Top 10 Most Expensive Bugatti Cars in the World: A Look at Their Prices and Rarity

The most expensive Bugatti in the world depends on how you count. Among new cars sold with a confirmed price, the one-off La Voiture Noire takes the crown at about $18.9 million including taxes. Among every Bugatti ever sold, the 1930s Type 57SC Atlantic is reported to have traded privately for $35–40 million. This guide ranks the top 10 most expensive Bugatti cars in the world by price, rarity, and units built, so you can see what each one costs and why collectors pay it.

Key Takeaways

• The most expensive Bugatti ever sold is the 1930s Type 57SC Atlantic, reportedly $35–40 million. The most expensive modern Bugatti with a confirmed price is La Voiture Noire at roughly $18.9 million.
• Most of the top 10 were built in runs of 100 or fewer, and several were one-offs or sold out before they were revealed.
• Among the ten ranked models, reported prices run from about $3.4 million for the Chiron Pur Sport to about $18.9 million for La Voiture Noire.
• Bugatti does not publish prices for its Programme Solitaire one-offs, such as the Brouillard, F.K.P. Hommage, and Destrier, so they sit outside the ranking.
• US buyers can find pre-owned Bugatti models through specialist dealers like J&S AutoHaus Group, which offers used exotic cars for sale alongside luxury and electric vehicles.
• Owning a Bugatti means significant ongoing costs beyond the sticker price, including insurance, secure storage, and factory-authorized maintenance.

There are three honest answers, depending on what you are measuring:

• Most expensive Bugatti ever sold: the 1936–1938 Type 57SC Atlantic. Only four were built, and sales of surviving cars have reportedly reached $35–40 million in private deals. These are rumored figures, since the sales were not public.
• Most expensive new Bugatti with a confirmed price: La Voiture Noire, a one-off tribute to the Atlantic, at €11 million before taxes (about $18.9 million with taxes).
• Most expensive Bugatti sold at auction in the modern era: the one-off Chiron Profilée, which sold for €9,792,500 (about $10.7 million) in Paris in 2023.

The ranking below focuses on modern Bugattis, meaning the Veyron-era and later cars you could realistically see on the road or at a major auction. Prices are the figures Bugatti announced or the sale price reported.

Bugatti’s pricing is not accidental. The brand is now run by Bugatti Rimac, the company led by Mate Rimac, after Porsche sold its stake to a HOF Capital–led investor consortium in 2026, as Rimac Group announced. Throughout the ownership changes, one thing has stayed constant: every Bugatti is hand-assembled at the Atelier in Molsheim, France, in numbers far smaller than any mainstream automaker.

The materials are aerospace-grade rather than merely premium. Carbon fiber monocoques, titanium exhaust components, machined aluminum hardware, and hand-stitched leather contribute to build times that stretch across months for a single car. According to Bugatti’s official brand history, the company’s philosophy has always centered on the intersection of art and engineering, a principle Ettore Bugatti established in the early twentieth century.

Power output matters too. The Chiron’s 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 produces about 1,500 PS, and later variants pushed that to 1,600 PS. Each new top-spec model brings fresh engineering investment, revised aerodynamics, and often new records, all of which feed directly into the price. Add the fact that many models sell out before they are even revealed, and you get a market where demand reliably outruns supply.

The table ranks the top 10 most expensive Bugatti cars in the world by reported price. Where Bugatti published a net price, that figure is used in euros, with an approximate US dollar equivalent at launch-era exchange rates. Euro prices exclude taxes; the Profilée figure is an auction result that includes the buyer’s premium. Divo and Mistral share a €5 million net price; the Divo ranks higher because the euro was stronger when it launched.

Price: €11M net (~$18.9M with taxes)  |  Built: 1  |  Power: 1,500 PS W16

La Voiture Noire answers the question “what is the most expensive new Bugatti?” Unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, this one-off is a tribute to Jean Bugatti’s own Type 57 SC Atlantic, a car that disappeared during World War II and has never been found. Built on the Chiron platform, it has a carbon-fiber body, six exhaust outlets, and a design Bugatti created for its 110th anniversary.

Bugatti confirmed a price of €11 million before taxes, roughly $12.5 million at the time or close to $19 million with taxes, and called it the most expensive new car ever sold. The buyer has never been officially named.

