Bugatti La Voiture Noire: The Most Expensive New Car Ever
The Bugatti La Voiture Noire is a one-off hypercar that was unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. It is a tribute to the legendary Type 57 SC Atlantic, a car that was built in the 1930s and is considered one of the most beautiful and valuable cars in the world.
What Makes It So Special?
The La Voiture Noire features a stunning design with a long, flowing bodywork, aggressive front end, and a powerful engine. It is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine that produces 1,500 horsepower and 1,600 Nm of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds.
The Price Tag: A Shocking Number
The La Voiture Noire is the most expensive new car ever, with a price tag of 18.9 million euros (approximately $20 million USD). This price makes it more expensive than the $19 million Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, the previous holder of this title.
Who Bought It?
The identity of the buyer remains a mystery, but some believe it to be Ferdinand Piech, the former CEO of Volkswagen who is a known collector of rare and expensive cars.
A Legacy of Luxury
The La Voiture Noire is a testament to Bugatti's dedication to building some of the most exclusive and luxurious cars in the world. The car is a true masterpiece of engineering and design, and its price reflects its rarity and value.
