[BADMIHAI]

The sultan of Brunei's brother owns all the rest of those celebrities when it comes to cars. I wish the Sultan of Brunei was my brother, so I could take one of those McLaren F1s for a spin...around Eurpe.

[spicymustard]

Well Yea the sultan's Bro does win hands down on the MacLaren factor alone, however i would bet that Jay Leno has more cars toatl. (3 huge airplane hangers), and come on i can almost understand 2 MacLaren's, but 8, now that is just being gready, he should leave a couple for the rest of us, (that is probably more than 10% of the remaining Mac's in existence),

Oh yea a typo (i think) there is no such think as a 4.8 BMW X5 only 3.0 4.4 and 4.6.

[zr2man99]

They have 8 McLarens?! :shock:

[DeMoN]

yeap those bastards, 8 of em... nice interesting list... I hope I can someday compete with one of them =)

[zr2man99]

I just want to ride in a McLaren or even see one.... I can't imagine having one for ever day of the week and a spare. Man I wish I was rich.

[twboy1999]

how come he dosnt own a enzo

or maybe he does

[haha604]

CHeck out this month's issuse of Top Gear Magazine. The Sultan of Brunei (or his brother Prince Jefri) has somewhere in the neighbourhood of 4000 to 5000 cars (all exotics), stored in air conditioned warehouses. I read that they pruchased around 70 cars per year from Rolls ROyce and around 30 from Aston Martin in the late 80's. One of their criteria for choosing a car was that it must be unique (meaning nobody else has one), thus their collection of concept cars. And the Sultan also possesses a collection of winning formula one cars.

In addition to cars, the Sultan also has an Apache helicopter (so vulgar :mrgreen: ), a Jet (737 if I remember correctly), a 737 simulator, and luxury yachts (one of them is named Tits :lol: )

To me its sad to know that most of these cars will not even see the open road once in a year. What a waste.

ANd one interesting stat: it was said that Prince Jefri spent on avg $700,000 (either dollars or pounds, didn't rememer) per day for a number of years. Luckily his nation has plenty of oil to back him up.

[Wide]

how come he dosnt own a enzo

or maybe he does


He owns a enzo.. Fx is the other name of Enzo..
No way.. He has all the cars.. LoL..

[Chaos in 1983!]

David Beckham also owns a Bentley Arnage T

The Sultan besides having a collection of more than 5000 cars, stored in temperature controled hangars....has a Palace that is larger than the VATICAN!!! it has 1700 something rooms!!! it's ridicoulusly enormous! it's worth like a billion dollars or something it's amazing, they opens it's doors for 3 days a year, and people that visits it gets a free meal...he also has collections of Yatchs and even Castles around the world, he also collects horses...

He has so many exotics that even ferrari denied him some F50s so he turned to the black market to get them...he's got them in all colors available, same with most Ferraris he owns...can you image being so rich that you could tell such a prestigeous company like Ferrari to make a car just for you! and he has lots of other crazy ass cars, bunch of concept cars, and one off editions....he also has one of the three F50GT if I'm not mistaken.

And the local people of Brunei pay no taxes, gets power, water, phone, health, education...for free! they even get a trip to Mecca every year for free!...local people don't work, they import the working force from other countries.

[twboy1999]

damnn
that is crazy

we need more info on this guy, and his country

[Chaos in 1983!]

however i would bet that Jay Leno has more cars toatl

Dude you are sooooo wrong...the 5000 plus number was quite a while ago...and rumors say that the Sultan started buying cars again a few years ago...so now he must have a lot mor...no way Leno has more than 5000 cars.

[alondahan]

to add to TT's list :D :

Jay Kay has also Ferrari 550, 360 Spider and merc 300 sl.

Nick Mason has a red Enzo and a Daytona Competizione.

the sultan of brunei has, in addition to the FX (Enzo prototype), 2 Enzos (at least) - red and yellow.

Beckham has a 575 now, not a 550.

Ralph Lauren has an F50 and a Mclaren F1.

Nicholas Cage has a diablo and some Ferraris.

