Just look at the size of this thing! The Bugatti Type 41 Royale is a 12.7 litre straight 8 yacht of a car weighing in at well over 3 tonnes. With a length that is 20% longer than a modern day Rolls-Royce Phantom and with only 6 made, the Royale is about as luxurious as it gets, and one example formerly held the world record for most expensive car sold at auction, selling for a whopping $9.8m.

It may almost be sacrilegious to say so, but I'd love to hoon around on GT in this emperor of automobiles. :D
 
25 cars were originally planned to be built and sold to European royalty. But even the royals didn't want to buy any due to the Great Depression. Only 3 out of 6 cars made were sold.

Specs:

Length - 6400 mm (252.0 in)
Wheelbase - 4300 mm (169.2913 in)
Weight - 3,175 kg (7,000 lb)
Layout - FR
