A white-and-carbon Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ just shattered expectations, fetching a mind-blowing $5.7 million at Bonhams’ swanky Audrain Auction in Rhode Island. Talk about flexing its status as the king of modern speed demons.
October 3 wasn’t just another autumn day—it was hypercar history. Bonhams parked its annual ritzy shindig smack in the middle of the Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week, right at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, because why not? Out of 47 lots, this beast stole the show, gobbling up over half the auction’s total $10.3 million haul.
Only 30 of these monsters exist. Each one’s a last-hurrah love letter to raw, unfiltered gasoline glory—no hybrid nonsense, just an 8.0-liter W16 brute with four turbos and enough horses (1,577, to be exact) to flirt with 300 mph. Good luck naming five rides in history that can top that.
This wasn’t just a sale; it was a statement. Half the auction’s cash came from a single car, proving that even in shaky times, fat wallets still lust after Bugatti’s finest. U.S. auctions have only seen this model twice—so yeah, it’s that rare.
Bonhams grinned all the way to the bank with an 85% sell-through rate, thanks to feverish bids from both the room and screens. Their U.S. game? Strong.
Whitney Maxwell, Bonhams’ big boss, called it straight: “Audrain and Quail wrapped up 2025 with a bang—turns out, it was Bugatti’s year to own the stage.”
Collectors aren’t slowing down. If anything, this deal screams that ultra-exclusive hypercars remain the ultimate flex. Bugatti? Still untouchable.