Shaquille O Neal has a chopped roof 360 Modena.

Nice list TT

The FX is not the Enzo. The press is to blame for the confusion about this I guess. FX is the name they came up with for the Enzo-project before the name Enzo was revealed, while FX is the official name for the car specially made for the Sultan of Brunei by Pininfarina and Ferrari. This is the information fast-autos.net has on the car.
Very little is known about the FX. The car was specially made by Ferrari for the Sultan of Brunei and is loosely based off the 512M and was designed by Pininfarina. It uses the same 4.9 liter flat-12 engine, but the power output is unknown. Anywhere between two and eight cars were produced, but the exact number is unknown. The main feature of the car is the transmission, which was developed by Williams BMW. The 6-speed sequential is similar to the unit found in the William's Formula 1 car, and supposedly cost over $1 million.

[noosee]

Sultan of Bruneis Brother garage is insane.
I think it's not the full list.

[stradale]

No, it isn't the full list. Otherwise you would be reading for a couple of hours. :D

I read here somewhere that the cars are stored in an airconditioned space. Don't think however that the cars are well taken care of. Most of the cars have never had any maintenance. The whole family uses cars from the collection, but don't bother to get the oil checked etc. When they run out of petrol they just take another car in a different colour. Cars with flat tyres are just parked and never looked at again. Some of the world's most exclusive and sometimes unique cars are sitting in the garage gathering dust. No one cares to clean them after they've been used as well. It's pretty sad. :(

[possessed_beaver]

for the record Jay Kay also owns a audi RS4 (lucky!!) and a RS6,

i envey thoes ppl with the mclaryns

[scubywrxr]

Hmm Mason also has a Mclaren F1 GTR.. in orange especially restored for him at the factory..

[Johns]

Jay Kay also has a G500, and an E55 :)

[deth]

I think its more of jay kay HAD a G500 until he drove it into his moat! :lol:

[Johns]

I think its more of jay kay HAD a G500 until he drove it into his moat! :lol:
actually I think I heard, that he has/had 2 G500 8)

[coombsie66]

funk master flex has a load more cars than that, they were all on MTV Cribs car special, he's got loads more american muscle cars, and a load of suv's escalades and such, wiv like 4 15" subs in the boot!!!!!!!

[Johns]

Wyclef some of his collections are-

McLaren F1
Zonda
360 Spider

[deth]

Oh yea a typo (i think) there is no such think as a 4.8 BMW X5 only 3.0 4.4 and 4.6.

I was thinking the same thing, but after looking at Johns post 'frankfurt 2003 pics' it seems as if there is one now!

[possessed_beaver]

Hmm Mason also has a Mclaren F1 GTR.. in orange especially restored for him at the factory..

u talking about marylan manson?

[stradale]

^^^LOL, no Nick Mason (drummer of Pink Floyd)

[adlinyusman]

Prince Jeffri had a record of spending over US 400,000 dollars a day for a record of 8 years. I'm not surprised if he has over 8,000 cars. He has got tons of one off bentleys, ferraris, porsches, mercedes....the list goes on and on....damn he's got more cars than Gran Turismo. Kazunori Yamauchi should test the cars at his palace, then we'll have ALL the coolest cars to drive in GT5!

[VWO4L]

Those are some impressive lists if not totally complete. I know Jay Leno has a ton of cars. I'm sure it's not near 5000, but it's well over 100 for sure. Nicholas Cage has a number of cars not mentioned as well. I know he has a Hennessey Viper as well as one of the actual Shelby Mustangs (Eleanor) from "Gone in 60 Seconds". The Sultan of Brunei has more cars than the rest of the world probably knows about. Over the years, they've collected many, many cars. Some have already been mentioned, but I recall reading that he's had multiple Ferraris and other cars ordered identical except for the colors so that he could drive a different color whenever he wanted to. It's true that he also own many one-off cocept vehicles as well as some cars built specifically for him such as a Ferrari 456 wagon and some others I can't think of right now. Must be nice to have all that money. It's also true about Brunei itself. It wouldn't be a bad place to live. I believe they even have an amusement park built for the people which is completely free in addition to all the other stuff. It's nice to see a ruler spread the wealth which oil can give rather than hoarding it all for himself and repressing the people.

