This one-off Bugatti Chiron Profilée becomes the most valuable Chiron ever

Earlier this week, auction house RM Sotheby’s listed this one-off Bugatti Chiron Profilée at its Paris auction for sale. The 1600hp hypercar with its unique wing, alloy wheels and custom interiors got sold for a whopping bid price of â‚¬9,792,500 ($10 million), making it the most valuable new car sold at an auction. This bid further went on to become the biggest sale RM Sotheby’s has made in the Paris auction’s 47-year history. The bidding amount went doubled over the pre-estimate of ($5 million), as the Profilée marked the final opportunity to grab the famed W16 engine direct from the French carmaker before electrification hits.
