When you’re maybe the best soccer player in the world and have plenty of money as a result, you can’t just a Hellcat and call it good. It would seem that this is most likely the case given Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent of a Bugatti La Voiture Noire.

Its projected $18.9M price tag makes it the priciest brand-new car ever produced. Ronaldo was often mentioned as a potential buyer in rumors, and it finally came out that he really bought it.

The 1,500-horsepower hypercar is still a really stunning vehicle even if it is quite expensive. Each La Voiture Noire is built by Bugatti using a coachbuilding method that was created for the Chiron. Since there is only one car, as we often point out, the price of a vehicle rises significantly.

Ronaldo may really be the person who shows up to a party only to discover that another guy has arrived in the identical car as him. He must worry himself to sleep at night over getting into such a bad predicament with such a well-known athlete. And no, we don’t think he’s feel the least bit sorry for himself.

To go back to the vehicle, various design cues reference the iconic Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic. Among these features, the new car’s exposed central spine could be the most noticeable. Because it’s crucial to keep the past in mind, we always like throwback features in contemporary vehicles. And we like driving aging vehicles.

Since doing so would be humiliating, nobody would mistake this La Voiture Noire for a standard Chiron. The placement of the headlamps on the unique hypercar’s unusual front fascia makes it stand out in particular.

Similar to the Bugatti Chiron, the quad-turbo 16-cylinder engine has been increased to 1,500 horsepower. Six exhaust pipes on the vehicle help to further accentuate how unique it is. The French appear to think that an automobile’s price or speed will rise in direct proportion to the number of tailpipes it has.
