Bugatti: customer bought the Bouteille Noire at auction
SPECIAL CUSTOMIZATION After a first successful collaboration in 2018, Bugatti and Champagne Carbon once again combine their expertise and developed a customized champagne bottle including a storage case.
Bugatti and Champagne Carbon presented the "Bouteille Noire" at an exclusive event at The Londoner hotel, the world's first super boutique residence. At the subsequent auction, a long-standing Bugatti customer was able to secure the unique piece for his private collection.
La Voiture Noire 1 is the source of inspiration
Bugatti enthusiasts admire the glorious tradition of the brand from Molsheim as much as the current hyper sports cars. The new owner of "La Bouteille Noire" will be working with Bugatti's design director Achim Anscheidt in the coming weeks to incorporate further design elements.
"The Black Bottle" was handcrafted over hours to achieve the same shape and perfect finish as its source of inspiration, the La Voiture Noire 1 model, which was made as a one-off for a Bugatti enthusiast.
Carbon fiber material as used in hyper sports cars
Bugatti partner IXO invested around 150 hours in the manufacture of the cassette. A total of 314 individual panels made of prepreg carbon fiber form a cocoon containing a thermodynamic solid-state cooling cell and 14 high-end fans.
The carbon fiber material is identical to that used by Bugatti for its hypercars. To open the bottle, all that is needed is a gentle press on a stainless steel button. "La Bouteille Noire" rests on an illuminated red base, modeled on the design of the taillight of La Voiture Noire.
The interior is lined with fine brown leather, the same material used in La Voiture Noire.
