Tom Cruise was banned from buying Bugatti cars for strange reasons

High-end luxury brands like to show that they can choose their customers. Ferrari is one of them, with banned justin bieber to buy their cars after the singer showed carelessness and “defiled” some of his models in the garage.

The same goes for bugattiwhich according to a Spanish newspaper Brandhas put Tom Cruise on his banned list after he was involved in a seemingly silly incident.

Even the fact that Cruise liked to show off the branded sports car on the streets of California wasn’t enough to change that decision. North Americans may even have the money to pay for multi-million dollar models that a factory car won’t. Anyone who resells Bugatti will also be banned.

It all started in 2006, when Tom Cruise attended the launch event of the long-awaited film Mission Impossible 3. To get to the red carpet, there was no better choice than to use Bugatti Veyron bought a year earlier: with a W16 8.0 quad-turbo engine, the 1,001 hp sports car is an option that, of course, suits a spy who travels the world on exciting adventures.

After parking the car in front of several photographers, Cruise went around to open the passenger door for his wife, Katie Holmes. Or at least try.

A video that went viral in the early days of YouTube shows a “spy” struggling to open a door. Obviously, the papparazi went wild and mercilessly filmed the fight between the actor and the door of the Veyron.

Who didn’t like it at all, of course, was Bugatti, who would ban the actor from then on, he says Brand. There are no details about the reasons that led the luxury manufacturer to make this decision, but one of the assumptions is that the move was deliberate, to generate buzz.

Bugatti does not seem to like jokes and, in fact, Tom Cruise did not appear in one of the cars of the French manufacturer after 2006.
