Bugatti Chiron Headlights: The $164,000 Replacement That Costs as Much as a Porsche 911 GTS

Bugatti Chiron Headlights: The $164,000 Replacement That Costs as Much as a Porsche 911 GTS

In the world of high-performance luxury cars, the Bugatti Chiron stands as a pinnacle of exclusivity and engineering excellence. With only 500 units produced, spotting one of these hypercars on the road is a rare treat. However, the cost of maintaining such an exclusive vehicle is as astronomical as the car itself, as demonstrated by a jaw-dropping eBay listing for a set of Chiron headlights.

A seller on eBay Germany is offering a pair of used Bugatti Chiron headlights for an eye-watering €147,000, which translates to approximately $164,000. To put this into perspective, that’s the same price as a brand-new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, which retails for $164,900. Yes, you read that correctly—$164,000 for headlights.

These headlights are compatible with both the Pur Sport and Super Sport 300+ variants of the Chiron. The seller, based in Poland, will ship the lights across Europe for an additional €1,000 ($1,100), though shipping costs for destinations outside of Europe are not specified but are likely higher. Due to current geopolitical situations, shipping to Russia and Ukraine is excluded.

Interestingly, a bit of online sleuthing revealed that these very headlights are listed on a Polish website for 420,000 PLN, or about €98,000 ($110,000)—still expensive, but a significant discount compared to the eBay price.

This exorbitant price tag is not an isolated case when it comes to Chiron ownership. A recent video by The Hamilton Collection broke down the costs associated with owning a Bugatti Chiron, revealing that each taillight costs $10,000, a replacement key is $13,547, and a set of tires is $8,449. The front brake rotors alone are $18,317, with pads costing $6,764. If that wasn’t enough, the car’s transmission runs a staggering $185,000, while an annual service can set you back $11,500.

The predecessor to the Chiron, the Bugatti Veyron, also carries similarly insane maintenance costs. Real estate mogul Manny Khoshbin once revealed that a full fluid replacement for a Veyron costs $25,000, while a set of tires goes for $38,000. The Veyron’s wheels, which must be changed every 10,000 miles, add another $50,000 to the tab. Turbocharger replacement is another costly affair, with each of the Veyron’s four turbos costing $6,400, plus $9,000 in labor for two of them.

These staggering figures make it clear that Bugatti ownership is a game for the ultra-wealthy, where even basic parts come with price tags that would make most people’s eyes water. As the world moves towards more sustainable transportation, with Bugatti even adding hybrid elements in its new Tourbillion model, one thing remains certain: owning and maintaining a Bugatti will never be cheap.
