Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly spent £8.5million on a limited edition Bugatti of which only 10 have ever been made. The Juventus superstar, currently on isolation in his native Madeira, is believed to have ordered the luxury Bugatti Centodieci.
Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo already owns a Bugatti Chiron and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse as part of his vintage car collection.
He has ‘CR7’ embroidered on the headrests of his other two Bugattis. This new model is believed to be a tribute to the legendary Bugatti EB110 – Centodieci is Italian for 110.
The Centodieci boasts an 8 litre W16 engine, with special models having 1600hp – some 100hp more than the Chiron and, overall, three times the price of that model.
It can do 0-62mph in just 2.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 236mph.
Bild contacted Bugatti directly and they did not deny that Ronaldo was a buyer, while offering no official comment on the rumour.
Bugatti’s official website describes the Centodiece as “breathtaking”.
“Featuring a modern interpretation of the classic wedge shape and with the iconic W16 engine, the Centodieci transports the EB110 gracefully into a new millennium.
“The ten limited-edition vehicles are distinguished by their perfect elegance and sculptural beauty, making the Centodieci a true, tangible work of art.”
