In case interested buyers have €16.7 million or US$18.9 million lying around, Bugatti already sold its one-of-a-kind creation. The luxury brand said that the jet black sports car with a 16-cylinder engine, 1,500 horsepower and six exhaust pipes was handcrafted for a car collector who probably identifies with the motto of company founder, Ettore Bugatti:"If it is comparable, it is no longer Bugatti."
At its debut Tuesday )during the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland, Bugatti chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said the car he deemed both"elegant and puristic" was inspired by an earlier model, the Bugatti Atlantic, of which only four were made.The most expensive car ever sold is said to be a Tour de France-winning 1963 Ferrari 250 GT. It was purchased in June by David MacNeil, chief executive of the automotive accessory maker WeatherTech, for a reported $70 million.
