Collector Buys Eight Bugattis, But Only Two Are Full-Size Models

The other six are Bugatti Baby II EVs.

Purchasing a Bugatti isn’t like buying a regular car. It’s a lengthy procedure that narrows down potential consumers to a chosen few who will be given the opportunity to pick up their new Bugatti at the company’s Molsheim headquarters. According to Bugatti, it’s an event “unlike any other,” and the company recently had to hand over eight new vehicles to one customer.

Although purchasing eight Bugattis may appear extravagant, only two were full-size versions. The other six were Bugatti Baby II vehicles, which paid homage to the original Bugatti Baby from the mid-twentieth century. The owner purchased two full-size Bugatti automobiles, one for each of his children who were flown to France to tour the famous grounds. Yellow, red, blue, green, white, and orange were used to finish each one.

The six Baby IIs were part of a purchase that also included two full-size Bugatti models – a Chiron Super Sport 300+ and a one-of-eight Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Edition. The Chiron Super Sport 300+ that’s inspired by the brand breaking the 300-mile-per-hour barrier packs the company’s potent 8.0-liter W16 engine. Bugatti only made 30 – and they all have owners.

The Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Edition became the world’s fastest car in 2013, hitting 254.05 mph (408.84 kph). The 8.0-liter W16 pumped out 1,183 horsepower (870 kilowatts). The car also comes with an official La Maison Pur Sang certificate verifying its authenticity.

The Bugatti Baby II isn’t as powerful as the first, but it’s more than a toy. With its electric drivetrain, the Baby II, which is around 75% the size of the original, can go up to 42 mph (70 kph). It comes with a short- or long-range battery that powers the rear wheels and delivers up to 31 miles (49 kilometres) of range.

Each one is as unique and high-end as the rest of Bugatti’s offerings. Hand-formed aluminium bodywork takes more than 200 hours to produce on the top-of-the-line Baby II Pur Sang. Only 500 will be built by Bugatti, and they won’t come cheap.
