Bentley Bacalar

 Bentley Bacalar

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/


Price: $1.9 Million

With just 12 total units produced, the Bentley Bacalar makes some of the "limited" cars on this list look plentiful by comparison. Although the car’s opulent design may be the first thing to grab your attention, the Bacalar is no slouch in terms of performance either. With Bentley’s signature turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 turbocharged engine, this car delivers 650 horsepower and 664 pound-feet. If you have a spare $1.9 million lying around and are considering buying one, you’re already too late – Bentley says that every example is now in customer hands.

Price: $1.7 Million

Much like the roof-less McLaren Elva, the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 are all about al fresco motoring. As the name implies, the SP1 is the single-seater option while the SP2 has just enough room for you to bring along a friend. Both cars come powered by the same naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine capable of 809 horsepower and 530 pound-feet. Unfortunately for US buyers, neither of these models are street legal in the States. But f you have the funds to afford the car’s $1.75 million price tag, getting onto a track probably won’t be an issue anyway.

Price: $1.7 Million

The McLaren Elva is one of the latest additions to the British supercar maker’s storied legacy. Even without a proper windshield (though, no option) or roof to rely on, the Elva produces 804 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque from its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. Originally McLaren announced just 399 units, but later the company dropped that to an even more scarce 249 examples. Either way, most of you will never get your hands on one – the Elva costs $1.7 million.

Pagani Huayra

Price: $1.4 Million

Inarguably one of the prettiest cars on this list, the Pagani Huayra cost a cool $1.4 million when new. Like the LaFerrari, Pagani built the Huayra in extremely limited numbers. The company hand-constructed just 100 units of the coupe between 2012 and 2018, with another 20 versions of the BC model (which makes our list further down) between 2017 and 2019. Powering each and every example was a Mercedes-AMG V12 capable of 720 horsepower (537 kilowatts).

Ferrari LaFerrari

Price: $1.4 Million

At $1.4 million new, the Ferrari LaFerrari is actually one of the most affordable supercars on this list. It’s a bargain compared to the most expensive vehicle here. Debuting in 2013 with 950 hybrid horses (708 kilowatts) and a top speed of around 220 miles per hour (354 kilometers per hour), this is still Ferrari’s fastest and most powerful production model to date. The company built just 499 examples of the coupe between 2013 and 2016.

When it comes to high-end hypercars, a few specific companies come to mind: Bugatti, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, and Pagani, among others. These manufacturers have cemented themselves as the top dogs in the supercar and hypercar space, extending to their wealthiest clientele the fastest, rarest, prettiest, and in this case, most expensive cars on the planet.

But in order to find out which of these unattainable-to-most vehicles is the priciest, we've scoured the invoice sheets and uncovered nearly 30 cars all worth $1 million or more. The group includes hybrid Ferrari convertibles, an American speed king, and even a one-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce built for royalty.

We should note, though: The prices listed here are the price of the vehicles when new. So we’re not counting auction cars like the Ferrari 250 GTO, or overpriced secondhand sales. But don’t worry, there’s still more than $100 million worth of cars here to whet your appetite. Make sure to watch the video above to see the full list.

After an annual revenue increase of 3.3 per cent for the fiscal year-end 2017, Ford Motor Company saw a significant drop in revenue for Q2 2018. The American auto giant’s net revenue fell 37 per cent due to significant sales drops in both China and Europe.

While those two regions continue to be trouble spots for Ford, sales in North America hold steady. An uptick in sales of higher-end trucks and sport-utility helped to drive revenue up by nearly 3 per cent, to $37.6 billion. This figure easily surpasses initial industry predictions.

The North American sales prove to be a bright spot for new Chief Executive Jim Hackett, who was hired in early 2017 and charged with implementing a turnaround plan. Hackett had set a goal of operating margins of 8 per cent by 2020, but the recent slumping overseas numbers have forced Ford to back away from that projection.

The Japanese automaker’s global sales forecast has improved through 2019, but they still face a second straight year of declining overall sales. Due in large part to a boom in motorcycle sales, Honda increased its profit forecast by 11.3 percent to $7 billion for the year ending in March 2019.

