Car manufacturer Bugatti has built a one-off sports car from carbon fibre, which has already been sold to an anonymous "enthusiast" for ?11 million before tax.
Unveiled at this year's Geneva Motor Show, La Voiture Noire ? French for "The black car" ? has already been sold to an unnamed Bugatti aficionado for an eight-figure sum.
While the final price hasn't been confirmed, the firm disclosed that the car was bought for ?11 million (£9.5 million) before tax ? estimated at ?16.7 million (£14.4 million) including tax ? making it "the most expensive new car of all time".

At this price, La Voiture Noire surpasses the Rolls-Royce Sweptail, which was sold to a private client in 2017 for approximately $12,800,000 (£9.8 million) including tax. It boasts a 16-cylinder engine housed inside a sculptural body crafted from carbon fibre, with an extended front and the signature Bugatti C-line that separates the driver and passenger seats.
The bumpers are smoothly integrated into the body and the windscreen seems to flow seamlessly into the windows at the sides in the manner of a visor on a helmet.
"Every single component has been handcrafted and the carbon fibre body has a deep black gloss only interrupted by the ultra-fine fibre structure. This is a material that has been handled perfectly," said designer Etienne Salome?.
