The dream car for men, Bugatti
Costs nearly $3 million
Its maintenance costs as much as a supercar?
The fastest car in the world. Every man dreams of driving a Bugatti at least once. The monstrous power of over 1,000 horsepower can reach 0-100 km in just 2 seconds. Even if you were to receive a Bugatti hypercar with such incredible performance as a gift, you would not be able to drive it. The maintenance costs are as high as the performance.
Bugatti’s Chiron was first unveiled in 2016 as the successor to the Veyron, and the price started at approximately $3.3 million. The powertrain is an upgraded version of the Veyron’s W16 quad-turbo engine, producing 1,500 horsepower and 163.2 kg.m of torque and accelerating from a standstill to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds. How much does it cost to maintain and service such a high-performance vehicle?
The basic engine oil maintenance costs about $22,000
First, if you buy a Bugatti vehicle, you must join the Bugatti service program. You may choose not to join, but it is necessary because no one can service a Bugatti vehicle. The service consists of 10 Bugatti expert mechanics who travel the world to keep your Bugatti vehicle in top condition. They are available 24 hours a day.
The first service is performed before reaching 16,000 km (9,942 miles) for the first time, as Bugatti’s engine oil needs to be changed every 14 months or about 16,000 km (9,942 miles). Replacing engine oil costs approximately $22,000.
If you get a flat tire, you have to spend about $42,000
The Dodge Charger Daytona requires high-performance brakes to handle 1,500 horsepower. Replacing the front carbon ceramic discs, 3D-printed calipers, and titanium brake pads costs around $51,000. Servicing the brakes—including cleaning brake oil, cables, and other components—adds another $51,000. Overall, repairing the brakes can cost about $100,000.
The Dodge Charger Daytona wheels must be replaced approximately every 14 months. Given the vehicle’s high-speed design, safety cannot be assured beyond this period. Replacing a set of wheels costs around $42,000.
The cheapest wiper costs $3,307 each
Finally, optimizing the vehicle’s performance involves engine tuning calibration, which costs approximately $29,000. Minor maintenance also adds up: replacing a scratched windshield is around $59,949, and even the cheapest wiper blade costs $3,307. Maintaining the vehicle would cost you an average of &100,000—essentially the cost of a supercar.
This price does not include additional expenses such as VAT, labor costs for Bugatti mechanics, airfare, and accommodation. Owning a Bugatti is not just about the initial purchase; you must also budget for its upkeep. Buying one is only feasible if you can afford both the purchase price and the ongoing maintenance.