Even with that upgraded forecast, it still falls short of their record high for sales of $7.42 billion in March 2017. Slowing sales in China are a major contributing factor to the overall decline in sales. Honda is outperforming its Japanese rivals in China but is still being hurt by quality issues with two of its leading models, the Civic and the CR-V SUV.

After a solid North American sales performance in 2017, Fiat–Chrysler saw its 2018 Q2 profits drop 40 percent over the same period last year. The dip was not due to lagging sales but rather to a one-off €700-million charge to deal with any future settlement stemming from emissions violations in Ram pickups and Jeep Grand Cherokees from 2014–2016. In 2015, Fiat/Chrysler was issued a $105 million penalty by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for failing to complete 23 safety recalls covering more than 11 million vehicles.

The North American division has been easily outperforming its European and Asia-Pacific counterparts. Increased competition in China and pricing pressure in Europe were cited for the lagging sales in those regions. Even still, North American sales boosted total sales to a 3 percent increase in 2017.

After some tough years in the middle part of this decade for PSA Peugeot, most notably a €114-million loss in 2014, the company has rebounded as of late. The French automaker reported an overall increase of 15.4 percent in worldwide sales for year-end 2017. Much of this increase is attributed to the excellent performance of SUV sales, which accounted for 23 percent of consolidated sales.

Things continue to look rosy in 2018 as Peugeot reported a 7.8 percent increase in Q2 revenue. Industry experts attribute the increase to the company’s acquisition of Opel-Vauxhall along with an uptick in sales of higher-end Peugeot models.

The company aims to doubles sales in the ASEAN region. They recently announced a deal with Naza Corp in Malaysia to produce vehicles for the Asian market.

Although Suzuki’s global presence has diminished in recent years, its sales are currently driven by its overall strong performance in India, where it is the top automaker alongside Hyundai Motors.

The company, which operates under the name Maruti Suzuki, has recently announced that it aims to sell 2 million cars per year in India by 2020. This estimate may seem optimistic given the 6.6 per cent slide in operating profit the company reported in the second quarter of 2018. The downtown was a result of decreased sales in China, Europe and India, its biggest market.

We aren't talking about the muscle car of today, or even the one Richard Petty won races with in the early 1970s: We're talking about the ugly, god-forsaken “luxury” vehicle cursed with the Chrysler Cordoba's body and vinyl landau roof. When the fourth generation of this car was introduced in 1975, it came in at a shocking 18 feet and had shag carpeting. It was the car that would kill the Dodge Charger name until a brief comeback in the '80s and a full overhaul in 2006.

If you want to talk about actual land yachts, let's take a stroll back to 1962 and look at this 17.8-foot monster. Dodge wanted to keep up with General Motors, so it made a version of the already goliath Chrysler Newport with a standard 5.9-liter, 265-horsepower V8 engine and an optional 6.3-liter, 305-horsepower V8. It didn't work, and the 880 was gone by the end of 1965.

To get from the train station to your home in the automobile’s early days, you took a station wagon: a car with a wooden box on the back to hold luggage. To take more passengers and gear far away from the city, you took a "suburban": A station wagon mounted onto a van or truck frame. Chevrolet invented several family cars at once by debuting the Suburban in 1936; but it's rolled into the modern day as an extended, truck-based SUV.

Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham

Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham

You're going to see Cadillac a lot on this list, largely because making huge vehicles is what it does best. Weighing more than 2.5 tons and measuring 233.7 inches (about 19.5 feet) in length, this car was built to be a limousine or town car. Fitted with a 7.7-liter or 8.2-liter V8 engine, airbags, automatic level controls, and rear reading lamps, it was the height of U.S. luxury in the mid-1970s. But it had an unusually small wheelbase that made it tough to maneuver.

But it had an unusually small wheelbase that made it tough to maneuver. 

Bentley Mulsanne EWB (Extended Wheel Base)

Bentley Mulsanne EWB (Extended Wheel Base)

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/














The standard Mulsanne measures up at just 219.5 inches as standard, whereas the EWB has been stretched by a further 10 inches to give the rear seat passengers a bit more legroom. After all, as is the case with the Rolls, most of the buyers for the Mulsanne won’t actually be driving them.

