About This Quiz

For most of us, a regular run-of-the-mill car is all we can expect to drive during our lifetime. You know, a mainstream model that gets us from A to B, is relatively fuel efficient and offers mind-numbingly boring numbers when it comes to performance.

For those with cash to burn so to speak, cars with a little more pedigree, that offer a little bit more excitement and are infinitely better to look at are far, far more expensive.

While most of us can only drool over these hypercars or vintage classics, other get to feel the exhilaration of driving in one.  So in this quiz, we want to test your knowledge about some of the most expensive cars in the world. Some cost a pretty penny straight out the box. These are mostly the hypercars that belong to many well-known brands as well as some young and upcoming upstarts, shall we say.

Others in our quiz are vintage classics from a bygone era that may not offer the performance of a hypercar but come with bucket loads of prestige and class.

So put on your thinking cap or perhaps your racing helmet. One image is all you will see to base your answer on.

Good luck!
