Unveiling The Top 7 Luxury Cars in Dubai
1. Lamborghini Veneno Roadster – AED34.9 million
The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is the open-top version of the famous Lamborghini Veneno. Launched in 2013, the car was specially designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lamborghini. Though based on the Lamborghini Aventador, it looked nothing like it. The Veneno Roadster shocked the world with its bold aerodynamic design, featuring an all-new carbon fiber body and carbon fiber wheels. Characterized by its extraordinary proportions and aggressive design, the car looks like a spaceship on the road.
Lamborghini made only 9 of these V12 monsters for the entire world. The Veneno Roadster was exclusively offered to Lamborghini’s select clientele well before its official launch for AED 16.5 million ($4.5 million). It is reported that clients had to pay deposits without any information about the car. They didn’t even know what the car would look like.
The Veneno Roadster is one of the most sought-after cars, among car collectors around the world. Its design and scarcity have made it revered by car enthusiasts from around the world. Nowadays the Veneno roadster commands almost double or more its original asking price. Most are locked away in private collections and very few are ever seen gracing the public roads. Currently, this triple-black spec Veneno Roadster is the only one available publicly for sale in Dubai. At the time of writing this article, it is the most expensive car on sale in Dubai.
2. Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta - AED24.5 million
Literally named “The Ferrari” the LaFerrari is Ferrari’s halo car and their first ever hybrid car. The LaFerrari was considered to be one of the holy trinities of the car world, competing with the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. All 3 were hybrid hypercars, boasting 900-ish horsepower and were halo cars of their respective brands.
The whole world watched these cars being compared to each other fighting each other at the track and the drag strip. All this hype along with only 499 LaFerrari’s ever being made already made it a highly desirable car. Ferrari then surprised the world by launching an even rarer open-top or ‘Aperta’ version called the LaFerrari Aperta.
Limited to only 299 cars, the LaFerrari Aperta offered all the drama and excitement of the LaFerrari with the added open-top experience. A must-have car for every Ferrari collector and distinguished car collectors around the world, the LaFerrari Aperta is constantly seen trading two to three times its original asking price. This LaFerrari Aperta is currently the most expensive one on sale in Dubai.

3. Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ - AED 23.5 million
The list of the most expensive cars on sale in Dubai would have not been complete without at least one Bugatti. But this isn’t your ‘regular’ Bugatti. The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is a highly capable and super-limited rocket that currently holds the title of the world’s fastest car.
The ‘300+’ in the name represents the fact that the car crossed the 300 Miles per hour barrier achieving a top speed of 490.48 km/h (304.77 mph). The development of the car took almost 2 years to complete. The Chiron Super Sport 300+ features an extended body design with several aerodynamic enhancements resulting in reduced drag and increased downforce helping it achieve the monumental top speed.
Limited to only 30 units the prices for the hypercar started at AED 14.4 million ($3.9 million). Most owners spared no cost when speccing their ultimate Bugatti, with some specs reaching close to AED 18.4 million ($5 million). Currently, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is just a million dirhams short from the LaFerrari making it one of the most expensive cars on sale in Dubai.
4. Pagani Huayra BC - AED 20 million
When people say cars are art, they’re usually imagining a Pagani. Pagani’s are synonymous in the car world with being bespoke works of art with 4 wheels. The Lamborghini janitor turned car designer is responsible for making some of the most beautiful cars in the world.
The Huayra BC is a track-focused version of the Pagani Huayra. The ‘BC’ in the name are the initials of Benny Caiola, the first customer of Pagani and his dear friend. The car featured an aggressive design compared to the rather tamed Huayra. Boasting a tuned version of the famed AMG twin-turbo V12, and limited to only 20 units worldwide, the car was immediately a car collector's dream.
If you were not one of the lucky 20 people who had the chance to buy this beauty, this highly specced one is on the market for AED 20 million.
5. Mercedes AMG Project One - AED 19 million
The newest car on this list, and a car that enthusiasts have been waiting for over 3 years – the Mercedes AMG Project One is a Formula One-inspired track weapon. Now if you're not familiar with the ‘Project One’, unlike most manufacturers who say their car is inspired by Formula One technology, this car has actual F1 parts under the hood.
The Project One has Mercedes’s multiple Grand Prix-winning Formula One engine. The same one with which Lewis Hamilton won the world championship 3 times. The car took very long to develop as Formula One engines are very different to road cars. The Project One is a hybrid hypercar that revs to over 11,000 RPM and gives the closest feeling to driving an actual Formula One car on the streets.
After multiple delays deliveries have finally started around the world. The Mercedes AMG Project One is easily one of the most expensive cars on sale in Dubai.

6. Koenigsegg Regera – AED18 million
The Koenigsegg Regera is not a hypercar, it’s a megacar. With 1800 horsepower, this car can go fast, really fast. Unlike Koenigsegg's other models that focused on handling and track performance, the Regera was meant to offer a luxurious and grand touring alternative.
The Regera was limited to only 85 units and featured a groundbreaking single-gear direct-drive transmission. To simplify that, it means the car only has one gear. How they got that to handle 1800 horsepower is some automotive wizardry.
Initially sold for around AED 9.2 – 11 million ($2.5-3 million), very few examples are available on the market like this one and cost roughly twice what they originally were.
7. Lamborghini Sian Roadster – AED17.5 million
The Sián Roadster marks Lamborghini's pioneering leap into open-top hybrid supercars, heralding a new era of electrification. With its unrivalled V12 engine, boosted by a supercapacitor the Sian Roadster is the most powerful Lamborghini ever made.
Only 19 of these cars exist, pushing the boundaries with the world's first supercapacitor integrated into a materials science application. The name "Sián," derived from a Bolognese term meaning a flash of lightning, underscores its groundbreaking hybrid supercapacitor technology.
The Sian Roadster is an incredibly rare sight even in Dubai making it one of the most expensive cars on sale. With its ultra-limited production run and being the first ‘hybrid’ (kind of) Lamborghini to ever be made, prices for one on the secondary car market have skyrocketed.
As we wrap up our exploration of Dubai's luxury car scene, the city's streets emerge as a captivating showcase of wealth on four wheels. These high-end cars, more than just transportation, showcase the passion and curated taste of car brands and collectors. Each vehicle becomes a statement piece, a testament to a collector's appreciation for craftsmanship, heritage, and the pursuit of automotive excellence.
In Dubai, price tags transcend monetary value to signify a realm where luxury is not just a possession but a statement. These cars are cherished artefacts, each with a unique story and a place in the realm of luxury living.
