These are probably not the ones T.Hansen would throw at you for a few hundred kroner. But nevertheless, the new Bugatti Tourbillon is seen on steel wheels.
A Bugatti Tourbillon costs from 32.6 million kroner. Even if it stands on steel wheels. Yes, steel wheels.
At least that's how a copy of the brand new hypercar has appeared on the internet. Bugatti itself has not yet commented on why the car is equipped with steel wheels, which only makes it all the more strange.
Unlike many other automakers with really expensive model programs, Bugatti's configurator is not publicly available. But it's hard to imagine that steel wheels are part of the package.
Nevertheless, there are indeed steel wheels on the car here. According to The Drive, there may be a completely logical explanation for the strange wheel mounting. It could be that these are wheels that the car is fitted with when it is transported back and forth.

This deliberately avoids damage to the 'real' rims that customers have paid hundreds of thousands of kroner for. On the other hand, the wheels are not the largest in the world. With a 345/30 R21 size on the rear axle, you can get wheels for a mid-size SUV that are larger.
That said, there aren't many other places in the world where you can get an 8.3-liter V16 engine with 1,800 horsepower. And certainly not if the car can also be equipped with license plates.
But what happens to the wheels once the car is delivered? We don't know. But a good bet is that Bugatti takes them back to the factory in Molsheim, France. Then they can be used for the next delivery and the next again. And so on.
And admittedly, now we're making it sound like there are piles of Bugatti Tourbillons. That's true with modifications. Because only 250 copies of the car will be built.
That's half as many as Bugatti built for its predecessor, the Chiron. It took 8 years to build. So expect the carmakers in France to be twice as 'fast' this time. Maybe.

Bugatti is not officially present in Denmark. However, several of the brand's models have been and are registered here. This applies especially to cars from before World War II.
But there are also a handful of Danes who own the brand new ones, such as the Veyron and Chiron. Whether the new Tourbillon is on its way here, time will tell.