[htfaber]

Cool! I'v never seen this one before. I guess not a lot of people know of this car, cause to my knowledge the prototype name for the Enzo was the FX. That guy in Brunei sure knows how to spend his money.

[callen]

this FX is unreal. To be rich enough for ferrari to build you your own car. thats too fuckin much. these guys got too much cash :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: HEy whats the bentley dominator?!? is that a one off custom for the sultans brother???

[Chaos in 1983!]

The Bentley Dominator is a one off Bentley SUV!...I think he had a couple made just for him....I've seen pics of it around the net, I'll look for them and post them later.

[callen]

those pics would be awesome! just link em as im sure everyone else would be curious to see what this bentley dominator looks like thanks dude

[Chaos in 1983!]

Here's a very small pic of it, but at least you can see it...I'll look for more....

http://autozine.kyul.net/article/brunei/bentley_dominator.jpg

Ok, here's a bigger one....

http://www.autotuning.cz/recenze/brunei/pictures/sultan_014.jpg

And this is the Bentley Java...

I also found this F50 he had Ferrari to re-design...it's called Ferrari Bolide....

[Chaos in 1983!]

Here are some pics of the 456 GT Venice....it's actually the best looking estate I've ever seen...although I don't think this should ever be done to a Ferrari....

[stradale]

Don't think of it as an estate. Just call it shooting brake as Aston Martin does. Then it suddenly makes sense, hehe... :D

There's also a saloon and convertibel version of the 456 built specially for the Prince of Brunei. When you see the convertible, the only question that pops up in your mind is: why the hell didn't Ferrari ever produce it on a large scale?!? It's magnificent!

[Chaos in 1983!]

And this is the famous Ferrari FX Concept that Ferrari made for the Sultan based on a 512M...

And this is the 456 Sedan...

[Chaos in 1983!]

And this is an interesting picture, I think it's the only picture of inside the Sultan's garage...too bad it's so small. On the upper picture you can see a Silver and a Green 456 Convertible also a Red 456 Estate and after that one there's a 456 Sedan that you can barely see...

http://www.autotuning.cz/recenze/brunei/pictures/sultan_011.jpg

And this is one of his garages....
http://www.autotuning.cz/recenze/brunei/pictures/sultan_009.jpg

....continuing the list..
Damon Hill (ex F1 driver) - Ferrari 575 Maranello
Les Ferdinand (Footballer) - Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) - Aston Martin DB7...oh no..I think he crashed one of those....and a McLaren F1

The real Madrid team all got new Audis for free, because Audi is their new sponsor.

[crasherror]

Some serious cas to get you hand on the 456 convertable. But a 456 Estate no thanks!

I'm going to be famous one day...and im going to be driving a NSU Ro80....so start looking..

[Zonda11]

Wow! Great Post -- Bruneis Brothers must have one big garage- Wonder how many of those cars actually get driven?

[schnell318]

That thing with the sultan and his cars is just sick...plain sick.

[sickx]

Rusty Wallace ordered a SVT Ford Lightning while I was working at Ford Racing,

also, Will Smith, of all things, ordered 2 Foci !!! Have no idea what he did with those.

[pimrusis]

Correction, Reinhold sold his M3 on ebay I believe.

[phatlee]

If the Sultan of Brunei really did own 5000 cars, even if he ragged a car to death every single day, it would still take him nearly 14 years to go through that entire garage. God I wish I had the opportunity to rag to death a super-sweet car every day for 14 years.

[X-ale]

The Donna in a mini :!: LOL...so fkn cool!!! :D

[TydaCyda]

Prolly for some stupid -ass promotion or to look different, maybe she thinks she's making some sorta fashion statement.

[Overmind]

OMG! :) how does one become a sultan of Brunei? 8)

[pimrusis]

Marry the right guy. Is that legal there?
