Bugatti’s latest one-off custom build is the elegant La Voiture Noire hypercar. Built over two years for a private car collector, this incredible example of automotive haute couture is inspired by Jean Bugatti’s (Ettore’s son) Type 57 SC Atlantic. Nicknamed the “La Voiture Noire,” this stunning all-black Bugatti was the fastest automobile of its time before mysteriously disappearing shortly before World War Two. This modern update of the La Voiture Noire is a work of art. It’s a minimalistic coupe with striking lines designed with the spirit of the original in mind but with the technology of Bugatti’s most recent automobiles. The car contains carbon fiber bodywork finished with a clearcoat known as “Black Carbon Glossy” that’s almost reflection-free. “The La Voiture Noire is the ultimate dream car for long distances such as a drive from Molsheim to Milan. The combination of perfect beauty and powerful drive culminates in this one-off as a declaration of love for the automobile,” explains Achim Anscheidt, Bugatti’s Design Director. Bugatti Bugatti Bugatti Bugatti Bugatti Bugatti Bugatti Bugatti The La Voiture Noire is meant to look seamless, with the bumper integrating into the body and the windscreen seemingly warping around the car like a helmet. 3D printing was used to create the front grille while more than 25 individual light elements were manufactured for the headlights. There are also six individual tailpipes at the rear. Under the hood is the same quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine used in the Bugatti Chiron, capable of 1,479-horsepower. There are no photos of the car’s interior as of yet, but Bugatti has confirmed the inside features grain leather in Havana Brown and polished and turned aluminum inlays. “Although the La Voiture Noire is a one-off, we spent two years using a test vehicle to develop and test it in all areas like handling and driving safety so that it can be approved,” says Pierre Rommelfanger, who is the Head of Coachbuilding Projects at Bugatti. The hypercar was tested in wind tunnels and race tracks and had to pass every single assessment before it was given the green light.

“With the La Voiture Noire, we are paying our respects to our long tradition, to France, and to Jean Bugatti’s creative work,” says Stephan Winkelmann. “At the same time, we are bringing exceptional technology, aesthetics, and extreme luxury into a new age. The La Voiture Noire is at the cutting edge of automotive engineering. It is a sculptural beauty that boasts unique technology.” The new owner of the La Voiture Noire had to cough up $13.4 million before taxes for this incredible creation, but we think it’s worth it.
