SEXY RIDE: Hermès x Bugatti

Okay, so I admit that I rarely...on second thought, maybe never...blurb about cars, let alone, "sexy" cars. But this, ladies & gentlemen, is not just a car. It's the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès, aka: the high class collaboration: Hermès x Bugatti Veyron Fbg. This is actually not the first time Hermes is collaborating with the luxury automobile:

Ettore Bugatti and Émile Hermès met in the 1920s, when Ettore ordered a bespoke suitcase for his first Bugatti Royale. Almost eighty years later, at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d'Élégance, representatives of Bugatti and Hermès met again. And this encounter turned out to be the beginning of a new collaboration between the two houses.

The detailing is impeccable, with both Hermès and Bugatti highlighted inside and out: high-quality non-visible Hermès stitching, a specially designed Hermès wallet that fits perfectly into a compartment in the car (see below), an Hermès suitcase that comes in the trunk of the car. For the men who care about such necessary specs: all you need to know is that it's the fastest production car ever made. This monster is

...capable of reaching 407 km/h, is due in large part to its unique alliance of the very finest motor-racing technology with comfortable handling for everyday driving. The 16-cylinder "W" configuration engine is fed by four turbochargers and features 64 valves, generating 1001 horse¬power at 6000 rpm.


Yes, I know how horses mean so much in a car. Anyway, drool on the pictures and imagine yourself driving this son of a biznatch. No joke, just take a look at that leather....and Hermès accessories included? SOLD!Alright, stop dreaming. Price tag: 1.55 million euros = $2.3 million = money ain't a thang = don't quit your day job.
