• The La Voiture Noire is a one-off special introduced at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Based on the Chiron, the design of the car harkens back to the Type 57 SC Atlantic and is a celebration of the company's distinctive design history. The car has a hand-built body made from carbon fibre designed by Bugatti designer Etienne Salomé which has an elongated nose (similar to that on the Divo) and an elongated rear section. Other notable features include unique wing mirrors, LED taillight strip, and wheels. Unlike the original, the car retains the mid-engine layout.
• A trim piece running from the front of the car to the rear spoiler recalls the dorsal fin present on the Type 57 SC.
The car features a floating windscreen and has masked A-pillars. The La Voiture Noire's shares large design
similarities from the Bugatti Rembrandt, a cancelled front-engine grand tourer powered by the Chiron's W16
engine.
• The La Voiture Noire will be powered by the same 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 engine from the Chiron having the same power output
figures but the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and the all-wheel-drive system are heavily revised in order to allow for a more relaxed driving
experience. Softer dampers and a revised chassis contribute to the factor. The car features six exhaust pipes recalling the innovative design
of the past.
• Performance figures remain unknown but the company states that the car is likely to have a lower top speed and acceleration times as compared to the Chiron due to its Grand Touring nature.
• A statement made later by the company confirmed that the car on display was a concept car and that the final product would take two and a
half years more to complete. The show car had electric motors instead of an engine for easy maneuverability.
According to reports from tabloid newspapers, La Voiture Noire was registered in Zurich, Switzerland in December 2021.
• The car was sold for a price of $18.68 million, making it one of the most expensive
cars built to date.
