Heck, that latest special edition Vitesse costs nearly $3 million, and that’s before taxes and delivery. Well, we’ve got the answer right here. It’s a shisha pipe - the kind smoked in bedouin tents and cafés frequented by Middle Eastern gentlemen the world over - and it’s branded by Bugatti.
The pipe is hand-crafted from titanium and carbon fiber (instead of the usual glass and steel) and stands about two and a half feet tall. It’s made by a company called Desvall, which contrary to what you might think, is located not on the eastern or southern shores of the Mediterranean or along the Persian Gulf, but in Stockholm, Sweden.
And the price? A suitably Bugatti-like $100,000. That’s a heck of a lot more than the already-outrageous $1,950 that Porsche Design gets for its shisha, which, let’s face it, is basically a beautifully-crafted but overpriced water bong, to say nothing of what an average shisha would cost you in the bazaar. But we’re sure there are some customers somewhere in the world who’d gladly pony up that amount to smoke a Bugatti pipe next to their Veyron in their lavishly appointed garage at the end of a sand-swept driveway. And Desvall only needs 150 of them, because that’s all they’re making.Continue reading Bugatti enters the car-branded hookah market
