Australia has seen its fair share of expensive cars, from the $49 million Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail to the $2.1 million 1982 HDT VH Commodore Group C. But could the Lamborghini Revuelto, the country's most expensive new car, be its priciest yet? With a price tag of AUD$987,000 before on-road costs, it's certainly up there with the most expensive cars in Australia. However, it's hard to say if it takes the top spot, as prices for cars vary and depend on various factors, such as auction sales and additional costs.

What You'll Learn
The 2025 Ferrari SF90 XX Spider
The SF90 XX Spider is the first Ferrari Special Version that draws on the programme's concepts to make it effectively a road-legal XX. It inherits the SFPO Spider’s signature PHEV layout, in which the V8 internal combustion engine is integrated with three electric motors, two independent on the front axle and one located between the engine and gearbox at the rear. This configuration allows the car to unleash a maximum of 1030 cv, setting a new Ferrari performance benchmark. The SF90 XX Spider delivers the most efficient aerodynamic performance of any Ferrari road car, making it comparable only to that of the LaFerrari supercar. It delivers double the maximum downforce of the SF90 Spider, improving grip and yielding a palpably faster lap time.
The SF90 XX Spider’s signature element is its rear fixed wing, which was thoroughly researched, tested and developed on the track-ready XXs. This is an element with enormous aero potential and has been perfectly integrated into the car’s volumes, thanks to close collaboration with the Ferrari Styling Centre. The redesign of the SF90 XX Spider’s soundtrack also brings its racing soul to the fore: to produce an even fuller, richer sound and celebrate the harmonics across the V8’s rev range, the hot tube system was optimised. The 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox that first appeared on the SF90 Stradale and Spider is also present in the SF90 XX Stradale.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom
The Phantom has a rich history, dating back to the classic 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II, which was known for its smooth and quiet ride. The latest generation of the Phantom was released in July 2024 and is available in Australia with a single variant and a variety of body types, including a 4D sedan style.
The 2025 Phantom is offered with a 4-year, unlimited-km warranty and features a powerful null motor that produces 420kW of power and 900Nm of torque. All variants of the new Phantom come with rear-wheel drive, and the fuel consumption is estimated to start from 14.8L/100km for the sedan model.
While the Rolls-Royce Phantom is undoubtedly one of the most expensive cars available in Australia, it is a true expression of luxury and craftsmanship, making it a desirable choice for those seeking the ultimate in automotive refinement.

The Lamborghini Revuelto
While the Kia Picanto Sport may share some of these features, it doesn't have the same level of performance and luxury as the Lamborghini Revuelto. The Stamp Duty costs for the Lamborghini Revuelto in NSW, for example, are $48,450, which is before options and dealer costs.
For those who can afford it, the Lamborghini Revuelto is an ultimate status symbol and a testament to automotive engineering and design.

The Ford Falcon XA GTHO Phase IV
The XA GTHO Phase IV was designed and built by Ford Australia between 1972 and 1973 as a high-performance, limited-production vehicle. It was intended to compete in the Group E Series Production Touring Car racing, specifically targeting the 1972 Hardie-Ferodo 500 at Bathurst. The car featured a powerful V8 engine, producing an estimated 350-375 horsepower, and was designed to be a dominant force on the race track.
However, the XA GTHO Phase IV's career was cut short by the ""Supercar Scare", a national controversy surrounding the development of high-performance Australian sedans. As a result, Ford abandoned the production of the XA GTHO Phase IV, with only one production example ever completed. This particular car, in Calypso Green with a white vinyl interior, was sold through Jack Brabham Ford in NSW and is now owned by a collector in Sydney.
Three additional XA GTHO Phase IV cars were built as race cars by the Ford factory racing team. One of these was sold to NSW rally driver Bruce Hodgson and competed in rallies before being destroyed in a road accident. The remaining two cars have become highly sought-after collectibles, with fans and collectors paying top dollar to acquire them.
Today, the XA GTHO Phase IV is considered one of the rarest and most valuable muscle cars in Australia. With only three of the four cars still in existence, their scarcity and historical significance drive their high value in the classic car market. While exact prices for the XA GTHO Phase IV are not publicly available, the extreme interest and limited supply suggest that it could very well be among Australia's most expensive cars.
