Shortly
after being teased while on the factory floor, the Bugatti Chiron Hermès
Edition has been officially presented to the world. If you’ve read the original story, then
you might remember that the Chiron Hermès Edition was commissioned by noted car
collector Manny Khoshbin and will soon be delivered to the U.S.
Work
on the car began in 2016 and the car went through a series of iterations on
Bugatti’s configurator before Khoshbin decided it would look best painted in
Hermès Craie (chalk white). In addition, the French hypercar includes a
distinctive grille with a bespoke Hermès pattern. The underside of the rear
wing also incorporates a Hermès Courbettes horse pattern and the entire rear
bumper has been painted to match the rest of the car’s exterior finish.
Bugatti
and Hermès also collaborated on the car’s interior. It features special leather
from the luxury goods manufacturer and includes a horse pattern across the door
panels. There’s also a special badge reading “Dressed by Hermès” to remind
Khoshbin that he drives a Chiron unlike any other on earth.
In
pictures shared by Bugatti, the hypercar’s ugly U.S.-spec rear bumpers are
visible, but in a recent video, Khoshbin said he would remove them immediately
when the car is delivered. This
isn’t the only hypercar that Khosbhin owns with Hermès touches. A few years
ago, he convinced Pagani and Hermès to team up to create a one-off Huayra for
him. The collector is also having McLaren and Hermès collaborate to build his
perfect Speedtail, set to arrive sometime early in the next decade.
