Russian mogul Roman Abramovich has an impressive collection of cars. He recently put his steel horses on display at the famous Nürburgring racetrack, which is owned by his former partner and friend, Russian billionaire Viktor Kharitonin. Experts estimate that the value of the fleet of the owner of the football club Chelsea FC is over 10 million euros!
The Bugatti Chiron is the fastest car in the world, as it can drive down the road at more than 450 km/h (the speed is otherwise electronically limited at 420 km/h), driven by as much as 1,500 horsepower. Only 500 examples will be produced, and its first customer was none other than boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather, for whom the base price of the Bugatti Chiron was 2.4 million euros, a real spit in the sea. The French boutique manufacturer of ultra-fast cars put the supercar on display at the Geneva Motor Show.
With the Vision Gran Turismo concept, Bugatti has joined the pantheon of cars that have produced a virtual model for the Gran Turismo computer game, and the study is also a trailer for the successor to the Veyron. And the latest study is inspired by the newly retired person. It will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but it will only drive on digital roads.
Think of all the dream cars you can own and you get just an approximation of The Pinnacle Portfolio, a collection of cars the world has never seen. In it we find the Ferrari Enzo, which was given to Pope John Paul II as a gift, the very first Bugatti Veyron produced and the Saleen S7 from the movie Iron Man. But this is only the tip of the iceberg of the cars that were auctioned at RM Sotheby's.
The Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse La Finale is the last, the 450th example of its kind, as it retires the Veyron. This closes a special chapter in the history of motoring, which began 10 years ago and in which the Bugatti Veyron was synonymous with prestige, technical perfection, and for a long time even Usain Bolt was among the super sports cars, i.e. the fastest in the world. The last example, which is on display at the Geneva Motor Show and is a mirror image of the first model, the Veyron EB 16.4, thus concludes its life cycle.
Only three units of this legendary version of the Veyron will be available to fifth-generation buyers, who thus enter the class of legends. As a special version, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Black Bess is dedicated to the model "type" 18 Black Bless, which is considered the first legal road car. Which just goes to show Bugatti's exceptional legacy.
