A Ferrari estate?? Is that a custom job? I've seen pictures of a super stretch Porsche 911 limousine, that's the same sort of (crazy) thing. I should be so rich one day that I can have a Ferrari custom made to suit my grocery shopping needs.

i read somewhere that he has like 3000 rare and exotic cars. only a few of them are even known. i guess he has a slew of mechanics contsantly maintaining them. i read somewhere that ferrari fx has a special gearbox that is one of a kind worth a milltion dollars alone. anyway i think that they arent the sultan's cars. i am pretty sure that they are his son's prince jefri.

The Ferrari Mythos is a Pininfarina show car based on the Testarossa.
This is what fast-autos.net mentiones on the FX:
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.

He has 5 garages filled with exotics...over 5000 cars...he's got 8 mclarens...and several one off concepts like the Mythos, Fx and the 456 variations(Saloon, Estate, Convertible)...he also has various custom F40s I've read...I think the reason that the picture of the Grey F40 is taken in Italy is that the Sultan has sold various of his cars...this must be one of them
