The Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès features eight-spoked wheels in polished aluminium, central butterfly wheel locks branded with the letter H, and air vents around the rims reproducing the characteristic appearance of Hermès saddle-stitching. The horseshoe radiator grille, and the lateral ventilation grilles flanking it, are made from lightweight alloys with a design of interlocking H’s evoking the Hermès “signature”.

The inner surfaces of the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès have been designed and sheathed in bull calfskin by the Hermès workshops in Paris. The door handles echo the fluid forms of handles on Hermès travel bags and luggage. And the dashboard, traditionally finished in brushed aluminium, is here clad entirely in bull calfskin.

Both seats are covered in two-toned bull calfskin, and the panel separating the cockpit from the central rear engine – traditionally made of carbon fibre – is covered in the same fine leather. The leather-lined trunk holds a specially-fitted “Toile H” and leather case, hand-made by craftsmen from the Hermès workshops.

The Veyron Fbg Par Hermès was launched in 2008. Bugatti did not announce total manufacturing numbers except that it is limited to only 1 unit per month and available in 6 colour combinations developed by Bugatti and Hermès.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento









Lamborghini was able keep its curb weight to 999 kg, or 2,202 lbs, making it the lightest Lamborghini ever produced thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber and carbon fiber reinforced plastics. The entire car is essentially constructed from the lightweight materials including the monocoque, front frame, body panels, major suspension components and wheels. With a 570-horsepower 5.2L V10 from the Gallardo mounted behind the cockpit, the San Elemento has just 3.86 pounds to push for every horsepower. Lamborghini claims a 0-100 km/h time of just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of over 300 km/hr, or 186 mph. Hot air escapes upwards through 10 hexagonal holes in the engine cover, while two intakes funnel cool air into the mid-mounted engine.


This is car pornography!! It does look a little on the weird side with those holes at the back reminding me of the stingray. But oh my does it look good; those sharp edges and striking red paint splashed at the appropriate regions of its carbon fibre body. Looks aside, the performance seems astounding. 0-100kmh in a mere 2.5seconds, this is definitely not one you want to mess with. Now, I wonder how much will one cost. Any idea??
