In addition to the joy of hearing the wonderful engine sound without the roof, the owner who bought it should also be gratified by the limited number of 40 cars in the world. Because it is priced at $4 million each, it is an absolute wealth management product.

Lamborghini Veneno is a high-performance limited-edition sports car developed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lamborghini. Lamborghini only manufactured 14 Veneno between 2014 and 2015. The cost of each car was about $4 million, making it one of the most expensive production cars in the world at that time.

In terms of power, Veneno installed a more powerful iterative version than Daniel’s 6.5-liter V12 engine, and now it can produce 740 horsepower and 609 Nm of torque, and the 100-kilometer acceleration performance has also increased to 2.9 seconds. To this day, it is also the most expensive Lamborghini ever.

Simply put, this car is a convertible version of the spicy method. Shortly after the debut of La Fa, Ferrari unveiled the Aperta model, a $4.5 million cool convertible with the same 950 HP hybrid V12 engine as the first edition of La Fa. The difference is that the limited edition of 200 sets was sold out immediately after it went on the market, while the spicy method was sold out for about 2 years.

Bugatti Bolide is a sports car focusing on track day, which was developed and manufactured by Bugatti Automobiles SAS and Bugatti Engineering GmbH in Wolfsburg. Bolide’s name comes from the word le bolide, which means "racing" in French.

The price of this 1824 horsepower supercar is as high as $4,713,600. At the same time, Bugatti also announced that Bolide will be the last car made with W16 engine. It has more power than Chiron Super Sport 300+, and its body is more extreme. And according to Bugatti, Bolide can run a lap of newberg Forest Circuit in 5 minutes and 23 seconds, which is only 4 seconds slower than the current record holder.

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is a special edition Chiron produced to celebrate Chiron who broke the speed record of 300 miles per hour some time ago. Compared with the standard Chiron, its changes include a more powerful engine, higher speed and a carbon fiber body with orange stripes.

The output of Super Sport 300+ is limited to 30 vehicles. Although it has the speed label of 300+ in its name, Bugatti also uses a speed limiter to limit its maximum speed to 277 mph. But without a limiter, Bugatti claims that the car’s top speed can exceed 483 kilometers per hour.

Bugatti Divo was named after the French racer Albert Divo, who once competed for Bugatti in 1920 and won Targa Florio twice.

Although it looks like the cheaper standard Chiron, Divo has many places to justify the extra money. For example, it is 77 pounds lighter than Chiron by adding lighter wheels and carbon fiber intercoolers.

Although the power has not changed compared with Chiron’s 1500 horsepower, Divo adopts different aerodynamic settings, which makes it 8 seconds faster on the Nardo test track. Bugatti is making 40 Bugatti Divo, each worth $5.8 million.

Finally, we saw the works of "Small Workshop" again, but this SP Automotive Chaos is not simple. It is the first Ultra Car in the world, with a horsepower of 3,065 horses. It only takes 1.55 seconds to break 100, and the top speed can reach 500 kilometers per hour! The key point is that its appearance has directly set new records in the world, and even the car has been defeated!

Finally, this Chaos, which was built by SP Automotive in Greece, was limited to 20 vehicles worldwide, and the price also went to 6.4 million US dollars.

Unlike the supercar at the top of the list, this Exelero, which was launched by Mercedes Maibakh in 2005, entered the list as a luxury coupe. The particularity of this car is that it has only one car in the world, and it was born because it was originally made by Goodyear’s German subsidiary Fulda to test tires.

Maibakh Exelero was sold for $8 million at that time. Supporting such an expensive price also meant that it had powerful performance, so it was equipped with a V12 twin-turbo engine under the hood, with a maximum horsepower of 690 horsepower and a top speed of 351.45 kilometers per hour.

According to Top Gear, this car was bought by rapper Birdman for $8 million in 2011.

Now, this car belongs to Mechatronik (a company specializing in the repair and sales of classic cars in Meiben). With inflation and the scarcity of only one car in the world, it is now estimated that its value has exceeded $10 million.

Two years ago, Bugatti launched a limited edition of 10 Centodieci at the Pebble Beach Auto Show, with a price of 9 million US dollars. This car is a tribute to Bugatti EB110 and also to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the birth of Bugatti brand.

The biggest feature of this car is its appearance. For example, this pony-hoofed radiator grille, which is very similar to EB110, and the flat headlights that extend to the sharp groove at the end of the hood are very sharp.

The rear of the car is composed of two unique in-line double-outlet tailpipes and horizontal dynamic taillights, which presents an impressive visual appearance.

Sweptail is the only limited-edition car in the world based on the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe, which took four years to build by hand, and the estimated price is 12.8 million US dollars. This was the most expensive new car in the world at that time, and it was not until 2019 that it was surpassed by the $18 million Bugatti La Voiture Noire.

Since it is a Rolls-Royce, the luxury of its interior is naturally full, and it uses high-grade wood and various glass ornaments.

At the same time, there is also a champagne cup/cup holder design that can automatically rise, which is completely made according to the standards of art.

This performance beast debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2019, which took a total of 65,000 working hours to build. In addition to lengthening the wheelbase, it also adopts a brand-new carbon fiber body and black high-gloss car paint.

In addition to the carbon fiber designed by Bugatti designer Etienne Salomé, this car has a slender nose and a slender rear similar to Bugatti Divo in appearance. Other notable features include unique rearview mirrors, LED taillights and wheels, and a "dorsal fin" similar to the Bugatti 57 SC that extends from the front of the car to the rear spoiler.

The power part is equipped with Chiron’s 8.0-liter four-turbocharged W16 engine, which provides a powerful output of up to 1,479 horsepower. Worst of all, this Bugatti La Voiture Noire has reached $18 million after tax, which is comparable to several luxury houses running on the road, and it is by no means a yi pin that ordinary people can play with.

Yes, at present, the most expensive new car in the world is the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail. The first owner of this car is a mysterious man from the United States and his wife. They customized this Rolls-Royce Boat Tail for $28 million, making it the most expensive car in the world. As the name suggests, the Boat Tail, which is about six meters long, is like a luxury yacht that can sail on land.

Of course, the reason why it is so aloof lies in its back. There is a butterfly wing shaped tail box cover that can be opened by pressing a button. At the same time, it is equipped with a special Hosting Suite protocol suite that took nine months to develop.

In this concierge suite, one side is equipped with two refrigerators and cup holders, while the other side can be placed with light snacks and a fan for preservation.

At the same time, a sunshade can be raised in the middle of the two tail box covers, and even two stools that are ordinary but luxurious can be taken out.

In terms of power, the car shares the chassis and engine with Rolls-Royce Phantom, but the difference is that it has 1813 extra customized parts, including five electronic control units on the back deck.

Of course, this is not just a super luxury car. Rolls-Royce said that the launch of Boat Tail represents the future direction of the entire luxury goods industry. It shows collectors the great new possibility of creating unique luxury amusement facilities, in which the body and interior are completely customized according to their personal specifications.

Well, that’s our complete list of the 20 most expensive cars in the world. Have you all guessed?
