Many curious people have captured the image of Cristiano Ronaldo driving a Bugatti Centodieci sports car, which is a “unique product” when there are only 10 units in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of 10 lucky customers to own one of the most exclusive Bugattis in the history of the French luxury brand, Centodieci. The striker can now be seen driving the spectacular 1,600-horsepower two-seater on the streets of Madrid. It is an image that will be unforgettable for all who have seen the supercar, a true gem of the world auto industry.
Although this car has been seen before (particularly during the Portuguese team’s rally ahead of the 2022 World Cup), this is the first time Ronaldo has been seen behind the wheel.
Ronaldo has owned several Bugatti models, but the Centodieci is his most valuable asset. In fact, only 10 were produced, on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the most exclusive brand of the Volkswagen group (the birthday is celebrated in 2019). The last of them was delivered to the owner late last year.
The car Ronaldo owns is number 7 in the series and has a Portuguese registration. Its price is of course too expensive. When it was launched at the end of 2019, the car was valued at 8 million euros, excluding taxes. If you add up the taxes on a car of that size in Spain, the value will be pushed up to more than 10 million.
But the hardest thing is not having that money available, but also being one of the 10 chosen to own it. Ronaldo fulfills both conditions and is therefore able to enjoy the unparalleled performance of the supercar, reaching a top speed of 380 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 100 km in just 2.1 seconds.
Curiously, Ronaldo’s Centodieci isn’t the most expensive or exclusive of the Bugatti models. That honor goes to the Bugatti Voiture Noire, a one-off piece that was also created in 2019 on the occasion of its 110th anniversary and costs up to 11 million euros, plus taxes (almost 15 million in total). For quite a while, it was the most expensive car in the world until Rolls-Royce Boat Tail appeared to fill the spot.
