Nigerian Grammy-winning artist Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has taken delivery of a customized Bugatti Chiron VXX hypercar. The vehicle, valued at approximately ₦9 billion, was created by Dubai-based luxury car customization shop Venuum. The hypercar was unveiled in a ceremony captured on video and shared by Venuum on its Instagram page. Burna Boy attended the event, marking a significant milestone for the artist.
The customized Bugatti Chiron VXX features a unique design, including a French Racing Blue front fascia, an iconic horseshoe grille with a bold yellow number 7, and a center racing stripe in French tri-color livery. The interior boasts customized blue sport seats with yellow contrast stitching and a gold-threaded grid design. Venuum described the project as a one-of-one creation, built with character, presence, and an unmistakable identity.
Venuum shared a statement accompanying the video, expressing pride in delivering the vehicle to Burna Boy. The company wished him enjoyment and highlighted the collaboration between Dubai and Lagos. The Bugatti Chiron VXX is a rare addition to Burna Boy's collection of exotic cars, which already includes a Lamborghini Revuelto and a Rolls-Royce Spectre.
The reported ₦9 billion valuation of the hypercar has been cited by Abuja Car, the dealership involved in the vehicle's sale. However, the exact purchase price has not been independently confirmed. Burna Boy had previously teased his desire for a "Bugatti Venuum Chiron, something one of one." The Chiron VXX is significantly more expensive than the standard 2020 Bugatti Chiron, which has a basic price of US$2.998m.
According to Bugatti's website, the standard 2020 Chiron's price includes shipping, duties, taxes, and charges. The customized Chiron VXX is a unique creation, making it a standout in Burna Boy's collection. The artist's love for exotic cars is well-documented, and this latest acquisition further solidifies his reputation as a connoisseur of luxury vehicles.
PUNCH Online had reported in May that Venuum announced plans to create a bespoke carbon-fiber widebody kit for Burna Boy's Bugatti Chiron. The company described the project as the world's first widebody Bugatti Chiron. The collaboration between Venuum and Burna Boy has resulted in a truly unique vehicle that reflects the artist's style and personality.
The delivery of the customized Bugatti Chiron VXX marks a new milestone in Burna Boy's career, showcasing his success and passion for luxury cars. The hypercar is a rare and exclusive vehicle that is sure to turn heads on the road.
