A rare Bugatti Chiron is for sale for £3million – because it is chrome.

The 300mph supercar boasts a staggering 8 litre, W-16, 1,479 bhp engine.

It can do 0-60mph in just 2.3 seconds.

Only 500 Chirons were ever made and it’s understood just three have the mirror-like, silver bodywork.

The model is favoured by celebs like footy legend Cristiano Ronaldo and boxing ring king Floyd Mayweather.

They cost about £2.2million when they came out eight years ago.

But this 2017 Bugatti Chiron ‘La Mer Argentée‘ – which translates as The Silver Sea – is being sold by RM Sotheby’s stands out because of its unique colour.

It has just done just 2,956 miles – just 492 per year, or 1.3 a day.

A Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “Just 500 of these incredible machines were ever built.

“And among that limited number, ‘La Mer Argentée’ stands alone as totally unique.

“Ordered in April 2016, this spectacular hypercar was one of the first three examples to be delivered, each of which left the Molsheim atelier at the same time.

“It shares its 1,479-horsepower alloy 8-litre quad-turbocharged W-16 engine with its stablemates, but boasts a degree of personalisation rarely seen.

“The car was finished in Nocturne over Argent Metallic, with a matching Argent Metallic signature line, engine cover, and horseshoe grille—one of just three cars to feature such a front-end treatment. “

They added: “The interior was sumptuously finished in Beluga Black leather with Italian Red quilting to the seats and matching seat belts.

“Today, this significant hypercar is still in the care of its first and only owner.

“It is offered with its Bugatti owner’s handbook and manuals, its original sales invoices, plus a number of invoices relating to its numerous factory upgrades and servicing.

“With such limited production numbers and a level of desirability almost unmatched by modern hypercars, the public offering of any Bugatti Chiron should make collectors take note.

“The availability of a modestly driven, one-owner example is even more significant, while the unique specification of this particular car only adds to the appeal.”

The auction takes place in Paris on January 31.

The guide price is between £2.35million and £3million.
