Four-Wheeled Wonders

Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès

Bugatti Interior

We can’t begin to talk about luxury cars without mention of the Bugatti Veyron. The speedy sports car, topping out at 253 mph, takes its name from French race car driver Pierre Veyron and is known as the fastest luxury sports car in the world (think 370 feet per second). This year, the company teamed up with the famous French fashion house Hermès to develop the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès. The car features Hermès leather trim in the interior and comes with an Hermès suitcase in the trunk. Price available upon request. (Bugatti Veyrons start at $2 million.) http://www.bugatti.com/.

Bentley Brooklands

Bentley Brooklands

With only 550 vehicles ever produced, it’s no doubt that the Bentley Brooklands is destined to become quite the cherished classic. The four-passenger coupe fit for royalty exudes classic British style. With its interior completely handcrafted using fine leather hides (including a hide-trimmed roof lining), this vehicle makes Bentley the only car manufacturer in the world to completely outfit a car’s interior in leather hides. Starting at $341,000. http://www.bentleymotors.com/.

Audi R8

Audi R8

The 420-horsepower Audi R8 delivers both indulgence and attitude. Only a few hundred of the cars are produced each year, and it is already a favorite among celebrities like Tom Brady, Jon Favreau, Seal and others. Starts at $109,000.

Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 Roadster Versace

Since 2006, the geniuses over at Lamborghini and Versace have been collaborating to deliver the finest combination of luxury and styling in one package, which debuts this year in the form of the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 Roadster Versace. The new limited-edition roadster boasts Maison Versace designs. For example, the cradle seats are in black-and-white leather with the hand-embroidered Versace Greek motif, which is also present on the lower door panel. And the V12 engine is now covered by a transparent engine hood. Price available upon request.

Rolls-Royce RR4

It hasn’t hit the road yet, but we’re pretty sure this one will be more than worth the wait. In 2010, Rolls-Royce will roll out its next new model, the RR4. The vehicle will be a bit smaller than its popular Phantom model but will incorporate all the luxury trimmings and performance that Rolls-Royce is known for. Look for more details in 2009. http://www.rolls-royce.com/.
