Another year has passed, and with that came another year of car sales at exorbitant prices. Popular online automotive auction site Bring A Trailer, for example, saw many of such sales, so we thought we’d run through the most expensive sold for the most popular vehicle types.
For the most expensive cars, only four automakers’ vehicles comprised the top 10, and to not much of a shock, those marques were Ferrari, Bugatti, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche. Of those 10, Porsche occupied 4 spots, Ferrari occupied 3, Mercedes occupied 2, and Bugatti laid claim to 1.
In order, the top 10 most expensive cars sold were a Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta for $5,360,000, a Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport for $3,800,000, a Euro-Spec Ferrari F50 for $3,305,000, a Mercedes-Benz 680 S Sport/4 for $2,800,000, a Mercedes-Benz 770K Four-Door Cabriolet by Voll & Ruhrbeck for $2,555,555, a Ferrari F40 for $2,440,444, a Porsche 959 Komfort for $2,120,000, a Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Edition for $2,025,000, a Porsche Carrera GT for $2,000,000, and another Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Edition for $1,975,000.

Unsurprisingly, the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 was the most expensive EV to sell in 2022 for $275,000, seeing as how popular the truck is and how expensive its base MSRP is to begin with. Perhaps a bit more surprising, though, is that Hummer EVs accounted for 7 of the top 10 most expensive EV sales this year, the other three being a Tesla Roadster Signature 100 Edition for $212,071 at number 5, a Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo for $202,000 at number 7, and a Tesla Roadster 2.5 Sport for $190,000 at number 9.

A similar monopoly was held by the Mercedes G-Wagen for the most expensive truck/utility vehicle of the year, occupying not only 6 of the top 10 spots, but the top 6 of those 10 spots. That being said, they weren’t all the same model like the Hummers were. In order, the list goes: Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 Brabus B63S-700 for $1,170,000, Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet for $940,000, Mercedes-AMG G63 6×6 Conversion for $696,969, Euro-Spec Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet for $350,000, Mercedes-AMG G63 Brabus G700 Widestar Adventure for $344,000, Mercedes-AMG G65 Final Edition for $302,355, Supercharged 5.7L Hemi–Powered 1964 Dodge W200 Power Wagon for $282,000, GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 for $275,000 (the same one that topped the EV list), Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 by FJ Company for $270,000, and modified Hummer H1 Alpha for $267,000.
