Only 60 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sports were ever made, and one of these incredibly rare beasts is now up for auction.
The blue and black supercar is on the auction site Bring a Trailer with the top bid already at $3.65 million.
There are still 15 days left until bidding closes, so it could end up costing more than its original price.

The auction ad lists the original MSRP at $3,871,500 – meaning it has $172,500 in extra options.
Offered in Beverley Hills, California, this Pur Sport was originally delivered to Connecticut and has just 779km (491mi) on the clock.
The original buyer bought the Chiron in the launch colors of Lake Blue and Bugatti Light Blue Sport.
It’s wearing a lot of exposed carbon fiber as well – particularly on its front and rear diffusers.
The interior is sleek, with Beluga Black leather and Alcantara upholstery.
And the stitching matches the Lake Blue paint, so there are some bright flashes of color inside.

What’s really cool to see is the big aluminum box that comes with the car – something only owners would ever normally see.
Bearing Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport branding, you’ll find the carbon fiber owner’s manual and key box, a car cover, and a Bugatti-branded battery tender.
With over a fortnight remaining, bidding is already near the original sale price.
It currently sits at $3,650,000 at the time of writing.
Designed to be more of a corner-carving track car than the standard Chiron, the Pur Sport has shorter gear ratios to improve acceleration.
It comes at the expense of its top speed, but 2.3 seconds to do the 0-100km/h (0-62mph) dash is sickeningly quick.
