Vrooming fast ... the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

A ONE-OFF version of the world's fastest car has come onto the market - for a wallet-busting £2.1MILLION.

Luxury car dealer Tom Hartley has taken delivery of this pristine Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

The 268mph 'Sang Noir' model, which has been limited by Bugatti to 257mph to protect its tyres, is a unique example of the Super Sport - itself restricted to just 30 models.

It is the most expensive car ever to be advertised - with the lucky owner parting with £2.1 million for the keys and logbook.

But with the eye-watering price tag comes unbeatable performance.

The Super Sport is capable of 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds, 0-124mph in 6.7 seconds and the ability to cover one mile in just 23.6 seconds.

These stunning figures come courtesy of the car's quad-turbocharged 8-litre engine which develops a colossal 1,200bhp - 200bhp more than a standard Veyron.

This particular model was the second to roll off the company's production line in Molsheim and was the display car at this year's Geneva Motor Show.

The first five models were intended to be exact replicas of the world record-breaking model.

But the customer who specified this model loved the performance but wasn't overly fond of the design and opted to have his Super Sport in matt black with a number of interior differences including orange seats.

Tom Hartley Jnr said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to get your hands on the first Super Sport to come onto the open market."

The Derbyshire-based dealership also has a rare convertible Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport - for £1.4 million.
