The Bugatti Vision GT is Back!

The concept that laid the groundwork for the Bugatti Chiron makes its way to a new owner in Southern California.

Just over a year ago a Saudi Arabian Prince bought the Bugatti Vision GT. Just last week the Vision GT landed in the garage of a very rich car collector in Southern California. Unconfirmed rumors suggest it’s Mr. Hezy Shaked, one of the C-suite guys at Tilly’s. A YouTuber we follow, effspot, was there to document the effort from airport to air-conditioned garage. Though no one is saying how much he paid to get the one-of-a-kind Bugatti, we know that delivery guy sure earned his wages unloading that thing.

If you want to get to the incredible W16 startup noises, skip to 6:20 in the video. That’s what 1,650 hp and 1,165 lb-ft of torque sounds like. Probably “feels like” in person. A team of people load and unload the Bugatti with painstaking precision. The transporter even used brand new pieces of lumber to position the ramps perfectly while he rolled the car on and off the truck. The transport truck is equal parts commercial vehicle and pope-mobile, with its glass windows affording everyone a spectacular view of the rare cargo.

Inside the collectors garage are some seriously rare cars. Directly next to the Vision GT is the Bugatti Veyron Vitesse L’Or Rouge (aka, the Hellbug). Along the other wall is a Lamborghini Centenario Roadster, the first delivered to the United States, a Ferrari LaFerrari, and a McLaren P1. Talk about good taste. Accounted for, but not present, is the “Hell Bee” Bugatti Chiron, which is the first Chiron to be delivered in the US. Across the last wall is a giant mural of the Hell Bee on canvas.

How much is something like this worth? No one has confirmed any pricing, but an earlier title for this video may have let something slip. The video title currently reads “The Mysterious BUGATTI VISION GT is Back” when it read, back on November 2nd, “The $5.5 Million BUGATTI VISION GT is Impractical But Beautiful.” How much do you think it cost? Let us know in the comments below.
