The Bugatti Chiron's headlights are as expensive as a new Porsche 911

The Chiron is a rare car, with only 500 units being produced. As such, the cost is not cheap, not only when you buy the car, but also when you buy the parts. This pair of lights is an example. It is listed on eBay Germany for a whopping 147,000 euros ($164,000), and can be fitted to the Chiron Pur Sport and Chiron Super Sport 300+.

For that amount of money, in the US, you could buy a brand new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS ($164,900).

However, the seller is in Poland and the cost of shipping this pair of lights to other European countries is around more than $1,100; shipping to the US or Asia would cost even more.

The seller said that although it is used, the pair of lights is in perfect condition and is genuine, with code 5B4941035C 5B4941036C.

The shocking price tag for the headlights is reminiscent of a video listing the cost of owning a Chiron supercar: $10,000 for the headlights, $13,547 for a lock replacement, $8,449 for the tires, $18,317 for the front brake rotors, $6,764 for the front brake pads, $18,317 for the rear brake rotors, $4,024 for the rear brake pads, $185,000 for the transmission, and $11,500 for annual service.

The cost of owning a Veyron supercar is also "huge", according to real estate tycoon Manny Khoshbin. Oil changes of all types cost $25,000, while tire replacement costs $38,000. Rims need to be replaced every 10,000 miles for $50,000.

Meanwhile, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification application a few years ago, the cost of replacing a turbocharger is $6,400, while the Veyron supercar has four turbochargers. This document also shows that the cost of replacing two turbochargers is $9,000.

Veyron owners have to spend $20,000 to replace the fuel tank, plus another $22,000 for labor. Why is the labor so expensive? Because some parts of the engine have to be removed.

The prices listed above are for reference only, and the actual price may be even higher. For example, the cost of replacing a set of four Michelin Pilot Sport PAX tires specifically for the Veyron was $42,000 in 2020, up $4,000 from a year earlier.

The new Tourbillon does not use turbocharging, but instead uses hybrid technology.