Price: €9.79M at auction (~$10.7M)  |  Built: 1  |  Power: 1,500 PS W16

The Chiron Profilée began as a planned small series, a more refined, touring-focused take on the Chiron Pur Sport. When all 500 Chiron build slots sold out first, Bugatti kept the pre-series car as a one-off and offered it at RM Sotheby’s Paris on February 1, 2023.

It sold for €9,792,500 including the buyer’s premium, more than double its €4.2–5.5 million estimate, and set a record for a new car sold at auction. It was also the last W16 Bugatti offered new from the Molsheim Atelier.

Price: €8M net (~$9M)  |  Built: 10  |  Power: 1,600 PS W16

Centodieci means “110” in Italian, a nod to Bugatti’s 110th anniversary. The design reinterprets the early-1990s EB110 supercar, and only ten were built. Its W16 produces 1,600 PS, 100 PS more than a standard Chiron. Some price trackers now put resale values above $10 million, which would be higher than its original price.

Price: €5M net (~$5.8M)  |  Built: 40  |  Power: 1,500 PS W16

The Divo reworked the Chiron for cornering rather than top speed, with revised aerodynamics, more downforce, and a lighter, more agile character. It is named after Albert Divo, who won the Targa Florio in Bugattis in the 1920s. All 40 cars were sold before the public reveal at Monterey in 2018.

Price: €5M net (~$5M)  |  Built: 99  |  Power: 1,600 PS W16

The Mistral is Bugatti’s open-top roadster and one of the final cars to use the W16 before the brand’s switch to a hybrid V16. Its design is unique to the Mistral rather than borrowed from the Chiron. All 99 units were pre-sold at €5 million each.

Price: €4M net (~$4.7M)  |  Built: 40  |  Track-only W16

The Bolide is Bugatti’s first track-only production car and its most extreme. It pairs a heavily revised W16 with a chassis far lighter than the Chiron’s, and it has no road equipment. Production was limited to 40 units, with first deliveries beginning in early 2024.

Price: €3.8M (~$4.1M)  |  Built: 250  |  Power: ~1,800 PS hybrid V16

The Tourbillon is the Chiron’s successor and the newest car on this list. It retires the W16 in favor of an 8.3-liter naturally aspirated V16 developed with Cosworth, plus three electric motors, for roughly 1,800 PS combined. Revealed in June 2024, it is limited to 250 cars, with customer deliveries scheduled from 2026. At 250 units it is the most plentiful car in the top 10, yet it still ranks among the most expensive new cars you can order.

Price: €3.5M net (~$3.9M)  |  Built: 30  |  Power: 1,600 PS W16

The Super Sport 300+ takes its name from the 2019 run in which test driver Andy Wallace took a prototype to 304.77 mph, which Bugatti billed as the fastest series-production car in the world at the time. Thirty customer cars were built, with orange-and-black styling that echoes the record car. Customer cars are electronically speed-limited.

Price: €3.2M net (~$3.8M)  |  Built: 60  |  Power: 1,600 PS W16

The Chiron Super Sport pairs the 300+ car’s 1,600 PS output and long-tail aerodynamics with the comfort-oriented equipment of a standard Chiron. Limited to 60 cars, with deliveries beginning in 2022, it is the most usable of the high-speed Chiron variants.

Price: €3M net (~$3.4M)  |  Built: 60  |  Power: 1,500 PS W16

The Chiron Pur Sport is the most agile member of the Chiron family. Bugatti stiffened the springs, trimmed weight, and added a 1.9-meter rear wing for more downforce. Limited to 60 units, it is the entry point to this ranking, and used examples have been advertised well above the original price.

Just outside the top 10 are the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse (92 built, with a World Record Edition of eight cars priced at €1.99 million plus tax) and the Chiron Sport “110 ans Bugatti” (20 built at €3 million net). Both are collector favorites, and the Veyron in particular remains the most accessible way into Bugatti ownership.

Bugatti’s Programme Solitaire builds entirely unique cars for single clients, and the company does not publish what they cost. That is why they are not ranked above, though they may well belong near the top.

• Brouillard (2025): a fixed-roof, one-off coupe built on the Mistral’s W16 foundation. Bugatti has not confirmed a price, and early estimates range from about $10 million to $20 million.
• F.K.P. Hommage (2026): a one-off tribute to the Veyron and its father figure, Ferdinand Karl Piëch.
• Destrier (2026): the third Solitaire car, built on the track-only Bolide’s carbon-fiber monocoque and wrapped in a new body inspired by the Type 57SC Atlantic. It is the lowest Bugatti ever built, at about one meter tall.

