Rapper 50 Cent isn’t the only artist to recently pick up a Bugatti, as fellow rapper French Montana has just done the same, getting to keys to a used Bugatti Veyron. Or, as the rapper wrote on Instagram, a ‘Buggatti.’
It’s claimed that Montana, real name Karim Krabouch, purchased the French hypercar from Los Angeles exotic car dealership RD Whittington who kindly delivered the Veyron to him in a pristine white transporter truck.

Montana’s Veyron is painted in a gorgeous two-tone design of black and blue and sits on a set of gloss black wheels. The artist reportedly paid roughly $1.5 million for the new ride which isn’t all that bad when you consider the blistering performance offered by the Veyron and that just 450 examples were produced worldwide. A $1.5 million price tag also means the Veyron is roughly half the price of a new Chiron.
While the Bugatti Veyron hasn’t skyrocketed in value like some other limited-edition hypercars from the last decade, such as the LaFerrari, prices are slowly increasing. When sales of the Veyron first commenced in the U.S., it was priced from roughly $1.3 million.
Powering the Veyron is a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine that is good for a total of 987 hp, all of which is sent to the pavement through all four wheels. That’s a huge amount of power for a road car. Here’s hoping Montana’s driving skills are better than his typing ones, then.
