Bugatti La Voiture Noire Is The Most Expensive New Car Sold

Only one example of the Bugatti La Voiture Noire has been produced and carries a price tag of $12.5 million or Rs. 87 crore, making it the most expensive new car to be sold ever.


What do you do when your garage is full of supercars, hypercars, limited edition cars, yachts, jets or an airline perhaps? You get something that's built just for you and is the only of its kind in the world. Somewhere out there, a certain billionaire has just done exactly that and paid some outlandish amounts of money for the same. We are talking about the Bugatti La Voiture Noire, a car that makes the Chiron look "affordable" with only one to be ever produced. And with a price tag of $12.5 million or ₹ 87 crore (ex-showroom), it is the world's most expensive new car to be sold ever. In fact, the one-off car actually costs about ₹ 132 crore on-road (after taxes).


The Bugatti La Voiture Noire has been commissioned to commemorate the brand's 110th anniversary and made its debut at the ongoing 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Only one example of the all-black car will be produced and has already been sold. The La Voiture Noire pays homage to the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, which was designed by Jean Bugatti, eldest son of founder Ettore. The 57 Atlantic had an iconic all-black variant, which went missing during the Second World War and the new La Voiture Noire takes after it with its all-black paintwork. Globally, there are four examples of the 57 Atlantic available today.


Every component of the Bugatti La Voiture Noire has been handcrafted and the complete carbon fibre body has a deep gloss black finish. The material has been handled perfectly, says Bugatti designer Etienne Salome, adding that the design was worked upon until nothing could be improved. Visually, the Bugatti La Voiture Noire looks almost evil, much like Darth Vader, but equally intriguing. The rear almost floats over the exhausts with the ultra-wide taillights extending from side-to-side.


For what is a bespoke car completely, the La Voiture Noire shares its performance components with the Chiron. The 8-litre 16-cylinder engine develops 1479 bhp and 1600 Nm of peak torque. There are six exhaust pipes at the rear, a reference to the Atlantic's five exhausts. It's also the pinnacle of performance for the internal combustion engine that graces the expo floor that is also celebrating the birth of electric hypercars.














The unnamed owner of the most expensive Bugatti ever will be receiving the finished example almost two and a half years later, during which Bugatti will be working not only on building the car but also on homologating it as well to make it road legal. The La Voiture Noire then, is as rare as they get, nothing short of a piece of art. This one though will be functional.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

By
A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

By
Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
