Though the French luxury company has confirmed that the Bugatti La Voiture Noire has been bought, they have not confirmed if it is Ronaldo, reported UK media outlet. The 260mph car is styled after the legendary Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, only four of which were ever built between 1936 and 1938.

Ronaldo has a craze of having expensive cars, as the 34-year-old footballer owns a collection of supercars which reportedly include a Lamborghini Aventator, a Mercedes Clase C Sport Coupe, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Ujn Ferrari 599 GTO, a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, an Aston Martin DB9, a McLaren MP4 12C and a Bentley Continental GTC Speed.Ronaldo helped Juventus get their ninth Serie A title in a row this season. He scored 20 goals in 27 appearances in the league, creating eight assists, but was, however, unable to prevent Juventus slumping to a shock Champions League quarter-final loss to Ajax.
