Tom Cruise Banned From Ever Owning a Bugatti Car
Bugatti is among the most popular hypercar makers on the planet. Even the top stars across the globe from various backgrounds don’t often opt for its cars due to their prices and excess performance. Hence, these cars are unofficially only for the driving enthusiasts. Back in 2005, Tom Cruise purchased the ostentatious and fire-breathing monster, the Bugatti Veyron. It was among the most expensive and fastest production cars at the time. Arriving at a red carpet event in his hypercar, he was accompanied by his ex-wife, Katie Holmes. Upon arrival, he emerged from the car and greeted the thousands in attendance, along with hundreds of media personnel. Demonstrating his gentlemanly demeanour, he approached the passenger side to open the door for his ex-wife.
Unfortunately, the door appeared to be stuck for some unknown reason, causing a visible struggle as he attempted to open it. Despite multiple attempts to pull the handle, the door remained stubbornly closed. It’s entirely possible that the door had been locked from the inside all along. Regardless, the French luxury car brand deemed the incident a PR disaster for Bugatti. Consequently, they reportedly banned the actor from ever purchasing a Bugatti for the remainder of his life. While this might seem severe and peculiar, there hasn’t been any subsequent ownership of a Bugatti by Tom Cruise. Other notable celebrities who have faced similar bans from Bugatti include Floyd Mayweather, Simon Cowell, Flo Rida, and Jenson Button.

Specs and Other Cars in Tom’s Garage
The Bugatti Veyron boasts a formidable 8.0-litre W16 quad-turbo petrol engine, delivering an astounding 1,200 hp and 1,500 Nm of peak power and torque. This engine is paired with an automatic transmission, catapulting the hypercar from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds from a standstill. While its top speed is electronically limited to 415 km/h, it has the potential to reach 431 km/h. With prices soaring well over $2 million (equivalent to over Rs 16 Crore), the Veyron commands a significant investment. Among the notable automobiles in Tom’s garage are the Porsche 993, BMW 7 Series, Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport, Saleen Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette C1, Nissan 300ZX SCCA, and more. Despite being one of the biggest action stars globally, this ban from Bugatti underscores the carmaker’s adherence to its rules.
