A selection of incredibly expensive cars that you are unlikely to see on the roads (10 photos)
Modern cars, as a rule, rely on mass production technologies. Cars have become more affordable in the world. Therefore, they are produced daily in hundreds and thousands of copies. But there are also unique cases that you are unlikely to see on the roads. And they cost simply colossal amounts of money! However, this does not bother rich collectors at all.

Leyat Helica - A Plane Without Wings
Year of Production: 1921
Price: $20 million
This car was not powered by a conventional engine, but rather by a giant propeller similar to those used in airplanes. The lightweight configuration made the Helica dangerously fast, capable of reaching speeds of up to 170 kilometers per hour. As a result, only 30 of these vehicles were sold between 1919 and 1925. Today, the remainder are in the hands of private collectors and are rarely offered for sale.
