Bugatti Chiron Profilee sold for $9.79 million

The Bugatti Chiron is the pride of the Italian supercar manufacturer, and all 500 planned units of this car have already been sold out. All of them went for millions, but the unique Bugatti Chiron Profilee broke the record by reaching an auction price of EUR 9,792,500.

One of a kind Bugatti Chiron Profilée

The auction was held in France and the realized amount did not include tax. Bugatti Rimac CEO Mate Rimac said the Profilee now holds the record for the most expensive new car sold at auction.

Bugatti Chiron Profilee is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine with 1,480 hp (1,103 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. The same engine powers the Bugatti Mistral. It reaches 62 mph in 2.3 seconds with a top speed of 380 km/h, which is 30 km/h more than the Chiron Pur Sport (350 km/h).

This unique car is based on the Pur Sport model, but instead of the raised full-length rear wing, an integrated spoiler is installed, which still generates 80 percent of the Pur Sport’s downforce. It is equipped with a large rear spoiler, wider air intakes, a larger grille to improve cooling, a redesigned front splitter, 10 percent stiffer springs and magnesium wheels. The rear wing has a double function, with its upper surface it creates downforce and with its lower surface it removes hot air.

Last month Mate Rimac announced the arrival of a new supercar that will be like no other before: “It’s completely new, so there’s not a single part that’s taken from any car. Nothing carried over from the Chiron, nothing carried over from the Nevera, everything’s been made from scratch,” said Mate Rimac.
