Owner Paid $20k Repair Bill After Bugatti Chiron Hit A Massive Pothole, Damaging A Tyre And Wheel
Owner paid $20,000 repair bill after Bugatti Chiron hit a massive pothole, damaging a rear tyre and wheel.
The owner, described as carefree person, initially drove on the rim before putting the Bugatti Chiron on a trailer.
Cost of replacement parts and repairs for limited-run Bugatti Chiron hypercar can cost more than some luxury cars.
Unlike the Chiron, the wheels for Veyron, which are meant to be replaced every 10,000 miles, cost $50,000.
Also, Bugatti recommend changing the tyres of Veyron which cost $38,000 every 2 to 3 years.
A footage shared shows a Bugatti Chiron rolling down from a trailer with a missing rear tyre onto a repair shop that contains other supercars like Ferrari Boxer and 458 Speciale.
The clip was posted to supercar broker Jack Murphy’s @jpmcars Tiktok account along with the heading “This was expensive”, hinting on the high repair bill the owner of the $3 million Bugatti Chiron was facing.
The cost of replacement parts and repairs for limited-run Bugatti Chiron hypercar can cost more than some luxury cars, so seeing one drive without a tyre and on bare alloy wheel can be disturbing.
According to Jack, the Bugatti Chiron hypercar left tyre was lost after hitting a massive pothole. The owner, his client which he described as carefree, initially drove on the rim before putting it on a trailer.
Fortunately for his client, the repair bill cost just $20,000 to replace the rear tyre and the wheel and the Bugatti Chiron was back on the road.
Unlike the Chiron, the wheels for Veyron, which are meant to be replaced every 10,000 miles (16,000 km), cost $50,000 ($12,500/wheel). Also, Bugatti recommend changing the tyres of Veyron which cost $38,000 ($9,500/tyre) every 2 to 3 years.
