Perhaps fortunately or unfortunately, depending on insurance considerations, it’s worth noting that Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t the driver at the time of the alleged incident involving his bodyguard and the high-end and exceedingly rare Bugatti Veyron Vitesse crashing into a wall in Majorca. Witnessing such a unique and highly sought-after automobile in such a damaged state is disheartening for car enthusiasts worldwide. While money might not pose a challenge for the $115 million footballer, no amount of wealth can serve as a replacement for this uncommon vehicle, potentially one of just three in existence.
Delving into the statistics, the Bugatti Veyron Vitesse emerges as an extraordinary masterpiece, so fasten your seat belts. Merely 450 units of the Bugatti Veyron were manufactured, consisting of 300 coupes and 150 Grand Sports models. The exclusive pathway to owning a Vitesse was through the acquisition of a ‘Grand Sport’ trim, of which a mere 92 examples were crafted globally. During its production era, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse proudly held the title of the world’s fastest convertible, boasting a remarkable top speed of 254 MPH. This achievement has since been surpassed by the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder (265.6 MPH) and the Koenigsegg Agera RS (278 MPH).

Regarding Cristiano Ronaldo’s personal Grand Sport Vitesse, repairing the vehicle is bound to be a substantially costly endeavor, considering its entire exterior is constructed from carbon fiber. The Vitesse showcases an array of customized exterior modifications from its original form, making it far more complex than simply transplanting parts from another wrecked Bugatti Veyron. Notably, on the front left side of the car, which was the point of impact, larger-than-standard air vents were incorporated. Assuming that the vehicle’s side also sustained damage, expanded air vents were integrated into the Vitesse model’s design to aid in cooling the enhanced turbochargers.
It remains uncertain whether Ronaldo’s personal model shares the same Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) as one of the three examples initially showcased at the 2013 Geneva Motorshow. Nonetheless, the car bears a striking resemblance to a 2013 model that was sold through Romans International (images provided below). Could this be a mere coincidence? The answer is likely in the negative.