If prices are ever confirmed, expect the top of the ranking to change.

Bugattis do not follow conventional depreciation curves. While most luxury cars lose value the moment they leave the showroom, low-production Bugattis frequently hold or gain value, particularly when a model is discontinued, mileage stays very low, or the first owner was a notable collector. The Profilée is the clearest example: it sold at more than double its estimate.

Several factors determine auction outcomes for these cars:

• Provenance: documented ownership by a well-known collector, plus clean factory delivery records, always carries a premium.
• Color and spec: Bugatti’s bespoke program lets owners specify unusual paints, materials, and trim. Rare factory-correct combinations can command significant premiums.
• Mileage: collector-grade Bugattis are driven sparingly, and low-mileage cars are worth considerably more than those with thousands of road miles.
• Service records: Bugatti recommends factory-authorized maintenance at set intervals, and cars with complete factory service histories attract higher bids.

The Hagerty Valuation Tools track classic and exotic car values and are a useful reference point for how the market has moved. For the rarest Bugattis, specialist auction houses such as RM Sotheby’s and Gooding & Company remain the most reliable pricing benchmarks in the United States.

For American buyers, import rules add complexity when a Bugatti originated in Europe. Cars built for other markets generally need to meet US federal safety and emissions requirements before they can be registered, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) publishes importation guidelines that any prospective buyer should review before completing a cross-border purchase.

For most Americans, owning a Bugatti is only realistic through the pre-owned market. The United States is Bugatti’s largest market, so the supply of US-delivered cars is stronger than many buyers expect. Even so, secondary-market prices remain extraordinary: price trackers put used Chirons in roughly the $3–4 million range, and Veyrons have rarely traded much below $1.5 million. Those are market indications rather than guarantees, so always compare against current listings and recent sales.

When shopping for a used Bugatti in the US, the most important considerations are:

• Verify the service history. Bugatti’s maintenance schedule requires significant investment at each interval, and skipped service can create mechanical risk and destroy resale value at the same time.
• Request factory documentation. Ask for build records and authenticity documentation through Bugatti’s authorized network, which is especially important when a car’s history is hard to trace.
• Inspect the tires. Bugattis use specialized, model-specific tires that are expensive to replace. Worn tires on a car with otherwise low mileage can signal hard use that the odometer does not show.
• Work with a specialist dealer. General used car lots lack the infrastructure and expertise to evaluate or represent a Bugatti. Specialists like J&S AutoHaus Group, which focuses on used luxury, exotic, and electric vehicles, are better positioned to source and verify cars of this caliber.

J&S AutoHaus Group offers used exotic cars for sale alongside its broader inventory of luxury and electric vehicles, a practical starting point for US buyers who want dealer-level accountability rather than private-party risk. Working with a dealer also typically provides a paper trail that protects the buyer during title transfer and registration.

Ownership costs deserve a line in the budget as well. Insurance for a multimillion-dollar car, climate-controlled storage, tire replacement, and scheduled factory service all add up, and they are largely independent of how little the car is driven.

For buyers who want a car from the top 10 most expensive Bugatti cars in the world without commissioning a new build, the secondary market is the only realistic path for most models. Budget is relative at this level, but the Veyron and base Chiron remain the most approachable entry points.

Bugatti occupies a category of its own. The ten cars ranked here represent the pinnacle of what a production car maker has charged for a vehicle, and in nearly every case buyers paid willingly and quickly. La Voiture Noire at about $18.9 million, the Chiron Profilée at $10.7 million, and the Centodieci at roughly $9 million are not priced arbitrarily. Each figure reflects hand assembly, aerospace-grade materials, record-setting engineering, and an exclusivity no other brand delivers so consistently. And if the unpriced Solitaire cars ever reveal their numbers, the list will get even more extreme.

For American buyers who want to engage with this world realistically, the pre-owned market is the most practical entry point. Browse used exotic cars for sale at J&S AutoHaus Group for dealer accountability, title verification, and the inventory expertise this segment demands. Whether you are a collector, an investor, or an enthusiast curious about what sits at the top of the market, the approach is the same: know the history, verify the documentation, and work with people who specialize in cars of this caliber.
