Copart owns a 2019 Bugatti Chriron with fire damage to the front. A video by Royalty Exotic Cars shows that the hypercar was set on fire with a Molotov cocktail. This is a rag placed in a bottle and then lit on fire. Although the car was reportedly owned by a hip-hop artist such details are not of concern. This Chiron appears to not have sustained as much damage to its windshield and fenders.

Obviously, high-end machines like this can look a lot more convincing than they actually are. Although the Chiron’s Copart listing does not mention any specific damage, the video shows that the fire caused significant damage to the dash and wiring harness.

The video also claims that the fire caused damage to the Chiron’s left front shock tower. This is significant as the tower is a crucial support point and part of the Chiron’s carbon-fiber tub. According to the video, the insurance company listed the car as a part-only vehicle and not just totaled it. It can’t even be titled for road usage if it is repaired. Royalty Exotic Cars is still open to the possibility of buying it. The video shows that they tried to purchase the car from an insurance company but were not interested in the $1.2 million asking price for a car they could not drive. Copart lists the car at a value of $345,000 which is very close to what was mentioned in the video. It’s not enough to buy a Chiron and then order replacement parts at the nearby store. Parts are difficult to find and not cheap at all, with headlights costing $35,000
