Toronto, 7 February 2023 (GNP): At a Wednesday auction in Paris, Bugatti sold its final gas-only supercar for more than $10 million, breaking the previous record for a brand-new vehicle.
The one-of-a-kind Bugatti Chiron Profilée, which was originally a unique development vehicle and was never intended for sale, sold at RM Paris collector auto auction for a bid of $9.5 million. The final selling price was around $10.7 million after fees to the auction house were paid (Around Rs. 2.7 Billion).

The amount paid was much higher than the $4.5 million to $6 million range that RM Sotheby’s had predicted the automobile would get.
Hagerty, a business that monitors the collector car market, claims that the eight-figure price surpasses past auction sales of new autos. However, in private, a trio of brand-new bespoke Rolls Royce with extreme customization were sold in 2021 for roughly $25 million each.
