Who buys a car for 16.7 million euros (approx $18 million)? The answer is – not you. This Bugatti creation, called the La Voiture Noire has already been sold to one lucky, and presumably very rich, buyer.
The car is based in the classic Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic that was designed by Jean Bugatti, the son of the Bugatti founder. It was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland but it's far from the only hyper luxury car at the show.
Aston Martin's AM-RB 003 – dubbed the "daily supercar" – is a mid-engined concept car. Previously known as Project 003, only 500 coupes will be produced in 2021 – giving more drivers the chance to pick up the groceries in style.
On-or-off the track, this supercar will be powered by Aston Martin's UK-built VC-six engine. AM-RB 003 is the latest addition to the Valkyrie range, which is the result of a partnership between Aston Martin and the Red Bull F1 team. The AM-RB 003 is still at the concept stage, Aston Martin has not released an expected price.
