Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Incredible Bugatti Supercar Collection
The legendary Cristiano Ronaldo is the proud owner of not one, not two, but three Bugatti hypercars – making him one of the marque‘s most prolific celebrity ambassadors. But how did the soccer superstar amass this multi-million dollar Bugatti collection, what models are included, and what makes these some of the most exceptional production vehicles ever designed?
The Crown Jewel: Bugatti Chiron
The $3 million Bugatti Chiron is the crown jewel of Ronaldo‘s fleet, serving as the centerpiece of his Bugatti trio. First unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2016, the Chiron represents the pinnacle of Bugatti engineering, melding form and function into one outrageously fast work of automotive art.
Powered by a quad-turbocharged 8.0L W16 engine producing 1500hp and 1180 lb-ft torque, the Chiron can rocket from 0-60 mph in under 2.5 seconds on the way to a top speed of 261 mph. Bugatti limited production to just 500 units, ensuring the Chiron‘s exclusivity and collector status.
According to Ronaldo, the Chiron perfectly encapsulates Bugatti‘s racing heritage and spirit. "You can feel the history and soul of Bugatti‘s success in racing when driving the Chiron," he said. "It‘s a beautiful beast."
The Groundbreaking Bugatti Veyron
Long before the Chiron entered his garage, Ronaldo started his Bugatti love affair with an iconic Veyron – the car that re-established Bugatti as a leading supercar brand after years of dormancy.
When it debuted in 2005, the $1.7 million Veyron was the fastest and most powerful production car ever built, capable of 253 mph thanks to its quad-turbo 8.0L W16 pumping out 1000 hp. The Veyron turned the supercar world on its head, setting new benchmarks for speed, luxury, and technology.
Ronaldo praised the Veyron‘s status as a true game-changer: "When I drove my first Veyron, I couldn‘t believe the combination of outrageous power and luxury. It was an unforgettable thrill."
Bugatti Centodieci – Ultra Exclusive Edition
Most recently, Ronaldo got his hands on Bugatti‘s newest supercar – the Centodieci. Unveiled in 2019 as part of Bugatti‘s 110th anniversary celebrations, the Centodieci pays tribute to the legendary EB110 supercar of the 1990s.
Strictly limited to just 10 cars priced at $9 million each, the Centodieci takes Bugatti exoticness to new extremes. Its 8.0L quad-turbo W16 engine is tuned to produce a mind-bending 1600hp. With a top speed electronically limited to 236 mph, it sprints 0-60 mph in 2.4 seconds – matching the Chiron‘s acceleration.
Ronaldo was drawn to the Centodieci‘s styling and heritage link to Bugatti‘s first comeback supercar, the EB110. "I‘m proud to have a model representing Bugatti‘s rich history in my collection," he said.
Supercar Royalty – On and Off the Pitch
Ronaldo‘s Bugatti triple threat firmly cements his status as supercar royalty both on and off the soccer pitch. But his Bugatti love story is also symbolic of the brand‘s core values – athleticism, performance, prestige, and exclusivity.
Bugatti only exists to make the world‘s most ambitious hypercars. As Bugatti‘s CEO Stephan Winkelmann said, "If you want the ultimate hypercar, you drive a Bugatti." And that is what draws iconic athletes like Ronaldo to the brand – the pursuit of ultimate performance.
Owning three of the most iconic Bugattis ever made is a flex that perfectly suits Ronaldo‘s competitive spirit and inner drive for success. Even among millionaire athletes and celebrities, Ronaldo sits in rare company as a three-time Bugatti owner. His personalized Chiron, Veyron, and Centodieci comprise an automotive Dream Team fitting of the soccer legend.
