If you haven’t yet seen this beautiful structure, then prepare to be blown away.
The La Voiture Noire has an 8 litre engine that produces almost 1,500 horsepower.
It also has a top speed of 420 kilometres per hour, and can go from 0 to 100kph in 2.4 seconds, an incredible speed for a truly incredible car.
This won’t be the first time Cristiano Ronaldo has purchased a Bugatti.
After Portugal’s historic victory over France in the 2016 European Championship final, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner celebrated in style with a ‘run-of the mill’ purchase.He only went out and bought a Veyron worth around $1.5 million.
As well as owning the Ferrari F430, Phantom Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini Aventador, Maserati GranCabrio and the Bentley Continental GTC, among others, Cristiano has decided to splash out on arguably his best motor yet – the La Voiture Noire.
Oh and remember the time he ‘raced’ a Bugatti Veyron?Well, he can do that pretty much everyday in the back garden now he’s purchased this beast.
