Fellow plebeians, now is our one chance to chuckle at the most expensive

new car

from a production manufacturer ever made. The $18,795,716

Bugatti La Voiture Noire

was captured leaving the

Geneva Motor Show

floor, and it appears

Bugatti

still has a lot of work to do on the one-of-one custom

supercar

. Not only did the car seemingly move by electric power, the brake calipers are seen rotating with the wheels.

YouTuber SellerieCimes

was walking around the Palexpo convention center following the

Geneva Motor Show

as manufacturers cleaned up and prepared their vehicles for transportation. At any

auto show

, that’s typically a great time to see some of the cars in motion, which adds a new dynamic to certain rare vehicles that are carefully guarded and only seen at a stand-still.

Take the La Voiture Noire, for example. Bugatti was one of the biggest talks of the show after debuting an eight-figure supercar inspired by one of the most elegant cars ever made, the Type 57 SC Atlantic. But Bugatti wasn’t fully prepared to show a finished product, so it put a display car on the stand for show. According to

The Verge

, the full engineering and homologation process will likely take another 30 months to finish.

The Noire lifted its mask in this video. There is no startup or exhaust sound when the car is driving, leaving us to believe the show car had some sort of electric motivation in order to move short distances.

Furthermore, a closer look at the wheels will reveal the calipers rotate, meaning they aren’t functional. AE also pointed out that the exhaust tips were

just for show

.

The finished Noire will surely be a masterpiece and live on in

automotive history

for the rest of our lives. But it’s still funny to see such an expensive car with fake parts.
