Bugatti didn’t quote a top speed for this bespoke car, but we imagine it can’t be too far off the mark from the Chiron with the amount of power it’s packing.

Not as though any of us will have to worry about it, but Bugatti says the price was $12,503,150, and that was before taxes. With all the taxes and delivery fees included, the price balloons all the way up to 18,795,716. That makes it the most expensive new car of all time, according to Bugatti. Surprised? We’re not either.

Maybe the individual who bought the car was looking for a faster and more comfortable way to get to their cottage on the weekend? We can only guess, as Bugatti hasn’t revealed the buyer’s name. But one guess is Dr. Ferdinand Piëch, grandson of Ferdinand Porsche and ex-chairman of the Volkswagen Group.

Design-wise, La Voiture Noire tries its best to take cues from the 57 SC Atlantic. You’ll notice a less pronounced dorsal fin running from the front of the car all the way back in an effort to match.

The windshield flows seamlessly into the windows and back to the sides like a visor on a helmet. Bugatti says its intentions were to make it “all of a piece,” so there’s nothing to mess with the flowing lines down the car.
