On July 12, 2020, Bugatti unveiled the 'La Voiture Noire', a masterpiece of automotive design, priced at a staggering $19 million.

The car, made entirely from carbon fiber, was inspired by Bugatti's predecessors, including the Veyron and Chiron, as well as the pre-war Type 57SC Atlantic.

Designed by Salome Etienne, the La Voiture Noire boasts an 8-liter, 16-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 1,500 horsepower, allowing it to reach speeds of over 450 km/h.

However, Bugatti has refused to reveal its performance specifications, leaving enthusiasts to speculate about the car's capabilities.

The front of the car features the iconic horseshoe-shaped Bugatti grill, which blends seamlessly into an aerodynamically swept-back design with a sloping windscreen and wrap-around tail lamps.
