The Most Expensive Bugattis in the World: What the Prices Actually Show

The biggest documented Bugatti auction result here is the Type 59 Sports at USD 12.681 million. La Voiture Noire’s €11 million figure is a stated price before tax, not a verified private sale.

There is no fully verified, apples-to-apples ranking of the most expensive Bugattis ever sold: the available figures mix public auction results with manufacturer-announced new-car prices, different currencies and different tax bases. The largest documented public-auction result here is the 1934 Type 59 Sports at USD 12.681 million in 2020; Bugatti’s highest stated new-car price among these examples is €11 million before tax for the one-off La Voiture Noire. Those are different kinds of figures, so they should not be presented as interchangeable answers to “What is the most expensive Bugatti in the world?”

How to read this ranking

This is a ranking of notable, source-documented high-price Bugattis, not a complete all-time market league table. Auction prices are amounts reported for completed sales; manufacturer prices are announced prices, not proof that a car later changed hands for that amount. The figures below retain their original currencies and stated tax treatment. No currency conversion or inflation adjustment is applied, and the available sources do not establish a consistent treatment of buyer’s premiums across every result.

Accordingly, the auction examples are grouped by reported sale amount within their original currency rather than assigned a misleading overall order. La Voiture Noire appears in a separate new-car-price category.

Documented public auction results

1. 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports — USD 12.681 million

Bugatti reported that the Type 59 Sports sold at Gooding & Company’s London auction in September 2020 for USD 12.681 million. This is a reported public-auction result, not an original list price. It is the largest nominal auction figure among the documented results in this article when comparing the dollar-denominated sales, but it cannot be compared directly with euro results without choosing a conversion date and price basis. Bugatti’s account of the 2020 sale.

2. Bugatti Chiron Profilée — €9,792,500 net

The one-off Chiron Profilée sold for €9,792,500 net at RM Sotheby’s Paris auction on February 1, 2023, according to Bugatti. Bugatti described it at the time as the most valuable new car ever sold at auction. The result is specifically stated as net; it should not be silently compared with a gross figure or a before-tax manufacturer price. Bugatti’s report on the Chiron Profilée auction.

Hendrik Malinowski, then Managing Director of Bugatti Automobiles, said the company wanted to make it possible for as many people as possible to acquire the sole Profilée, and described the global automotive community’s enthusiasm for the car. That comment speaks to the one-off’s appeal; the auction result itself is the evidence for its price.

3. 1938 Bugatti Type 57C Aravis Special Cabriolet — USD 6,605,000

Bugatti reported that this car sold at Gooding & Company in 2024 for USD 6,605,000, calling it a model record. That wording matters: a record for the Type 57C Aravis is not necessarily a record for every Bugatti. The same sale included a Type 46 Semi-Profilée Coupe, which reportedly realized USD 1,105,000. Bugatti’s report on its 2024 auction results.

4. 2024 Bugatti Bolide — €4,336,250

A 2024 Bolide sold for €4,336,250 at RM Sotheby’s Monaco auction in 2026. RM Sotheby’s describes the Bolide as a circuit-only machine, so this is a useful modern auction example but not a like-for-like road-car comparison. The result does not establish a top overall position across all Bugatti sales. RM Sotheby’s auction listing.

Highest stated new-car price: La Voiture Noire

Bugatti’s model-lineup material stated a price of €11 million before tax for La Voiture Noire, a one-off. This is the highest stated new-car price among the examples covered here, but it is not a verified private-sale result or an independently confirmed later transaction price. Calling it “the most expensive Bugatti ever sold” would therefore overstate what the figure establishes. Bugatti’s model-lineup material.

Other limited-production Bugatti prices

The same Bugatti lineup material gave historical manufacturer prices and planned production quantities for three additional models. These figures help explain the range of announced prices, but they are not current offers and should not be mixed into an auction-results ranking.

Which Bugatti sold for the most money?

Among the public-auction results listed here, the 1934 Type 59 Sports has the largest reported amount in US dollars: USD 12.681 million in 2020. The Chiron Profilée brought €9,792,500 net in 2023. Since the figures use different currencies and the available sources do not provide a common conversion date or fully normalized price basis, naming one as definitively more expensive than the other in a single cross-currency ranking would imply precision the evidence does not support.

If “most expensive” means the highest announced new-car price rather than a completed auction sale, La Voiture Noire’s stated €11 million before tax is the relevant figure. It remains a manufacturer-announced price, not a confirmed resale price.

Why rarity alone does not settle the ranking

One-off status and limited production are relevant context, but they do not by themselves establish a car’s market value. A credible comparison needs the transaction type, sale date, currency, tax basis and—where available—whether the figure includes a buyer’s premium. Intended use matters too: a circuit-only Bolide and a road-going car serve different purposes. A model record, such as the reported Type 57C Aravis result, should not be mistaken for a marque-wide record.
