Real estate tycoon and supercar aficionado Manny Khoshbin has sold one of the most unique cars in his renowned garage: a one-of-one McLaren Speedtail Hermès Edition. The multi-million-dollar hypercar, crafted in collaboration with the luxury French fashion house, has been shipped to a collector in Japan following a private offer Khoshbin says he “couldn’t refuse.”
The ultra-exclusive Speedtail was number 24 of just 106 units produced and was extensively customized to Khoshbin’s vision. Drawing inspiration from Hermès’ iconic Parisian flagship address at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the car featured bespoke brown leather trim throughout, creamy-white accents, and the kind of artisanal detail usually reserved for haute couture. Despite the visual spectacle, it wasn’t enough to keep Khoshbin behind the wheel.
“It just didn’t do it for me under the hood,” he said in a recent social media post. “The V8 hybrid had some issues early on with the wireless charger. They got sorted eventually, but every time I walked past the car, it didn’t get me excited.”
Khoshbin, known for his discerning automotive taste and luxury lifestyle, added that the Speedtail lacked the emotional punch of other hypercars in his fleet, like his McLaren P1 or one-off Pagani Huayra—also finished with Hermès touches. Though the sale price wasn’t disclosed, the custom Speedtail was initially valued north of $2.5 million.
While one hypercar departs, others are surely on the way. Khoshbin still owns one of only two Bugatti Bolides in the U.S., alongside an all-white Rolls-Royce fleet and a Hermès-edition Chiron. As for the Speedtail, it’s starting a new chapter in Japan, where it will join another high-end collection.
“Some cars you collect,” Khoshbin said. “Others you connect with.”
