The Sultan's secret 1995 Ferrari FX
http://www.automk.com/auto_img10/200...5267177801.png
Richard Owen of Supercars.net recently visited the Marconi Museum in Tustin, California and discovered one of its hidden gems, a Sultan of Brunei custom Ferrari FX. Richard explains the history of this technological tour de force and gives us some insight into the bizarre story of the Sultan and his massive collection of one-offs, custom-builts, exotics and supercars that numbered in the thousands. The whole collection was estimated to have cost some $28 billion. This particular jewel started life as a Ferrari 512M but was so extensively modified that the new FX nomenclature was used. And being the Sultan, this is just number four of seven nearly identical models he had commissioned. Pininfarina redesigned the body and the Williams F1 crew was tabbed to do some mechanical tweaking. |
the Sultan of Brunei is the ultimate Pimp of all Pimps...bow down son!!!!

No let me give you the story: It was a cold dark night in the inner city. A humble Saturn was walking alone at 3 AM down the city streets. The saturn was beaten, assaulted and raped by a pontiac trans am. This is the resulting love child. |

Having seen that car in person at the Newport Concours, I can say with authority that you are correct. The only thing missing is that the love child went on to live a hard life of abuse on the streets before coming to Marconi, as when I saw it, it looked pretty rough. |
IMO it looks like a mix between a 300zx tt and a Teterossa. Ugly IMO just like that Pininfarina they built out of the Enzo. Hideous.

stupid and ugly. clearly money hasn't bought him taste (at least on this particular car choice).
