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.
i knew i read that somewhere
that just sounds incredibly creepily cool )

bruni was nearley bankrupt, before they discovered oil.
some very impressive GPA, because it has such a small population.

Brunei is not bankrupt...it was nearly bankrupt but then came the oil as beav said and they are all filthy rich...loclas don't pay taxes, and get free education, health care and tons of shit more...the Sultan's Family keeps about half the country's income...

I wish I had even half of those cars, he must be rich as hell because I know he has more cars than what you posted. But I'm wondering why would anyone need 8 mclarens? :roll:

Why do these crazy sultans always need something special?? Are the standard Ferraris and Bentleys not good enough for him?......though they look very good :fadein:
