CAIRO, Mar .6. (SEE) – Hyper sports car ''La Voiture Noire'' is one of four Type 57 SC Atlantics built between 1936 and 1938, it was owned by Jean Bugatti, the son of designer Ettore. At the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday, French luxury car maker Bugatti announced a car that sold for €11 million, making it the most expensive new car ever.
The version wears a new set of carbon fibre clothes with far more aggressive, sharp edged styling than that seen on the standard Chiron, although the 1,500hp V16 engine is more or less the same.
''Stephan Winkelmann'' president of Bugatti, reported that the true form of luxury is inpiduality, ''La Voiture Noire'' is now at the cutting edge of automobile production. With ‘La Voiture Noire’, we are paying homage to our heritage and bringing speed, technology, luxury and aesthetics forward to a new era.
The new car has the same nearly 1,500 horsepower 16 cylinder engine as the $3 million Bugatti Chiron on which it is based.
Bugatti plans to produce a total of only 500 Chirons and just 40 Divos in a process that can take up to two months for each car.
It is also easy to drive on normal roads, just like the Type 57 cars were as well as it's also hard to create a car that can safely go over 250 miles an hour, but that still looks beautiful when parked.
Bugatti built in 2005 by Volkswagen Group, the Bugatti headquarters in the town of Molsheim stands on land that was Ettore Bugatti's in the early 1900s.
This week at the Geneva Motor Show, Bugatti is also is unveiled a special edition of the Chiron, ''110 ans Bugatti''. Twenty have been manufactured and they’ve all sold for a net price of €3 million.
