hello a Luxor's welcome back for another
great video brought to you by our team
here at a LOX calm in which we'll be
taking a look at the supercars that top
pretty much every list when it comes to
luxury speed and you've guessed it price
yes a Luxor's today's video is all about
bugatti for any keen car spotters out
there the number of high-end automobiles
you're likely to come across will vary
depending on where you live typically
Porsches while highly desirable aren't
that rarest site anymore Lamborghinis
and Ferraris are a lot harder to spot
and are bound to turn heads whenever
they come into view but when it comes to
Bugattis many of us are only likely to
come face to face with one if we happen
to be visiting one of the world's top
car shows and with starting prices for
both Bugattis main production models of
Iran and the Chiron starting in seven
figures it's no wonder that these are
the unicorns of the car world in today's
video we'll be asking what makes Bugatti
so expensive
number one the engine let's start with
what Bugatti is really famous for speed
these supercars aren't just fast they're
insanely fast and if you're going to
break records for speed you're going to
need a ridiculously powerful and
expensive engine in the case of the
Chiron we're talking about 1500
horsepower that's around seven times the
horsepower of a typical SUV and double
the lamborghini aventador the Chiron
Super Sport 300 plus is recognized as
the world's fastest street-legal car
with a top speed of 304 miles per hour
that's more than a dozen football fields
per second and it also has the title for
the fastest acceleration as it can go
from 0 to 400 kilometers an hour in just
under 42 seconds this record was set by
Formula One driver Juan Pablo Montoya at
the wheel in the 42 seconds it took him
to get up to the desired speed keep
covered over three kilometers
to say an engine that can do all of this
is going to come at a seriously high
price number two state-of-the-art
engineering all over Bugattis are
phenomenally fast but this raises a
question how do you control that much
speed for starters let's think about the
brakes if you're traveling at 300 miles
per hour a regular set of car brakes
just won't be up for the job you'll need
specially made sets of bugatti brakes
which can withstand heat up to a
mind-boggling 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit
or nine hundred and eighty degrees
Celsius that's slightly hotter than lava
you'll also need ten radiators to cool
the engines super-advanced stability
control and a suspension to keep your
car steady at high speeds and pricey
materials like carbon fiber and a grade
of steel usually found in aircrafts to
top it all off you'll want a set of
custom-made tires specially designed by
Michelin which alone cost seventeen
thousand dollars and they have to be
glued to the ramps and Bugattis have all
of these things and work amazingly well
test drivers have noticed that while
most supercars seem about to break apart
near top speed the Veron and Chiron both
give incredibly smooth rides and with
pretty much every component of a Bugatti
containing cutting-edge engineering way
about the level seen in any other road
vehicle suddenly the 2.4 million dollar
price tag starts to seem reasonable
number 3 limited availability as they
sell its sky-high prices it's clear
there's only going to be a certain
number of units sold
but Bugatti expertly uses this fact to
their advantage as a marketing tool by
making a conscious decision to cap the
number of vehicles they produce Bugatti
ensures that these rare vehicles become
even more desirable and that super-rich
customers are prepared to part with even
more cash to get behind the wheel of one
let's take a look at the numbers Bugatti
have stated they'll only produce 500
Sharon's owning one will place you in
the most elite clubs of consumers on the
planet a club that includes Cristiano
Ronaldo jay-z Floyd Mayweather and
recently post Malone but what if you're
a seriously high spender and the base
model Chiron still is
expensive enough for you you could go
for a limited edition model like a Devo
only 40 of them exist and they're priced
at five million euros each
or how about the chiyan thodi ecchi
they're only ten of these and they'll
set you back a cool eight million
dollars and in case you had your eyes
set on the super sleek level tor Noir
which means the black car in French
we're sorry to say you missed out only
one exists and it snapped up by a
mystery customer in 2019 for eighteen
point six million dollars setting the
record for the most expensive car ever
sold rumors went around that the buyer
of this one-off was none other than
Cristiano Ronaldo although Ronaldo has
himself stated the high spender in
question wasn't him number four top
