Even
with the current recession, Nigerians are known to buy some of the most
exclusive automobile brands in the world, from Bentley to the Rolls-
Royce and Lamborghini to the Bugatti Veyron. They are all on our roads
especially in Lagos and Abuja, however, there are some brand of luxury
vehicles you won’t find on our Nigerian roads. Some may be due to their
exclusivity while others are due to the fact that the technology which
powers their engines are not readily available in Nigeria.
Here are some of the cars you won’t see in Nigeria:
Koenigsegg
: The Swedish super sport car company is well known for their exquisite
pieces of automobile engineering as seen in the CCXR, Agera, Regera or
Koenigsegg One:1.
|
|
Tesla
Models : The American manufacturer built the Model S car and their
recent Model X SUV as full plug in electric vehicles without internal
combustion engines. These vehicles are charged like mobile phones and we
don't even have enough electricity to charge our phones yet.
|
|
W
Motors Lykan Hypersport : You may recall the Lykan Hypersport from its
starring role in the blockbuster Fast & Furious 7, where the Dubai
based supercar crashed through not one, not two, but three skyscrapers
in Abu Dhabi.
|
|
Hennessey
Venom GT : There is a raging argument about which is the fastest
production car in the world…many believe it’s the Bugatti Veyron
Supersport but no, The Texas based Hennessey Venom GT holds the Guinness
book record as the fastest production vehicle in the world with 1200
horsepower. This car has 8 times more power than a 4 cylinder Toyota
Camry "Muscle".
|
|
Pagani
: The Pagani Zonda and Huayra are so limited some eventual owners had
to wait three years to take delivery of the Italian masterpiece.
|
|
Lamborghini
Centenario: Yes there are some models of Lambos here, but some
Lamborghinis are hard to come by anywhere in the world. Three of their
most exclusive models are the Centenario LP, Sesto Elemento (sixth
Element) and the Veneno.

Ferrari
Pininfarina Sergio – Yemi Alade would have to do with the more common
Ferrari, not that any type of Ferrari is common to begin with. The
Ferrari LaFerrari (so good, they had to name it twice) and the tongue
twisting Pininfarina Sergio are rare cars.
|
|
Zenvo
ST1 – Assembled in Denmark, the Zenvo ST1 creates an obscene amount of
power so much the engine caught fire on the Top Gear track. The company
however claimed Top Gear's hours of extreme driving led to the fire.
Nevertheless, this one should just stay away from our roads.
|
|
Mclaren
P1 – The Mclaren brand has roots in racing, so they decided to come up
with a car that feels like a formula 1 car but street legal. Fast is an
understatement, the P1 is a rocket on wheels.
|
|
Bugatti
Chiron – Bugatti Veyron is now old news, although there are also
versions of the Veyron that would be hard to come by…like the Veyron
Vitesse or the Limited Mansory Vivere edition. Cooked by German witch
doctors, the Chiron is not at the dealerships yet, those that have them
in their garage are those that paid for them even before the company
started mass production. Maybe we’ll see one sometime in Nigeria in the
future.

|
Maybach
Exelero - By far the most expensive car on this list. The Exelero was
also built in 2004 with a price tag of $8 million (N3.4 Billion). To see
one on our roads would be a sinful act in fact!
Add yours to the list and tell us if you have seen any of these cars.
