After Tom Cruise’s highly publicized struggle with the Bugatti door at the Mission: Impossible III premiere, the incident brought significant attention to the brand.

However, it didn’t seem to have any major negative impact on Bugatti’s reputation.

The luxury carmaker remained a symbol of wealth and engineering prowess, with its Veyron continuing to be one of the most sought-after supercars in the world.

That being said, the incident added a level of humanization to the brand, showing that even high-performance vehicles can have quirks.

Bugatti didn’t officially comment on the event, and it didn’t lead to any public changes in the design or functionality of the car doors. The Veyron and later Bugatti models, including the Chiron, continued to sell to affluent customers, solidifying Bugatti’s status as a leading name in the luxury and supercar markets.

The moment mostly became a lighthearted anecdote rather than a lasting issue for Bugatti, and Tom Cruise’s name remained closely tied to his action-packed lifestyle, including his love for fast cars.

After the 2006 Mission: Impossible III premiere incident, Tom Cruise has not been publicly seen driving a Bugatti again, at least in any widely covered event or setting. While there are no official reports confirming that he stopped driving Bugattis altogether, Cruise has not made another high-profile appearance in one since the door mishap.

That being said, Tom Cruise is known for his love of high-performance vehicles and motorcycles, so it’s possible that he still has an interest in luxury cars. However, no specific instances of him driving a Bugatti have been documented in the years following the incident.
