Sultan of Brunei’s rare right hand drive Ferrari F50 up for grabs

The Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, has a passion for the most expensive, beautiful, rarest, fastest and unique cars. His ultimate collection of 7,000 high performance cars include 350 Rolls Royce cars, 134 Koenigeggs, eight McLaren F1s, 6 Ferrari FXs, 2 Ferrari Mythos, 6 Dauer Porsche 962 LMs and a number of luxurious Jaguars, Porsches and Bentleys. Here is your chance to own a true gem from his vast collection – a rare right hand drive factory-built Ferrari F50, which is one of only two in existence. The ultra-rare car was made for the Sultan personally in 1996. It has a V12 engine producing 513bhp at 8500 rpm with a torque of 470 Nm. The F50 does 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and boasts a top speed of 202 mph. The F50 was built as the response to the technological challenge of producing a streetcar with all the characteristics of an F1 racer. The chassis of the car has been built completely from composite materials such as carbon fiber, Kevlar and Nomex honeycomb. This rare Sultan of Brunei’s ex-car has now reached JamesList, but the seller hasn’t disclosed the pricing details
