Manny Khoshbin finally took his Bugatti Bolide for its first drive but had to go through a strange startup process first

Famed entrepreneur Manny Khoshbin faced a few difficulties while trying to take his new Bugatti Bolide out for its first drive.

Manny Khoshbin is an Iranian-born businessman best known for his real estate businesses in California, US, and his actress wife Leyla Milani.

Having made hundreds of millions in a rags-to-riches success story through real estate, business investments, and authoring books, Khoshbin has built up an impressive portfolio of supercars.

One is the all-new Bugatti Bolide.

Manny Khoshbin befuddled at Bugatti Bolide start-up

The Bugatti Bolide is finally landing on US soil after two of the 40 limited hypercars were delivered to customers in America.

The first Bolide to be shipped to the US was for an unnamed owner but has already been blasted around the Circuit of the Americas in Texas.

The new Bugatti hypercar was reported to have recorded a top speed of 207mph, outpacing Formula 1 2024 qualifying speeds on the same circuit.

The second Bolide in the US is Manny Khoshbin’s custom ‘Batman Spec’.

In a recent vlog on his YouTube channel, the new Bugatti Bolide owner said he faced extreme difficulty getting to grips with the hypercar.

Its confusing start-up mechanics and its high-speed handling proved especially challenging.

Khoshbin recently found the three plane-like engine-starting joysticks to be quite befuddling.

It requires no keys, but rather three switches to be flicked in the right order.

That’s before even tackling any particular drive-style functions.

Once he’d navigated the systems, he finally took this car on its first-ever outing by whipping it around a custom race track that encircles his mansion.

The car did four laps of the circuit, ahead of its first real test at the Bugatti circuit on May 8.

“Oh my god,” he said as his foot hit the pedals for the first time.

“The turning ratio on this is very, very tight. It’s very intense. I’m telling you, I need a massage after this. Absolute monster.

“I need a cigar, this is as extreme as they come. Not just on the looks and exterior, but right behind the wheel. I cannot imagine this beast on the track.”

Khoshbin is no stranger to incredible supercars.

He owns a massive collection including a one-of-40 Porsche Marsien, a one-off Pagani Huarya, and more white Rolls-Royce cars than you could imagine.