The new Mulsanne was launched back in 2009 at the Pebble Beach Auto Show, and it was a real crowd pleaser. Even more so if you can get over the $300,000+ price tag, and that’s before you start adding toys. Again, similar to the Phantom, it’s doubtful that most customers will opt for the ‘base’ model. It’s one of the plushest new cars for sale out there!

With 114 paint colors, 21 carpet colors, 9 veneers, and 24 different leather hides to choose from, the specifications and configurations can vary considerably, and that’s just the off-the-shelf options; Bentley, of course, offers full customization.

Weighing in at close to 6,000 pounds wet, it needs a hefty power-plant to get everything rolling, and Bentley doesn’t disappoint. A 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V8 rests under the hood and produces 505 horsepower. The management system is pretty clever, allowing for cylinder deactivation when not needed to improve fuel efficiency.

Now let’s get back to the options: A custom luxury bottle cooler with space for two champagne bottles? Check. Hand-cut lead crystal champagne flutes? Yep. Fine duck down filled loose seating cushions? Of course. Airline style tray tables? Why not?

Not only does Bentley offer the tray table, but the EWB also has airline style seating in the rear with an extending leg rest – perfect for when the electric privacy curtains are in place.


While the Mulsanne may not be the biggest car in the world, it certainly deserves its spot in the list.

Audi A8 L

Audi A8 L

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/







You can’t really call the Audi A8 L small, but in this list of the biggest cars in the world, it’s definitely on the smaller end. It’s 32 inches shorter in length (207.3”) than the Maybach. Unlike the rest of the cars here though, this is a ‘normal’ car.

Pricing is reasonable too – starting at $82,500 (we realize that reasonable is a relative term), you’re getting a lot of car for your money. We’d have to say that the only real issue we have with the big Audi would be the electronically limited top speed of just 130 mph.

In the grand scheme of things, that sort of speed is plenty, and of course, we’d be reckless if we said that anyone should be driving even that fast on a public road. That said, it just feels wrong that a big powerful sedan like this is artificially limited.

Speaking of power – the A8 L has two choices of power, a six-cylinder 3.0 liter or a V8 4.0 liter, giving 333 hp and 450 hp respectively. Both choices come with an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission which offers smooth acceleration right up to the redline.

As you’d expect from an Audi in this class, it comes pretty well-equipped with technology and toys. It has everything from a 7-inch touchscreen with handwriting recognition to a power trunk with a hands-free release feature.

We would never dismiss American build quality or engineering, but the big European manufacturers just seem to get everything right when it comes to ownership. The cars just feel different and there’s no real logic behind that. It’s just a feeling that you get when you get behind the wheel of one and see what it can do. Not only that, but how well it does it, too.

If you’re looking for something with a sporty feel, a little more legroom, and good dynamics, the Audi A8 L should definitely be on your shopping list.

The Paramount Group ‘Marauder

The Paramount Group ‘Marauder

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/








Ok, we admit it, not exactly a production car, but there is a civilian version that can be driven on the roads, so we feel that makes it a contender on the biggest cars in the world list.

To give you some perspective, the Maybach Vision 6 measures up at around 239 inches in length while the gargantuan Marauder measures up to 241.7 inches – not even three inches longer than the Maybach.

Admittedly, it has a curb weight of nearly 22,000 pounds (without armament fitted), and it’s nearly 9 feet tall (104.7 inches). Even so … the same length as a Maybach?

Officially, the Marauder is an ‘armored, mine protected vehicle’ that’s only really available to Governments from around the world. However, if you’re a modern-day dictator with around $425,000 spare change in your pocket, it’s possible that you’d be able to purchase one as well.

The top speed for this beast is around 70 mph, although that’s largely dictated by the tires. There are some upgrades available should you want or need more power, though. As standard, the six-cylinder turbo diesel engine produces 221 horsepower which, if we’re being honest, isn’t even that good in a car that doesn’t weigh the equivalent of half of the planet.

