Cristiano Ronaldo has had a good 2017. Not only did he make a whopping INR2.65 crore per Instagram post, he also bagged the Ballon d’Or in 2017 for the fifth time. So if there’s any athlete you’d see driving the beauty that is the Bugatti Chiron, you know it’s got to be Cristiano Ronaldo.
Priced at INR17 crore, the Chiron boasts of a 16-cylinder, 8 litre engine which is powered by four turbochargers which can produce a mean 1500 horsepower.
Living up to its promise of being a high-performance ride, it can take you from 0 to 96.5 kph in just 2.5 seconds. According to the official Bugatti website, it features special carbon ceramic break discs and break callipers that were designed exclusively for it, along with eight titanium pistons for ‘maximum performance’.
Touted to be the upgrade to the Veyron 16.4, the Bugatti Chiron’s inside is just as luxurious as its sculpted, muscular outer form. If the fact that the car is home to the world’s longest built-in LED illumination system doesn’t excite you, perhaps a look at the mechanical speedometer – with emphasis on the 500 km/h mark – will.
According to Car and Driver, it also features ‘seven-speed dual-clutch automatic routes power to all four wheels’. Additionally, each Chiron has a central console with an independent, adjustable display that has been crafted from a single piece of solid aluminium.
So while the Bugatti Chiron may be a great choice for one of the world’s greatest footballers with a million fans and a multi-million bank balance that contributes to his jet-setting lifestyle, we’re not sure if driving the car that Cristiano Ronaldo drives is ideal for you, particularly if you’re purchasing it to fix a mid-life crises, for one simple reason: The hypercar is a two-seater; which means that when it comes down to taking it out for a spin, you may have to reveal who your favourite child is.
