Based on the Bugatti Chiron’s drivetrain, the car is an ode to super-luxury, reaching a price that only the ultra-rich can afford.

2. Its name translates to “The Black Car”.
3. La Voiture Noire was already sold to a buyer even before its unveiling at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show.
4. It is powered by a 16-cylinder, 8-litre quad-turbo engine putting out 1,479hp and a mind-melting 1,600Nm of torque.
5. The car in the photo is just a model – the owner will need to wait more than two years for delivery.
