A teenager was driven to his prom in one of the most expensive cars in the world.
Asim Hussain a Year 11 pupil at Witton Park Academy in Blackburn, arrived at his prom in the ultimate supercar - a multi-million pound Bugatti Chiron.
He was driven from his school to Foxfields Country Hotel by his uncle Romey, who runs a chauffeur and executive travel company who had arranged the vehicle for the big day.
Romey said: “It was great to make his day. It was a dream come true for him. It was certainly something unique and nothing the town had seen before”.
“A lot of car enthusiasts loved the vehicle and came and took photos. A big thank you to Iky from Platinum Executive Travel (PET) who managed to supply the vehicle from Birmingham”.
“It is a very difficult vehicle to get hold of for occasions.”
The Chiron is said to be the ‘fastest, most powerful, and exclusive production super sports car’ in Bugatti’s history said to be worth a staggering £3 million.
The firm says that the car is capable of speeds up to 273mph. Only a select number of vehicles have been produced and these had been sold by the beginning of January when they are released, with people having to place deposits of £200,000 to just to secure their car.
Asim: “It was absolutely brilliant. It was a big surprise and I was not expecting this at all”.
“I thought a Lamborghini was coming and they were all shocked when a Bugatti arrived.”
Asim was later picked up in the more ‘reasonably priced’ £200,000 Rolls Royce Phantom.
