Erling Haaland shells out eye-watering £4 MILLION on ultra-rare Bugatti Tourbillion to add to luxury car collection - with Man City star's new wheels capable of reaching 277mph
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has reportedly splashed out £4 million ($5m) on an ultra-rare Bugatti that boasts a top speed of 277mph.
The Norwegian frontman is said to have teamed up with billionaire car collector Ole Ertvaag - who is a City season ticket holder - to acquire the stunning Tourbillion vehicle. It is one of only 250 produced within that range and was launched in 2024 as successor to the much sought-after Bugatti Chiron.

THE GOSSIP
The Tourbillion - which features iconic ‘butterfly’ doors - comes with a £3.2m price tag, but Haaland is having to dig a little deeper than that due to the strict low emissions laws that exist in Norway. The 24-year-old is also expected to splash out on custom specifications, making the car as individual and personalised as possible.
WHAT A SOURCE SAID
A source has told The Sun of the elaborate purchase: “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.”
While Haaland is having to spend big on new wheels, he is not short on funds after signing a lucrative 10-year contract with Premier League giants City in January. Said deal is worth around £500,000-per-week, with image right payments and various bonuses added on top of that.
