I know most of these pics were already posted here and there was a topic that kinda related to this, but I came across a thread in some other forum with some pics of the sultan's cars...and I thought it would be cool if everyone that finds any pics of his cars or his garages would post them here...

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.

those pics are awesome. that guy probably has enough money to pay off my country's deficit.

on second thought, with good ole bush... maybe not.

Sultan is pretty poor right now. His country is bankrupt last i heard. and thats a right hand drive f40 too.

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.

cool cars, i also heard he has like 5 mc larens or something loke that

possessed_beaver · 12-22-2003, 03:21 AM

the F40 is right hand drive, finaly good to see the collection of some of his cars, that have been the subject of alot of talk on discussion boards.

but why was the picture of the F40 taken in italy?

Chaos in 1983! · 12-22-2003, 04:59 AM

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

deth · 12-22-2003, 05:23 AM

from what it looks like the F40 has just been driven out of the showroom! its still got the tag hanging from the rear view mirror!
