California-based multi-millionaire Manny Khoshbin has just taken delivery of his Bugatti Bolide.
But this is no ‘normal’ Bugatti Bolide, if there is such thing.
This one, which is only the second Bugatti Bolide in the US, has a special one-off ‘Batman spec’.
The customization was so intricate that it took Bugatti two months to create.

Exclusive Batman-spec Bugatti Bolide
Californian real-estate mogul Manny Khoshbin took delivery of his brand-new Bugatti Bolide at the Newport Beach dealership in Irvine, California.
In a video he posted on his YouTube channel, the dealership unboxed the hypercar right outside the building.
Naturally, the reveal amassed a huge crowd.
And for good reason, because this Bolide was something special.
Any photos you might have previously seen of the $4.7 million hypercar showed it with a blue and black color and carbon fiber finish.
Khoshbin, however, had other plans.
How the automaker curated it
Khoshbin wanted it to be a true Batmobile and requested for it to be delivered with an all-black finish.
He suggested a custom wrap or stickers, but the team at Bugatti didn’t like that idea.
Instead, the automaker delayed its delivery by a few months and painted the Bugatti Bolide gloss black.
Why did it take so long?
Well, a Bugatti color-change isn’t just your run-of-the-mill paint job.
Bugatti paints each component individually and if there is the slightest difference in shades between two details, they do a repaint.
After the painting, the automaker then spends four days polishing it.
Not to mention, it costs about $220,000 to paint a Bugatti.
But was it worth it? Khoshbin says it was.
Manny Khoshbin is no stranger to owning exclusive cars.
The millionaire owns a one-off Pagani Huayra, which he recently spent a lot of money on for its service.
He also daily daily a car so rare that only 40 were made.
Interestingly, this Bolide, too, is 1-of-40.
