This Bugatti Chiron Set On Fire In Miami Will Be A Very Expensive Fix

A red and black Bugatti Chiron allegedly owned by Dominican recording artist El Alfa suffered extensive damage from a fire while parked in a garage in Miami. Two videos posted on Instagram by supercar.fails show the aftermath with the burned Chiron sitting next to a black Ferrari that was not affected by the fire.

The Chiron will need a new bonnet, fender, wheel, tire, driver’s side door, and window, as all the aforementioned parts have huge black marks from the fire. We believe that the French hypercar will need a lot more than a simple paint job to get back in original condition, with the high temperatures melting glass, rubber, carbon fiber, and plastic parts in the affected area. Thankfully someone managed to extinguish the fire before the whole car and its surroundings burned to crisp.

There is no official information on the incident but, according to the post, this was no accident and it was purposely set ablaze by someone. The Chiron starts from a cool $2.9 million plus options, and we are sure that the repairs will be costly. As a reminder, the hypercar is fitted with a quad-turbo 8.0-liter W16 engine producing 1,479 hp (1,103 kW / 1,500 PS).

While we can’t confirm that this Chiron belongs to El Alfa, a car with the same specification is appearing in a music video from February 2021, and in many of his Instagram posts. El Alfa also owns a bright blue Rolls-Royce Cullinan that happened to be a shooting target a few weeks ago. Thankfully, in both cases, there were no injuries reported.

Mini Bugatti Centodieci Carved From Wood Is Pretty Close To The Real Thing

Bugatti will build just 10 examples of the Chiron-based Centodieci with prices starting at €8 million ($9.7 million) a pop, meaning very few will ever have the opportunity to see one in the flesh. A Centodieci model made from wood is even rarer.

This Centodieci model was created by YouTuber ND – Woodworking Art who has a wealth of experience creating scale models of real-life vehicles out of wood. This isn’t some pint-sized model like a Hot Wheels car either and is comparable in size to the ride-on vehicles made for young children.

The 17-minute video details the entire build process of the car, starting out with the wooden chassis before the craftsman behind this stunning creation cuts the wheels and carves them with simple hand tools. Work is then done on the propulsion system which takes the form of a small electric motor powering the rear wheels.

With the model up and running, the difficult task of crafting the complex bodywork begins. Bugatti really went to town on the exterior design of the Centodieci to ensure it looks significantly different than the Chiron. By using nothing more than a small chainsaw, the YouTuber was able to mimic the same overall shape of the Centodieci before using a chisel and a hammer to refine and perfect the design. The model is so accurate and has been so well made that it even features a fully functional interior carved entirely from wood.
