I’ve never been to Dubai.
I’ve never seen these cars in person.
But somehow, through endless scrolls, late-night searches, dealer posts, and random sightings online, Dubai has slowly become that place in my head. The city where the rarest hypercars in the world don’t feel untouchable. They feel… possible.
This isn’t a list built from firsthand encounters. It’s built from curiosity. From seeing the same names, the same cars, pop up again and again, until I started asking myself: Why Dubai? And the deeper I went, the more it made me want to see all of this with my own eyes someday.
Bugatti Chiron, Centodieci & La Voiture Noire
It always seems to start with Bugatti.
Online, Dubai is where Chirons casually appear in showroom photos like they’re part of the regular inventory. Then you stumble into stories about the Centodieci, limited to just 10 units worldwide, and somehow, Dubai is always in the conversation. And then there’s La Voiture Noire. One of one. A car that feels almost fictional. Officially, it lives elsewhere, but Dubai remains one of the few places where people even dare talk about it seriously.
Fun fact: Bugatti ownership isn’t just about money. You need brand approval and a history with the marque. Dubai just happens to be full of people who qualify.
Koenigsegg Agera RSR
This was the car that made me pause my scrolling.
Only three Agera RSRs were ever made. Just three. And learning that at least one was destined for the Dubai market made something click. Dubai doesn’t just attract rare cars. It attracts the end of the line. The final, no-more-after-this builds.
Fun fact: Koenigsegg owners are often long-time supporters of the brand before they’re ever allowed to buy something this rare.
McLaren Speedtail
The Speedtail feels like it was designed for a city like Dubai.
Every time it pops up online through a premium dealer, it looks less like a car and more like a concept that escaped the auto show floor. A 403 km/h hyper-GT hybrid that prioritizes elegance as much as speed, it somehow fits Dubai’s image perfectly.
Fun fact: The Speedtail has three seats, with the driver positioned in the center. A modern tribute to the legendary McLaren F1.
Ferrari Monza SP1
Ferrari makes sure not everyone gets invited.
The Monza SP1 is part of Ferrari’s Icona series, and learning about the process behind owning one changed how I looked at these cars. To even be considered, Ferrari typically requires ownership of at least five rare Ferraris. It’s not about walking in with money. It’s about history.
Seeing Monzas frequently listed in Dubai-based luxury showrooms made me realize just how deep the collector culture runs there.
Fun fact: No roof. No windshield. Just open air and heritage, exactly how Ferrari wants it experienced.
Aston Martin One-77
This one I didn’t believe at first.
Only 77 units exist worldwide, yet Dubai didn’t just acquire one. It put it into the Dubai Police fleet. Seeing that online was one of those moments that made me laugh and think, Of course it’s Dubai.
Beyond the police spotlight, the One-77 remains one of Aston Martin’s most coveted builds, and the fact that it’s associated with the city just adds to its legend.
Fun fact: Every One-77 was personally approved by Aston Martin before delivery.
The Cars That Sent Me Down the Rabbit Hole
The deeper I went, the more I realized Dubai doesn’t stop at limited editions.
- Pagani Zonda 760 Series
Each one is essentially a 1-of-1, built to the owner’s exact taste. Dubai is one of the few places where multiple Zonda 760s exist within the same ecosystem.
- Lamborghini Veneno Roadster
Only 9 units worldwide, and yet Dubai is one of the cities where it’s surfaced online more than once.
- Highly Customized Bugatti Divo
Not officially 1-of-1, but some Dubai-spec builds are so bespoke they may never be repeated.
I haven’t been to Dubai yet. I haven’t stood next to these cars or heard them start up in real life. But seeing them repeatedly online, learning their stories, and understanding why they end up there has turned curiosity into motivation.
Dubai feels like a place where car dreams gather. And honestly, it’s now on my list. Not just to visit the city, but to finally see if these unreal machines feel as surreal in person as they do on my screen.
