The Vulcano Titanium is the world's first car made out of, you guessed it, titanium. The supercar is being displayed at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show, and it just might be the most expensive vehicle there. The Vulcano Titanium's creators have given it a price tag of $10 million which makes it one of the most expensive cars on sale today.
Ten million buys you a Corvette-sourced supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 670 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque. Top speed is said to be 220 mph and 0-60 mph flies by in just 2.8 seconds. The Vulcano Titanium's performance capabilities and atypical look (the titanium was purposely left unpainted) make it one of the most unique cars on the market today. Whether that's worth $10 million is another story.
