This US car dealer flaunted a $3.7 million Bugatti Chiron on Instagram that was being flown out to Africa.

There’s a good chance that this one-of-50 hypercar will be the first of its kind in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory.

Popular dealer Mr. Jay showed off the car to his 433k Instagram followers, revealing that it was being flown out to the city of Lagos.

This wasn’t his first time delivering to the west African country, as he’d previously delivered a Bugatti to the capital, Abuja back in 2020.
