Bugatti La Voiture Noire, the most expensive combination of classic and modern in the world
One of the owners of this luxury vehicle is Al-Nassr club star, Cristiano Ronaldo. This car, which is only produced in 10 units worldwide, is priced at US $ 18 million or Rp. 289 billion.
The engine is a W16 8.10-liter quad-turbo capable of producing 1,500 hp and can accelerate from 0-100 km per hour in just 2.4 seconds. This car can go up to 420 km per hour.
The 2019 Bugatti La Voiture Noire is a limited edition supercar developed based on the Bugatti Chiron. Launched at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, this car joins the Bugatti Divo as a derivative of the already famous Chiron supercar.
An elegant design that combines classic and modern Bugatti looks in one car
Nice power to walk around at high speed
A very exclusive car with only one unit produced
Introduced for Bugatti's 110th anniversary, the car's history goes back even further 90 years before the special version was introduced. The 2019 Bugatti La Voiture Noire is a modern re-interpretation of the Type 57 SC Atlantic and was first produced in 1930. This car was only made as a single unit and sold for over $ 12 million (more than Rp. 177 billion). The price doesn't even include tax. Making it the most expensive car sold worldwide.
Unlike the Bugatti Divo which will be produced as 40 units, the La Voiture Noire will remain unique. This vehicle was created specifically for Bugatti fans who were “fascinated by the Atlantic”, the coupé of which was previously described. Despite the unique bodywork and detailing, the car still has standard Chiron accents under the hood, so its performance is similar to the vehicle it's based on.
Even though this car will only be produced 2 years from now, it has already been sold by “Bugatti fanatics”, as Bugatti explains. Rumors are circulating that the anonymous buyer of this rare car is former Volkswagen boss, Ferdinand Piech, the person who brought Bugatti into the VW Group in 1998 and championed the brand's super luxury W-16 engine.
Similar to the T57 Atlantic which was the inspiration for this car, La Voiture Noire uses aviation or aerospace techniques in its design and construction. The most recognizable feature of the T57 is the aerodynamic blade that forms part of its back. And despite being associated with the Chiron, the exterior of the 2019 Bugatti La Voiture Noire gets a high level of sculpture.
Seen from the front, the car looks more tempting and 'less frightening' when compared to the Chiron. Bugatti designer, Etienne Salomé, said that the headlights of this car were made more expressive than its siblings. The front fender that adorns the front exterior of the 2019 Bugatti La Voiture Noire is also made to feature a large grille to absorb as much air as possible to help produce the power this car needs. And the frightening appearance from the front makes this car worth the high price tag from Bugatti
Just like high-speed vehicles in general, the side exterior of the Bugatti La Voiture Noire 2019 looks to provide a graceful and curved design to accentuate the vehicle's aerodynamics. What differentiates this car from other hypercars is the rim design which looks threatening. Of course, for a car that can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2 seconds, the wheels also need high and strong aerodynamics to drive at high speeds.
At the stern, you can see the taillights which divide the rear view like a McLaren P1 style grille with the Bugatti logo and name right in the middle. Look back at the six exhaust pipes on the rear exterior of the 2019 Bugatti La Voiture Noire, inspired by the original Atlantic T57 to exhaust the exhaust from the 8.0-liter 16-cylinder engine that can put out up to 1,500 horsepower when taking you on city walks.
Interiors of La Voiture Noire 2019
Some time ago, Bugatti told Carscoop that this car needed more than 2 years of development before being produced. Therefore, the interior design of the 2019 Bugatti La Voiture Noire is still in the development stage and has not been completed. Therefore, there are no photos depicting the inside of this car.
When compared to the design of the new Chiron Sport, the black impression is indeed the perfect appearance for the 2019 Bugatti La Voiture Noire dashboard. With various features and technology that can be included in this car, there are two options that Bugatti can provide: provide various buttons to activate in-car features or using a touch screen like most new and sophisticated vehicles.
As we can see, Bugatti has a unique design for the steering wheel. And using the flat-bottom design seen on the Chiron Sport, the 2019 Bugatti La Voiture Noire's steering wheel gets a nice blend of driving elegance and comfortable grip from the soft suede-covered steering wheel. Several buttons can also be used to make it easier to activate features in the vehicle, and don't forget the paddle shift button which is used for high-speed vehicles.
There is nothing that is most suitable for high-speed vehicles other than bucket seats which are used to increase comfort without sacrificing focus while driving. And just like other Bugatti hypercars, the 2019 Bugatti La Voiture Noire chair is predicted to use the same appearance with elegant and comfortable sitting on suede leather.