Horsepower can be boosted up to around 300 hp, but unless you start changing other components or rubber, you’re still only hitting 70ish mph. On the standard fuel tanks, the Marauder has a range of around 430 miles, though larger range-extending tanks are available. No specs are available for the size of the standard tank, but given the weight, to get 430 miles, it must be BIG. Don’t even ask about the fuel economy.

It should also be noted that the 430-mile range is for the 4X4 version. Marauder also makes a 6X6 just in case you need some serious off-road capability. Why settle for a Land Rover when you could have one of these instead?!

1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham (Tenth Generation)

1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham (Tenth Generation)

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/










At 233.7 inches in length, the big Caddy could give both the Rolls-Royce and the Maybach a fair run for the crown of longest car in the world. Rather comically in today’s world, the actual wheelbase was just 133 inches, meaning the car made do with 100 inches – just over eight feet – of overhang.

The Sixty Special was considered to be the absolute top of the line offering from Cadillac, often being sold to be converted to use as a limousine or plush ‘airport’ car. There were two options for power: a 7.7-liter or 8.2-liter V8, which both sound impressive, but power was heavily restricted thanks to tighter emission controls.

The 1974 model was fitted with an “Air Cushion Restraint System” (aka, airbags), but it proved to be so unpopular that it was removed from the options for the 1976 model. It also had rear-seat reading lamps, dual-comfort front seating, and automatic level control.

Thanks to the size and the toys fitted, the curb weight was well over 5,000 pounds, and as much as 5,400 lb when fully loaded.

Looking at it from a modern viewpoint, it was hideously ugly, slow, ill-handling, and badly built, but back then … this was the Daddy of all things Cadillac.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedan

Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedan

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/















We’ve already mentioned the extended wheelbase version, but the sedan is no pocket-rocket either. Measuring up at 230 inches, it’s almost ten inches shorter than the long-wheelbase version.

Let’s deal with the elephant in the room first – the starting price is about $450,000, but many of the customers buying the Phantom have a laundry list of options to add on. In fact, the average ‘extras’ bill runs to $150,000, meaning the average shipping price is about $600,000.

It’s built on the all-new aluminum ‘Architecture of Luxury’ platform (yes really), but even using lightweight construction materials for the platform, this behemoth weighs in at 5,900 lbs – it’s not exactly nimble on its feet.

Even taking into account all that weight, it will still propel itself to a top-speed of 155mph and a zero to sixty-two time of just 5.3 seconds (but of course sprinting in a Rolls is just so uncouth).

The speed comes from a 6.75-liter V12 with twin-turbos fitted, giving it 563 hp, all coupled to an 8-speed satellite-aided ZF automatic transmission. In any other vehicle, this would make for some sporty motoring.

It’s said that some of the design elements have been inspired by the futuristic 100EX concept car, although we think it’s difficult to spot those elements (unless you happen to be part of the design team). You can clearly see, however, that it certainly retains some of the great heritage associated with Rolls-Royce styling, particularly at the rear.

Inside the Phantom is as you’d expect – all super-soft leather, deep wood veneers, metal accents, rear-seat entertainment system (most owners won’t actually be driving the car), Wi-Fi hotspot and of course, the obligatory drinks cabinet; it is a Rolls-Royce, after all.

The Phantom sedan may not be the biggest car in the world, but it’s definitely one of the most luxurious.

Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6 Cabriolet

Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6 Cabriolet

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/








The Maybach Vision 6 was unveiled late 2017 in California, a perfect setting for the all-electric, super cool concept. There aren’t any actual size specifications due to the fact it’s a concept and Mercedes-Maybach are adamant it’s not going into production any time soon, but it’s definitely a contender for a slot in the world’s biggest cars.

The one big (literally) measurement to take away – it’s just short of 20 feet in length. Or in other words, around the same as the extended wheelbase version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom (239”). And it seats just two people.

Mercedes-Maybach made the Vision 6 soft top as a ‘vision of the future vehicles it could be producing in the year 2035 and beyond’, meaning that there’s no pricing and no chance of buying one – it really is a one-off.

