The Guinness world record for the Most expensive car (vintage) was set by the vintage 1963 Ferrari 250 GT, sold to Chris Evans (UK), for $17,275,000 million.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most expensive car license plate
- made up of the single digit, '1' - was sold to Saeed Abdul Ghaffar Khouri (UAE) for Dh52.2 million ($14.2m, £7.2m).
The Super Sport is capable of 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds, 0-124mph in 6.7 seconds and the ability to cover one mile in just 23.6 seconds.
These stunning figures come courtesy of the car's quad-turbocharged eight litre engine, which develops a colossal 1,200bhp - 200bhp more than a standard Veyron.
It is the most expensive new car to ever be advertised, with the lucky owner parting with 2.1 million pounds. But with the eye-watering price-tag comes unbeatable performance.
The Super Sport is capable of 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds, 0-124 mph in 6.7 seconds and the ability to cover one mile in just 23.6 seconds, the Mail said.
