Top Ten Rare Grooves

1. Bugatti VeyronDo you have $1.25 million burning a hole in your pocket? Then why not extinguish it with the quickest, fastest, most expensive production car ever sold. The 16-cylinder, 1001-horse Veyron rips from 0 to 60 in just over 2.0 seconds, maxes out at over 250 mph, and costs the equivalent of five Ferrari 599 GTBs.

2. Dearborn DeuceNone of the Rare Grooves lets the good times roll quite like the Dearborn Deuce, a back-to-the-future interpretation of a 1932 Ford hot rod. Manufactured to contemporary standards by Hot Rods & Horsepower of Connecticut and ASC of Michigan, the Deuce sports a computer-designed body, a commodious cockpit (compared with the original), and a small-block Chevy engine.

3. Fisker TramontoPenned by Danish designer Henrik Fisker-Z8, anyone?-the Tramonto, based on a Mercedes-Benz SL AMG, is a custom-tailored roadster with unique aluminum and carbon-fiber bodywork, a handcrafted cockpit, and up to nearly 700 horsepower. The cost? At least $250,000. C'mon, exclusivity never comes cheap.

4.MercedesSLRMcLarenOvershadowed by the more outlandish Ferrari Enzo and Porsche Carrera GT, the SLR is not to be overlooked. With 617 horses on tap from a supercharged V-8, the $455,750 Benz is fast enough to run 207 mph yet tame enough to run to the mall. Paris Hilton owns one, so you know it can do the latter.

5. Morgan Aero 8With a heritage that traces back nearly 100 years, the English-built Morgan Aero 8 has styling that embraces the past yet technology that welcomes the future, evidenced by a bonded and riveted all-aluminum chassis and a BMW V-8. An available carbon-fiber top makes it a neoclassic alternative to the Caddy XLR-v.

6. Mosler MT900SWarren Mosler despises weight, which is why the 2500-pound MT900S was relegated to a diet of spaceframes and carbon fiber and deprived of extras like power steering. Propelled by a 5.7-liter Z06 V-8, the MT900S has been crash tested and has airbags, so it's street legal. Now don't you go breaking the law!

7. Pagani Zonda FCome 2008, Horacio Pagani promises the exotic Zonda F will make it to the U.S. Cross your fingers-now! With 594 horses galloping from a handbuilt AMG V-12 and an interior that could wear a Prada label, the Italian-made $500,000 Zonda F is a boutique supercar for those who find Enzos and Murcilagos pass.

8. Saleen S7 Twin TurboWhen Jim Carrey played God in 2003's "Bruce Almighty," his supernatural ride was a 550-horsepower S7. Now you, too, can feel like you own the world-or at least the road-with the even mightier 750-horse S7 Twin Turbo, whose 7.0-liter V-8 will blur your corneas as it pushes 144 mph in the quarter.

9. Spyker C8For those who prefer to go Dutch, there's the Spyker C8, a bespoke all-aluminum exotic with an Audi V-8 powerplant, a quilted-leather cockpit, and myriad propeller motifs to signify the company's aviation heritage. Variations include the Spyder (convertible), Laviolette (coupe), and Double 12 S (Le Mans race-car-inspired coupe), each flying you Dutch in utter style.

10. Panoz EsperanteHaling from Georgia, the Ford Mustang-engined Esperante is a peachy alternative to those pricier European exotics already littering valet lines like runway models at a fashion show. With fewer than 100 built per year, the V-8 Esperante-available in base, GT, and supercharged GTLM trims-offers American exceptionality at an "affordable" price.
