Juventus striker Christiano Ronaldo has purchased the most expensive car in the world, Bugatti La Voiture Noire,which costs Ksh 1.3 million.The star purchased the car earlier this year and it was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2019.
The footballer, who makes at least Ksh3.5 billion per year, will be the sole owner of the most expensive car ever built. However, he will be allowed to drive the care for less than 2 years before he surrenders it to the manufacturer for finishing.
La Voiture Noire, meaning “The Black Car,” had already sold for a hefty US$12.3 million before the covers were ripped off, making it the most expensive new car of all time.
“La Voiture Noire is a far more than a modern interpretation of Jean Bugatti’s Type 57 SC Atlantic. It is a feast of aesthetics,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Bugatti President. “The true form of luxury is individuality. ‘La Voiture Noire’ is now at the cutting edge of automobile production.”
La Voiture Noire has an 8-liter engine that produces 1,479 horsepower (1,103 kW) and 1,180 pound-feet (1,600 Nm) of torque from its 16 cylinders. This is the iconic W16 that has been at the heart of Bugatti in recent years, retuned for this special car.
