cCertain: Cristiano Ronaldo bought for himself a Bugatti Centodeciand it is indeed the most expensive, wild, powerful, energetic and exclusive Bugatti of modern times (with the exception of La Voiture Noire, which is a one-off).
And while he hasn’t publicly displayed it yet on Instagram (let’s face it, the Portuguese star enjoys showing off his cars), he may have been waiting for his return from the Qatar World Cup with several goals under his arm and a. Picture of him lifting world Cup in everyone’s memory to indicate that he had won it.
Cristiano’s new game cost him eight million euros, without taking into account the taxes he would have had to pay in his country. Undoubtedly barbaric, but the figure may be laughable for the gamer himself if we take into account that he earns more than 40 million annually only thanks to the products he promotes on his Instagram account, where he has 502 million followers.
1600 hp and from zero to 100 in 2.4 seconds
The Centodieci is a super sports car that uses the French brand’s usual W16 8.0 block, tuned on this occasion to deliver 1,600 hp, 100 more than the Chiron. The performance it achieves is that of a real ‘combat fighter’ on asphalt: 2.4 seconds to go from 0 to 100, 6.1 to do 0 to 200 and 13.1 to reach 300 km/h from a standstill.
And if it continues, its momentum can reach 380 km / h … electronically limited, because the engine is capable of much more than that.
And no less important for those with money to burn: In order to maintain their value, only ten of these cars were ever built. They bear no numbering but the order of manufacture is noted by the chassis number. Can you imagine Ronaldo’s loneliness? Why number 7 of course.
His interest was known
In fact, a rumor arose that the Portuguese star might have been interested in the car a couple of years ago, but Bugatti has neither confirmed nor denied it. Being discreet with potential millionaire clients is crucial, and in Ronaldo’s case it is no different.
At MARCA Cars we also heard these rumors, but didn’t want to confirm the news until we had clear proof. This evidence came with some photos published by Portuguese media outlet Maisfutebol just days before the World Cup kicked off.
In the pictures, the Bugatti Centodeci is seen leaving the Portuguese National Training Complex, in the town of Oeiras, on the outskirts of Lisbon. Who else could it be?
Caught in the middle of the night
In the photos taken in the middle of the night, a white Bugatti (a color that inadvertently reminds us of Real Madrid) is seen leaving the facilities, apparently accompanied by a Mercedes SUV that follows him a few meters away and in which his bodyguards could travel.
It is true that there is no way to be sure that Cristiano is driving it, but it is also true that Bugatti is very selective when it comes to choosing its customers and that no one from the Portuguese camp would have approved of this by a Bugatti. The car (remember: there are only ten) except for Ronaldo.
In fact, the relationship between the footballer and the French brand goes back a long way, as Cristiano already owns a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse that he acquired in 2016 and a Chiron that he bought a year later, both of whom are still players in Madrid.
Cristiano: His future is up in the air
While waiting to see what Portugal can offer in the World Cup in Qatar (Portugal’s national team starts tomorrow against Ghana), Cristiano can look forward to enjoying the Centodeci race…but where will it lead?
With his club’s future up in the air, that’s a big question that still needs to be answered.
