Mission Impossible: Tom Cruise’s Bugatti Door Fail at Premiere

newautopost Views  

Global movie star Tom Cruise’s long-standing feud with Bugatti

Tom Cruise is a renowned actor who has worked in various genres and has been loved by multiple generations. He has a special affection for Korea and is always warmly welcomed by the public whenever he visits Korea for movie premieres or related events. He reciprocates the love by greeting his Korean fans kindly.

Cruise’s fame and influence are so massive that his every word and action at events like premieres and award ceremonies can cause a big stir. As such, the clothes he wears, the luxury items he uses, and the cars he drives often enjoy significant advertising effects. However, unfavorable, unexpected situations can also cause a heavy blow to the brand. So, what was the incident that involved Tom Cruise?

Famous car collector Tom Cruise owns various vehicles, including rare old cars such as the Buick Roadmaster, Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Chevelle SS, and Chevrolet Corvette C1. He also owns classic American muscle cars and a ‘Veyron’ model from Bugatti, a brand famous for its hypercars, which he bought for $1.9 million.

Cruise owns the Bugatti Veyron, one of the rarest hypercars in the world. It has a 16-cylinder engine that produces 1,000 horsepower and is the object of every car enthusiast’s envy. Purchasing this car brought excellent advertising effects to the brand, and the relationship between Tom Cruise and Bugatti seemed to go smoothly.

However, the relationship did not last long. At the movie Mission Impossible 3 premiere, Cruise drove his Bugatti Veyron with his ex-wife Katie Holmes in the passenger seat. The problem started when he exited the driver’s seat and walked towards the passenger door. The passenger seat door where his wife was seated wouldn’t open, and only after several tugs from both sides did the door finally open.

As the situation was broadcast live worldwide, Bugatti, a French hypercar, sensed a significant blow to its image. As a result of the incident, Tom Cruise was put on Bugatti’s “blacklist.” Even after about 18 years, the listing of Tom Cruise on Bugatti’s blacklist is still being talked about and is said to be still in effect.

Bugatti’s unique policy

Bugatti’s actions were not only applied to Tom Cruise. World-renowned boxer Floyd Mayweather ended up on the blacklist for selling his car at a price higher than the original purchase price, and famous American rapper Flo Rida was listed for being charged with drunk driving while driving a Bugatti Veyron.

Bugatti reportedly has agreement terms that must be adhered to when purchasing a vehicle, and violation of these terms results in being listed on the blacklist. There are many things to consider to get your hands on and drive the most beautiful hypercar, which is once again felt through Bugatti’s unique policy.
