Mayur Shree, a real-estate magnate based out of Texas in the USA, is reportedly the only Indian-origin person to own a Bugatti Chiron, according to automobile news site Cartoq. A Dallas News report stated that Shree was the first person in Texas to own a Chiron. Bought in 2018 as a gift for his father, he was quoted in the same report saying he always wanted to pay back the money loaned by his father to start a business, along with a car.
The car evidently holds a lot of sentimental value for Shree, who has posted multiple pictures and videos of the vehicle on his Instagram account. The common hashtag that he has used for these posts involves a wordplay on his name and the car’s name - Shreeron.
A Chiron is estimated to cost at least $3 million or about ₹23 crore, although the price details are not public due to the high customisation associated with each car. Fitted with a massive 8.0-litre, quad-turbocharged W16 engine that generates a maximum power of 1,479 Bhp ( brake horsepower) and a peak torque of 1,600 Nm (Newton-meter), there are possibly a few hundred Chirons in total.

{{/usCountry}}Bugatti cars are rare in the world and Indian owners are even rarer. Shah Rukh Khan is also a proud owner of one of the fastest cars in the world - a ₹12 crore worth Bugatti Veyron. Powered by an 8.0-litre turbocharged W16 engine, it can go from 1-100km/h in 2.4 seconds.
Take a look at the petrolhead's fast and furious collection:
Rolls Royce Phantom DHC
Shree’s Rolls Royce Phantom DHC even has a customised number plate. Out of around 5 units of the model sold in India, one is owned by the Ambani family.
Lamborghini Aventador Spyder, Urus
Shree is also a Lamborghini lover. The Italian carmaker’s Aventador convertible is part of the business mogul’s collection, who owns a yellow and black coloured avatar. An all-black customised model of the first modern-day SUV from the Lamborghini family is another supercar in his garage.
Porsche GT3 RS
Exclusively meant for track enthusiasts, Shree’s Porsche GT3 RS features his name on the registration plate and shiny, gold wheels.
Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
The Aston Martin DBS, reportedly received as a wedding gift, is possibly one of the newer additions in his exquisite collection.
Lamborghini Gallardo
The car fanatic also owns a 2011 model of Gallardo Roadster in a popping yellow shade.
