A collection of 13 super cars worth over $50 million

September 20, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

We don’t often see large collections of expensive cars, because they are hidden from the eyes of the beholder. However, one collection of 13 super sports cars worth over $50 million is parked at the Los Angeles airport.

Driving by the airport, vlogger “effspot” recorded a video showing 13 cars hidden under nylon. It is not known who owns the collection, nor why the cars were left outside. Is the current owner transporting them to a new location or are they on their way to a new owner?! Either way, we hope they will not stay out in the open for long.

The collection consists of some of the best super sports cars such as Porsche 918 Spyder, two McLarens (Sabre and Speedtail), Porsche 911, Pagani Huayra, Lamborghini Centenario, Ford GT, Ferrari LaFerrari, Bugatti Chiron, Aston Martin One-77 and several

models .

Bugatti opened a showroom at La Rascasse

April 24, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

Monaco and its streets are home to one of the most interesting and perhaps the most difficult races in Formula 1, and it is considered the jewel of the F1 calendar. This place is very important for Bugatti, for which it has good memories, and now the company has opened a showroom in this location.

Bugatti, which achieved victory in the first Monaco Grand Prix in 1929, competed with the Type 35B car driven by William Charles Frederick Grover. Louis Chiron, the Bugatti driver after whom the Chiron model was named, was also born in Monaco in 1899. He won the same race (Monaco Grand Prix) 32 years later, and although Bugatti is not currently in Formula 1, the brand has returned to one of its “spiritual homes”.

The salon is located in the legendary La Rascasse, and the Bugatti W16 Mistral has a central position in the salon. During the opening, guests could also see unique cars such as La Voiture Noire, one of ten Centodieci hypercars produced in honor of the EB110 model, the Divo and the hand-painted Chiron Pur Sport known as the Gran Prix.

Bugatti Mistral is powered by a centrally located turbocharged 8-liter W16 engine with 1,600 hp (1,177 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. The same engine powers the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. It reaches 62 mph (100 km / h) in just 2.4 seconds, 124 mph (200 km / h) in 5.8 seconds, and 186 mph (300 km / h) in about 12 seconds. The top speed that the Bugatti Mistral can reach is electronically limited to 273 mph (440 km / h). Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Bugatti Chiron Profilee sold for $9.79 million

February 2, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

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.

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.
