A red and black Bugatti Chiron allegedly owned by Dominican recording artist El Alfa suffered extensive damage from a fire while parked in a garage in Miami. Two videos posted on Instagram by supercar.fails show the aftermath with the burned Chiron sitting next to a black Ferrari that was not affected by the fire.
The Chiron will need a new bonnet, fender, wheel, tire, driver’s side door, and window, as all the aforementioned parts have huge black marks from the fire. We believe that the French hypercar will need a lot more than a simple paint job to get back in original condition, with the high temperatures melting glass, rubber, carbon fiber, and plastic parts in the affected area. Thankfully someone managed to extinguish the fire before the whole car and its surroundings burned to crisp.

There is no official information on the incident but, according to the post, this was no accident and it was purposely set ablaze by someone. The Chiron starts from a cool $2.9 million plus options, and we are sure that the repairs will be costly. As a reminder, the hypercar is fitted with a quad-turbo 8.0-liter W16 engine producing 1,479 hp (1,103 kW / 1,500 PS).

While we can’t confirm that this Chiron belongs to El Alfa, a car with the same specification is appearing in a music video from February 2021, and in many of his Instagram posts. El Alfa also owns a bright blue Rolls-Royce Cullinan that happened to be a shooting target a few weeks ago. Thankfully, in both cases, there were no injuries reported.
