Bugatti, a company known for its exclusive sport cars, recently unveiled
a $300,000 luxury pool table that relies on highly advanced gyroscopic
technology to remain perfectly level in any conditions, making it usable
on yachts.
There are a few things in this world that money can’t buy, and until
now, playing pool at sea was one of them. Try as they might, engineers
could not design a table to negate the rocking of the boat and remain
level. Until now, that is, because Bugatti apparently managed to create
a self-leveling pool table that will allow the rich and powerful to
enjoy a game of billiards on their expensive yachts.

“An optional servo-driven system deploys a gyroscopic sensor to level
the table – in case of installation on board a yacht,” A Bugatti press
release reads. “Each leg can move to compensate for the movement of a
ship and remain perfectly level. The system can adjust in just 5
milliseconds, and the movement is completed in total silence with
vibration-free adjustment.”
Part of the company’s Lifestyle Collection, the limited-collection pool
table was created in partnership with IXO, a company that specializes in
carbon fiber product construction. As you’ve probably already guessed,
the table has an all carbon-fiber finish, while the frame is built out
of machined aluminum and titanium.

Each of the 30 tables Bugatti plans to make comes with carbon fiber pool
cues, a wall-mounted cue support with a 13-inch touchscreen for users to
keep score on, a dimmable LED ceiling light, as well as other
accessories. Also included in the eye-watering $300,000 price tag is a
USB drive with photos and videos taken during the production process.
Because making probably the world’s most expensive pool table is a
laborious process, only five Bugatti pool tables will be ready by the
end of 2021. According to Mail Online, Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
the Emir of Abu Dhabi, is thought to have expressed an interest in
buying one for his half a billion dollar yacht, Azzam. So hurry up and
order yours before they run out…