The lumpy bit under the hood is an all-electric motor that will deliver around 750 horsepower, have a 0 – 60 mph time of under four seconds, and a range of 200 miles. Maybach also says that thanks to their new ‘super’ charger system, you’ll be able to charge it enough for a 60 mile trip in just 5 minutes.

Frankly, given that it’s a concept, none of the tech works and the powertrain isn’t actually a production-ready model which means they can say anything they want about the capabilities; it will fly to the moon and back on one ten-minute charge. Really? Really.

Unlike a number of concept vehicles, the Vision 6 Cabriolet has had some serious time and money put into it – the floor is wooden and inlaid with an aluminum trim, the fabric top has been interwoven with gold threads, and the rear of the car is designed to remind you of a luxury yacht.

As for the rest of the styling – an extended hood announces its presence way before it should. It’s a beautifully designed affair that opens up either side, a little like the cars of yesteryear – there’ll certainly be no clearance issues here.

Despite being gargantuan, the Maybach would have to be one of the better-looking ‘options’ when it comes to the biggest cars in the world.

McLaren Elva - $1.7 Million

 McLaren Elva - $1.7 Million

Price: $1.7 Million

The McLaren Elva is one of the latest additions to the British super car maker’s storied legacy. Even without a proper windshield (though, no option) or roof to rely on, the Elva produces 804 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque from its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. Originally McLaren announced just 399 units, but later the company dropped that to an even more scarce 249 examples. Either way, most of you will never get your hands on one – the Elva costs $1.7 million.

Price: $1.4 Million

Inarguably one of the prettiest cars on this list, the Pagani Huayra cost a cool $1.4 million when new. Like the La Ferrari, Pagani built the Huayra in extremely limited numbers. The company hand-constructed just 100 units of the coupe between 2012 and 2018, with another 20 versions of the BC model (which makes our list further down) between 2017 and 2019. Powering each and every example was a Mercedes-AMG V12 capable of 720 horsepower (537 kilowatts).

Price;- $1.4 Million

At $1.4 million new, the Ferrari La Ferrari is actually one of the most affordable super cars on this list. 

It’s a bargain compared to the most expensive vehicle here. Debuting in 2013 with 950 hybrid horses {708 kilowatts} and a top speed of around 220 miles per hour {354 kilometres per hour}, this is still Ferrari’s fastest and most powerful production model to date. 

The company built just 499 examples of the coupe between 2013 and 2016.

KOENIGSEGG CCXR TREVITA // $4.8 MILLION //

The most expensive street-legal production car in the world, this is coated with real diamonds. 

Yes, you read that right. ‘Trevita’ is an abbreviation translating into ‘three whites’. 

The carbon fibers are indeed coated with a diamond dust-impregnated resin, called the Koenigsegg Proprietary Diamond Weave. 

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/
https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/

This technology transformed the fibres from the traditional black to shining, silvery white, making the bodywork of this car renowned throughout for its unique design and perfection. 

And that’s not all. Beneath the coating is a 4.8 liter, dual-supercharged V8 having a total output of 1,004 horsepower and 797 pound-feet of torque. This makes it well-equipped at overtaking semis in the freeway. 

This car comes with a one-of-its-kind dual carbon rear wing, icon ell exhaust system, airbags, ABS powered carbon ceramic brakes, paddle-shift, infotainment system, chronometer instrument cluster, tires monitoring systems along with a hydraulic system. 

Only three cars of this model had been initially decided upon, before getting reduced to two, because the carbon fiber made it too difficult and time-consuming for regular manufacture.

PAGANI HUAYRA IMOLA // $5.4 MILLION////

Named after a famous Italian racing track, Huayra Imola’s technical specs have long been shrouded in mystery. 

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/
https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/
The manufacturer has recently released the technical details of the supercar. Mercedes-AMG developed a twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 engine specifically for Pagani. 

The engine pumps magnificent 827 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque. 

The seven-speed automatic gearbox makes Imola more powerful than any other car in the Pagani Huayra series. 

Some of the spectacular features of the car include a large seven-section diffuser, a large roof scoop, more definite side-skirts, a shark fin, and integrated spotlights. 

The gargantuan wing installed at the back of the car makes it look more aggressive. 

