Owning a Bugatti Tourbillon is already absurdly expensive.
Now, a Florida dealership claims even servicing one has turned into a legal battle.
Bugatti Miami has filed a lawsuit against Bugatti of the Americas after claiming the automaker retaliated against the dealership over a controversial warranty labor rate.
That labor rate? A staggering $1,350 per hour.
Why The Dealer Says The Rate Makes Sense
According to the lawsuit, Florida law allows dealers to request higher warranty reimbursement rates if they can justify the costs.
Bugatti Miami previously secured approval for a higher parts markup in 2024.
Then, in 2025, it requested a major labor increase.
The dealership claims Bugatti initially agreed to charge $1,100 per hour through the end of 2025 before increasing it to $1,350 per hour in 2026.
The dealer argues servicing hypercars isn’t remotely comparable to working on everyday vehicles.
Specialized technicians, rare tools, low service volume, and ultra-expensive equipment all drive costs higher.
Bugatti Reportedly Changed Its Mind
According to court filings, Bugatti of the Americas later called the pricing excessive.
The company reportedly informed the dealership it would stop authorizing warranty work there.
It allegedly also told customers in the region that warranty repairs would no longer be handled through Bugatti Miami.
That’s where things escalated into a lawsuit.
The Dealer Says It’s Also Losing New Car Allocations
The lawsuit claims the dealership is also being punished in other ways.
Bugatti Miami reportedly says it was allocated just two Bugatti Tourbillon models.
A competing Florida dealership allegedly received nine allocations.
That’s a big deal, seeing as Bugatti plans to build only 250 examples of the new Tourbillon.
There’s Also A Direct Sales Allegation
The lawsuit reportedly accuses Bugatti of bypassing dealers entirely by negotiating directly with buyers.
That could create additional legal problems in Florida, where franchise laws heavily restrict direct vehicle sales.
For most people, this story raises one obvious question: If a warranty labor rate costs $1,350 per hour… imagine what the out-of-pocket repair bill looks like.
