When you’re perhaps the best soccer player in the world and have tons of money as a result, you can’t just purchase a Hellcat and call it good. That most definitely appears to be the case given that Cristiano Ronaldo just purchased a Bugatti La Voiture Noire.

With a price tag of roughly $18.9 mιllιon, it is the most expensive new car ever produced. Ronaldo was the main candidate mentioned in rumors about potential buyers, and it turned out that he did buy it.

Yes, we realize that’s an absurd sum of money, but the 1,500-horsepower hypercar is still a very spectacular vehicle. Every La Voiture Noire is built by Bugatti using a coachbuilding methodology based on the Chiron. The fact that there is just one raises the price of a car significantly, as we frequently point out.

Perhaps Ronaldo is actually afraid that he will show up at a party and discover that another man has just pulled up in the same car as him. Being in such awkward circumstance as such a renowned athlete must keep him up at night. And no, we have no sympathy for him whatsoever and don’t think he’s concerned.

To get back to the automobile, many design cues reference the fabled Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic. The new car’s exposed central spine may be the most noticeable of these details. Because it’s crucial to keep the past in mind, we always appreciate throwback features in contemporary vehicles. And we enjoy vintage automobiles.

Nobody will mistake this La Voiture Noire for a standard Chiron, as that would be a humiliating oversight. The unique hypercar has a whole distinct front fascia, notably in terms of how the headlamps are arranged.

Similar to the Bugatti Chiron, the quad-turbo 16-cylinder engine has been tweaked to 1,500 horsepower. Six exhaust pipes are located in the back fascia of the vehicle to further underline its uniqueness. It appears that the French have the belief that the more tailpipes an automobile has, the faster it will go or the more expensive it will be.
