Cristiano Ronaldo Buys World's Most Expensive Car

Bugatti made headlines at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show back in March when itunveiled the La Voiture Noire。耗资1800万美元,男孩儿一次性拴ti is the most expensive new car ever made. While reports before the car's debut claimed it was bought by former VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piech, the owner of the La Voiture Noire is being kept a closely guarded secret by Bugatti.

However, a new report by Spanish publicationMarcaclaims that Cristiano Ronaldo is the secret owner of the Bugatti La Voiture Noire. If true, the soccer star will have to wait until around 2021 to drive it, because Bugatti's one-off masterpiece is far from finished.

Bugatticonfirmed to us that the car shown at Geneva was a prototypewith no engine or interior and that work won't be completed for another 18-24 months. Work on the prototype began around a half a year ago when the owner agreed on a design proposal.

Built as a modern interpretation of the iconic Type 57 SC Atlantic, the Bugatti La Voiture Noire features a bespoke carbon fiber body with an extended front end, bumpers that smoothly integrate into the body and a windshield that appears to smoothly flow into the windows at the sides like the visor on a helmet. Like the Chiron, power is provided by a 8.0-liter, 16-cylinder quad-turbo engine producing 1,479 hp and 1,180 lb-ft of torque.