level luxury looking at the super
exclusive clientele that drive Bugattis
did you really think bugatti would make
cars of this caliber without ensuring
the highest level of luxury inside and
out they've spared no expenses here the
seats steering wheel and dashboard are
covered in premium hand-stitched leather
making the interior a true work of art
the bugatti emblem on the front grill of
the Chiron is made out of silver with
five layers of enamel applied by hand
all over the car you'll find touches
that are masterpieces of design like the
C bar around the door which is the
longest illuminated component of the
automobile industry touches like these
aren't going to rival the cost of the
engineering but they are definitely
going to add to the high price point
number five craftsmanship and attention
to detail something else that sets
bugatti apart from pretty much any other
car is they don't roll off factory
production lines you've heard of classy
fashion brands favouring handcrafting
instead of machine production but in the
car industry it's particularly unheard
of that is unless we're talking about
Bugatti for starters the engine is
assembled by hand by two technicians
which takes a week to put together in
the Bugatti workshop in mulch I'm
friends after that a team of twenty
mechanics put the entire vehicle
together tightening each bolt Manuel
this takes two months to finish a single
car before it's driven 300 miles to make
sure everything functions perfectly
after which it's carefully polished in a
process that takes two days this level
of attention to detail on every vehicle
produced is unique in an automobile
production and it ensures that each
Bugatti is a work of art and it goes
without saying that it all adds up to
big Audis production costs and
desirability number six
finally a Lexus if you're one of the few
people lucky enough they can even
consider buying a Bugatti there's one
other cost you should consider and this
time it doesn't even show up on the
price tag maintenance if you're a proud
owner of a Bugatti you'll no doubt want
to keep it in tip-top condition and this
also is going to be pretty expensive
just changing the tires alone will cost
$30,000 maybe you want to replace the
rims - this will push the price up to
one hundred and twenty thousand what if
you just need an oil change luckily no
need to worry there you'll be able to
cover this with a billionaires pocket
change around $20,000 so that brings us
to is a Bugatti worth it there's no
doubt that Bugattis are phenomenally
expensive but are they actually worth it
to answer this let's see what those
world-famous motoring authorities top
gear have to say in 2010 the British
motoring show named the Veyron the car
of the decade for claiming it a feat of
engineering and design on par with
Concorde and while the Top Gear
presenters are known for pushing
supercars to the limit by testing them
against each other when it came to the
Veyron they chose to test it not against
other cars but against planes presumably
because if they put it up against a
retail car it just wouldn't have been a
fair fight however they did race it
against a McLaren f1 and Bugatti came in
first all proving that Bugattis really
are in a class all apart from other
vehicles all of this means if you can
buy a Bugatti you're not just buying one
of the most advanced pieces of
engineering in the world that's on a
totally different level - anything else
on the road you're also buying a
masterclass in design and luxury that's
pretty much incomparable as a status
symbol
in other words if you're one of the very
few people out there who can afford one
pen yes
Bugatti really is worth the price
question pay lectures were so curious to
know out of all Bugatti models out there
including the special editions which one
do you think is the most eye-catching
design let us know in the comments and
of course for sticking with us until the
end here's your bonus there is a Bugatti
model that we haven't mentioned yet and
it has bling written all over it the
Bugatti Veyron diamond limited edition
only three of them have been made and
they aren't made out of carbon fiber and
aircraft steel but out of 24 karat gold
platinum and diamonds Hale Xers as you
probably guessed know you can't actually
drive these and they didn't come from
the Bugatti factory and friends instead
from the workshop of a Munich based
jewelry designer amazingly at two
million dollars this scale model of the
V Ron is even more expensive than the
car it's modeled after and even if it
won't get anywhere near the 300 miles
per hour mark and it isn't an official
Bugatti product the fact that somebody
made the effort to make it highlights
Bugattis connection with the furthest
extremes of luxury thank you for
