Bugatti's new $18.7 million supercar was purchased by an anonymous buyer, making it the most expensive new car ever sold
The La Voiture Noire is a one-of-a-kind car with a price tag of $18.7 million. The car's pretax price stands at €11 million, or $12,306,470, according to Bugatti, and the rest of the price comes from taxes.
The supercar can hit top speeds of 260 mph.
It also will have a zero-to-60 time of 2.4 seconds.
Its 16-cylinder, 8-liter, quad-turbo engine will be arranged in "W" pattern. This gives the Batmobile-esque car 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of torque.
The deep-black glossy car has an all-carbon-fiber body, making it extremely light. From a stand-still, it can hit 60 mph in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 261 mph.
The French “La Voiture Noire” fittingly translates to “The Black Car."
La Voiutre Noire pays homage to the Type 57 SC Atlantic of the same name. Details, like the six tailpipes, pay homage.
The original "La Voiture Noire" was Jean Bugatti's most famous creation, according to Bugatti.
The car still needs at least two years to be completed, Bugatti told Motor1. It is not currently fitted with either an interior or the engine. Bugatti started building the car in 2018 after the buyer agreed to the La Voiture Noire proposal.
