Need for speed, Erling? Man City star Haaland splurges on rare £4MILLION Bugatti – which is one of only 250 worldwide – and can go up to 277mph
Erling Haaland has reportedly splashed out £4 million on a rare supercar.
The Manchester City ace who recently signed a lucrative nine-and-a-half year £200m contract back in January has teamed up with billionaire car collector Ole Ertvaag to buy the space-age Bugatti Tourbillion.
Only 250 copies of the car have been made, with the car being launched in the summer of 2024 as the successor of the highly sought after Bugatti Chiron.
It has a 1,800 horsepower petrol and electric hybrid V16 engine which can take the car from zero to 62mph in an incredible speed of two seconds, and can reach speeds of 124mph in just a mere five seconds.
The lavish wheels has a top speed of 277mph and has space-age features such as ‘butterfly doors.
The car has a retail price of £3.2 million but the Norwegian duo will have to contribute more in tax due to the strict low emissions laws Norway have in place.

Haaland and Ertvaag – who is a season ticket holder at City rivals Manchester City – are also expected to fork out a fortune on customising the car to their own personalised specifications.
Due to the Scandinavian’s strict laws on petrol-driven hybrid cars, the pair are hoping to register the motor before April 1 when laws change are coming in to make import taxes even higher.
A source told the Sun: ‘The taxes will push the cost of the car to £4 million provided it’s registered in time.
‘But the cost is not a deal breaker for people as rich as Erling Haaland and he will love the chance of being able to drive his Bugatti on trips back home.
‘It’s a truly amazing car both in terms of looks and performance – and the only question remaining is whether it will be delivered in sky blue Man City colours.’
The limited vehicle is the latest addition to Haaland’s luxury car collection which also features a Mercedes AMG, a Ferrari Monza SP2, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a Range Rover Sport and an Audi RS6 Avant Quattro.
He last big car purchase before this was a stunning orange Porsche 911 GT3 which is worth over £200,000.
