Bugatti is one of the most famous car brands in the world. Although it is a luxury brand, many industry experts considered it an entry-level luxury brand.
Bugatti is a French car manufacturer that specialises in high-performance sports cars, founded in 1909 by Ettore Bugatti. The brand was sold to Volkswagen in 1998, but the successors of Ettore Bugatti have not been involved with the company since then.
What is the price of Bugatti in South Africa?
Bugatti prices have risen since 2017, according to Classic Cars magazine. In 2017, they sold a 1937 Type 57S Atalante for €9.84 million (R160 million). The average price of a Bugatti is R25 million.
For instance, a 1937 Type 57S Atalante that was sold in 2018 fetched €9.84 million (around R157 million).
On average, a Bugatti vehicle costs between R35 million and R90 million in South Africa, which includes seven hypercars that are on sale. These include the Chiron and Divo models, both of which retail for around R90m. The cheaper models start at around R25m with the more expensive ones costing more than R40m.
Why does Bugatti have so much appeal?
Although Bugatti is an expensive brand, many people still want to own one. In fact, the demand for these cars was so high that new models were put on hold from 1998 until 2008. During this time there was no official production of Bugattis but many vehicles were created by private individuals and other companies. For example, in 1998 VW tried to build a modern version called EB110 but it only made around 140 units before being discontinued due to poor sales and the death of its creator.
The manufacturer has been dormant for several years now but in December 2018 we finally got some good news: Volkswagen announced its plans to revive Bugatti as a luxury car manufacturer with two upcoming models scheduled for release by 2022! It’s not clear whether they will be supercars or sports cars yet but if you want one you should start saving up now because these babies are going to cost between $2 million and $3 million each!
Conclusion
Bugatti is a popular brand among car collectors, and South Africa has seven cars to choose from. If you have the money, then this could be your next purchase!
