Mr. Khoshbin shared: “I am a real Bugatti fan – I wanted to name my son “Ettore” but my wife did not agree. “When I first saw the Chiron in 2015, I was one of the first customers in the world to reserve a construction site, but one of the people who would later take one, but the reason for that That’s because of me. “The vision of businessman Khoshbin and his dedication to the Bugatti brand to inspire others by defying the limits of car design and creating a unique version.

The car’s exterior is painted ivory white, inspired by the distinguishable patent leather called ‘Craie’ that is famous for legendary handbags and other Hermès luxury goods. The color comes from the white powder that covers the complete exterior of this Chiron, different from the majority of Chirons in the world that are often finished in contrasting colors.
The Chiron’s signature 5-spoke dual-spoke wheels are also finished in Hermès Craie paint, the same color as the car. On this special edition, the car’s grille is also stylized, unlike any other Chiron. The car’s grille is specially designed with a Bespoke pattern taken from the motifs of the fashion brand Hermès.

On the monotonous white interior background is the Hermès Courbettes horse motif as on the exterior. In addition, the car’s interior is also decorated with the Hermès badge to prove that this is a “unique” car. Manny Khoshbin chose the Sky View glass roof option with two fixed glass panels above the driver and passenger seats. The interior is also upholstered with Ecru leather around the center console, dashboard and other parts of the interior combined with Craie’s glossy color on the Hypercar model. The floor carpet is finished in ‘Beige’ color.
The cooperation with Hermès to create masterpieces hand-made by Bugatti took place many years ago. Before World War I, Ettore Bugatti commissioned saddles and other leathers from Émile-Maurice Hermès – the grandson of founder Thierry Hermès – and the brand’s leathers later appeared on Bugatti racing cars in 1920s. In 2008, Bugatti paid tribute to its long-standing relationship with the fashion house by launching the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès version with an extremely unique design.
