These unicorns of the supercar world are so exclusive no amount of money can buy them

You’d expect the richest people in the world to be able to buy whatever supercar they want, right?

Sometimes, wealth isn’t enough.

There are a few unicorns of the supercar world that are so rare that they’re impossible to get your hands on, no matter how deep your pockets are.

From the McLaren X-1 to the Lamborghini SC18 Alston, here are some of the most covetable cars in the world.

Aston Martin Victor: a one-off hypercar

The 2020 Aston Martin Victor has an unlikely origin story, with an engine that came from a One-77 prototype that debuted over a decade ago.

Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 7.3-liter V12 which cranks out 836 horsepower.

Its six-speed manual gearbox makes it the most powerful manual-equipped Aston Martin ever made.

The Victor has an aggressive front end and muscular stance, while its rear gives a racing silhouette.

Only one was ever produced and its owner remains a mystery.

The price tag is just as mysterious, but safe to say it cost millions.

Ferrari’s ultra-rare supercar

Created by Ferrari’s Special Projects division, this one-off takes inspiration from the iconic 1957 250 Testa Rossa.

It’s built with the standard F12berlinetta engine, a powerful 6.3-liter V12 which generates 740 horsepower.

The roar of this track day beauty is amplified by its open cockpit.

F12 TRS’s design pays homage to Ferrari’s racing roots, with a streamlined silhouette, custom carbon fiber elements, and an aggressive front.

It’s incredibly exclusive, with only two ever built, and both owned by the same mystery person.

If they ever want to sell them, they’ll need Ferrari’s permission first.

Lamborghini’s custom-built supercar

The Lamborghini SC18 Alston was designed by the Squadra Corse division for a highly specific anonymous customer.

It’s road-legal but track-focused, powered by a 6.5-liter V12, similar to the Aventador SVJ, that churns out 770 horsepower.

The Alston can race to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, helped out by its massive rear wing, the same front air intakes as the Huracan GT3 EVO, and rear diffuser.

Every inch has been customized to the owner’s racing-focused tastes, from the bucket seats to the carbon fiber body.

It’s estimated this set the mystery customer back $7 million.

Maybach’s concept coupe

The Maybach Excelero is a one-off concept coupe, first spotted in 2005.

Rather than a custom build for a wealthy client, this was a collaboration between Maybach and a Goodyear-owned tire company.

It was made to flex the company’s new high-speed tires, and ended up being a rare piece of automotive history.

The body is based on the Maybach 57 sedan and its built on the same platform.

Its unusually long hood carries a 6.0-liter V12 that produces just under 700 horsepower.

The car’s specs were especially notable back in 2005, able to reach 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 218 mph.

It’s been rumored that Jay-Z is the lucky owner of this $8 million one-off.

McLaren X-1: the concept

McLaren Special Operations was commissioned by—yes, you guessed it—an anonymous customer to make the McLaren X-1.

While its design is futuristic, the heart of the car is classic McLaren, featuring a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine capable of 616 horsepower.

It can race to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, aided by its aerodynamic design and lightweight carbon-fiber frame.

It was unveiled to mixed reviews, with some unsure about the car’s combination of elegant and modern design.

No doubt the owner, who spent $7 million customizing each aspect of it, couldn’t care less.