The engineers developed an exclusive paint finish to shed extra weight. 

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/

They revised the geometry of the design to give ultimate suspension to the car. 

They installed active dampers along with a front-lift system to keep the car stable under hard acceleration and braking. 

Huayra Imola also features an improved Brembo brake package and especially designed Pirelli Trofeo R tires. 

Only five examples of Pagani Huayra Imola would ever be produced. And each is priced at a staggering $5.4 million.

BUGATTI DIVO ///// $6 MILLION /////

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/

 Bugatti Divo followed after the immense success of Chiron, however with exotic and much more exclusive specs. 

As the creators boast, Bugatti Divo is the most agile and dynamic car they’ve ever created. 

The car generates 456kg downforce at the top speed. 

The extra drag produced by the aerodynamic elements has reduced the top speed of Divo to 236mhp, 25mph lower than Chiron’s. 

With 1500 horsepower, Divo accelerates from 0 to 62mph in 2.4 seconds. 

While Chiron focused on top speed, Divo offers enhanced agility and driving dynamics. 

The redesigned exhaust system of the car features quad exhaust pipes and a retractable rear wing. 

To provide an improved downforce, Divo is equipped with a NACA duct on the roof that channels air to the rear of the car. 

The car also uses improved radiator cooling for the brakes, which is achieved by two vents, one installed on the bonnet and the other on the front wheel arches. 

Inside the car, the steering wheel is embellished with soft faux suede. The interior also features Alcantara upholstery. 

To save weight, the storage lockers and center console have been removed. 

And a carbon-fiber trim has been used throughout the interior. What Divo retains from Chiron is its quad-turbocharged W16 engine. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission has been retained too.

MERCEDES-MAYBACH EXELERO ///// $8 MILLION //////

 Built by a German luxury car manufacturer, Maybach Exelero is known for its peculiar design and price tag of $8 million. 

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/


Only one model of the car has ever been produced. 

Maybach Exelero combines the elegance and quality of high-end limousines. 

The car is powered by a V-12 twin-turbo engine that produces 725 pounds of torque at 2500 RPM. 

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/

The engine, mounted at sixty degrees, incorporates 12 valves with 3 cylinders each. 

Exelero boasts a top speed of 218mph and can accelerate from 0 to 62mhp in just 4.4 seconds. 

The car was commissioned by a tire company that wanted to test its new line of tire family. 

Needless to say, the tires of Exelero are of magnificent quality. 

Each tire features a code, specifying its dimensions and limitations. 

And to prevent the wheels from locking up during braking, the car is equipped with ABS. 

The interior of the car is embellished with dark and red leather, neoprene, and glossy black carbon fiber. 

Mercedes-Maybach Exelero was featured in singer Jay-Z’s music video. And the only model of this car is owned by rapper Birdman.

BUGATTI CENTODIECI /// $9 MILLION //////

With this supercar, Bugatti pays homage to its 110-year old legacy. 

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/



The word ‘Centodieci’ means 110 in Italian. 

The car is equipped with an 8.0-liter W-16 engine capable of producing a staggering 1600 horsepower. 

It can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.4 seconds, making Centodieci the quickest-accelerating Bugatti currently on the road. 

The design of the car is heavily influenced by Romano Artioli’s iconic EB110, a supercar produced in the early ‘90s. Without losing the charm and character of EB110, Centodieci is designed to serve as the modern interpretation of shape and technology. 

Its angular silhouette, glass engine cover, small horseshoe grille, and air vents take inspiration from EB110. 

The absence of the C-shaped pillar gives this car an even cooler look. 

The aerodynamics of Centodieci allows for dynamic lateral acceleration. 

The distinct modern aesthetic of the supercar makes up for its slightly lower top speed (of 379khp) than Bugatti Chiron. 

Centodieci is 44 pounds lighter than Bugatti Chiron. 

The cabin of the car is a perfect balance between sportiness and luxury. 

https://carsworld100595.blogspot.com/

The flat-bottom steering wheels, blue controls, premium sound system, and a cooled glovebox are some of the many features of Centodieci’s luxurious interior.
